Maytag Washer Lines and Features
How Maytag Washers Are Built
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
- 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
- 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
Reading a Maytag Washer Error Code
| Code | What it means |
|---|---|
| F8E1 | Top load: the washer is not detecting the right amount of incoming water. Source: Maytag Product Help - F8E1 - Error Code |
| F5E1 | Top load: lid switch problem; the lid may not be fully closed or something is blocking the switch. Source: Maytag Product Help - F5E1 - Error Code |
| F5E3 | Top load: lid lock problem; Maytag suggests a five-minute power reset first. Source: Maytag Product Help - F5E3 - Error Code |

Inside a Washer Repair Visit
Care Maytag Recommends for Its Washers
- Run the Clean Washer cycle with a washer cleaning tablet about once a month, or when the clean washer light comes on or odor appears; without that cycle, use the hottest, highest water setting. Source: Maytag Product Help - Cleaning Washers with affresh
- Use only HE detergent in HE washers and measure it per the detergent maker's directions, since too much causes oversudsing, poor rinsing and residue. Source: Maytag Product Help - HE Detergent use in a Washer

What Amherst Center Owners Should Know
Most washer calls in Amherst Center come down to the same handful of parts: the drain pump and filter, the lid switch or door lock, the drive belt or coupler, the inlet valve and the suspension.
Massachusetts does not issue a separate appliance repair license; running fuel gas piping to appliances and installing their vent piping is gas fitting work that requires a license from the Board of State Examiners of Plumbers and Gas Fitters.

In Massachusetts, you can check a license with the Massachusetts Division of Occupational Licensure eLIPSE license verification portal or report a problem to the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office, Consumer Advocacy and Response Division.
