How Maytag Washers Are Built

Maytag Washer Symptoms and First Checks
- 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)

- Where the washer drains (standpipe or laundry sink)
Around Kansas City
KC Water (Missouri River source), which supplies Kansas City, reports hardness of about 100 mg/L (5-6 grains per gallon) on average, moderately hard. Hard water leaves scale on washer inlet screens and heating parts and calls for the right detergent dose, which is worth mentioning when you book a repair. Source: KC Water - Water Quality Topics
In Missouri, you can report a problem to the Missouri Attorney General's Office, Consumer Protection.
