What Makes Maytag Washer Repairs Different
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
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
- 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)
What Maytag Washer Codes Mean

Care Maytag Recommends for Its Washers
- Run the Clean Washer cycle with a washer cleaning tablet about once a month, or when the clean washer light comes on or odor appears; without that cycle, use the hottest, highest water setting. Source: Maytag Product Help - Cleaning Washers with affresh
- 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
