Maytag top load washer. Model LAT6914AAL Washer fills with water fine; timer knob continues as it should until the end, but it doesn't agitage or spin and empty. Will spin and empty if you manually turn knob to another cycle, but not every time.

Sounds like water valve is bad.

check your lid switch.
your may also have to replace the timer

Hi,

This problem is caused by a faulty water level switch.

It is a diaphragm like device with a small clear plastic tube attached between the switch and the bottom of the washer's outer tub.
As the water level increases, pressure increases on the air in the tube. When the pressure reaches a certain level, it activates the switch to turn off the water and signals the timer to start the agitate cycle.
Look for any obstruction or defect in the tube. The switch can be checked for continuity with a multimeter. If it has no continuity the switch is defective..

Please leave me comment, if you need further assistance

you need to replace the water level switch

Bad timer. Replace it.

Replace the timer.

I HAVE AN ATLANTIS MAYTAG WASHER . I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND I SOLVED AS FOLOLWS. REMOVED THE MOTOR, I APPLIED GENERAL PURPOSE GREASE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE SLIDING MOTOR SURFACE PLATE (MOTOR BASE) . THE GRASE HELPS THE MOTOR TO SLIDE BECAUSE AS YOU KNOW THE MOTOR DOES NOT HAVE ANY ADJUSTMENT. TRY IT PLEASE . GOOD LUCK

sounds like you have a blown fuse. I dont have a schematic so I dont kno where you have to look to find it

with the timer in the wash position on any cycle do you have 120 volts on the selenoids that the water hoses are connected to with the temp selector set for warm wash and timer knob pulled out? if you do then the water inlet valve is the issue, if no voltage you could have gotten a defective timer

replace water inlet solenoid first if this doesnt work replace timer
