In Canada www.maytag.ca for assistance and to possibly avoid a service call.
Possible causes
Check plumbing for correct drain hose
installation. Drain hose extends into
standpipe farther than 4.5" (114 mm).
Too much detergent causing suds to
slow or stop draining and spinning.
High spin speeds extract more
moisture than your previous washer.
Washer may be tightly packed.
Added extra garments to the load after
the sensing/fill phase.
Check for proper water supply.
Energy saving controlled
wash temperatures.
Check for proper water supply.
Not using HE detergent or using too
much HE detergent.
Washer not loaded as recommended.
Heavy sand, pet hair, lint, and
detergent or bleach residues may
require additional rinsing.
Check drain hose for proper installation. Use drain hose form
and securely attach to drainpipe or tub. Do not tape over drain
opening. Lower drain hose if the end is higher than 96" (2.4 m)
above the floor. Remove any clogs from drain hose.
Always measure and follow detergent directions for your load.
To remove extra suds, select Rinse/Spin. Do not add detergent.
The high spin speeds combined with airflow during the final spin
can cause items near the top of the load to develop dry spots
during the final spin. This is normal.
Use Bulky/Sheets cycle for higher water fill, or set Water Level knob
to Deep Water Wash setting. See "Cycle Guide" to match your load
with the best cycle.
NOTE: Deep Water Wash is not available in the Normal cycle mode.
Selecting the Normal cycle with the Deep Water Wash setting will
result in auto sensing of the water level.
Add only one or two additional garments after washer has started.
Make sure hot and cold inlet hoses are not reversed.
Both hoses must be attached to both washer and faucet,
and have both hot and cold water flowing to inlet valve.
Check that inlet valve screens are not clogged.
Remove any kinks in hoses.
This washer uses cooler wash and rinse water temperatures
than traditional top-loading washers. This includes cooler hot and
warm washes.
Make sure hot and cold inlet hoses are not reversed.
Both hoses must be attached and have water flowing to the
inlet valve.
Both hot and cold water faucets must be on.
Inlet valve screens on washer may be clogged.
Remove any kinks in the inlet hose.
The suds from too much detergent can keep washer from
operating correctly. Always measure detergent and follow
detergent directions based on load size and soil level.
The washer is less efficient at rinsing when load is tightly packed.
Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the basket wall.
Load with dry items only.
Use cycle designed for the fabrics being washed.
Add only one or two additional garments after washer has started.
Use Bulky/Sheets cycle for higher water fill, or set Water Level knob
to Deep Water Wash setting. See "Cycle Guide" to match your load
with the best cycle.
NOTE: Deep Water Wash is not available in the Normal cycle mode.
Selecting the Normal cycle with the Deep Water Wash setting will
result in auto sensing of the water level.
Add 2 Rinses to the selected cycle and/or use PowerWash cycle or
Deep Water Wash option.
NOTE: Deep Water Wash is not available in the Normal cycle mode.
Selecting the Normal cycle with the Deep Water Wash setting will
result in auto sensing of the water level.
