What Makes Maytag Washer Repairs Different
Top load HE models use auto-sensing, spinning slowly to estimate the load before adding water in stages, so the water level can look lower than owners expect. Source: Maytag Product Help - Auto Sensing in a Top Load HE Washer
Maytag Washer Symptoms and First Checks
- Lid or door won't lock. For lid or door lock codes, Maytag says to check for clothing or objects blocking the latch area and then reset the washer by unplugging it for five minutes. Source: Maytag Product Help - F5E2 - Error Code (top load)
