Why is my Maytag Washer leaking water?
- J
  Jennifer BlevinsAug 19, 2025
  There are several reasons why your Maytag washer might be leaking water. Check the following: * Ensure fill hoses are tightly connected. * Make sure all four fill-hose flat washers are properly seated. * Verify the drain hose is properly secured to the drainpipe or laundry tub. * Inspect household plumbing (laundry tubs, drain pipe, water pipes, and faucets) for leaks or clogs. * Use only HE detergent, as regular detergents can cause leaks. Always measure detergent according to the manufacturer's directions. * Clean the underside of the door glass periodically. * Be aware that water can drip off the inside of the door if opened during the “Add a Garment” phase.

  zhowardAug 30, 2025
  To address vibration or off-balance issues with your Maytag washer, consider the following: * Ensure the front and rear feet are in firm contact with the floor and locked, with jam nuts tight against the cabinet bottom. The washer must be level. * Check the floor for flexing or sagging; use a 3/4" (19 mm) piece of plywood under the washer if needed. * Avoid tightly packing the load or washing single items; balance single items with a few extra items. * Check that the shipping bolts have been removed from the back of the washer.

Why is my Maytag MHW3000BW making noises?
- M
  Michael BryantSep 3, 2025
  Several factors can cause noises in your Maytag washer: * The door locking, unlocking, and locking again is normal; you'll hear 3 clicks after touching and holding START. * Objects caught in the washer drain system can cause noise. Empty pockets before washing to prevent loose items like coins from falling between the drum and tub or blocking the pump. Metal items on clothing, such as snaps, buckles, or zippers, may also touch the stainless steel drum. * The pump may make a humming sound with periodic gurgling or surging as water is removed during spin/drain cycles. * Steel balls in the balancing system balancing the load is also normal at certain stages of the cycle.

What to check if my Maytag Washer is still not performing as expected?
- R
  Robin EllisSep 9, 2025
  If your Maytag washer is still not performing as expected, check that you are using only HE detergent and measuring it correctly. Avoid tightly packing the washer, and load only dry items. Use the cycle designed for the fabrics being washed, and add only 1 or 2 garments after the washer has started. See the “Cycle Guide” for the available settings and options for each cycle. Make sure hot and cold inlet hoses are not reversed. Ensure both hoses are attached and have water flowing to the inlet valve, and that both hot and cold water faucets are on. Check for clogged inlet valve screens and remove any kinks in the inlet hose. The suds from regular detergent can cause the washer to operate incorrectly. The washer will not rinse well if tightly packed.
