Jim December 01, 2014 for Model Number MTW5740TQ0 Started a cycle and washer filled with water. It did nothing else. Turned the dial and there is no clicking sound when the dial is turned. I was expecting a bad timer. Your advise please.
1 Answer Hello Jim. Based on the information you provided, you will need to order and replace the lid switch WP8318084 on the unit. Read More...
Joe D. June 15, 2014 for Model Number Maytag MTW5840TW0 My washer does not work on the heavy portion of the Normal cycle. If set on 9 minutes it agitates for 4 or 5 minutes then soaks until the rinse cycle. Does this sound right? My issue is that when i i set the timer to the 18 or 15 minute cycle, it just agitiates forever. Does not go to soak then rinse. What do you think is the issue?
1 Answer Hello Joe, This sounds like you have a bad set of contacts in the timer WPW10111389. This could also be related to the automatic temperature control switch WP8578335. Read More...
Jim L. July 31, 2013 for Model Number mtw5700TQ0 Our Maytag fills up on the wash cycle and then stops the cycle. Agitator does not start. I replaced the timer. same problem. Note if I slam the lid, it will continue the agitator starts up and it runs through the comlete cycle. I replaced the timer because it seamed like that was the problem from past experience.
1 Answer Hello Jim, This sounds like the lid switch (AP3180933) has either failed or some parts in the assembly have come loose, not allowing the lid switch not to be activated. The first thing you should do is open the lid and make sure the two screws on the far left side of the lid that holds the hinge assembly to the lid are tight. If they are tight, you will need to replace the lid switch. Read More...
Eggman December 31, 2012 for Model Number MTW5770TQ0 When the final rinse cycle is entered, the water fills the tub and overflows, does not shut off. To complete the wash without overflowing, the water was must be manually shut off or the timer must be turned back to the spin cycle prior to the rinse cycle and when the rinse cycle is entered again, the it's okay. This is an intermittent problem, does not occur on every wash, happens about every fifth wash. Timer, water level pressure valve, or ???
1 Answer EggMan, Yes, your first checks need to be at the water level switch W10339251 and hose. If the hose is twisted, kinked or clogged with deposits it can restrict the air flow to thee switch and cause the washer to overfill in the latter part of a cycle, or intermittently. Read More...
Alex November 29, 2012 for Model Number MVWC500VW1 Hi, my washer is not filling with water - when I start the cycle, it's immediately starting agitating. If I fill it manually with water it works, and drains the water, but for the rinse I have to fill it with water again. When it's spinning the cold water IS coming from the valve. And it doesn't stop at the end of the cycle - it's going on for the extra rinse, and further. I've replace the water inlet valve, but it didn't help. What is it most likely? The timer, or the temperature sensor, or pressure sensor, or anything else - the best guess?
1 Answer Hello Alex, The unit should not agitate until the water level has been satisfied. You may want to check your hose for the pressure switch to make sure that it is not clogged causing the unit to sense that the water level has been satisfied. If the hose or the air dome on the side of the tub are clear then you would want to replace the pressure switch W10339251. If the unit is going to the extra rinse cycle without being selected then you need to check the switch. In the off position it should not have continuity. Only continuity when closed. If closed when off then you would need to replace the extra rinse switch WPW10168262. If the switch is good then you would need to replace timer WPW10111389. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Monique October 27, 2012 for Model Number Maytag model # MTW5870TW0 I have a Maytag washer, when I turn it on it fills to proper level of water ,but when it's ready to wash it hums.when I turn the dial to spin ,it spins fine. Can it be my timer ?
1 Answer Monique, Yes, it is most likely the timer WPW10111389. You may have a loose connection in the wiring harness connector block, but i's more likely a faulty contact in the timer. Thanks Read More...
Fatboygsd October 14, 2012 for Model Number MT5740TQ0 HI, I HAVE A MAYTAG WASHING MACHINE MODEL MTW5740TQ0 WHEN IT GETS TO THE SPIN CYCLE IT ONLY HUMS BUT IF I TURN THE DIAL ALL THE WAY AROUND AGAIN TO SPIN THEN IT SPINS FINE. COULD THIS BE IN THE TIMER SWITCH OR SOMEWHERE ELSE. THANKS FR YOUR TIME AND HELP. FATBOYGSD
1 Answer Fatboy, You're on track, Based on the post description, you most likely have a "sticky" contact inside the time WPW10111389. When you turn the timer dial, you make and break the contacts inside and they make proper contact and the washer resumes proper operation. Read More...

Hayjoe July 02, 2012 for Model Number mtw5600tq1 Just put on new timer. Unit keeps filling with water - doesn't stop at load size.
1 Answer Hello Hayjoe! Sounds like the pressure switch or inlet valve is failing. A good way to verify which part is failing is by doing the following test: Start a cycle and let the washer start to fill with water. Unplug the unit. If the unit continues to run, the inlet valve WP8578343 is at fault. If the unit stops filling with water you will need to check the pressure switch hose running from the switch to the tub to make sure it is not kinked or clogged. If the hose is ok you will need to replace the pressure switch, part number W10339251. Hope this information helps you, thanks! Read More...
Kristina May 29, 2012 for Model Number 5740TQO My washer machine is Maytag. It takes the water it washing the clothes and when is time to change the water, the water isn't gowing out. What's wrong with it. Please help me.
1 Answer Hello Kristina. If the unit is not spining or draining out the water, you will need to test the lid switch assembly WP8318084 and see if it is broke or bad. It should read closed with the lid closed. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.
