9 YEARS later and this video is still helpful. Thanks y’all!

My daughter told me to look up how to repair my washer on You Tube since I was having issues with my Maytag washer. Well lo and behold, this video walked me through all the steps and I fixed my washer myself; and I am a 64 year old woman. Thank you for this video. Saved me $ I really couldn't afford to spend. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

My husband literally had no hope and thought our washer was kaput! He went out and bought a brand new washer, that is supposed to be here tomorrow I sent this video to him and he watched it and followed these instructions and we found $4.67 in change and some lint! Thank you for this video you just saved us a lot if money :)

Thank you so much! My fiancé wanted to buy a new washer but I found your video and instead a 30 min fix saved us hundreds of dollars !!

oh. my gosh..... just completed a full wash cycle with a large kitchen rug. I am so happy for this information and appreciate the very good instructions. Thank YOU!

THANK YOU! You just saved me time and $$ with a new baby and tons of laundry. That collection tray was PACKED with debris. Cleaned it out and it’s running like a charm. 😉

To all who cleaned the filter and still had issues. I cleaned filter several months ago and still had issues. Tonight, I removed the hose between the bottom of the tub and the inlet to the filter housing. Inside this black funnel shaped flexible hose I found 2 socks, lots of lint, a necklace, and a few bobby pins. That should do it!

Thought my washer was pooched. Thank you so much for this step by step video that helped drastically. Much appreciated.

I just want to say a big thank you for this video, it totally helped me out today! The vac was a brilliant idea! Big thumbs up!

Thank you so much!!!! I was battling this for awhile, given that i'm a new home owner ...and very new at taking care of my appliances. Just to get a grasp of the logic of this problem..... I'm lucky it was a simple clog from the pump. but you may want to consider that the pump motor is going out... as well... i'm no expert, but this video simply gave me an idea where to look and what to consider. Thank you again

Thank you for your video. Even though I have a different Maytag model, I was still able to follow the same steps to fix my washer.

Thanks ! I fixed it after watching the video . Could not put the bottom panel back for some reason . You also skipped the step.

This video saved me today. I did exactly what you said to do right down to the shop vac. It all worked perfectly and now my maytag can drain. Of course I got onto my husband for leaving his tile marking pencils in his work pants because that is what the drain was full of. Thank you Appliance Guys. You made me a very happy wife :D

Awesome. Thanks so much. We were going to go buy a new washer, this fixed the problem.

THANK YOU for this!! It really helped us figure out the easiest part - how to take the front panel off! AND of course, fix the error.

Thanks for this video - I have the same model & I was able to get my machine up and running. I found numerous coins, hairpins, toothpicks, and more.

Thank You! Fixed. Just Thank you. I will save video so I have a link for parts at any point. 😊

Thank You so much!!

Thanks to you, I was able to fix my machine, and I really appreciate it! I was shocked to find 9 face masks and 1 reusable absorbent pad clogging the drain!

you save a couple of hundreds. tks a lot. a fix mine in 20 min..

Erica F9 E1 means that the washer isn't draining properly. There is a drain catch inside the washer that you will want to access and clean if you're getting this drain error. To access the drain catch, lean the machine backwards and lean it against the wall at a 45 degree angle or so. Remove the 3 screws along the bottom of the lower front panel. The lower front panel will pull down and off. There is a 3" diameter plastic twist cap directly under the tub mounted to the floor.

Many thanks

Saved me I have the same model I found about 10.00 in change and a couple IDs in the catcher

This helped me drian the filter which was plugged. Now its giving me a different code "f1 56" Did I bump something? Can you show or walk me through accessing the control panel? Id like to disconnect and reconnect it to see if it helps. Thank you so much! This video is old I know my chances for a reply are really slim but its worth the shot. Thanks!

Dear AV- I got the F9E1 message, and I followed all the steps in your video. After removing the obstructions at the pump, my washer still refuses to drain! What should be my next step? Thanks

Awesome! Thank you so much for this! I have question, it may or may not be obvious, but how do I go about cleaning out the water from the shop vac? I don't want to ruin it or anything haha Thanks again for this video!

do you have a video on replacing the entire drain pump assembly for this particular washer? or a similar front load washer?

has anyone had this problem with the newer year washer that does not have the front panel that detaches. Mine is a little over a year old and has no lower access panel but is having the same issue. Thanks

I've tried as you've outlined and the cycle ran further than before but then eventually gave me F9E1 again. Should I repeat in the chance more debris was pushed along the "line" to create a new clog? any chance its in the hose on the back?

I have a Maytag Intellisense front load washing machine. If after cleaning the filter and sump hose between the drum and the pump and if the not draining issue still exist, check if there is a float switch in the bottom pen when you take the back cover off (it's in the middle of the bottom and two wires going to it). If there is water in the bottom pen the float switch (usually a Styrofoam disk) will rise pushing the little micro switch above it and shutting the drain pump off. The code will tell -not draining (they should have had a a separate code for the float switch) and you go like crazy taking everything apart except looking at this switch. Sometimes there is a slight leak and when enough water accumulates under this switch you can't even see it because the disk covers it, but it's enough for it to rise and to press the micro switch to shut the pump off prompting the machine to send the no drain code. (stupid, there should be a separate code for float switch). So, before you start taking everything a part, check the float switch by taking the back panel off. If you can't get to it in a couple of days there might be a chance the water dries out and the machine will work until the dimple where the float switch sits in fills again.

Hi i was given a Maytag Neptune front loader. For some reason it is leaving al my clothes soaked. What can be the problem and can i do it myself?

Hello. I'm having same problem with my Maytag Front Load washer. I'm a new home owner and it a brand new washer. After the washer complete its washing cycle, the cloth will still be very wet and dripping water. The only problem is that its not showing me drain pump error (F9E1) or any error message at all. What do you think?

My washer is the newer model it doesn't have the front panel. Could somebody PLEASE tell me where I find the pump filter?

How do I get the bottom off? -- I have the exact same model as in the video.

My model does not have a separate part on the bottom, its a full front door. How would I access the drain catch please? Its a Maytag Maxima series front load washer.

mines empty but still throws code every wash, even tryed replacing pump, still wont drain, only way i get it to drain is once it starts beeping, i disconnect power from wall plug back in, then put it on rinse and drain cycle and it will finish load then, have to do this every load, any ideas?

Followed the instructions to the "T" and found a hair curler, a baby sock, and a plastic stick. smh! The error was a F21 error code on a maytag 4000 series

Ok, I can do that but the first step was skipped. How do you open the locked door?

I would've clamped the drain hose with hose pinch pliers at the back of the trap to minimize the water spill and save some time, bu that just me so pay no attention meh!

Hello, I am having the same issue, won't drain I take the cover off and drain the water, no objects in the pump..........I even bought a new pump and same old issue. But seems to work after I drain the water...........atleats for 2--3 loads, then it won't work. ''NO DRAIN, WONT DO NUTTIN BUT I HEAR THE PUMP RUNING......LIKE IT LOOSES DRAIN PRIME. ?????????

I purchased this washer and dryer 7 months ago and the washer broke. Matag/whirlpool will not fix them as they have abandoned the parts and the model. They will replace my washer but not the dryer so after 7 months I have mismatched appliances. Do not trust Matag or whirlpool to do the right thing.

I’m thinking about doing away with this stupid catch 😅
