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.
To check the motor, use a 38183 motor test
cord as shown in the following drawings. If the

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
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.
