Is it round or square?

the round ones can often be repaired/rewound.

Maytag N2L (with a pump)

I'm pretty sure the motor itself is round, but I'll have to look again when I'm home.

I did contact the guy in New York that Launderess mentioned in another thread. He said he has a used one for $30 + shipping.

I also contacted Walt (forgot his screen name) and he thinks he can get a used one as well.

I don't know of any places that rebuild electric motors here in So Cal, but I haven't really looked either.

Hi Guys ... if you don't get a motor, here's a google search I did. I'm not sure if all of these are in your vicinity, but it would seem like someone could help.

The electric motor service in our little community still repairs these; they will even spray paint them. They also carry belts that work perfectly; just take the old one in with you.

I usually get a new cord, too. Just to be sure.

Good luck ...

Motor Rebuilders

Probably not much to that motor; they're very simple. Take it apart and see if you can fix the problem. The issue is probably a lack of oil at the end of the shaft bushings.

I recently took apart the 2 speed round style motor in my 806. I soaked the sponge like material for the end bushings in turbine oil, put a drop of of turbine oil on all 4 sliding surfaces of the centrifugal clutch, cleaned up the contacts and slapped it back together. Quieted the motor significantly and the transitions between agitate and spin (and the opposite) are much, much smoother now. Very simple, IMO.

Is the motor really blown-or is it a bad start cap or cent start switch.These can be replaced.If the motor start and run windings are still good-the motor should work again.You may be able to clean or burnish the start switch contacts yourself-its worth a try.You will need to take apart the motor to get to its start switch.The contacts should be closed and making contact when the motor is stopped.The switch is on the rotor.The stationay contact part of the switch is in the end bell of thge motor.

It's amazing what you can find when you actually look!

THANK YOU Geoff and others for your suggestions!

I did try calling a few places in my local area and of the one that actually DO rebuild motors (there are very few), they said they only work on larger electric motors, like 25 HP and up (not "small" ones like this). DARN!
