Maytag LA4910 Check/moniter switch okay? Is my motor the real culpri
Jake:
Maytag Dependable Care washer LA4910. I purchased the lead switch assembly locally and installed it, but problems persist. Between the white/green stripe and the red wire, it is 0 ohms when depressed (lid open position). This is what it should be. However, there is 2000K Ohms between the black wire and the red wire when the white plunger is let out, which should be zero (door closed position). Pushing the white plunger in does not change anything. What does all this mean? If the check switch does not have continuity when the door is closed, then why is my fuse blowing? (My lid switch moves freely and the resistance between terminals when the white plunger is depressed is 0 ohms and more than 200K ohms when the white plunger is let out. I think it is okay) (Please note that while I was testing the tub for water drainage in the spin cycle, I filled the tub to the top and measured how much time it took for the tub to empty in the spin cycle. It took more than 2 mins and hardly emptied (there was a sock stuck which has been removed). While this test was going on the motor sort of labored trying to spin a tub full of water. It did for 2.5 mins and then stopped which is when the fuse blew)
