Hi, I have a Maytag washer model A410 that I bought new around 1980. My repairman is suggesting I buy an A512 to replace it. I really like the sliding water level selector on the machine I have. Do you know what later models had that water selector? Thanks! | ||

Problem Hi Malcolm, I have spent a fair amount on it this last year. Now during the wash cycle it stops and I hear clicking. If I shut it off and wait a while it will resume washing. It doesn't do this every time. Thanks. | ||

Problem PS Also during the wash cycle the motor changes and makes an awful noise. I got a rebuilt motor last year. My repairman thought it might be a good idea to upgrade to a slightly newer machine. | ||

The A512 has the sliding infinite water lever selector, along with the A612 and A712, but the A512 is more commonly available used. | ||

The clicking sounds like the motor overheating and cutting out. This could be due to improper belt tension, worn belts, or motor slide needing cleaning and lubrication. It also could be more complicated like the transmission putting too much load on the motor but I would check out the belts and make sure the motor moves freely on its slide first. Also make sure there isn't an oil leak underneath that could be gumming up the belts.
Best of luck. Patrick | ||

Problem PS > Thank you, Patrick. That was my first thought too. My repairman thought I could buy an A512 for what it might cost me to fix this one. He also said the 512 was a better machine than my 410. What do you think? | ||

Models The A512 has the sliding infinite water lever selector, along with the A612 and A712, but the A512 is more commonly available used. Dig A Pony, can you tell me the differences between the 512, 612, and 712? Is one better than another? Thanks! | ||

I don't know that one Maytag would be better than any other....for the most part, they are all the same internals, give or take a newton or orbital tranny......
the only difference between models would be capacity, cycles/options, and speeds.... a BOL unit is not built any less than a TOL unit as far as internals, especially when it comes to a true Maytag.... this link from one of our members will give you a good idea of features from each model in general....

I have two speeds now and want the same in a newer machine s Where are you in California? I think there are some members out there who are Maytag fans and perhaps could be on the lookout for a two speed machine you might like. | ||

Where are you in California? I am in the San Francisco Bay area. I would love it if there are local Maytag fans that could keep an eye out for me. Thanks! | ||

More problems More problems with the Maytag A410. Yesterday it would not agitate in the wash cycle. The timer just clicked. When I advanced the timer to the spin and rinse cycle, it worked fine. This makes me think it is not the motor. Any ideas from the experts? | ||

Problem is electrical My repairman was here this morning. He says the problem is electrical. The motor overheats and shuts off. He did not check the belts or anything else. Shouldn't that have been done first? What do you think? | ||

Loud noise I can stop that noise by changing the button from Gentle/Fast to Gentle/Slow. This is when it is agitating. Any ideas? | ||

Update You were right DigAPony. I had a different repairman here this morning. It is the timer. He knew right away what the trouble was. He thought the machine was in remarkably good shape considering it's age. I will still watch for a 712 but at least it is not an emergency. Thanks for your help everyone. | ||
