Maytag washer fills, sits and at the very end of timer, spins and empties the washer. It did agitate once but stll skipped a few cycles.
The timer motor is working and advancing. I'm assuming that it's ok. How can I check the drive motor and can it still be the motor even though it does spin at the end? Thanks.

Although this service manual does not list your model number, it should be good for your model. It will show you how to check the motor, but since it spins I think the problem is in the timer. See if the motor will run with the belt off when it is supposed to agitate. If not, think about replacing the timer. http://www.servicematters.com/m...6010373%20(16001145).pdf

Thanks Sidfink43. I checked the motor as the print you sent showed and it's ok. I had assumed the timer was good as the timer motor worked and a continuity test showed ok, or so I thought. I'll buy a timer Monday. Thanks again.

I ordered the timer online today from AppliancePartsPros so I'll let you know as soon as I get it up and running. Thanks again.

I also have had the same problem with mine I am interested in the print. Originally Posted by: kovachjc  Maytag washer fills, sits and at the very end of timer, spins and empties the washer. It did agitate once but stll skipped a few cycles.

The print is in the manual at the blue link in the first reply.

The timer came today and I installed it. As soon as I plugged the washer in it blew the fuse in the main panel. The timer looked the same other than it uses a different knob. I reinstalled the old timer to see if the fuse would blow again but it didn't. Upon examination I see that the timer motors and the connection for the harness are wired differently. The old timer is #M-520 and the new is #M-520-3. Hopefully ApplianceParts Pros will exchange it.

Well, sorry that happened.
We are not part of APP but my experience is that they are a very good company and I feel certain they will get you the right part.
There are a lot of variations in your model, so be sure and give them your serial number when you re-order/return so they can get it right.

The customer service lady checked both my model and serial numbers and said it should be the correct timer. Besides the shaft where the knob goes being different and the internal wiring and the #3 added, it also is marked Magic Chef instead of Maytag. I realize that they are all one now but somebody made a change somehow. She's supposed to email me back after talking to the research people.
