Maytag Washer Lines and Features
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
Common Maytag Washer Problems
- 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
Maytag Washer Error Codes
| Code | What it means |
|---|---|
| F5E3 | Top load: lid lock problem; Maytag suggests a five-minute power reset first. Source: Maytag Product Help - F5E3 - 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 |
| F9E1 | Top load: long drain, usually tied to a kinked, clogged or improperly installed drain hose. Source: Maytag Product Help - F9E1 - Error Code |
Maytag Washer Problems Worth a Service Call
