How Maytag Washers Are Built
Maytag top loaders move clothes with either an agitator or an impeller, and the drive shifts between agitation and full spin, which can make a normal clunking sound. Source: Maytag - How to repair a washing machine (top load)
Maytag Washer Symptoms and First Checks
- 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. Source: Maytag Product Help - Washer Not Draining or Spinning? Troubleshooting Guide
- Washer odor. Maytag links odor to skipped cleanings, wet loads left sitting and too much detergent or softener, and recommends regular washer cleaning and moving loads out promptly. Source: Maytag - How to repair a washing machine (top load)
