My maytag neptune washer will only fill for about 5 seconds then stops, whats wrong?

Question

it is an older model with the solid door . It isn't a slow fill everytime you push the button it fills for 5 seconds or to drain it only runs for 5 seconds.

Answer 1

Check your cold water inlet screen- slow fill will cause shut down in rinse

maytag technical bulletin date april 2004 #tdl-0044b washer stops in mid cycle and or flashes code

the motor drive system experienced a momentary loss of neutral feed from the power cord to the motor control board. the neutral line for the motor control board passes across the water valve solenoids. neutral to the motor drive system can be momentarily lost if there is poor crimping of any of the wire terminals in this circuit.. this situation could result in a misdiagnosis and unnecessary replacement of the motor or motor control board.

current neptune front load washers will indicate a false locked rotor signal to the machine control board. washers with led display will flash code LR in the display. LCD washers will display locked rotor. THE EARLIER BUILD front loaders will not display a code,but simply shut down in mid-cycle or will not start

pull each terminal of the white wire harness connected to each water valve solenoid and verify the wire is properly stripped and crimped to the metal terminal connector of the wire harness. make sure the wires fit snug on the terminals of the water valve solenoids.
