  1. SORT & LOAD LAUNDRY
    See the Loading Recommendation section below.

Loading Recommendation

For best performance, it is recommended to load items by dropping them in loose heaps evenly around the swashplate and agitator. Do not lay items length-wise around the swashplate or agitator.

More Water When You Want It

AUTO-SENSING & DEEP FILL

  • The washer will adjust the water level to the optimal amount for a High-Efficiency wash of the detected load size.
  • Touch “DEEP FILL” to add more water to the wash load.
  • There are four levels of deepwater “Auto”, “Medium”, “High”, “Max Fill”.
  • Not all levels are available on all cycles.

Cleaning with Less Water

As the washer dampens and moves the load, the level of the items will settle in the basket. This is normal and does not indicate that more items should be added.
IMPORTANT: You will not see a washer basket full of water as with your past agitator-style washer. It is normal for some of the load to be above the waterline.

Boost Stain Fighting (on selected cycles)

EXTRA POWER Option

  • Press the knob to select EXTRA POWER.
  • When Extra Power is active the cycle control knob will illuminate.
  • Extra Power will increase cleaning power in the cycle selected.

Rinsing Before Running a Wash Cycle

WATER FAUCET OPERATION

  • Press the faucet button once to turn it on.
  • To turn the faucet off press the button again.
  • The faucet will automatically shut off after 10 minutes or when the max water level is reached.
  • Water will automatically drain if the water level becomes too high or if the lid is left open for 10 minutes.

CYCLE GUIDE

Settings shown are selectable for that cycle. Factory default settings are shown in Bold. Once you select a cycle, the default modifiers or the previous set modifiers for that cycle will be shown in the Display LCD.

FAQ’S

How do I add a fabric softener sheet to the wash cycle?

Add the fabric softener sheet to the wash load when you add clothes.

How do I remove a fabric softener sheet from the wash cycle?

Remove the fabric softener sheet from the wash load during the rinse cycle.

What is the difference between “Cold” and “Cool” temperature settings?

The “Cold” setting is for lightly soiled items and/or water temperatures below 120°F (49°C). The “Cool” setting is for lightly soiled items and/or water temperatures at 120°F (49°C) or above.

What is the difference between “Warm” and “Hot” temperature settings?

The “Warm” setting is for lightly soiled items and/or water temperatures at 120°F (49°C) or above. The “Hot” setting is for heavily soiled items and/or water temperatures at 120°F (49°C) or above.

What are soil levels?

Soil levels are used to determine how much soil was in your clothes before they were washed. For example, if you have a new pair of jeans with little or no soil, you would select a low soil level. If you have an older pair of jeans with lots of soil, you would select a high soil level.

What are spin speeds?

Spin speeds determine how long your clothes will spin in the washer before stopping. For example, if you have a new pair of jeans with little or no soil, you would select a low spin speed. If you have an older pair of jeans with lots of soil, you would select a high spin speed.

Where is the filter on a Maytag top load washing machine?

In top-loading machines the filters are in the center of the agitator tube. They can be removed by taking off the agitator cap and pulling the filter upward. Lint and debris can then be removed by hand before replacing the filter.

How do I clean the filter on my Maytag top loader without agitator?

The quickest way to clean out your filter is to remove it from the unit and soak it in hot water, loosening any clog or trapped residue. If the filter cannot be removed, clean it out with brush. Some filters are disposable, so instead of cleaning them you can just throw them away and put a new one in place.

How do I deep clean my top load washing machine?

Take some Chlorine-bleach, pour 1 quart into the water filled washer, and then let it agitate for 1 minute. Afterwards, just let it sit for one hour so it can soak. Finally, run the longest cycle you can from your washing machine settings without adding any detergent. One more time!

Why is my Maytag washer not draining or spinning?

If the washer won’t drain or spin, either something is stuck in the washing machine drain hose or pump, or the pump is broken.

How do I reset my Maytag washer that won’t spin?

Press and hold the Start/Pause button for 3 seconds. All indicator lights should be off at this point. Reset the Washer: To reset (clear) the washer, rotate the Cycle Selector Knob counter-clockwise (left) to clear any sequence.

How do you manually unlock a Maytag top load washer?

If you remove the top washer panel, you can reach down into the washer and pull the tear shaped tab at the bottom of the door lock and it will unlock the door. On some of the Maytag washing machine models, there is a green plastic rope/string located near the detergent area that if pulled, will unlock the door.
