Know Your Maytag Washer
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)
What Maytag Says to Check First
- 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 odor. Maytag links odor to skipped cleanings, wet loads left sitting and too much detergent or softener, and recommends regular washer cleaning and moving loads out promptly. Source: Maytag - How to repair a washing machine (top load)
