Hi Everyone,
So my beautiful Maytag 142S is frying motors! After the wash cycle and the cool down pause, it is not spinning and making the motor heat up. It fried one and it tried to fry a new motor, so I’m assuming this problem is in the timer somewhere? Maybe it’s telling to to turn in both directions at the same time? Does anyone have any idea what to look for and fix? I don’t have much experience with timer circuitry. Thanks!! -Mark

Doesn't sound like a timer problem. And since you've replaced the motor already, it doesn't sound like a stuck centrifugal switch either.
I'd say check for pieces of clothing stuck between the inner and outer tubs. On my A209 I picked up, it had two socks that had found their way over the top and had jammed up the tub. It would wash just fine, but groaned and struggled to spin. www.automaticwasher.org/c... | ||

Mark,
Dug around the attic this afternoon and found the last 2-1166 timer I have on hand. Not sure where it came from but it does appear to have been rebuilt at one time. Shoot me a PM if you’re interested. I’ll make you a deal you won’t be able to refuse. 😊 Ben | ||
