What Makes Maytag Washer Repairs Different
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
- 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)
- 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
