Is there anyway to stop Speed Queen INDEXING?

[scrubflex]

Lghh, hey John, I get it...if I do get a Speed Queen, I want the AWN542...more than likely refurbished because it's an older model (will not be able to find it brand new)...so indexing will no longer be a problem...something different for a little while...a million THANKS to Robert (unimatic1140) for teaching us how to use a SHAFT COUPLING that enable us to switch out and play with our favorite agitators in some daily drivers...everyone knows that the Kelvinator Ten-Vane "angel wings" agitator is one of my favorite...I think it'll look 'PURTIE' in Speed Queen's 3.3 cu.ft. Stainless Steel tub.
My 2005 Whirlpool Gold DD washer is out of commission...it hmms, fills up but, does not agitate or spin...not really sure what to do with it..any suggestions...don't have space for third washer...live in an apartment

Does the 2005 WP DD need a new coupler?

Busted WP Gold .... if the motor runs and it drains then the coupler may be the issue.

If the motor doesn't run (hums for a bit then may shut off on thermal overheat until it cools and tries to run again) ... then could be a loose/burned wire or bad capacitor, bad speed switch (if equipped - problem occurs on all speed choices, or all cycles if speed is in the timer?), or bad timer, or a sock or some such jammed in the pump, or a mechanical problem with the transmission.

Double checked---powers on (hum) and fills in the wash and rinse cycles...no sound in agitate or spin cycle...don't believe there's a chance of sock in the pump because basic loads aren't large enough and the neutral drain...which also stopped working...started spin draining

 

[DADoES]

 
Humming sound during filling is the water valve solenoids.  The motor doesn't receive power, of course, until the target water level is reached for agitation to start.

Silence from the drive motor during agitation (AFTER the target water level is reached) and during drain/spin = motor not receiving power.

First thing I'd check is the lid switch if this is a model that doesn't agitate with the lid open (or does the lid switch stop only spin/drain?).

Next thing is check the wires on the motor.

Proceed from there accordingly per the results.

Thanks DaDoES, installed a new lid switch already...no agitation or spinning...drained tub with bucket last time I tried to use it...what do I need to look for regarding motor wires

 

[DADoES]

 
Visually examine them for burning.

Pull the connector off the motor.  Trace each wire to its other end and check for continuity from the connector terminal to the end.

Hey DaDoES, I didn't bother to check the motor, there's a website that I use for extra help called 'The Appliance Man' that provide step-by-step instructional videos for repair jobs...turns out that the motor coupling and the neutral drain clutch assembly are broken and need to be replaced...my Maytag A712 all of a sudden started and stop leaking as well, not sure what I'll do

A712 problem solved
