I am having an intermittent stoppage of my Maytag MAH3000AWW, Ser # 18111546SW (Series 18, I think), just prior to the rinse cycle, still full of wash water. It happens in both the standard wash and delay mode. Water appears to be flowing into the machine normally (visually and touch verified at detergent fill). Bleach wax motor operational. Door wax motor working fine (replaced a few years ago, w/R11), Door Locked LED on. Machine stops, alll lights out. Press Start/Stop and will complete cycle. Most likey guess is Machine Control Board, but it is expensive.
Any ideas to confirm/diagnose?
Thanks!

Thanks! One of possible causes described in the Service bulletin. Follow the instructions from it and check everything. The above ling does not work anymore. The service bulletin is attached to the reply. Gene.

Thanks for the Tech Bulletin. I'll check out the neutral connection and see if that helps!

Gene, you helped me before with my dishwasher. Can't thank you enough. Can you help with a Maytag Neptune front load washer. Sounds like the drum spin bearing is worn out making an awful noise. Any remove and replace advice. Your the best. Mike

Hi Mike,
Thank you for your good words. What is the complete model number of the washer?
Gene.

I checked out the wiring of the neutral line at tthe water valve. It looks OK. I pulled and reseated and will wait for the next few loads to see if any change. Will keep you postted. Try NEPTUNE BEARING REPLACEMENT & TONY TOOL RENTAL for bearing help...

I READ YOUR REPLY TO (jkoval) AND HAVE SOME FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS : (1) HOW DO YOU GET ACCESS TO THE SOLENOID, SINCE THE SCREW HOLDING IT, IS ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE BRACKET? ( BRACKET MAY BE THE INCORRECT NAME FOR THE PART THAT HOLDS THE SOLENOIDS) (2) IT LOOKS LIKE, IF I COULD SLIDE OR REMOVE THE "TOP" OF THE WASHER, I MIGHT HAVE BETTER ACCESS TO THE SOLENOID. IS THIS TRUE ? IF SO. WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO; TO SLIDE OR MOVE IT ? (3) THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP...nicmalou

(3) THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP...nicmalou It can be removed from the back of the washer as well as from the front. 1/ Rear removal: Shut off the water to the inlet hoses and remove the hoses from the water valve connections of the washer.
Remove the two ¼" hex head screws securing the water valve bracket to the cabinet.
While pulling the lower end of the bracket down slightly, slide the bracket to the left. This will allow the injector hose to clear the rear cabinet opening.
While pulling the bracket away from the cabinet, rotate the left side of the bracket away from the washer.
2/ Front removal:
Remove the front panel.
Remove dispenser bezel and raise the top cover to expose the upper rear cabinet area.
I would prefer the rear removal.
Gene.
