When you choose warm for wash do you hear any buzzing with no water flow?
If not, more than likey the warm temp solenoid has gone bad on the water valve. You can test the timer / switch operation by switching the warm wire on the hot side. If during wash and rinse you get hot when you choose warm you know your switch and timer are okay. Water valve solenoids are pretty common. Most varieties from two temp valves of the same age will swap with little issue. If you do hear buzzing the valve may not be opening all the way. It can be rebuilt with rebuild kits, but it may be easier for you to find an NOS 3 way valve. You may be able to switch in a hot/cold valve, however you would lose your warm temp. Ben |

Here's a wiring diagram.
So the valve does buzz when you choose warm but no water comes out - not even a trickle? A valve rebuild would be helpful, however, I'd put in a new valve at this point. I've heard through the grapevine that Larry at Modern Parts in Parma, OH may have a valve on hand for you. Tell him your Maytag model and he will know what to look for. Google the business and the city for the phone number. Ben |

Cathy, you are welcome. If you need help or advice in the future please don't hesitate to ask.
Maytag used a three valve water valves on TOL machines up until the early 906 washers. The warm valve provides a regulated warm output, via a thermostat built into the valve, providing approx. 100 degree warm water, rather than relying on mixing both cold and warm with two valves and no regulating thermostat.
