Maytag Washer - Not Completing Spin Cycle

Model: MVW4505MW2

Location: Fort Myers, FL 33912

Repair Summary

Checked washer for not completing the spin cycle. Ran diagnostics and found an F0E3 overload error and F7E1 error indicating the washer was not detecting the tub changing gear. The unit is installed outside in a small shed and is exposed to Florida weather. Found coins lodged around the agitator and explained to the customer that foreign objects can interfere with tub movement and potentially damage the gearcase and bearings. Initially determined the unit may require a cam, actuator, and potentially a complete tub job. Replaced the suspension assemblies; however, during diagnostics, the tub did not move and the overload error returned, indicating the actuator, cam, or gearcase was binding. Replaced the actuator and cam clutch assembly and retested. The washer began operating properly again. Advised the customer that if additional problems occur, especially continued off-balance or tub movement issues, a complete tub job may be required.
