Troubleshooting

Common Maytag Faults We Fix

Tap an appliance to see the problems we see most, what usually causes them, and what you can safely try before you call.

Maytag Fridge Repair

Not cooling, leaks, ice-maker faults or loud fans.

Maytag fridges use PowerCold for fast cooling and FreshLock crispers to keep food fresh, and many are built with Strongbox door hinges for heavy use.

Common faults

  • Fridge warm while the freezer stays cold
  • Water pooling under the crisper drawers
  • The dispenser not working
  • Ice maker frozen over or not dropping ice
  • Fan noise that grows louder over time

What usually causes it

  • A frosted-over evaporator coil
  • A blocked or frozen defrost drain
  • A door seal that no longer closes tightly
  • An iced-up ice maker that needs a reset
  • An overdue water filter affecting the dispenser

What you can try yourself

  • Check the doors seal properly and nothing holds them open
  • Clear internal vents and keep the fridge off the wall
  • Replace the water filter if it is overdue
  • Run PowerCold, then reset the ice maker with its feeler arm or reset button

Leave the sealed system and wiring to a technician. If it still will not cool, we can diagnose it on site and usually fix it in one visit.

Maytag Washer Repair

Won't drain or spin, error codes, leaks or shaking.

Maytag washers use the PowerWash cycle and an Extra Power button for tough loads, with Advanced Vibration Control to steady the spin.

Common faults

  • Will not drain or spin
  • Codes such as F, E or Sd (suds)
  • Leaks around the door or dispenser
  • A drum that bangs or walks on spin
  • Long cycles or a cycle that will not advance

What usually causes it

  • A clogged drain pump or hose
  • Too much detergent creating suds (Sd)
  • An unbalanced or overloaded drum
  • A lid switch or door lock not registering
  • Inlet hoses or taps restricting the water

What you can try yourself

  • Clean the drain pump filter if your model has an access panel
  • Use less high-efficiency detergent to clear Sd
  • Level the machine and balance the load
  • Check the inlet hoses and taps are open and unkinked

Leave the motor, transmission and control board to us. If a code keeps returning, we can find the cause and repair it.

Maytag Dryer Repair

No heat, long dry times, won't start or noisy.

Maytag dryers use Advanced Moisture Sensing and an Extra Power button for stubborn loads, with a Sanitize cycle on many models.

Common faults

  • No heat at all
  • Very long drying times
  • Will not start or stops partway
  • A drum that squeals or thumps
  • Clothes still damp when the cycle ends

What usually causes it

  • A lint-clogged filter or vent
  • A blocked or crushed exhaust duct
  • Moisture sensor bars coated in residue
  • A worn drum roller, belt or idler
  • A thermal fuse tripped by restricted airflow

What you can try yourself

  • Clean the lint filter before every load
  • Clear the vent and exhaust duct
  • Wipe the moisture-sensor bars inside the drum
  • Check the exhaust flap outside opens freely

Leave the heating element, motor and wiring to a technician, and stop using a gas dryer if you suspect a gas fault. If it still will not heat or dry, we can sort it out.

Maytag Dishwasher Repair

Won't drain, leaks, error lights or poor cleaning.

Maytag dishwashers use the PowerBlast cycle and Dual Power filtration with a stainless-steel chopper to handle stuck-on food.

Common faults

  • Standing water that will not drain
  • Leaks onto the floor
  • Dishes coming out dirty or still wet
  • Flashing lights or a beeping code
  • A door that will not latch

What usually causes it

  • A clogged filter or drain hose
  • Spray arms blocked with food or hard-water scale
  • A drain issue or stuck check valve
  • A door latch or seal problem
  • A supply issue starving it of water

What you can try yourself

  • Rinse the filter at the bottom of the tub
  • Clear the spray-arm holes of debris and scale
  • Check the drain hose is not kinked and the sink drain is clear
  • Run a cleaning cycle to cut grease and limescale

Leave the pump, drain valve and control board to us. If it still will not drain or clean, we can find the fault and fix it in one visit.

Maytag Stove Repair

Burner or element won't heat, sparking or control faults.

Maytag cooktops come in gas, radiant and induction, with a high-output Power burner and a dual or triple ring element on many models for flexible heat.

Common faults

  • A gas burner that will not light or keeps clicking
  • An element that will not heat or heats unevenly
  • An induction zone that will not recognise a pan or cuts out
  • Cracked ceramic glass
  • Unresponsive controls or knobs

What usually causes it

  • A dirty or wet igniter and burner cap on gas models
  • A failed element, switch or infinite control on radiant models
  • Cookware that is not induction-compatible, or a zone protecting itself from overheating
  • Controls confused by spills or moisture

What you can try yourself

  • On gas, dry the burner caps, seat them correctly and clean the ports
  • On induction, try a pan you know is induction-ready
  • Keep the glass clean and dry
  • Wipe controls and knobs to clear spills

Do not attempt gas-line, wiring or internal repairs yourself; leave these to a qualified technician. If the burner or element still will not behave, we can diagnose and repair it.

Maytag Oven Repair

Won't heat, wrong temperature, door or control faults.

Maytag ovens use Power Preheat and the Precision Cooking System for even results, with convection and Air Fry on many models.

Common faults

  • Will not heat or is slow to reach temperature
  • Baking that is uneven or off from the set temperature
  • A convection fan that is noisy or not running
  • A door that will not close or lock
  • A panel that freezes or throws a code

What usually causes it

  • A failed bake or convection element
  • A temperature sensor reading wrong so the oven never settles
  • A worn door seal or hinge letting heat escape
  • Control faults after a power surge or an overheated self-clean cycle

What you can try yourself

  • Check the door closes fully and the seal is intact
  • Use an oven thermometer to see how far off the temperature is
  • Reset the oven at the breaker if the panel has locked up
  • Use the AquaLift steam clean option for light jobs where fitted

Leave the element wiring, sensor and control board to a technician. If the oven still will not hold temperature, we can measure it, find the fault and repair it.
