Have a Maytag washer LAT9635AAE. It fills with water and does not proceed. The timer seems to move the dial around but doesn't engage the washing functions. At first I thought it was simply not draining, and set it to drain, and it would drain. Now that won't work either. I found that I can only get the gentle cycle to complete functions. When selecting all others, the dial just moves around without engaging wash/rinse/drain/spin functions. What is the problem? Can this be self repaired? How to repair?

You have a problem with the contacts in the timer and it will need to be replaced. Here is the part to order. To replace the timer remove the cover on the back of the console.




The part comes with a 365 day, any part, any reason return policy.

see this causes and fix it. God bless you
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.

There is still water in the machine , the pressure sensor my not be operating there is a loose contact in the motor spin winding or the timer no supply voltage is going to the motor check the votlage at the motor at spin cycle

If you can manually advance it and it works then yes the timer will be the cause of the issue.

We have the same problem. The Normal cycle still works, but after the final spin cycle, water is again added (1 gal est.) and the machine stops. Problem occurred after washing an old 25 x 30 inch rug which partially disentegrated when washed. We were seeing particles of the rug in subsequent wash cycles during drain into laundry tub. Don't know if something is plugged in the washer or if it is something else. In another load after the rug wash, the top of the washer was lifted during the wash cycle. The water problem occurred immediately after lifting the lid as the wash load went through remaining cycles. Maybe this affected the timer? Maytag customer service suggested unplugging power cord to re-set timer. This didn't make any difference. We need a technician to tell us if this is a timer problem or something else?

It is your timer. Try manually move the timer forward after it fills.

you need to replace the water level switch

Sounds like a bad timer motor.
Try watching the timer motor and see if you can see it moving .

yes this sounds like a timer it sounds like it is getting stuck in the cycle. replace the timer and this will clear up the problem

check your door switch. Many times a faulty door switch can prevent the spin cycle. When you locate the door switch, take a jumper wire across the connection and advance the timer to spin. If it spins with the jumper wire, you will need a new door switch.
