I’m back! Well, I managed to change the damper pads on my Maytag LA108 washer. Unfortunately, I have run into machine operations. At first I could not seem to get operational power, so I decided to remove the lid switch and jumper the two wires. Success! The motor activated and began machine agitation; however, it will not actuate the spin cycle in any selected mode?
Seeking advice as to what may be the issue. Note that during the disassembly, cleanup & servicing process I removed all the motor wiring connections from the motor start switch attached to the motor. I took pictures but may have errored in rewiring? Does anyone have a wiring schematic for this assembly (operation) or electrical test procedure? The timer appears to be functioning, at least during the agitation cycle - it was replaced circa 2005.
The tub level and water solenoid hoses have not yet been reattached…
Lastly, the appliance repair man came today and could not troubleshoot because I did not have a wiring schematic. He seemed to want to retire the old girl and sell me a refurbished unit. He offered to take my old machine off my hands. I would prefer to salvage her if all possible.
Appreciate any help I can get from those who know what they are doing. Rick
