Major Appliances - Kitchenaid superba won't go into high speed spin cycle
Expert: Eric Campion - 11/4/2009
Question
Kitchenaid superba washer, Model kaws850jq4 seir. cm0907050. The unit will spin at the end of the rinse cycle( slow spin) to empty the water, but when it goes into regular spin(high speed spin) the motor switch jumps in and out with a clicking noise and the relays spark.The motor switch has a white arm that manually engages the high speed spin relays, its actuated by a centrifugal hub on the motor shaft that the lever rides on, the hub doesn't seem to extend far enough to reach the lever, if I push the arm in with a screw driver and hold it there the spin cycle works fine. PS I checked the timer its okay. The machine has an extra spin cycle that works fine, but it's a low speed spin cycle. Do you think I need a new motor switch or motor or what do you think?
Thanks
Rex
