Why won't my Maytag Washer spin or drain?

  Several factors can prevent your Maytag washer from spinning or draining. It could be due to an unevenly distributed load; try redistributing the load, closing the lid, and pulling the knob out. Check the leveling of the washer and ensure the water level is appropriate for the load size. Also, inspect the drain hoses for any kinks or obstructions, and straighten them if necessary. In case of suds lock, rewash without detergent, and use the correct amount of a low-sudsing detergent. Remember to close the lid and pull the knob to start the washer, as it won't spin with the lid open. If the issue persists or there is a drain restriction or lid switch malfunction, it is best to call for service.

  If your Maytag washer isn't filling, make sure it's properly plugged into a working electrical outlet and that the fuse is intact or the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. Turn the control knob to the correct cycle and pull it out to start the washer. Ensure that both faucets connected to the washer are fully turned on and that the inlet hoses are straight, not kinked. Also, the hose filter screens may be plugged, try disconnecting the hoses and cleaning the screens.

  Your Maytag washer might stop for several reasons. An unevenly distributed load can cause it; try redistributing the load, closing the lid, and pulling the knob out. Ensure the washer is level and the water level is suitable for the load size. Verify the washer is plugged into a working outlet and the fuse or circuit breaker is functioning correctly. Make sure the control knob is set to the correct cycle and pulled out to start the washer, and that the lid is closed properly. It may also be a pause or soak period in the cycle, so wait briefly to see if it restarts. If the lid switch malfunctions, it is best to call for service.

  If your Maytag washer leaves the load wet, it might have detected an unevenly distributed load. Try redistributing the items in the tub, close the lid, and pull the control knob out. Also, consider that a normal spin speed is recommended for heavy loads such as jeans or towels.
