Product review (5 stars): Just What Our LAT8705AAE Maytag Washer Needed!
Exact part I needed. Part was easy to install. So far so good.

Note the symptoms beforehand on our 23 year old LAT8705AAE Maytag Washer was that the timer would rotate automatically, but that the cycles within the timed area would not function properly (agitation, spin and drain would not work - fill portion would function however) in Normal and Permanent Press settings yet ALL the functions would operate in the Delicates setting. Keep in mind, the timer is a combination timer and a multitude of contacts that are turned off and on by a set of cams. I sprayed contact cleaner on the old timer unit, but it did not help.

The new one was very easy to install. Put it in, turned it on, and ran through ALL cycle settings (doing short washes). Since then, we have done a number of loads and everything seems good so far. If everything goes as expected, we hope to continue using this washer for a number of years further.

By the way, Whirlpool bought out Maytag a number of years ago. Hence the Whirlpool Part Number for the Maytag Washer.
