Washing machine fills with water then stops working

Need mor info. Do you hear any noises? Can you hear the timer motor running?

No noise,can't hear moter running, fills with water then try to turn dial nothing works on any cycles.

Check the contacts in the timer. Make sure they are opening and closing as you advance timer. Have you checked with volt meter to see where you are losing the power at in the unit?

How do I check contacts in timer and how to see timer if contact are opening and closing

Disconnect the power to the unit. Remove the console and look, you will see several sets of contacts. Do the look butnt or are the welded together? Turn the timer dial and watch and see it they open and close. Also if you own and know how to use a volt meter, check voltage and see where you lose it at.

Unplug machine,enscrewedconsole silver box behind dial. Turned dial and pulled knob little silver button goes in and out don't know if that's the shaft. Little black plastic tab flush on silver box slides up and down.is that what you mean open and close.

Are contacts on back of panel I took off, or on machine itself,maytag model # lat9635aae will that help you.

The contacts are in the back side of the timer. You should see them open and close as the timer is advanced.

Turn dial to regular washer,rinse,spin,etc. I see nothing moving.what exactly are conacts.

They look like the set of points in older cars but there are several sets of them

I see nothing opening or closing maytag model # lat9635aae what else please help. Machine still unpluged while trying.

Do you have a volt meter and know how to use it?

No it just broke last month what else.

Need to see if you are getting power to the timer and the washing macine motor

How to see if I'm getting power without a voltage meter.

No way safely to check without meter

Thanks anyway I'll be talking to you later.by the way I'm a bears fan.

Bears fan. Well then, I'm sorry about the superbowl, but you all have won enough anyhow. It was our turn. LOL

esquire1 me tony how do I check to see if I have bad latch assemble switch on my washing machine.

How do I check to see if latch assemble switch is bag on my washing machine

Remove the cabinet and unplug the switch. If there is no continuity it is bad. You could put a jumper wire on it temp. to see if it works that way. If it does the switch is bad

What does the switch look like color how many wires location etc. remember no voltage meter.

It will be on back side of the lid and be approx. 3" long and could have 2-3 wire depending on model. With no meter you will just have to jumper it

You say back side of lid,do I have to take top of mach off,meanwhile console still out can see timer switch,is it close to that.

Depending on model you will have to remove the top or entire cabinet. If you raise the lid, look at back side of it. You can see the plunger end of switch but you cannot access it from the front

Model # LAT9635AAE,how to access it.

This sounds like a maytag?

Yes sir,1988 please help.

Ok near the bottom on the front are2 screws to remove. Then at the to of the front you will need to put in a putty knife on each side about 3" from end though release the spring clips. Then there should be 2 screws at front to remove and the lid should lift. Common on this unit that only fills and nothing else works is a bad pressure switch. If it doesn't close it stops the power. Also a bad lid switch will cause this on maytag. When you open the lide can you hear the lid switch open and close? These have an adjustment on them as well. Have you tried open and closing the lid when it fills to see if it will activate the agitation cycle?

Ican here lid switch click when open and close. Did not try to open when water is filling will it advance to agitate when water is filling or does it have to fill first.

Fill first. Try a small load cycle

Tried small load filled with water then nothing .put dial on rinse,spin nothing,still here click when opening & closing lid what else.

Test the lid switch and pressure switch. You should be able to jumper the lid switch but will need tester for pressure switch and timer

How to jump lid switch, and how to get to lid switch only see little button going in & out when opening lid please explain like I'm a dummy. And what kind of tester for pressure switch and timer, and can we check without tester.
