TROUBLESHOOTING First try the solutions suggested here or visit our website at www.maytag.com/help for assistance and to possibly avoid a service call. If you experience Possible Causes Solution Water Leaks Check the following for proper installation: Washer not level. Fill hoses not attached tightly. Fill hose washers Drain hose connection Water may splash off basket if washer is not level. Tighten fill-hose connection. Make sure all four fill hose flat washers are properly seated. Pull drain hose from washer cabinet and properly secure it to drainpipe or laundry tub. Check household plumbing for leaks or clogged sink or drain. Washer not loaded properly. Water can back up out of a clogged sink or drainpipe. Check all household plumbing for leaks (laundry tubs, drain pipe, water pipes, and faucets.) Unbalanced loading can cause basket to be out of alignment and cause water to splash off tub. See "Using Your Washer" for loading instructions. Washer not performing as expected Not enough water in washer Load not completely covered in water. Washer won't run or fill, washer stops working or wash light remains on (indicating that the washer was unable to fill appropriately) Check for proper water supply. This is normal operation for an HE low-water washer. The load will not be completely underwater. The washer senses load sizes and adds correct amount of water for optimal cleaning. See "What's New under the Lid." IMPORTANT: Do not add more water to washer. The added water lifts the load off the washplate, resulting in less cleaning. Both hoses must be attached and have water flowing to inlet valve. Both Hot and Cold water faucets must be turned on. Check that inlet valve screens have not become clogged. Check for any kinks in inlet hoses, which can restrict water flow. Washer won't run or fill, washer stops working or wash light remains on (indicating that the washer was unable to fill appropriately) (cont.) Check for proper electrical supply. Plug power cord into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not use an extension cord. Ensure there is power to outlet. Reset a tripped circuit breaker. Replace any blown fuses. NOTE: If problems continue, contact an electrician. 12
