I have a Maytag A9600 washer that has been acting up. Sometimes during a load the dial will continue to click round but the washer itself will stop doing anything useful. Sometimes this means that the drum is full of water and clothes, the dial continues to click round, but the drum doesn't move or spin out. For a time, even after a 'successful' load, it hadn't spun out completely, leaving clothes wet. We thought it was the belts, but we've replaced the belts, and that wasn't the problem. Any ideas? Timer? Motor?

It appears your timer has failed in this instance.

For replacement parts - head on over to PartSelect.com or RepairClinic.com and enter in your full model number for a full parts listing.
I recommend both sites because ...


FixYa has no affiliation with either site - I have been using and recommending them for years - trouble free.

PartSelect has a great schematic database for locating the part on your unit and great "testimonials" for each part that often times includes HOW-TO information.
RepairClinic has pictures of each part they sell and also a great how-to and troubleshooting for basic repairs.


If your unit has never been serviced - there should still be an original service manual enclosed in plastic taped to the inside of the shell.
In the service manual are Error codes, maintenance procedures, and troubleshooting steps you can follow.


Anything too complicated or beyond your scope should be handled by a professional.

If you think you want to tackle the repair - and have gotten stuck on a step - reply to your question and I will be glad to help you out.

Od code on my Maytag Front load Neptune Washer...Hi, could anyone please share more info on DIY fixes, I have tried everything under the Service mode and eventually did a Board Output Test also..

17 The door / cover switch has not been opened since the last two last revolutions. The door did not open after two complete washing cycles. The door switch has not been opened since the last two revolutions. Displays "od". If the door is open, the error disappears. Check the door lock probably bad.

Also you might need to reset it.
...
Press power/cancel then start/pause
  1. Press power/cancel first.
  2. Next, pick a fresh cycle to run.
  3. Press start/pause to reset your Maytag washer.
  4. Run a test load afterward to confirm that the washer has reset.
Best to you.

Washer dial clicks round, but washer stops doing anything useful

It appears your timer, itself, has failed in this instance.

INDESIT WI101

hiya
these machines will do this if the timer dial has been moved during a cycle, they have a memory chip on the main circuit board.

they also do this if the machine has a fault with the exception that they dont stop, the doorlock light flashes and the timer just keeps clicking.

try setting the timer to a dot on the settings then switching the power on, the doorlock light will flash a few times, turn off again select program then switch back on, machine should now be reset and work ok, if not then count the flashes of the doorlock light as this indicates a fault code.

hope this helps


please dont forget to rate the helpfulness of this reply thanks kj

My indesit washer/dryer model w10 ,is not working.the programme dial keeps cliking round wont start a programme or take in water.

probably a main module fault but worth while checking for continuity thro the heater and that the pump and filter are ok. the idea is that when a fault is detected, the dial will click round indicating a fault but usually it is the module itself. expensive part. not worth repair

Timer clicks arround and arround

My Belling integrated washing machine will not stop at the end of the cycle. My partner had accidently moved the dial during mid-cycle. We have tried to reset the machine by turning it off and then moving the dial around to the stop section of the dial. However when we turn it back on it waits for a while and then continues to click around with starting any cycle. Can anyone help? Thanks.
