  If your Maytag washer is taking longer than eight minutes to drain, it could be due to several reasons. Check the drain hose to ensure it is not plugged or kinked. Also, inspect the electrical connections at the pump to confirm the pump is running. Examine the drain pump filter for any foreign objects. If these steps don't solve the issue, the pump may need to be replaced. Press PAUSE/CANCEL two times to clear the display.
