Default need speed switch - they don't list my model washer - will another speed switch work?
Model Number: NC6544A80   Brand: Admiral   Age: More than 10 years   

Appliance Parts from AppliancePartPros.com
My model washer -- Admiral LNC6544A80, a top loader from (I think) 1993 or so -- needs a new wash/spin speed switch (the stem broke). HOWEVER: my model is not listed in this website's model number list. Another parts site I'd used before, who said they sold my model's parts, told me, after initially saying the part was a "special order", AND after taking my money, that the part was "no longer available"!

So then I tried appliancepartspros.com, and they didn't list my exact model washer -- although they did list a number of other models close in model number. One of them -- LNC6766B71 - is very close indeed, and when I asked one of their customer service reps if the speed switch for that model (part #AP4024968) would work in MY model, I was told that "although very likely" he couldn't "absolutely guarantee it will be compatible" with my model.

He sent pictures of the switch, which look very similar -- but the back of theirs is metal, while mine is black plastic. Size and shape look the same though. Some of the numbering on mine matches theirs (the amperage/voltage, I think), but some other numbers did not match. The main thing, I think, is: what wash/spin speeds does the AP4024968 speed switch do? And how many wires attach to the back of it? This info is not listed with the part when you click on it. If I can find these things out, I can make an informed choice whether to take a chance and order the part. I'm guessing if the speeds and wire terminals are the same, the part will work. At least, I'd buy it and give it a chance.

Any help at all GREATLY appreciated!

Thank you,

Chris

I cannot get your model number to come up on any parts site, or on the Maytag site or on any of the Maytag tech documents that relate to LNC models.

I think your options are to live with the setting that you have (I am assuming the machine works, that you just cannot move the spin speed selection, which, quite frankly should not make a whole lot of difference in your washing) or to order the switch and look at it and see if you think it is compatible.
