Know Your Maytag Washer
What Makes Maytag Washer Repairs Different
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
Maytag Washer Symptoms and First Checks
- 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. Source: Maytag Product Help - Washer Not Draining or Spinning? Troubleshooting Guide
- 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
