I have a Maytag SE1000 series 06 sn#114073 VN. A while back the motor would chatter before going into the spin/drain cycle and we would smell hot electrical, after a few days or loads the machine stopped completely like the power was pulled. I replaced the Control Assembly (#15 on most part diagrams of “Front Panel & Control Group”) with a series 00 because I was not able to find a series 06 anyplace. The washer and dryer worked for about a month until the washer would not spin or drain. I replaced both belts (drive and pump), at that time I noticed that the motor would function if I pushed up on the pulley, I do not suggest this (it was by accident, I was desperate, got quite startled, and still have all fingers), with my wisdom I replaced my motor, once again with a series 00 because I could not find a series 06. I start the washer cycle and it fills up great, pauses as normal, and then agitates for 5-10 seconds stops and you can smell electrical. If I try to just use the spin cycle the motor works and pumps for 5-10 seconds stops and once again the electrical smell.
I have a manual that indicated the problem could be the motor reversing relay or the motor run relay. I have replaced both relays (waited for parts to ensure the wiring would be correct) and the situation is the same.
I have disconnected the drive belt and tried the spin cycle once more, and once again the motor worked for 5-10 seconds and then stopped. I have also tried to reset the panel by disconnecting the power for more than an hour with no change. This was suggested to me by a repairman.

What should I do, or replace or test now?
:confused:

I'm not sure if you mean the springs that are located on the motor mount slide? If so they are fine, and there are not any others that I am aware of. When the drive belt is off the only belt connected is the one to the pump, therefore it is only opperating the pump and it does that just fine for about 5-10 seconds.
I am also not sure of the incdent that you are refering to.

Please

The motor I replaced was part # 4 on the "Motor and Pump Assembly" PDF. The springs I am refering to are located on part #13 same PDF. As to the incident I was just moving my hand under the machine to see if there was an obstructionor something and the back of my hand touched the pulley it started I got startled pulling my hand out. the motor moved about a 1/8" vertical. I don't believe that I should try to hold the motor up that 1/8" a friend of ours has the same unit and his motor also moves vertically (when stopped) 1/8"

That part came with the motor (I think)

When it starts to spin it pumps out just fantastic. So it must be a bad pump, I guess.
