Default Wont lock or spin...
Brand: Maytag
Model Number: MAH4000AWW
Age: 5 - 10 years

Hey guys. I'm having trouble with my washer and my wife is getting impatient with me for not fixing it yet so any advise would be helpful The washer goes through the whole cycle till the end when it is suppose to dry the clothes a little with the spin cycle, well the door lock light wont go on, therefore not letting the machine do the spin. Now it does spin a little but not fast enough. Timer, door lock assembly, control panel? Thanks

Check the voltage to the wax motor in the lock switch mechanism during the spin cycle.

If there is 120 volt present replace the door lock switch mechanism.

If 120 volt is not there check for continuity between the door lock wax motor and the machine control board. Board terminal p7(4)/br14.

If there is continuity the machine control board will have to be replaced.

If there is no continuity repair or replace the wiring harness.

Here is a link to your washer model MAH4000AWW.
