This part is the replacement hot water valve for your washer. It is approximately 2-1/2 inches by 3-1/2 inches, and the valve head is approximately 1 inch in diameter. The hot water inlet valve in your washer connects to the water source and solenoid wires, and ensures the tub has the right amount of hot water entering it. If your washin...Read moreg machine continues to fill after it is full, or if it fills slowly, you may need to replace this valve. Another indication that your valve is damaged and will need to be replaced, is if you notice it is leaking when the washer fills up.

Was working fine on friday but saturday there’s no power. I check the breaker and plug there both good. I bought a computer from you guys when we bought it. What would cause this?
Hello Jeremy, Thank you for the question. If the outlet it is plugged into and the breaker are good and still no power, it could be a defective Washer Control Board with Sensor Assembly PartSelect Number PS2037410. I looked up the part and it is listed as No Longer Available/Discontinued sorry. There are no part substitutions listed. My suggestion here would be to call the manufacturer and see if they can provide you with a substitution for these part numbers. Hope this helps!

Hello and thank you for writing.
If the washer won't drain there might be a clogged hose. It's common for small socks or other small clothing items to get into the water drain system and clog the hose leading to the pump If the washer won't drain the lid switch assembly PS11745016 might be defective. We hope this helps. Please contact us anytime if you require further assistance.

The Maytag is well designed and the parts are easy to reach. At least from this experience, the machine was designed with efficient repairs in mind. This is a sign of a well made machine.

I bought a new door lock for 132 dollars (item number PS2037196).
Ultimately you have to get to the inside of the machine where the door lock is located in order to see if you will need this door lock that I bought.
DISCONNECT POWER FROM MACHINE.
First take off the top by taking off the 2 screws on the bac
... Read morek of the machine.
Second take off the control panel, I believe there are about 5 or 6 screws for that. (there's also a screw when you open up the detergent compartment on the bottom left- also, a lever must be pushed in order for the compartment to come off- it MUST be taken off).
Third unscrew the top of the front white plate.. there should be a 5 or 6 screws for that. You don't need to take off the entire front plate.
Finally unscrew 3 screws that hold the door lock in place .. make sure your hands is in the machine- the back of door lock to catch the lock when you're on the last screw.
Gently take out the door lock from the side with the cables attached by holding the white metal door open (it bends).
Try to pull on the bottom of the door lock (its a manual release). If it doesn't release you need to buy a new door lock like I did... if it does release then you don't need a door lock and just reassemble. (Note: You can also try plugging in the machine and THEN pulling down on the manual release. When I tried this the door lock just vibrated and nothing happened so I bought a new door lock.)
If you have the new door lock continue here:
Take out all 3 cables on the old door lock by pressing on the corresponding clips.
Attach the new door lock with the correct cables. Assemble machine back together.
