Oh my goodness! I just fixed my washer by following this video. I’m 68 and a grey-haired old lady with limited vision but I did it!!!!!! I figured I had nothing to lose by trying ( I’m big on trying new things) and if I failed I’d call a repairman. Thank you SOOOOOOO much! You just saved me $$$$$$!

Fixed it with your help! THANK YOU very much. We had barely any corrosion on those contacts, but scrubbed them clean and voila! A tip for all your viewers - Maytag's instruction booklet says to keep the lid OPEN after washing until the basket is dry. We never did that, until now of course. That dampness probably contributed to the corrosion.

I'm glad I could help! Yes, leaving the lid open will help with the moisture!

I couldn’t find that little slot where you clean of the corrosion but I used my hair blow dryer to take out all the dirt/dust. I left my house for 2 months but my washing machine felt like it was 3 years and wouldn’t turn on. That fixed and and you saved me time/money. Awesome🎉

I just had a bad storm here last week. Thought it might have fried my washer, but I tried this, and it worked! It wasn't really dirty in mine, but did it anyways. So either that, or possibly unhooking the power and putting that plug back in place fixed my issue. Thank you!

@@DuctTapeMechanic But now I keep getting the FL code. Which wasn't ever happening before. My washer will fill up, then stop, flash FL and drain, then shut off. I tried running the diagnostics, but from the code it gave me, it says the washer load is too much, even though there aren't that much clothes inside. I'm stumped. From what I've been seeing, I guess it means I need a water inlet valve replacement, even though that hasn't been an issue until all this happened. Any advice on what the actual issue might be?

Thank u exactly what was wrong with mine. Had for about 18 months and went to do laundry today and wouldn’t turn on. To a non experienced person all this took about 45min- 1hr. Trickiest part is when u take screws out and pull the top forward u need to wiggle back about 1/4 inch to undo the clips.I paused the video and looked which way the hooks were. Video is excellent

@DuctTapeMechanic Жыл бұрын

More then likely the corrosion is somewhere else on the interface board sometimes they have to be taken all the way apart and cleaned. Is the machine throwing any codes? If the control board is flashing green light it is most likely ok.
