Charlotte - For model number WTW7040DW1

The washer makes a squeaking noise when it is in the wash or rinse cycle. Not when it is in the spin cycle. Seems to be cleaning fine just noisy.
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello Charlotte, thank you for the question. Based on our understanding of the issue, we would suggest you checking the gearcase, part number PS12741641, to fix the issue. Glad to be of assistance!

SHERRI - For model number WTW7040DW1
February 6, 2025
I'm getting the code dr. Machine stops, turns off with water still in the tube. Latch locked, so I unplugged the machine and a light started blinking while unplugged.
Chris Boyle Profile
Hi Sherri, Thank you for reaching out. The "DR" error code indicates a drainage issue. The washer is not able to drain water from the tub during a cycle. We suggest checking for a blockage or clog in the drain hose and pump. If they are clear, you may have a faulty Drain Pump. We hope this information helps!

Cole - For model number WTW7040DW1
June 16, 2021
We are getting a code "int" on the screen. I have not been able to find that error code anywhere. When we turn it on all the buttons work, we start it, it latches, but does not fill up with water. You can hear a faint sound of something running or trying to run. But it will do that for about 3 or 4 minutes then buzz like its done.
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello Cole, Thank you for the question. The "int" means interrupt. The "int" will display when "Stop" is pressed when trying to interrupt the cycle. Normally it should start again after 3-5 seconds after pressing "Start". If the "Stop" Was not pressed or it will not start again, we suggest checking the wiring connections between the boards. We hope this helps!

What does it mean when the code LF comes up on the screen?
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello Dimetria, Thank you for the question. The LF Error code indicates an issue with the water flowing into the appliance. We suggest checking the screens on the Water Inlet Valve where the Water Fill Hoses connect. If they are clear, you may have a defective Valve. We hope this helps!

Loud grinding noise when the washer was in use.
69 of 84 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Charles from STARKVILLE, MS
  • Easy
  • 1- 2 hours
  • Nutdriver, Screw drivers, Socket set
1.) disconnect power to your washer. Turn off water supply and disconnect from the washer.

open the washer top and remove plastic cap from the wash plate

2.) using 7/16 socket, remove bolt from the wash plate. If you can't remove it with a socket , I recommend using impact wrench.

3.) remove wash plate ( you might need to spray penetrating oil or wd40 inside the bolt hole to loosen it.
Check to make sure the wash plate gear grooves are not worn down, if they are, replace it.

4.) using your Maytag specific spaner nut wrench, remove the spaner nut from the shaft of the gear case. This should be right underneath where the wash plate was. If you can't turn it by hand , use a rubber mallet or hammer to encourage it.

5.) some people remove the wash basket at this point. I don't think it is necessary.

6.) close your washing machine. Tape the top closed to keep it from flying open. Tilt your washer back and prop it up where you have access to the underside of the washing machine.

7) remove motor rotor bolt and pull rotor off of the motor.

8.) disconnect the two wire connectors that supply power to motor. using a socket, remove bolts that are keeping motor attached to the gear case.

9.) Now that the gear case is all the is remaining on the underside, you can remove the 4 bolts that are holding the gear case to the washer. Now try to pull gear case out.

10.) if gearcase will not pull out, lower washer back to upright position. Spray penetrating oil or wd40 around the shaft of the gearcase and allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes. Using a hammer, lightly tap on the shaft of the gearcase and it should now fall out. ( you might have to apply penetrating oil again, or apply more force with the hammer.

11.) reinstall motor to new gearcase. Insert new gear case to the washer. Reinstall bolts and reconnect power supply wires.

12. ReInstall spaner nut inside the washer, reinstall wash plate.

Worn out splines connecting transmission driveshaft to agitator.
13 of 15 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Thomas from MILLBURY, OH
  • Easy
  • 30 - 60 mins
  • Nutdriver, Pliers, Screw drivers, Socket set
DIY'er working on a Maytag Centennial type washing machine should be aware that replacing a a transmission or agitator due to worn out splines is only half a job done well. I originally replaced my transmission due to worn splines, only to discover later that the worn agitator splines caused the new transmission splines to wear out at an accelerated rate. Transmission and Agitator should be replaced together, along with a new Agitator mounting bolt. There are plenty of video's online of how to do this repair so I won't get into that here. Just wanted to drop the above sage advice. Transmissions for these washers aren't cheap.
