Washer still stops spinning at 7 minutes after clutch cleaning
I have a Maytag top load washer model number FAV6800AWW that stopps spinning at 7 minutes. I have used the site before and I am aware of the clutch issue and I have cleaned and lubed it and it appears to be working fine. Is there another issue going on or the clutch still be bad?

When you did your Clutch Maintenance how much rust was present on the One-Way Roller Clutches, the Spinner Shaft Coupler did you series use upper One-Way Roller Clutches bearing ring?
How long ago was the Clutch maintenance performed
Any error codes with the ""stopps spinning at 7 minutes""?
What is the Series number of your FAV6800A?
Did you ues this Clutch Fix post to clean up and check that the One-Way Roller clutches are locking up solid in the CCW/Spin direction for both the Clutch Pulley mounted One-Way Roller Clutches if you series machine uses the Upper Bearing Ring?
If so then I would take that same wash load and run Quick Spin Test page 14 of the Service Manual. You may have to center the wash basket load (balance) before you start the test.
Will the machine step thru the all the RPM rages from 90 RPM to 85. which = 850RPM.
If not try the same test with out the load.

Bruce,
Do you think you have the plug for the pressure switch seated properly on top of the drain pump?
I would go to page 16 of the Service Manual and see what readings you get for an empty tub.
You have a Series 16 machine your pressure switch is two level sensing.
See if the Pressure Switch is signaling correctly to the control board it should read a -0 as the table shows on page 16 when tub empty. It will go to -1 when the correct water level is reached as sensed by the pressure switch.
I would also try to shut the drain pump off in service mode just to make sure the Control Board is not an issue. I don’t think it is but give it a try…… see the bottom of page 16 to turn on and off the drain pump in Service Mode………..Rich
Thanks Rich,
I will try this when I get back to the machine. I spend most of my summer living at camp so I don't always get to my computer daily and only go home once in awhile.
I will let you know.
I did check and recheck connections and hey are ok. I will run the tests next.
