mah5500bww Maytag neptune washer

Just to let you know it was the lower displacement switch. I just took off the front cover and found that the wire had corroded inside the connecter so you couldnt tell it wasnt making contact. Luckily I tested continuity on the switch and it didnt work. I also followed the wires to the top controll panel and tested continuity there after I reattached to the switch. It showed ok. They start out as blue wires and then go to a connecter and turn to red and orange. You want to test at the board because there are a couple more switches in series so if one doesnt work they all wont work. A simple fix that could have been many more things.

Also this washer has leaked in the past from the rubber lineing because hole developed where of coarse the mold is. I cleaned it very well and dried it. Then I usd a raft repair kit and glue on the patches. Its lasted over 2 years now.

I notice that my washer's door boot was rupture then I replaced that but I noticed that when the washer (Maytag MAH5500BWW) counting down to 8 or 9 minutes then it just reset to 0 without doing the final spin for extraction. Therefore the clothes are still soggy. Please help ...

Possible machine board, motor/motor board.

I have a similar problem with my Neptune stackable unit. The washer doesn't spin. When I took foo the front cover, I notice that one of the two blue wires that lead to the tub displacement switch (which sits in a bracket jsut below the tub) is broken. did you replace just the wire or is it necessary to replace the entire switch because the wire harness is permanently attached to it as a single entire assembly? Also, if I need to replace the switch and attached wire harness, is it hard to trce the wire back? That is, do I need to take most of the washer apart? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much.

I have an oldie, MAH3000AWW (Serial #25106222UK) that has the same problem of working thru the cycles but not draining/spinning at the end. It used to be that I could unplug it for a couple minutes and it would re-set and work for days or weeks. Not so lucky now. I did open it up and remove a penny from the input to the pump and hoped that was the problem. I plan to check the pump again tomorrow to make sure I didn't miss anything. I'll also check the connections at the motor control board. Any ideas?? I fought with Maytag years ago and got replacements for the wax motor, control board, boot etc.
