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
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)
Common Maytag Washer Problems
- Off balance, shaking or walking. Maytag says to spread the load evenly, confirm the shipping bolts were removed, and level the washer so all four feet sit firmly on the floor. Source: Maytag Product Help - Washer is Vibrating, Walking or Moving
- 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)
