Know Your Maytag Washer
What Makes Maytag Washer Repairs Different
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 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
What Maytag Washer Codes Mean
| Code | What it means |
|---|---|
| F9E1 | Top load: long drain, usually tied to a kinked, clogged or improperly installed drain hose. Source: Maytag Product Help - F9E1 - 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 |
| F5E2 | Top load: the lid lock cannot engage, often because something is obstructing the lock area. Source: Maytag Product Help - F5E2 - Error Code |
Signs Your Maytag Washer Needs a Technician
- Loud banging, shaking or walking during the spin
- Grinding or roaring noise that rises with spin speed
- Washer will not start or the lid or door stays locked
What a Washing Machine Technician Checks
Care Maytag Recommends for Its Washers
- If fill is slow, shut off the water, remove the inlet hoses and scrub clogged inlet screens on the back of the water valve with a brush and mild soap. Source: Maytag Product Help - Checking the Fill Hoses if the Washer is not Filling
- 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
