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.

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.
For model number WTW7040DW1
PartSelect logo
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?
For model number WTW7040DW1
PartSelect logo
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!

We are getting a code f5 and e2, the machine wont advance
For model number WTW7040DW1

Hello Pamela, Thank you for the question. The F5 E2 error code indicates the washer can't engage the lid lock because there may be an obstruction in the lid lock area or the lock is faulty and needs to be replaced. If you need help placing an order, customer service is open 7 days a week. Please feel free to give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you!

Scratches in Surface
This product comes in a bottle with a brush like Liquid Paper. It goes on incredibly easy. A second coat might be needed. I wanted to prevent rust from setting in so I covered the scratches and dings. The paint is a little brighter since my washer is 10 years old but it still looks great.

Loud grinding noise when the washer was in use.
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.
