Bi-direconal PSC (Permanent Split Capacitor) 120 VAC. Agitaon and
variable spin speeds are accomplished by applying power in pulses.
Transmission
The transmission is a non-serviceable belt driven component.
nInner sha top splines connect to the agitator.
nBoom splines connect to the splutch pulley.
nBoom splines connect to the inner splines of the splutch cam.
Splutch
The splutch is made up of ve parts:
nSpring
nHousing
nCam Ring
nBasket Drive Gear and Pulley
The pulley is connected to the agitator through the agitator sha.
The agitator always moves with the pulley. The basket drive gear is
connected to the basket by the inner splines contacng the outer splines
of the transmission. The cam ring raises and lowers the basket drive
gear. When the basket drive gear teeth are engaged to the pulley teeth
the basket will spin along with the agipellor.

Shifter/Actuator
The actuator serves several funcons. It has a synchronous motor that
shis the splutch slider and monitors the posion of the splutch. It also
houses a transmission speed/posion opcal sensor.
A. Shifter/Actuator
The shifter motor rotates a cam, attached to the shifter arm which
moves between two positions. The shifter arm moves the transmission
lever which engages or disengages the transmission creating agitate and
spin. The washing machine is in spin when the shifter is up in this
position. The teeth of the splutch are engaged with the teeth of the
pulley and the motor turns the pulley in a direction for spin. When the
shifter pulls the lever down it disengages the teeth. The washing
machine is in agitate. The length of each stroke is controlled by the CCU.
There are three different patterns.
Agitator
Water Levels
Lid Lock
Since this washer does not ulize a brake, a lid lock is used to prevent
access during spin. During the spin cycles, a lid lock mechanism will lock
the lid. The lid must be closed for the washer to ll, wash, drain, or spin.
The lock mechanism houses a switch that senses the lid is down, a latch
solenoid and a magnec reed switch to conrm that the lid is locked.

DIAGNOSTICS AND TROUBLESHOOTING (Cont.)
2-4 n Maytag®3.5 cu.ft. Commercial-Grade Residential Agitator Washer
Diagnostic Guide
Before Servicing, check the following:
nMake sure there is power at the wall outlet.
nHas a household fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped? Was a regular
fuse used? Inform customer that a me-delay fuse is required.
nAre both hot and cold water faucets open and water supply hoses
unobstructed?
nMake sure drain hose is not sealed into drain pipe, and that there is
an air gap for venlaon. Ensure drain height is between 39" (0.991
m) and 8' (2.4 m) above the oor.
nAll tests/checks should be made with a VOM (volt-ohm-
milliammeter) or DVM (digital-voltmeter) having a sensivity of
20,000 Ω per volt DC or greater.
nResistance checks must be made with washer unplugged or power
disconnected.
IMPORTANT: Avoid using large diameter probes when
checking harness connectors as the probes may damage the
connectors upon inseron.
nCheck all harnesses and connecons before replacing components.
Look for connectors not fully seated, broken or loose wires and
terminals, or wires not pressed into connectors far enough to engage
metal barbs.
nA potenal cause of a control not funconing is corrosion or
contaminaon on connecons. Use an ohmmeter to check for
connuity across suspected connecons.
nTo properly check voltage:
1. Unplug appliance or disconnect power.
2. Aach voltage measurement probes to proper connectors.
3. Plug in appliance or reconnect power and verify voltage reading.
4. Unplug appliance or disconnect power aer compleng voltage
measurements.

Fault/Error Code Display Method
Fault/error codes are displayed by alternang the state of the Status
LEDs in one second intervals. All fault/error codes have an F# and an E#.
The F# indicates the suspect System/Category and the E# indicates the
suspect Component system.
If the FILL LED is ON, the Fault Number is represented; if OFF, the Error
Number is represented (see example below). The remaining LEDs (SOAK/
WASH, RINSE, FINAL SPIN, and DONE) represent the fault and error code
in binary. (See Fault/Error Code Charts for more informaon.)
