Maytag Washer Lines and Features
What a Maytag Washer Technician Deals With
The washer will only run and spin when the lid or door switch senses it is fully closed, and the lid or door locks at the start of a cycle. Source: Maytag Product Help - Washer Not Draining or Spinning? Troubleshooting Guide
A liquid-filled balance ring at the top of the tub shifts to offset uneven loads so the basket stays steady at higher spin speeds. Source: Maytag Product Help - Water Heard in Washer, but not Seen - Balance Ring Information
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 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)
