What Maytag Says to Check First
- Washer not draining or not spinning. Maytag says to confirm the lid or door is fully shut and the load is balanced, then check for oversudsing, a kinked or clogged drain hose, standpipe height and, on some front loaders, a clogged drain pump filter.

- Washer not filling. Maytag says to make sure both faucets are fully open, the inlet hoses are not kinked, and the inlet screens on the water valve are not clogged. Source: Maytag Product Help - Checking the Fill Hoses if the Washer is not Filling
