Maytag washer I have a Maytag, stackable washer and dryer. Model LSE7800ACW. Serial no. A5128597. The problem that I am having is with the washing machine. Several months ago the agitator started working long before the tub was filled with water. I have a laundry sink so I filled the tub with a garden hose but still had to keep a close watch because it would not turn off at the end of the cycle leading in to the machine trying to agitate again with no water in it. Being my busy time of year I put up with this problem bye by passing the safety switch and filling the tub by hand. After a few weeks the problem corrected itself and it worked fine for the last several weeks. Of course all good things come to an end, I am having the same problems again. I have checked the screens in the hoses and have plenty of water getting to the machine. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

Thank you for trying to help me out. My problem also started when the power went out while the tub was filling. I don’t find a fuse but I also don’t think that is the problem. The tub wants to fill, but the agitator runs when it shouldn’t. Now instead of turning the machine of and filling with a hose I unplug the motor wire from the “run relay” until the tub is full. By looking at the schematic I think that my problem is either the pressure switch (but the water turns off when full), the run relay (but the relay is not constantly on) or the motor interrupter which I am not sure what it is but I think it might be in the timer itself, also the timer does not shut off between cycles causing the machine to never shut off by itself.

Thank you again, Flyponder

I found the problem to be the run relay switch was stuck in the on position. Thank everybody for trying to help.
