Question about Maytag PAV3240A Top Load Washer

1 Answer

Fills with water and stops I do not hear timer clicking

Your help would be greatly appreciated. This has happened before. The tub fills and then stops. I believe it is a overload problem and the machine automatically turns off. I had it taken out and repaired beofre. They said it was a rtest button that needed to be reset - that's all. But $75 later... If you could tell me where the reset button is located I can do it myself and save on money and hassle. I have to miss work to be there for pick up and delivery. there is a re set portion of the load size on the front of machine -- but that is not the reset button the repairman talked about thank you in advance for your help

Your repairman was pulling your leg. There is no "reset" switch on these. The lid switch is bad. You know how, when it is washing clothes, you can lift the lid and the machine shuts down? That's the lid switch doing that. Now, you lid switch is failed, so the machine thinks the lid is open. Replace the switch and all is well in the world. The part number is #12001187 and lists for ~$14.00. Can be purchased at your local appliance parts store.

Frigidaire (LTF2940E) Washer starts, stops, starts, stops...
The cycle doesn't advance When the cycle doesn't advance, it's probably the timer or a cold-water supply problem:

  • It's the timer, if your washing machine fills with water and begins agitating, but the timer never advances--or if the washer is in a spin cycle and the timer won't advance. Then you need to replace the timer.


  • It may be a cold-water supply problem, if the washing machine fills with water, agitates, drains, and spins, but then doesn't fill with rinse water. See There's no cold water.

Oh Mr. Guru,please help!
for the second problem wher the water runs and never reaches level, check to make sure the drain hose is higher than the water level. if you allow the drain hose to come out of the machine and lay right on the floor with out first coming up above the height of the tub, the water will run out as fast as it comes in. hope this helps, let me know

Kenmore 22956 top loader quit running after agite cycle
If the timer cycles your lid switch is ok.
most likely: motor Switch (on Motor), condenser next to motor, motor itself, or wiring going from the time to the switch,

It is probably cost efficient to replace the unit rather than trowing parts at it .

Washer continues to work even if water is not filled to top and even if i try to stop continues to spin
A defective pressure switch can interfere with the cycles that depend upon the switch to indicate when water has filled or emptied from the tub. It can also result in underfilling or overfilling of the tub. The switch routes current from the timer control to the temperature switch and the water inlet valve when the tub needs to be filled. Once full, the pressure switch cuts the current and reroutes it to the motor on the timer control to continue the cycle.

My washer sometimes ends up with a couple inches of water in the tub a day after last used. Also, at times water leaks on the floor. Neither of these things happen consistently. A day after I last used my washer I will notice a couple inches of water in the tub. I sometimes also have water on the floor from under the washer. The inside of the back of the washer is also wet. This does not happen regularly. I can do 5 loads and there may be a little dripping from the top of the inside of the tub and no great accumulation. The water on the floor also does not happen regularly.

On the spin cycle the machine shakes because it is out of balance. I change the load and it works until the next spin cycle. The machine m/n PAV3240AWW & the s/n is 19175215CG. Do you have any ideas what is wrong?

My top load Maytag is dripping water after the whole cycle completes. I removed the inlet valve, directly hooked up the hose to each bib on the valve, turned the water shutoff on and nothing leaked(turned valve upside down). Reinstalled it and it still leaks. Even after I turn the water shutoff valves off. Had the hoses removed overnight and there wasn't any leakage with the valves off. Should I just assume the inlet valve is flaky and needs replacement??
