Take the belts off, and see if the motor runs.

half second motor

Hi, 'run' windings broken so only runs on 'start' windings? Or is the motor polling due to a worn rear motor bush?

Just thought i'd throw my two bobs worth in!

lid switch?

possible lid switch
dont hear it click as i open the lid

May already be bypassed.
Doesn't explain the half-second pump-out.
Can't hurt to check if all wires to motor are still connected.
Does it do the same thing upon wash/agitation? (i.e. motor in reverse direction?)

 

[dynaflow]

runs great on was agitation

AFTER THAT IT DIES WHEN IT TRIES TO PUMP OUT WASH WATER TIMER STILL CLICKS THOUGH DURING ALL

 

[qsd-dan]

Sounds like it's either the motor or motor start switch. The motor start switch would be the cheapest route to replace first.

 

[toggleswitch2]

Could the pump be locked? You'd think the belt would still turn though........

WELLLLLLLLLLLL

TOOK THE FRONT OFF THE OLD B%$%$^$%^ AND STARTED HER UP WHEN IT DECIDES TO STOP THE MOTOR CLICKS AND WHEN IT COOLS DOWN CLICKS AGAIN SO U CAN GO ANOTHER SEC OR 2

Oops, somehow I missed this post.

I can't seem to find a switch with that number. Actually, that number doesn't even sound right. Usually it will start with a 2 (example 2-05131).

Is this the original motor? If it's, I should be able to find the correct part # via microfiche.

I'll be out of town through Saturday without access to the internet, so I should have a definitive answer for you by then.

 

[dynaflow]

thank you

dan
appreciate all ur help

 

[dynaflow]

think it is

looks to be original motor marked maytag
start switch has 12 leads on it color coded on top for wires

 

[qsd-dan]

Looks like we need to break things down a little more. According to the fiche, there are 3 different motors using 3 different start switches.

Motor# Start Switch#
2-5132 2-1664-4
2-5133 2-1664-8
2-5139 2-1664-5
