This console and control layout is what's on your A612? Assuming so, the designated Delicate cycle is nothing more than a shorter wash period on the Regular Fabrics cycle. The sprays and rinsing sequence are identical regardless of what wash time is chosen. You can select Gentle-Slow for *any* desired wash time and get a "delicate" cycle on either Regular Fabrics (with or without Automatic Presoak) or Permanent Press.

Do you mean the water level pressure switch? Would it also malfunction on any cycle with a low water level selected? Aren't spray rinses timed? He said they work on the other two cycles. |

Delicate is marked on the Normal fabric side of the dial(6-8 minutes). It only fails to rinse, when delicate, and gentle/slow spin is selected. |

This topic has come up in the past. I raised it and was given the advice - this was back in Yahoo! group's days - to start a rinse on an empty tub. Spray worked properly, it turned out the belt running the pump was slipping so badly (on a real Maytag, that takes a lot) to drive it. Come to think of it, timer dogs, silly fuse on some later models and slipping belts have been the cause of nearly all our Maytag problems over the decades.

A low/small water level should be long gone by the time the spray should begin. I would continue to look there. Are you sure that both belts are Maytag belts? Or has the drain hose been replaced? Is there a part number on the drain hose? The higher than normal standpipe may also have something to do with it. Malcolm |

Yes, a plethora of compounded knowledge, and we are welcome to it all. Like I always say, strength in numbers. |
