I drained the washer, which made a few clicks but would not pump out. I removed the pump, no obstructions. I did the Drain/Spin momentarily to check the pump impeller, but it did not turn. While testing the Drain/ Spin, the tub spun, just not the pump. I also think it may be the pump. Do you have the tech sheet for it? There wasn't one in my unit, as I looked. I need it for the diagnostic and reset procedures. So, you were thinking it could be the pump. What are the symptoms of an actuator or a capacitor goes bad? By the way, I looked up parts on the "Repair Clinic" and my Maytag comes up as an Admiral. The Pump comes up as an Admiral pump also. Is that normal? The LED light cycles through the washer spin, wash, etc, settings consecutively after all the tests I ran.
Replace your drain pump. If you verify that there is no obstruction and you put it in drain and spin and the pump is not turning. You either have a bad pump , broken wire or a bad board. Did you check for voltage? (120 a/c ) your washer is a Whirlpool made. They are just badged differently. Check for voltage before replacing. You can also run the pump out of the washer. You don’t need to reset or calibrate. Just unplug it for 5 minutes. The system will operate correctly once the circuit is connected/completed. The shifter has nothing to do with drain. It monitors the drum, puts the washer into spin/wash. 99.9 you have a bad pump. The capacitor is for helping the motor
