Jeff for Model Number MAH8700AWW Maytag Neptune front load wash machine that is throwing an OE code during the wash cycle. For some reason half way into the wash cycle the hot water valve is kicking on, even though the machine is set to cold/cold...Eventually, the alarm will go off when the tub is half filled and it will start to drain, however, the hot water keeps filling until I shut off the hot water on the wall. Does this sound like the pressure sensor, the hot water valve or the mother board. Am about ready to float this machine down the river.
Answer Jeff, The "OE" code indicates the machine is overfilling. A "sticky" fill valve that allows water to continue to fill unless the faucet is turned off, is a most likely problem. You'll want to replace the fill valve WP34001248 clean or replace the screened hose washers 285452A and flush both faucets, to clear any sediment or debris in the water lines. Both parts are in stock and available. You can also disconnect the air tube from the pressure switch, blow in the end of the tube to clear any sediment or debris in the tube(make sure the washer tub is empty). Read More...
