Know Your Maytag Washer
How Maytag Washers Are Built
The washer will only run and spin when the lid or door switch senses it is fully closed, and the lid or door locks at the start of a cycle. Source: Maytag Product Help - Washer Not Draining or Spinning? Troubleshooting Guide
Common Maytag Washer Problems
- 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)
- 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 |
|---|---|
| F9E1 | Top load: long drain, usually tied to a kinked, clogged or improperly installed drain hose. Source: Maytag Product Help - F9E1 - Error Code |
| F5E3 | Top load: lid lock problem; Maytag suggests a five-minute power reset first. Source: Maytag Product Help - F5E3 - Error Code |
