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.
