Possible Causes
Faulty tachometer sensor on motor, loose motor connector, damaged motor harness, failing main control board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before accessing the motor or control board.
Step-by-step checks:
- 1. Access motor: Remove the rear panel and locate the drive motor.
- 2. Inspect tach wiring: Identify the tachometer wires (often a smaller pair in the motor connector). Ensure the connector is fully seated and wires are not broken.
- 3. Check motor mount: Ensure the motor is firmly mounted and not excessively loose, which can affect tach readings.
- 4. Test tach output (advanced): With a multimeter set to AC volts and the motor connector partially back-probed (only if you are trained and can do this safely), spin the drum by hand and look for a small AC voltage from the tach leads. No output suggests a bad tach or motor.
- 5. Replace motor: If the tach is integrated and faulty, replace the entire motor assembly with the correct Maytag part.
