My washer locks at the start of my wash cycle but partway through the wash cycle it flashes on/off or powers on/off and displays F5 for a second but then powers on/off continuously until I open the lid. I have unplugged it for 5 mins or so to reset it, but it does the same issue over again. I haven't done any troubleshooting or tested anything with my DMM. What is the common cause for the power on/off cycle with no subcode please?
For model number WTW8040DW4
Hi Randall, thanks for the great question. We would recommend checking the following parts to fix your issue: the Lid Lock Assembly (FIX11722981), the Bezel for the lid lock (FIX12578748) and the Bumper on the lid (FIX12731224). It seems like your washer is not cycling and is giving a F5 error because it is not locking properly to be able to advance to spin. If you need assistance placing an order for these parts, please contact Customer Service. Good luck with your repair!

4.) using your Maytag specific spaner nut wrench, remove the spaner nut from the shaft of the gear case. This should be right underneath where the wash plate was. If you can't turn it by hand , use a rubber mallet or hammer to encourage it.
5.) some people remove the wash basket at this point. I don't think it is necessary.
6.) close your washing machine. Tape the top closed to keep it from flying open. Tilt your washer back and prop it up where you have access to the underside of the washing machine.
7) remove motor rotor bolt and pull rotor off of the motor.
8.) disconnect the two wire connectors that supply power to motor. using a socket, remove bolts that are keeping motor attached to the gear case.
9.) Now that the gear case is all the is remaining on the underside, you can remove the 4 bolts that are holding the gear case to the washer. Now try to pull gear case out.
10.) if gearcase will not pull out, lower washer back to upright position. Spray penetrating oil or wd40 around the shaft of the gearcase and allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes. Using a hammer, lightly tap on the shaft of the gearcase and it should now fall out. ( you might have to apply penetrating oil again, or apply more force with the hammer.

This product comes in a bottle with a brush like Liquid Paper. It goes on incredibly easy. A second coat might be needed. I wanted to prevent rust from setting in so I covered the scratches and dings. The paint is a little brighter since my washer is 10 years old but it still looks great.
