Hello,
I've got a Maytag A407 washer and DE608 dryer set that we have owned for over 30 years. Bought them used for $325 when my wife and I got married.
The are both Harvest Gold.
The motor on the A407 died. Smoke coming out of the coils. So, I bought an new motor. All sites say the #12002351 should work but I can not find any information on how to wire the existing 5 wires from the A407 to it. The information I've found is to retrofit newer models.
Old motor is a 2-1664-7. Wire colors are Green, yellow, black, white and red.
Included with the new motor is a pigtail with Blue, yellow, black, white and red.
Green does not equal blue.
In the absence of any better info, I did wire green to blue and the others to their corresponding colors, but nothing happened. I would rotate the dial to the different wash stages, pull the know for a second and see if it would spin or at least make some transformer noise. Nothing...
So, anyone know the wiring pattern to wire the new motor to the old A407?
I'm including several pictures. Old motor, new motor wiring block, adapter pig tail and a photo of the wiring schematic on the back panel of the A407. I can figure what wires are doing what from the schematic, but I have no idea what the internal wiring of the new #12002351 is.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
