Washer does not start, nothing! Have unplugged for a minute, raised the lid 6 times to reset, nothing! Novice at doing repairs DIY type of person.
For model number MTW5600TQ2
Hi Ben,
Thank you for your question. If the washer will not start, the washer lid switch may be malfunctioning. Replacing this item fixes the issue the majority of the time. You will need to test the parts with a multi-meter. Here is a link to one of our videos on YouTube that you may use as a general reference on how to use one, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWC44fHn0As. There are some other parts that you will need to check to see which one is causing the issue. Here is a link from our website that you may reference on what other parts to check, https://www.partselect.com/AdvancedModelSymptoms.aspx?ModelNum=MTW5600TQ2&mfgModelNum=&fkMfgID=1&ModelMasterID=59705&PID=40. We hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

My Maytag washer with the model number mtw5600tq2, it fills with water, but the agitator is not moving during the cycle and my clothes are soaking wet when it finishes. The tub is drained of water at the end of the cycle. What could be the reason for this? This model is more difficult to assess then any others i have ever had.
For model number MTW5600TQ2
Hello and thank you for writing.
It certainly sounds like it could be a faulty clutch assembly PS334641 and/or a loose or a faulty agitator bolt PS11741866you should check the part(s) for signs of damage, and replace the part(s) as needed. We hope this helps. Please contact us anytime if you require further assistance.

I have the inlet valve but I can't get to it, how do I get the top off ?
For model number MTW5600TQ2
Hi Ruben, thank you for your question. We have a customer who wrote in with how to install that part: "To replace the inlet solenoid valve/thermistor assembly: Unplug the washer. Turn the water off and unscrew the hoses from the inlet. Unsnap the end caps from the top control panel. Remove the exposed screws from each end of the panel (#2 Phillips). Pull the panel out of the way and pop out the two retaining clips that hold the back of the machine to the cabinet. They are located under the control panel. Remove the mounting screw from the valve assembly (1/4-inch driver). Pull the back away from the cabinet far enough to remove the valve, but don't let the wires get cut. Disconnect the wires. To unplug the solenoid connectors, lift the long tab with a screwdriver. Disconnect the water outlet hose. Connect the wires and hose to the new valve assembly. The red connector goes to the hot water valve. The thermistor wires (the two individual connectors) can be connected to either terminal. It does not matter if they are reversed. Put the valve back in place and install the screw. Hook up and turn the water on. Plug in the machine and test the valve. Unplug the power and reinstall the back and the control panel. The back-to-cabinet clips can be snapped back in place easily. " Good luck with your repair.

My washer doesn’t stop filling up, and if I’d let it it’ll over flow. Seems like a sensor issue. I set it to small load and it fills all the way. How do I fix this?
For model number MTW5600TQ2
Hi Maggie, thank you for getting in touch. Based on the description that you provided, we would recommend checking the water level pressure switch, part number PS3408149, as it is most likely faulty and may need to be replaced. The pressure switch shuts off the power to the water inlet valve when proper water level is reached. If the pressure switch fails, the water inlet valve will continue to fill the washer tub with water, causing the washer to overflow. We hope this is helpful!

First pry off the cap of the agitator. Then using a socket remove the bolt that holds the plastic cup in place. Remove this cup by prying it loose from the two tabs that hold it in place. Once this cup is removed you can get to the broken cogs.

Very easy do-it-yourself repair! Took about 20 minutes because I was being cautious. Next time I could do it in 5 minutes.

Washer not agitating
On top of the agitator is a flat cap that is held in place by the friction of an o-ring, there are no fasteners. I would imagine one could get under the lip with a small screwdriver or butter knife to pop it off but I chose simply using my fingernails so as to not disfigure the cap. Under the cap you will find the head of the only bolt

that holds the assembly together it is a 7/16 head and because it is in a 4" deep well your will need a 6" extension for your ratchet. Once the bolt is out the top of the agitator, the assembly with the cogs removes by hand. Set the assembly upside down on the counter, slide the black plastic ring off, pull the cogs out with your fingertips, install the new cogs put a new black ring on and set the assembly back in the agitator. Reinstall bolt. As the bolt is down in a tube, you cannot set it in place with your fingers and it will fall out of the socket. To hold the bolt in the socket during positioning you can either put a gob of Vaseline on the bolt head to hold it in the socket or form a small piece of paper over the bolt head and set it into the socket, the friction of the paper will hold the bolt into the socket. Took me less then 10 minutes, good luck
