I would say yes, just remember that replacement washing machines are getting really expensive. First, get a couple of quotes on repairing your Maytag washing machine. Ok, what does Lr. mean?
Maybe I could save you some money, that is if you are mechanical inclinded. GB...stewbison.

Hi.

Error LR means Locked Rotor.

Either the motor is faulty, there is a wiring problem, or the control assembly is faulty.

Try tripping the circuit breaker to reset the machine, if code comes back a technician must have a look at the motor.

hope this helps ya http://fixitnow.com/wp/2009/03/11/maytag-neptune-front-loading-washer-motor-wont-spin-and-lr-error-code/

Hello there
The LR error on your non-spinning Maytag Neptune is usually, though not always, accompanied either by a burn spot or a blown fuse on the Motor Control Board.

Blown Fuse on a Maytag Neptune Washer Motor Control Board (click to enlarge) Either way, it means just one thang: a new motor and motor control board kit are in your future.

L means "Lid or Door Lock" problem
r probably means 'release' I couldn't find it anywhere... so I'd guess that Lr means the machine did not detect that the Lid Lock released and cycle end (which means either the sensor is bad or the Lid Lock dosen't lock the Lid).

Either way, something with the Lid Lock system ais not right. Be glad it releases ;-)

LR usually means that the the signal from the board is not getting to the motor either because of a bad connection at either the motor or the board or the motor itself is no good. Need to check the connections first.

Motor & motor control board...........machine should have been re-called

Lr means locked rotor basically you have serious problems i would call a service tech for this.
