if you're handy at all you might try opening your timer up to have a look. The symptom you're describing can be caused by fouled contacts in which case you might have a go at cleaning them up with some emery cloth or something similar. Fouled contacts are easy to spot and they should be accessible on both Kingston and Mallory timers. It's worth a try anyways.

Is there any spray or chemical you can put on fouled contacts to prevent this from happening again? |

I mean once the timer is open and the contacts are exposed, is there something to put on them to prevent fouling in the future? |

but not the final spin, yes it has timer problems, it is a bad cam however and NOT bad contacts and unless you want to build the cam back up with epoxy and precisely regrind it to orignal dimensions it is NOT repairable, find another new, rebuilt or used timer.
Timer contacts that handle 120 volts and 700 watts DO NOT get dirty and there is nothing that should be sprayed on them, you can spray some silicone lubricant on the timer cam if you like to make the timer turn and advance more smoothly if you like.

Try disconnecting the belts and see if it turns then, also try moving the transmission pulley and check for excess resistance. Another thing, make sure that the motor carriage is clean and rust free as well as glides easily and smoothly, without the clutching action provided by the slip type belts and the motor carriage being free, it could easily trip the thermal overload. Does it have OEM Maytag belts, or aftermarket? That could make all the difference.
Check the pump too, it could be frozen or jammed. |

d-jones, I am going to keep the old timer for now. I might need it later on. I found out the old motor part number is 2-1666, and the new motor 12002353 is correct according to maytagreplacementparts.com catalog. |
