 there are 2 wiring blocks that connect the washer harness into the upper harness. this block is on the left and right side if i remember. make sure you dont have any loose wires at these connections.

 the bottom most connector is your JP4 connector.... with the unit on wash, pull that connector and it should rotate one direction approx 60 or so rpms

Thanks, once I get the unit back into enough of one piece that I can try to operate it once again, I will give this a shot.

If the motor doesn't begin to turn, would that indicate the motor control has failed?

 I'm a little confused about the whole motor and MCU conversion kit. After some point did these parts become standard in these units? Or did this kit come around only after these models had left the market? Is it at all possible for my unit to have already had the newer parts installed from the factory (if it is a newer built unit)?

 Thanks for the quick reply Reg! So since mine is from after the production change, if I do need to replace the motor and/or control, I should only need to put the two components in and not need to change any of the wiring that comes with the kit. Does that sounds right to you guys?

 Looking at the pictures of the control unit, it does not appear to be the same as the one I have. The connectors on Are very different between the parts you sent me photos of and the one that I have. You can see what mine look like in the photo on the first page.

 Thanks Tronicsmasta! Does it look like the one that I have in mine (see last post of first page)? It's just that I am seeing a few different setups in regard to the types of electrical connectors the MCUs are using. If it will match up, I will gladly take it!

 I wasn't able to do any work to the washer last night, but I did take a quick look at the serial number and found that my unit is a series 91. So apparently it is a very late build.

 From what I can tell poking around online parts stores, the MCU in my unit is a further revision beyond what is included in the conversion kit. I can only find a listing for a series 90 MCU. Does that mean that that MCU was used starting with series 90?

 TDL-0043A-B says the new mcu was installed on the mlg2000 series at series 62 and higher... so u should have the newer board that is encased in a hard plastic. the JP4 test still applies... with the unit in agitaion pull put the connector with the red blue yellow and white wires.... its a 5 pin connector... the basket should spin at 70 rpms or so... that will verify the mcu operation... if it doesnt spin and there is 120 volts on the black and white wires thedn that mcu is bad.... try that and get back to me.

 OK, so I got the machine back together enough to do some tests.

I pulled the JP4 connector and the motor turned at the 60-70 rpm speed you described. I also back-probed the black and white wires while it was operating at that speed and I found 120 volts.

 Did you down load the service manual ?  Did you do the troubleshooting on pages 3-6 and 3-7 ? I did  a mle 2000 about two months ago with the same symptoms as your unit..  I changed the control board ( one in the dryer, upper right corner ) no visable damage to the components on the board................ up and running.................. parts from repairclinic.com....

 Well, no luck. I put the board in and it still does not operate.

I am wondering if there is some internal restriction that is causing the water to fill too slowly..... or maybe something is causing the machine to think that it isn't filling properly.

The hoses checked OK before and it always seemed to fill fine, but I can't help but wondering....

Thoughts?

 if you put the machine in a drain/spin cycle will it finish? or is it only shutting down during periods where it should fill?
