PART NO. W10315512A
IMPORTANT: Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Sensitive Electronics
ESD problems are present everywhere. Most people begin to feel an ESD discharge at
approximately 3000V. It takes as little as 10V to destroy, damage, or weaken the main control
assembly. The new main control assembly may appear to work well after repair is finished,
but a malfunction may occur at a later date due to ESD stress.
Use an anti-static wrist strap. Connect wrist strap to green ground connection point or
unpainted metal in the appliance
-OR-
Touch your finger repeatedly to a green ground connection point or unpainted metal
in the appliance.
Before removing the part from its package, touch the anti-static bag to a green ground
connection point or unpainted metal in the appliance.
Avoid touching electronic parts or terminal contacts; handle electronic control assembly
by edges only.
When repackaging main control assembly in anti-static bag, observe above instructions.
Voltage Measurement Safety Information
When performing live voltage measurements, you must do the following:
Verify the controls are in the off position so that the appliance does not start when energized.
Allow enough space to perform the voltage measurements without obstructions.
Keep other people a safe distance away from the appliance to prevent potential injury.
Always use the proper testing equipment.
After voltage measurements, always disconnect power before servicing.

Questions and Answers

    What to do if my Maytag won’t run or fill?
    • K
      Kathy ChavezAug 20, 2025
      If your Maytag Washer isn’t running or filling, ensure that both hot and cold water faucets are turned on and that the inlet hoses are properly attached with water flowing to the inlet valve. Check for any kinks in the inlet hoses and make sure the inlet valve screens are not clogged. Also, the lid must be closed for the washer to operate. Verify the power cord is plugged into a grounded 3-prong outlet, and the outlet has power. Avoid using an extension cord. If the washer is tightly packed, remove several items, rearrange the load evenly, add detergent, close the lid, and press START/Pause/Unlock.

    What to do if Maytag Washer is not draining or spinning?
    • J
      Julian MillerAug 22, 2025
      If your Maytag Washer isn't draining or spinning, several factors could be the cause. Small items might be caught in the pump or between the basket and tub, slowing drainage. Tightly packed or unbalanced loads can prevent proper spinning; arrange the wet load evenly. Check the drain hose for correct installation, ensuring it doesn't extend more than 4.5" (114 mm) into the standpipe. Ensure the drain hose isn't taped over, is not higher than 96" (2.4 m) above the floor, and is free of clogs. Too much detergent can also cause issues; always measure and follow detergent directions. To remove extra suds, select Rinse & Spin without adding detergent.

    Why is the lid locked light flashing on my Maytag ?
    • J
      Jeffery StewartAug 25, 2025
      The lid locked light flashes on your Maytag Washer because the lid is not completely closed. Ensure the lid is closed properly, as the washer will not start or fill with the lid open.

    Why is my Maytag Washer vibrating or off-balance?
    • P
      Patricia BeltranAug 30, 2025
      Several factors can cause your Maytag Washer to vibrate or become off-balance. The feet may not be in contact with the floor or locked, so ensure the front and rear feet are firmly touching the floor and that the washer is level, with jam nuts tightened. An unbalanced load can also cause this issue; load dry items loosely and evenly around the basket wall, avoiding tightly packed loads or single items. Check the floor for flexing or sagging; if uneven, place a 3/4" (19 mm) piece of plywood under the washer.

    How to fix load tangling in Maytag Washer?
    • K
      kathryn37Aug 31, 2025
      To reduce tangling in your Maytag Washer, load garments loosely and evenly around the basket wall. Mix different types of items in the load and select a cycle with a slower wash action and spin speed. Refer to the “Cycle Guide” to choose the best cycle for your load. Ensure the washer is loaded as recommended.

    Why is my Maytag not cleaning or removing stains?
    • B
      bookercynthiaSep 2, 2025
      If your Maytag Washer isn't cleaning or removing stains effectively, it could be due to a tightly packed load, which reduces cleaning efficiency. Make sure to add detergent, oxi products, and color-safe bleach to the bottom of the basket before adding the load items. Also, ensure you are using a load size (water level) that matches the amount of items being washed.
  • E

    Why does my Maytag Washer have odors?
    • M
      Maureen AndrewsSep 4, 2025
      Odors in your Maytag Washer can occur for a couple of reasons. You might be using too much detergent, so ensure you measure correctly and follow the manufacturer’s directions. Also, make sure you are performing monthly maintenance as recommended.

    Why are there dry spots on load after cycle in my Maytag ?
    • N
      Natasha BallSep 6, 2025
      Dry spots on your load after a cycle in your Maytag Washer are normal. The high spin speeds, combined with airflow during the final spin, can cause items near the top of the load to develop these spots.
