How to Replace the Motor Controller in a Maytag Neptune

If you’re agitated because your Maytag Neptune washer won’t agitate, you may need to replace the motor controller. A bad motor controller can cause a variety of problems with your washer. It may not spin or agitate, or it may do both at the wrong times. Either way, your clothes could end up a soapy, wet mess at the end of the wash cycle. Replace the motor controller in a Maytag Neptune and get your washer back up to speed.
