Know Your Maytag Washer
How Maytag Washers Are Built
Select Maytag washers use commercial-grade technology that includes a stainless steel wash basket and a direct drive motor. Source: Maytag - Washers
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
What Maytag Says to Check First
- Washer leaking. Maytag points first to loose inlet hose connections or missing hose washers, then to the drain hose and a backed-up household drain, and to clothes added mid-cycle that raise the water over the tub. Source: Maytag Product Help - Leaking Water Underneath - Washer
- 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.
