In Canada www.maytag.ca for assistance and to possibly avoid a service call.
Possible Causes
Clogged dispensers or laundry
products dispensing too soon.
Liquid chlorine bleach not used in
bleach compartment.
Water in dispenser after cycle has
finished.
Adding laundry packet incorrectly.
Normal washer operation.
Excessive suds in washer.
Load may be out of balance.
Not using correct cycle for load type.
Do not overfill dispenser. Overfilling causes immediate dispensing.
Load dispensers before starting a cycle.
Homes with low water pressure may result in residual powder in the
dispenser. To avoid, select a warmer wash temperature if possible,
depending on your load.
Use only liquid chlorine bleach in the bleach compartment.
It is normal for small amounts of water to remain in dispenser at the
end of the cycle.
Be sure laundry packet is added to washer drum before adding
clothes. Do not add packet to dispenser. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions to avoid damage to your garments.
The cycle times vary automatically based on your water pressure,
water temperature, detergent, and clothes load. The options you
select will also affect the cycle times.
When excessive suds are detected, a special suds routine
automatically starts to remove extra suds and ensure proper rinsing
of your garments. This routine will add time to the original cycle.
When load unbalance occurs, a washing process will start to
redistribute the load. This may lengthen the cycle time. Avoid
washing single items. Balance a single item such as a rug or jeans
jacket with a few extra items.
The Rapid Wash cycle is designed for smaller load sizes
(3–4 items) of lightly soiled garments. If larger loads are
washed in this cycle, cycle time will be increased.
When using the Rapid Wash or Delicates cycles, you should wash
small loads. This ensures a gentle wash for your garments without
increasing cycle times.
