DESCRIPTION;
ONE SPEED MOTOR
GENERAL
Any of the following can cause a motor to not
spin or agitate properly. Therefore, before
assuming a motor needs to be replaced, the
following areas should all be checked and the
appropriate service done.
1. Clean and lubricatrtne motor carriage. The
motor carriage should be lubricated with
Maytag Poly Lube Grease, Part No. 2-4999
or 2-3959.
j 2. 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.
3. The Maytag washer ¡Resigned to operate on
an individual 15 ad^brancii circuit supply­
ing 120 volts, 60 Hz curnnt. If the lights
dim in a customer's home when the washer
begins to spin, this usually indicates a
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 lo 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.
ELECTRICAL CHECKS
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.
