Hey Bobby, Try spraying the motor switch with contact cleaner. I'm sure you've checked the belts and motor carriage. Also make sure the speed selector buttons are fully depressed.Depending on where it is plugged in, maybe a low voltage scenario? | ||

Hi John! I knew you would be one of the ones to the rescue. It is definitely not a low voltage issue, not belts or motor carriage either. Would it be worth changing the switch to see if that solves the problem? Bobby in Boston | ||

Does this strange sound happen on any cycle; wash and spin;high and low speed? It would be worth changing the motor switch...good place to start anyway. Do you have a good switch from another motor? If not, give me the part # and I'll check it out. | ||

Another concern...
Can you describe the noise? That might help. One way to check the motor is to remove the wiring from the start switch and run a jumper cord to it and plug it in, eliminating the washer electronics. The test cord is easy enough to make and I'll post a chart for you. If the colors on the start switch don't match the diagram, refer to your schematic that is either in the console or stuck to the machine somewhere... This is, of course, if you're comfortable doing this. You can test with or without the belts on... RCD

Thanks RCD. I think the motor is fine. I am suspect of the switch however. I think the easiest thing to do at this point is replace the switch and see if that does the trick. Bobby in Boston | ||

OK, Can someone translate the old part numbers into the new? The motor is 2-1666-13. The number on the switch is 8824. It seems the part numbers have changed, and some of the switches are NLA. Any suggestions? John??? Bobby in Boston | ||
