Know Your Maytag Washer
What a Maytag Washer Technician Deals With
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
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 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)
- 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.
