Sometime resistor are a bit under valued and can burn up. Dont worry about your door lock. remember Lr stands for locked rotor.????? check the winding on your motor and never over look the pump. Have a visual inside the pump for blockage look for any shorts on your washing machine. I was told they have a ten year warranty on the motor. I always test all the conponents on a w/machine before I test it. lookup this site to see if your maytag is still under warranty???? maytag.com

See this post for troubleshooting the Lr error code. . http://www.fixya.com/support/t2419091-maytag_neptune_top_load_fav6800aww_tub

Lr is locked rotor. My first thought was that this could be a Motor Controller issue. This owner replaced tried that and it did not resolve the issue. He then replaced the main Control Board and that fixed his machine. Without known good parts (Control Board Motor Controller) this might be difficult for a DIY fix.

The Service Manual for reference. Sears Parts Direct for reference.

If you are going to try to DIY the repair I will see if I can help……Rich

Error code Lr

LR usually means that the the signal from the control circuit board is not getting to the motor either because of a bad connection at either the motor or the board or the motor itself is no good. Need to check the connections first, if they are ok replace the CCU (central control unit) board, this is the board behind the touch controls.

What does error code Lr mean and how do I fix it?

says:

just an FYI to anyone who might need to know. my neptune started kicking up an error of LR and stopping. i ended up sending an email to maytag and got a response back from one of their techs. the LR code means "Locked Rotor". when this happens the cause is one of two items. 1) the circuit board at the top of the unit has lost connection to the motor and its control board at the bottom (connector loose) or 2) the motor and or control board at the bottom have trashed and need to be replaced (P/N 12002039).

hope the info helps someone as i had a heck of a time finding it.

Maytag Neptune

Check out the motor control board near the floor on the right side. These have a high failure rate on the Neptunes. Maytag redesigned both the motor and motor control board to be more reliable. While inspecting this board, you are looking for a blown 10 amp fuse and /or burnt components. If you have either... then you will need the the new motor conversion kit which includes the motor, motor control board and the wire harness.

See www.neptunewaxmotor.com for disassembly photos and other Neptune information.
