Healthy Washer

Regarding my "Sick Washer" post from a while back, I'm happy to say that the washer has regained health with the help of an unqualified technician.

I researched and researched what timer to purchase, and after calls to several parts houses, and kindly older lady informed me that with these Maytag washers, your series number is as close to the first two digits of your washer serial number as possible, without going over.

Example: My SN started with 11, which makes my unit a series 10, not a series 15. Ok!

So, I finally ordered the timer from PartSelect.com because they had the best price, but the site that really helped and educated me was RepairClinic.com.




I learned a lot. It just goes to show you that if I can do it, anyone can.

Here's the happy moment when the part arrived:

Congrats! Repairing a washing machine may sound complicated, but these machines are pretty simple inside. With a few basic tools and the steps we show here, you can solve most problems yourself—and save the cost of a service call ($80 to $150). We won't cover every fix, but the repairs we show will correct about 90 percent of washer troubles.
