GENERAL

Any of the following can cause a motor to not _pin or agitate properly. Therefore, before dssuming a motor needs to be replaced, the following areas should all be checked and the appropriate service done.

Clean and lubricatrtne motor carriage. The motor carriage should be lubricated with Maytag Poly Lube Grease, Part No. 2-4999 or 2-3959.

,Check for a broken or missing motor carriage roller(s). If a roller is broken, a 2-5000 motor roller repair kit should be used.

,The Maytag washer i_esigned to operate on an individual 15 atit_ branch circuit supply-

ing 120 volts, 60 Hz currtnt. If the lights dim in a customer's home when the washer

b_,gins to spin, this usually indicates a

i¸_voltage problem. If the voltage is between 100 and 110 volts when the washer begins to spin, installing a 2-6103 start capacitor in series with the start winding will provide additional starting torque. This additional torque allows the motor to move from the start winding to the run winding without the motor overheating and tripping on the overload protector. If the voltage is below

100 volts, contact an electrician.

ELECTRICALCHECKS

To check the motor, use a 38183 motor test cord as shown in the following drawings. If the motor will not operate when properly connected to the test cord, the motor will need to be replaced.
