1. The Maytag Washer does not fill or run – the common reason why a Maytag washer doesn’t run or fill is because it is not receiving power. You need to make sure it is plugged in into an electrical outlet and the outlet is functioning properly. Another problem is that it may not be supplied with water. Check the hoses to make sure they are properly tightened and without kinks. Always remember that Maytag washers will fill with water when opening the lid but it won’t run if the lid is closed.
2. The Maytag washer creates excessive
noise or vibration – excessive noise is usually caused by non-level installation and overloading. Overloading can simply be fixed by putting less clothing into the washer. You need to make sure that the washing machine is placed on a firm, and completely level surface. If the floor where it is located is not level, it will definitely create noise and vibration. It can even damage the washing machine if left unattended.
3. The Maytag washer does not drain – there are certain issues that may cause this problem. It may be because the lid was left open during the cycle, which will leave the clothes unwashed because the cycle cannot run. You should make sure that the timer button is pushed properly to continue the cycle. If that solution won’t work, then make sure that the drain hose is not clogged or kinked. You should also make sure that the washer is not overloaded. If it is overloaded it will slow the speed of the cycle.
4. The clothes smell after washing – this usually happens because the washer is not cleaned. Make sure that the rubber seals are cleaned and washed, as well as the areas underneath them. Most of the time, the grime and dirt that cause the bad odor tend to build up in the rubberized seals. Use a diluted bleach solution to clean those areas. You should also make sure the washer door is always open between uses to properly dry out the interior.
5. The Dispenser is leaking or clogged – there are two major issues that you will need to investigate when your dispensers are leaking or clogged. First of all, you need to check if the washing products are correctly loaded in the dispensers. You often think that when the dispenser is clogged the clothes were not properly loaded into the washing machine. You should also set your detergent type selector properly. If your selector is not adjusted properly, then your dispenser won’t work, even though the clothes were loaded properly. If all of these suggested options don’t work, then it is time you consulted a professional repair man.
