About this title

Synopsis

IS YOUR WASHER: Leaking water?

Leaking oil?

Overflowing?

Not filling, or filling too slowly?

Not agitating, or agitating weakly?

Not spinning?

Not draining?

Not doing anything?

Leaving your clothes too wet at the end of the cycle?

Vibrating uncontrollably?

Spinning and agitating at the same time?

Screeching, squeaking, clattering, knocking, buzzing, or making grinding or other strange noises?

Do you smell smoke?

Our washer repair manual can help!

Your Maytag washer is leaking; what things do you check first? How about if it was a Whirlpool or GE washer? It's a different set of likely problems. The same things tend to fail in the same designs. Why not save yourself some time, hassle and money, and just go there first? Diagnosis and repair procedures are included for the most common symptoms, such as leaks, no fill or slow fill, clothes too wet after cycle ends, no agitate, no spin, no drain, timer, drive motor and other electrical troubles. Covers all major appliance brands commonly available in the US, including Whirlpool / Kenmore, GE, Maytag, Hotpoint, JC Penney, Amana, Norge, Speed Queen, Westinghouse, Kelvinator, Frigidaire, Gibson, Montgomery Ward, Signature and many others.

Note: This manual does not cover front-loading washers; only top-loaders.

From the Author

I wrote the Cheap and Easy! appliance repair series for people who are fairly mechanically-minded, but just need a little coaching when it comes to appliances. Can you change the oil or spark plugs in your car? Most appliance repairs are no more difficult than that; diagnose the problem, change the part. A few tips and tricks, when necessary. In the manuals, I *do* inform you of how to diagnose more difficult problems (such as sealed system problems in refrigerators.) In these cases, depending on the diagnosis, I will advise you to call a professional service technician or scrap the machine; at least you will be able to make an informed decision. To my experience, these represent less than five percent of all appliance repairs.
