- got a maytag front loader. goes through the program ok unitl 9mins remaining when the program sticks. The display shows rinse/spin. Water still in the tub but no action at all. Tub doesnt turn and pump not running. pump works during wash/rinse cycle and intermediate spin during rinses works. Stripped pump down and verything clear.

- Thanks guys for the help. I'm going to have a look at the MCU first. For info, The door wont open and need to switch the power off and let the WAXmotor release before i can open the door. the tub is still full of water and the pump doesn't even try to run.

the machine in question is a coin op version so i'll be able to swap the MCU with the machine next to it to see if the fault transfers over.

By the way, I dont really do Maytags, whirlpool etc. mainly do larger, IPSO, primus and specialise in Drycleaners so if you need any help in that area, let me know.

Sounds like a communication error, there is a ccu on top and a mcu on the bottom, basically a computer and a motor control unit. When there is a problem of this nature I would replace the mcu. I have seen a increase in this problem. This unit is built by Whirlpool and is the same as the duet and kenmore he3.

is it possible to open the door while the machine stays at rest? if so it could be one of your crease guard or rinse hold options selected. (normally in a button cluster on the front panel. deselect and try again.

Check your carbon brushes, on agitate the machine does not need a lot of contact with brushes, but underload (i.e rinse /spin) contact is vital.
Check them for wear
