![]() Model Number: LAT9406AAE Brand: Maytag Age: 5 - 10 years
![]() Maytag washer quit spinning or agitating this morning. The motor will "hum" when either are engaged. So I took the front panel off and drained the water and removed the cloths. When I now engage the spin cycle the basket will begin to spin for about 5 secs. A click can be heard (sounds like a breaker) and the unit will cut off. There is a slight smell of rubber/electrical that follows. After a minute or so you hear another click and the process can be repeated if wanted. I appreciate any advice. Thank you.

![]() Hi,
See if you can turn the pump pulley easily by hand. Maybe something is stuck in the pump.

![]() Both belts move easily in both directions. Do not know if it should or not but motor pulley will not turn by hand. With spin cycle engaged, motor hums, after a few seconds "breaker" kicks motor off, I see a small amount of smoke off top of motor. If left on it will reset itself after maybe a minute and repeat. Is the motor seized up by chance? Thanks!

![]() Gave it another look. I took the pump belt off so I could get my hands on the motor pulley easier. It was pretty stiff at first but began to turn freely after a few tries. I put the washer in the spin cycle empty and it worked fine. I then put it into a small wash cycle w/o cloths, fine again. So added the cloths back from earlier & put it on a large load and let it go. It has now made its way to the spin cycle with no issue. So, I have no idea if I have an issue on the horizon or what??? But right now it is working.
