    Maytag washer, few years old, nice unit so far. I notice every so often doesn't spin out final rinse, the extra rinse cycle I mean you have to select. Mess with it and it goes, anyone see this before, don't tell me it's the tranny, I have changed them before, matter of fact on old Whirlpool washer I did it twice cause they sold me the wrong one, that was fun.

    Call a pro to fix it, don't be a DIY.
    Better yet hire a chinese laundry.

    I used to work on those and it sounds like the timer to me.
    Make sure the drain hose enters the drain pipe at a level higher than 36 inches from the floor AND that air can enter the drain pipe, otherwise it can siphon out intermittently...

    Wait for the convention and make it hands on trouble shooting project after the three minute super heat lecture. This will all take place Saturday morning at 8:00 A.M. sharp after the Friday night social. I'm sure all minds would be nice and clear at this time to give you true customer satisfaction.

    Having my new washer worked on right now. Frigidaire stack unit. Combined price for washer and dryer was 1400 dollars. Wouldn't go into final spin. The electronic speed control wasn't receiving a the feedback signal from the variable speed motor and transmitting it to the electronic timer. All three components are matched so all three have to be changed as a set. Unit has one year parts and labor. Bought it last July 24. Usally my luck runs the other way. I think I'll purchase the extended warrenty offered.

    You guys are about as funny as a fart in a spacesuit, and just as helpful too. I just leave the extra spin sw off and it works. I will fix it myself someday, if I have to change every part to do so.

    Does it stop at the point of spin or does it advance to the timer off possition when it acts up?

    Need a little more info, what's the model #? Is the extra rinse switch one of the rotary type or is this touch pad? How old? Will most likely NOT be the timer. DEFINETELY IS NOT the tranny. The most common problem those washer have is if they are rotary type switch, switch is going bad, contacts inside are corroded and just replace switch, if it is the touch pad same thing, just more expensive.

    Oh and one more thing. Maybe it's one of the newer all electronic circuit board timer, switching, double looped feedback circuit full rinse partial soap with humidity sensitivity control.

    If so, unplug the thing, and remove all the wires and the circuit board and soak the circuit board in a mixture of distilled vinegar and one part Jack Daniels. It always works for me.

    BTW, what color is it?
