I had what appears to be the same model with matching dryer before they were lost in the Valley Fire last Sept. Interestingly, my washer had the same issue -- it would start, then shut itself off. After a few tries, it finally wouldn't turn on at all. Never had a chance to figure it out and am wondering if that's an inherent issues with those machines..?

Agitator
That agitator and lint filter are both very hard to come by and sought after by many. I've been looking for several years for an original Bakelite agitator in good condition with no luck at all. Just about the only place one might expect to find one anymore is in another machine such as your Highlander. Based on the lint filter with the built in fabric softener dispenser I'd guess this is a TA502. A nice machine on it's own but also a great source of some hard to find replacement parts for the higher end models. A very nice find.

hey bvf/mark...
CONGRATULATIONS!
On such a BEAUTIFUL maytag find! WOWZERS, that turquoise is BEAUTIFUL!! I bet that lint filter screen is alot easier to clean than the plastic ones? Very nice! And yeah, that is a nice agitator! Are the fins solid to the bottom skirt of the agitator? If so, that would be perfect so strapped items of clothing won't get caught under the slots of the fins! CONGRATULATIONS again on the GREAT finds! I look forward to seeing them in action! ;o) | ||

The centrifugal start switch in the motor is probably stuck on start. It should be repairable if the windings aren't smoked too much yet. | ||

MT Washer Motor If the motor turns freely when off but will not start and run when turned on you may have a bad timer or a wire off at the motor or timer. If the timer just energizes the start winding and not the main winding it will behave this way. When looking at the timer look for poped rivets on the timer contacts, this was a big problem on Mallory timers in the early to mid 60s and will cause problems like this. | ||
