Leaking• Make sure supply hose connections are not

leaking. Check for rubber gasket damagedue to overtightening.

• Make sure end of drain hose is correctlyinserted and secured to drain facility.

• Avoid overloading which can push the doorpartially open.

• Check internal hose connections• Check tub cover. Remove, reposition and

reinstall the tub cover seal. Seal seam mustbe at the top of the tub cover.

Display Lights Up When Door Opened• This is normal behavior.

No Tumble• Washer does not tumble for the first 30

seconds after the door has been opened forsafety purposes.

• Fabric cycles such as delicates and handwash only tumble for a few seconds every 30seconds.

• Check for loose connections at machinecontrol board, motor control board andmotor.

• Perform Motor and Motor Control Test.• Washer does not tumble during some drains

and rinse fills.

No Water Fill• Check to make sure water supply turned on

fully.• Normal water level is only 2.5 to 5 inches inside

the spinner.• Check for kinks in inlet hoses.• Check for clogged inlet screens.• Visually check hot and cold separately at

dispenser for proper flows.• Go to No Fill Test page 11.

Noisy• Clothes washer should be leveled properly

as outlined in installation instructions.• Weak floors can cause vibration and walking.• Check for loose lower front bracket.• Be sure rubber feet are installed on leveling

legs.• Check that the leveling leg lock nuts are

tightened.• If complaint is a high-pitched noise during fill

then disconnect supply hoses and cleanscreens.

• Check for proper spring placement of outertub support springs.

• Check strut operation.

Tub is completely full of suds• Run the clothes washer through another

complete cycle using cold water and no moredetergent.

• Reduce detergent amount for that specific loadsize and soil level. Towel loads have a minimalamount of soil present and typically create moresuds.

• Use high efficiency or low sudsing detergentspecially formulated for front load washers.

• Check for restricted drain system.• Check for loose wire connections at control

board and pump.• Check to see if belt fell off motor and pulley.• Perform Motor and Motor Control Test.

Troubleshooting Procedures! WARNING

To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury or death; disconnect power to washer before servicing, unlesstesting requires power.

August 2006 5 16027402©2006 Maytag Services

Will Not Drain• Check for restricted drain system.• Check low and high water levels. Go to No

Fill test page 11.• Check for 120 VAC at the pump when a

spin cycle is selected.

Wrong Water Temperature• Too Hot/Too Cold; since this product uses

a low amount of water, the boardregulates the incoming flow to temper theactual temperature of the water in the tub.This may appear to be significantlywarmer/cooler than expected.

• Are both faucets on fully?• Make sure temperature selection is

correct.• Make sure hoses are connected to

correct faucets and inlet connections.Flush water line before filling washer.

• Check the water heater. It should be setto deliver a minimum 120°F (49°C) hotwater at the tap. Also check water heatercapacity and recovery rate.

• If the water heater is located a longdistance from washer, water line mayneed to be purged prior to starting washcycle.

• Disconnect inlet hoses and cleanscreens.

• This washer can sense if the fill hoseshave been reversed between hot andcold. If the fill hoses on the washer werepreviously installed incorrectly and thencorrected, the washer will need to be runthrough a Hot / Cold cycle. If not resolved,check for proper resistance on the watervalve thermistor. (See Machine ControlBoard INPUT/OUTPUT chart).

Troubleshooting Procedures! WARNING

To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury or death; disconnect power to washer before servicing, unlesstesting requires power.

Wet Clothes• Very small clothes loads can cause

unbalances add additional towels.• Excessive suds may have been present.

Check for diagnostic code 16.• Check unbalance harness connections at all

switches and at Control Board.• Inertial unbalance switch tripped too soon,

resulting in lower spin speeds. Run QuickSpin Test to check unbalance switches andControl Board.

• Check for restricted drain system.• Perform Motor and Motor Control Test.

Will Not Lock• Door not all the way closed.• Check electrical connections at lock assembly

and machine control board. Go to Door LockTest.

Will Not Unlock• Unplug and replug in power cord and wait 2

minutes to see if machine unlocks.• Check for door locked switch circuit to be

closed at machine control. (See MachineControl Board INPUT/OUTPUT chart).

• Check to make sure belt has not fallen off.• Check for loose electrical connections at

door lock and at machine control board.• Perform Motor and Motor Control Test.

Will Not Start• Plug cord into live electrical outlet.• Check fuse or reset circuit breaker.• Push the start/pause button to start the clothes

washer.• Close door and push the start/pause button

to start the clothes washer. start/pause LEDshould change from flashing to on continuously.

• Check to see if the washer is in a pause orsoak period in the cycle. Wait briefly and itmay start.

• Check for restricted drain system.
