Well, I finally got my Maytag running with a proper center dial control panel after having a few circuit breaker pops occur... The only problem is, now it doesn't feel like paying attention to whether or not the timer is pushed in or pulled out, it just goes! It will however stop when placed in an off position. Any ideas?

at OFF you have a definite off because the timer switch has cut out the power, any other position you have to rely on the dial switch being in or out I forget which on a Maytag but somehow you have shorted out the in/out switch and by passed that. Usually there are two contacts on the timer that connect when the dial is in or out and they aren't wired into the circuit.

MT washers were not that easy to fix when they have drive-line problems. Most independent repair shops over the last 30 years or so would always throw all the MTs that came in away. They much preferred GE & WP and KM machines for rebuilding for resale purposes. The easiest washer to put main bearings in would have to be a GE FF washer you lift out the old transmission and drop in the remanufactured unit and $75 dollars later your done in less than 30 minutes, you don't even move the washer away from the wall. MTs are very well built and some repairs [belts,water pump ] are very easy. But by far the easiest washer ever would be the DD WPs followed by the GE FFs then I would go to the WP BDs.
