If you experience
Washer not performing as expected (cont.)
Load not rinsed (cont.)
Sand, pet hair, lint, etc. on
load after washing
Load is tangling
Not cleaning or
removing stains
In U.S.A. www.maytag.com/product_help – In Canada www.maytag.ca.
Possible Causes
Washer may be tightly packed.
Fabric softener option not selected.
Heavy sand, pet hair, lint, and
detergent or bleach residues may
require additional rinsing.
Washer not loaded as recommended.
Wash action and/or spin speed too fast
for load.
Load not completely
covered in water.
Added more water to washer.
Washer not loaded as recommended.
Not using HE detergent or using too
much HE detergent.
Not using correct cycle for fabric type.
Not using dispensers.
Not washing like colors together.
The washer is less efficient at rinsing when load is tightly packed.
Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the washplate.
Do not load garments directly over the center of the washplate.
Use cycle designed for the fabrics being washed.
Add only 1 or 2 additional garments after washer has started.
When using fabric softener, be sure the Fabric Softener option
is selected.
Add an Extra Rinse to the selected cycle.
Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the washplate. Do not
load garments directly over the center of the washplate.
Reduce tangling by mixing types of load items. Use the
recommended cycle for the type of garments being washed.
Select a cycle with a slower wash action and slower spin speed. Note
that items will be wetter than when using a higher speed spin.
This is normal operation for an HE low-water washer. The load will
not be completely under water. The washer senses load sizes and
adds correct amount of water for optimal cleaning. See "What's
New under the Lid."
Do not add additional water to washer. Additional water lifts
the laundry off the washplate, resulting in less cleaning.
Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the washplate.
Do not load garments directly over the center of the washplate.
Add only 1 or 2 additional garments after washer has started.
The suds from regular detergent can prevent washer from
operating correctly.
Use only HE detergent. Be sure to measure correctly.
Always measure detergent and follow detergent directions based on
load size and soil level.
Use a higher soil level cycle option and warmer wash temperature to
improve cleaning.
If using Rapid Wash cycle, wash only a few items.
Use Power Wash, Whites, or Heavy Duty cycle for tough cleaning.
See the "Cycle Guide" to match your load with the best cycle.
Use dispensers to avoid chlorine bleach and fabric softener staining.
Load dispensers before starting a cycle.
Avoid overfilling.
Do not add products directly onto load.
Wash like colors together and remove promptly after the cycle
is complete to avoid dye transfer.
