The drain pump stays on and the door is locked and none of the controls work
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello Nick and thanks for writing. Your washer may get stuck on this cycle which is called SIPHONING. -Siphoning happens when the end of the washer drain hose is lower than the level of the water inside the washing machine. Siphoning may begin when water is first pumped out of the machine. We suggest to try a hard reset: Go to your breaker box and shut the breakers for your unit off, wait 5 minutes and then turn the breaker to on again. That should clear this problem. If it does not clear you would most likely need to replace the drain pump # PS11756700

I recently cleaned out the drain filter. Now, i'm getting water leaking underneath. All of the other hose connections are dry. There are a few drops of water at the base of the drain filter, but the drain filter is tightly screwed in. Would the gasket around the drain filter cap be leaking? Where can i get a replacement?

Door locked because of faulty water level switch
28 of 34 people found this instruction helpful.
  • George from ORO VALLEY, AZ
  • Really Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
  • Nutdriver
First some background. The door locked up the first time when appliance was less than one year old. The "Maytag Repairman" finally succeeded in getting the door open after propping up the front of the machine and fumbling around underneath for a period of time and then assured me the problem was solved. The problem recurred less than a year later, and I called another repairman who seemed to have an easier time of it, and charged $293.42 to replace the water level switch. About six months later the same problem recurred and I took the cover off the top of the machine and found there a booklet "For Service Technician's Use Only". VERY HELPFUL. Told how extremely easy it was to unlock door - took about five seconds. Replacing the switch itself involved pulling one tubing off and disconnecting one elec connection from old switch and replacing on new switch. Total cost $50 plus a few dollars for shipping.

One of the hinges broke, making the door sag
21 of 30 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Sandy from MILWAUKIE, OR
  • Easy
  • 1- 2 hours
Using the Torx Screwdriver, we removed the door from the unit. Then we removed all of the screws on the inside of the washer door. After that we flipped it over and opened it up exposing the inside. We couldn't separate them entirely because there was a screw under the latch piece that we couldn't figure out how to get to. However with a ll the screws out on the inside of the door, we did have enough room to open it up and access the place cover that holds the hinges in. Once we accessed that we removed the roller tips from the old unit and placed them on the new one. Then we reversed the process. With a couple screws in we realized we had put the hinge in reversed from what it needed to be, so we reopened it and switched it around. Then completed replacing all the screws and reattached it to the washer. It opens and closes perfectly and we saved a couple hundred dollars for sure, as the quote to come out had been a $150 trip charge.
