Hi
We inherited a Maytag neptune about a year ago when we bought a house. Whenn we moved in the water did not drain sometimes so the repair guy replaced the motor.
Then about a month ago it woudl stop about 5 min into the cycle. Sometimes it restarted, sometimes not. Took forever to complete a load this way. My husband replaced the starter button. It worked for one laod then stopped halfway. What is weird is if you hold the button down, it works - but who wants to stadn around and hold the button down to wash a load of clothes. I did do this to make it spin so I could get the towels out. Next my husband replaced the timer (time motor maybe). AGain it washed a load then said kerplat about 10 min in. I can still hold the button down and it comes on but upon release....nada. We estimate it to be 9-11 years old but who knows. So I am hoping someone can tell me if there is anything else we can do or if this thing needs to go to the appliance graveyard. I know without actually seeing the machine it is hard but would love some best guesses and advise if possible.
Thanks!
