Maytag 2000 Series Washer not spinning on Normal cycle
My washer barely spins on the Spin cycle of the Normal wash. However, if after Normal completes I run it on the Drain/Spin cycle only it spins just fine. Not receiving any error messages and I replaced the drain pump.
To clarify the problem:
When the washer runs Normal or Rapid Wash, once the light indicates it has begun the spin cycle, it spins a little bit and then the drain pump engages again and at that point the drain keeps going, it never spins again and eventually the cycle stops and door lock opens. The clothes are of course wet. I can then turn the dail to the Rinse/Drain/Spin cycle and deselect the Rinse. On this cycle it runs the spin cycle perfectly. Spins, drains, spins some more for a couple times ending in a very high spin and appropriately dry clothes.
Final Resolution, leaving this here for others:
Spoke with a longtime Maytag repairman who said maybe 1 in 10 machines of this model or similar had this problem. One that he attempted to repair during first year of operation, he replaced the main control board, the motor with its mcu, and the wire harness and the problem still occurred.
May happen less by running larger laods

Hi @aneil39813,
What is the model number of the washer?

How can I set the water level? I don’t see a setting for that. There is Soil Level but that seems to lengthen or shorten the cycle. Does it also change the amount of water?
I have checked most of the LF procedures. I still have to try to find my continuity tester.
