Washer motor start windings burned up
The motor was easy to replace: unplug the wiring harness, slip off the belts, release the tension springs from the motor carriage with needle-nose pliers, and then unbolt the motor carriage with socket set and remove from the washer. Remove the pulley from the old motor with allen wrench and transfer the carriage to the new motor. Reverse operation for everything and you are back in business. The hardest part was the far back screw holding the carriage, a wobble extension helped.

Washer fills then don’t agitate unless i help by spinning the belt slightly then the same thing between each cycle. No burnt smell, just humming until i help start it. Could it be the motor switch?
For model number Lat7304aam
Hello Jim, thank you for your question. If the belt is tight and the pulley is moving after you give the belt a push and does not seem like its seizing up, the motor should be replaced. The switch/capacitor sounds bad on that motor. Good luck with your repair!

Washing machine motor makes a loud banging noise as it slides toward the drum. This happens at the beginning while it’s gaining speed in spin cycle. I also noticed a light surging nearby as the noise is made. Do I need to replace motor?
For model number A482
Hello Frank, thank you for inquiring. For this symptom you will want to replace either the Belt Kit part PS2005284, the Tub Bearing Kit part PS2347235, or the Rear Bearing part PS11739437. We hope this helps.

So my motor had burning smell and not spinning (draining works fine). I found out that the belt for spinning was broken. After I replaced the belt the spinning worked again but then not draining… And then I saw the motor burned out with smoke.. I’m planning to replace the motor with this one, just want to ask if anything else I need to replace before place order. Also this is the correct one right? For Maytag A512. Thanks!
For model number Maytag A512
Hello Frank, thank you for contacting us. The drive motor, you mentioned, is the correct part for your model. We would recommend checking the drain pump, part number PS11743017, for the draining issue. We hope this information helps!
Our drier is making loud noises when first starting. And the last time I ran it, it smelled like something was burning. We replaced the rollers and belt with no luck before the burning smell and now are wondering if the motor is the issue. Thanks for your advice!!!
For model number LDE5916ACE Maytag Drier
Hi Katie, thank you for reaching out. According to our research and considering the symptoms you mentioned, the issue seems to be with the drive motor, part number PS3500893. Over time, the bearings inside the drive motor get partially jammed. This makes the drive motor use more energy for rotating the dryer tub, causing the windings to overheat and might cause a burning smell and noise. We hope this helps, good luck with this repair!
My washer stopped spinning and made a buzzing sound. Then I smelled burning. Replaced the motor(43 years old). doing the same thing(buzzing sound). I am at a loss.
For model number A105 top load washer
Hi Matthew, thank you for your question. A burning smell coming from the washing machine during or after the spin cycle indicates the possible stuck drain pump in which its pump motor would not turn. With that, it may generate a burning smell. We would recommend checking the following parts to fix the issue: belt kit, part number PS2005284, glide and spring kit, part number PS2017149, tub bearing kit, part number PS2347235, and drain pump, part number PS11743017. We hope this information is useful!
Hi, My machine made a high pitched squeal during a cycle and then smoke came out. Unplugged machine. Unloaded the washer and was able to turn to spin cycle to drain the water. The machine is no longer smoking but will not agitate. It will fill and spin but not agitate. What can be done to fix this issue?
