Maytag LAT2914 Washer Repair Service

Most common issues on this model

Washer that agitates but spins slowly
Water drained slowly or noisily
Timer dial that will not advance
Belt smell or smoke from the motor area
Lid switch not recognizing a closed lid

LAT2914 is a Maytag top-load washer series; LAT2914AAE is listed as one version. This is an older washer type with an agitator and transmission, a drive belt, a serviceable pump and a mechanical timer.

Slow spinning on a washer of this type often traces to a slipping belt, a worn clutch or a transmission that has lost its grip. We open the cabinet and check these by hand before looking at the motor. Slow draining sends us to the pump and the drain line. Because the controls are mechanical, we also test the timer and selector switches with a meter rather than assuming a board.

You will hear from us if the washer has reached the point where replacement is the better value. Either way, the model and serial from the plate guide every part we order, and the quote is written before the work. Labor carries a 30-day guarantee.

LAT2914LAT2914 questions

My LAT2914 agitates but barely spins. What fails?

On this type a slipping belt, a worn clutch or a weak transmission is more likely than the motor. We inspect the belt and clutch by hand and listen to the transmission before recommending a part.

Why will the timer dial on my washer not advance?

The timer motor may be dead, or a contact may be burnt. We test the timer with a meter to tell which, since a contact repair costs less than a replacement.

Does LAT2914AAE need different parts than LAT2914?

They share a base number, so many parts will match. The ending can still mark a revision, so we read the plate before ordering a belt, pump or timer.
