Suzanne February 21, 2019 for Model Number Maytag Epic MFW9800TQ0 Sometimes the water does not shut off coming into the machine. It does not glow, but has a fast drip and fills the drum. If I don't catch it and run the machine to empty it, it continues to fill, flooding the floor. This does not always happen. I had a plumber here to change the main water shut off valve. He said that the washer is pulling water in even though it is shut off and that the main water valve has worn out from over use. I called the appliance store and they said the machine is 8 years old so not fixable. It works great in every way except the water leaking. Sometimes there is a tiny amount of water on the floor under the machine.
1 Answer Suzanne, the water inlet valve is part number [WP8182862]. If the valve is allowing water to pass through even with the power disconnected, you will want to replace it. Read More...

Nate October 29, 2017 for Model Number GHW9400PL0 Getting f-h code. Replaced pressure switch, and inlet valves. It was overfilling and leaking and giving the f- h code intermittently. Checked the leveling and had to level it. Now it's level, and every time I'm getting the f-h code. Checked the flow meter and got resistance through it while I was blowing on it, off and on, I felt. When I plugged the flow meter back in was when it started giving the f-h code every time. Could I have put the flow meter and backwards, and what are my findings telling you?
1 Answer Nate, With the unit overflowing check to make sure that the pressure hose is not damaged or clogged in any way. If it is it will cause this issue. Also check to make sure that the drain filter is cleaned out. If all this checks ok then the issue will most likely be a faulty main control board. Read More...

1 Answer Hello Wendy. Check the wiring and the water coming to the unit. If all that is good, Next would be the pressure switch and then the board. Possible Causes / Procedure ¦ If there is no water in the unit: — Make sure that both valves at the water source(s) are turned on all the way. — Check for plugged or kinked inlet hoses or plugged screens in the inlet valves. — Verify inlet valve operation. ¦ If there is water in the unit: — Verify drain pump operation. — Verify that the pressure switch hose is in good condition and properly connected to tub and pressure switch. 1. Verify there is not a siphon problem. 2. Unplug washer or disconnect power. 3. Verify wire harness connections to inlet valves, pressure switch, drain pump, flow meter, and Central Control Unit (CCU). 4. Check all hoses for possible leaks. 5. Plug in washer or reconnect power. 6. Verify pressure switch operation. 7. Verify flow meter operation by blowing air through the part and measuring the resistance. 8. Verify CCU operation by running a Diagnostic test or any cycle. Read More...
Rochelle September 07, 2017 for Model Number GHW9160PW0 Why does my washer keep filling with water does not shut off it over flows. Don't know what part to replace thank you
1 Answer Hello Rochelle. If you can stop the water from entering the machine by turning off the timer or unplugging the unit, you will need to look for a bad pressure hose or replace the pressure switch. If the only way to shut off the water is at the shut off for the water hoses, you will need to replace the water valve in the unit. Read More...

2 Answers Oscar, With the pressure switch having been replaced and getting the F35 error code then this will most likely be caused by a faulty main control board. You should try to run the unit through a clean cycle to make sure that the unit is clean of suds and see if the error still pops up. If it does the main board will be the most likely cause.

Ed April 12, 2016 for Model Number GHW9300PW4 Getting the dreaded FH code. Water fills the drum half way then code comes on. I replaced the drain pump, but still get the FH code on any cycle. Do not get it on the rinse/drain which is what I normally do after I get the FH code. Considered the Flow Meter but this does not list on the tech sheet.
