If you experience Possible Causes Solution
Feet may not be in contact with the
floor and locked.
Front and rear feet must be in firm contact with floor, and
washer must be level to operate properly. See “Installation
Instructions”.
Check floor for flexing or sagging. If flooring is uneven, a 3/4"
(19 mm) piece of plywood under your washer will reduce sound.
See “Level the Washer” in Installation Instructions.
Load could be unbalanced. Load dry items in loose heaps evenly around washplate. Adding
wet items to washer or adding more water to basket could
unbalance washer.
Wash smaller loads to reduce imbalance.
Do not tightly pack. Avoid washing single items.
Use Bulky/Sheets cycle for oversized, non-absorbent items such as
comforters or poly-filled jackets.
See “Cycle Guide” and “Using Your Washer” in this Use and
Care Guide.
Empty pockets before washing. Loose items such as coins
could fall between basket and tub or may block pump. It may
be necessary to call for service to remove items.
Noises - For normal operating sounds, goto www.maytag.com/product_help
It is normal to hear metal items on clothing such as snaps, buckles, or
zippers touch against the stainless steel basket.

Drain hose connection. Pull drain hose from washer cabinet and properly secure it to
drainpipe or laundry tub.

household plumbing for leaks (laundry tubs, drain pipe, water
pipes, and faucets.)
Fill hose washers.
Water Leaks
Check the following for
proper installation:
Do not place tape over drain opening.
