Unbalance washer won't start, schematic attached

I have a commercial Maytag coin operated washer that will not work. The “unbalance load” light is on and when I drop quarters into the mechanism I don’t even hear the timer running. I have attached a schematic and circled (in red) where the Unbalanced Load light is. There doesn’t appear to be any “unbalance” switch. I was told you can reset the unbalance condition by opening and closing the lid; I’ve done this but still the problem persists. Any thoughts? Thanks

Mike, I think we are having the same problem as you. Did you ever get a reply or did you get the problem fixed? If you could let us know, we would appreciate it.

As I recall it turned out that I needed a new timer assembly for the washing machine. I installed it and everything has worked fine since. Good luck, hope this helps.

Thanks, we will give that a try. We keep replacing parts to no avail.
