The Maytag Neptune washer troubleshooting guidance is created to give a clear idea about what the normal operation of the washing machine is, as well as about what happens in case of an error. For example, due the sound of the motor, you can understand the problem. Below, there is the detailed list of indicators.
Load is Too Wet at End of Cycle | • Use Max Extract option. • Try using a high efficiency detergent to reduce sudsing. • Load is too small.Very small loads (one or two items) may become unbalanced and not spin out completely. • Load is too large.Very large loads may not spin out completely |
Leaks Water | • Make sure hose connections are tight. • Make sure end of drain hose is correctly inserted and secured to drain facility. • If there is a drain restriction, call for service. • Avoid overloading. • Use high efficiency detergent to prevent over-sudsing |
Won't Spin or Drain | • Check fuse or reset circuit breaker. • Straighten drain hoses. Eliminate kinked hoses. If there is a drain restriction, call for service. • Open and close the lid and push the Start/Pause pad. For your safety, washer will not tumble or spin unless the lid is closed. • After pressing the Start/Pause pad, it may take up to one minute before the clothes wash- er begins to spin.The lid must lock before spin can be achieved |
Stops | • Plug cord into live electrical outlet. • Check fuse or reset circuit breaker. • Open and close lid and push the Start/Pause pad to start the clothes washer. For your safety, washer will not tumble or spin unless lid is closed. • There may be a pause or soak period in the cycle. Wait briefly and it may start. • The washer is equipped with a lid switch failure detector. If the lid switch should malfunc- tion, the detector will stop operation for your safety. Call for service. • Check screens on inlet hoses at the faucets for obstructions. Clean screens periodically, especially if you have new water lines or hard water. |
Tub is Completely Full of Suds | • Run the clothes washer through another complete cycle using cold water and no detergent. • Reduce detergent amount for that specific load size, soil level and water hardness. • Use high efficiency or low sudsing detergent specially formulated for high-efficiency washers. |
Fills with the Wrong Temperature Water | • Turn both faucets on fully. • Make sure temperature selection is correct. • Make sure hoses are connected to correct faucets. Flush water lines. • Check the home's water heater. It should be set to deliver a minimum 120°F (49°C) hot water at the tap. Also check water heater capacity and recovery rate • Disconnect hoses and clean screens. Hose filter screens may be plugged. • When warm rinse is selected, only the final rinse will be warm.The other rinses will be cold to conserve energy. • As the washer is filling, the water temperature may change as the automatic temperature control feature checks incoming water temperature. This is normal. |
Won't Fill | • Be sure the lid is closed. • Plug cord into a live electrical outlet. • Check fuse or reset circuit breaker. • Press the Start/Pause pad. • Turn both faucets on fully. • Straighten inlet hoses. • Disconnect hoses and clean screens at faucets. Hose filter screens may be plugged. • Open and close the lid, then push the Start/Pause pad |
Won't Tumble | • Check fuse or reset circuit breaker. • Open and close the lid and press the Start/Pause pad. For your safety, the clothes washer will not tumble or spin unless the lid is closed. • Some cycles are designed to tumble and then pause.This is normal |
Lid Locked Shut; Will Not Open | • Press the Start/Pause pad to stop the washer. • It may take up to two minutes for the lid lock mechanism to disengage. • A locked lid may not unlock during a power outage |
Is Noisy | • Clothes washer should be leveled properly and sitting on a solid floor as outlined in installa- tion instructions. • Check that the leveling leg lock nuts are tightened. • Be sure rubber feet are installed on leveling legs. • Weak floors can cause vibration and walking. • The load may be unbalanced. |
Normal operating sounds
High pitched sound during a spin cycle | The motor increases speed to spin the tub to remove moisture from the load |
"Whirring" sound followed by a pause, repeated throughout the wash cycle. | On some cycles, the tumbling stops and the washer pauses during the cleaning process |
Clothes washer maintains a slightly reduced spin speed after achieving a higher spin speed. | After reaching the maximum spin speed, the machine may reduce spin speed slightly for maximum performance |
The spin speed slows down dramati- cally when it sounds like an out-of-balance load | The tumbler will begin to accelerate to speed, then slows back down and tumbles to redistribute the load more evenly when an unbalanced load occurs |
Water is added after the washer has been washing for a while | The Maytag Neptune clothes washer uses a true adaptive fill and adds more water during the wash cycle as it is needed. or Water flows through the dispensers to dilute and add bleach or fabric softener at the appropriate time.This will occur even if bleach and fabric softener are not used. |
Clicking/draining sounds when washer is started | Before the washer starts to fill, it will make a clicking noise to lock the lid and do a quick drain. |

Problem | Solution |
---|---|
Will Not Start | Plug cord into live electrical outlet. Check for proper voltage. |
Check fuse or reset circuit breaker. | |
Push any key to turn on the clothes washer. Push the rotary selector knob to start the washer. | |
Close door and push the rotary selector knob to start the clothes washer. | |
Check to see if the washer is in a pause or soak period in the cycle. Wait briefly for machine to start. (If washer is in suds period, “SUDs” will display instead of remaining time. | |
Check for restricted drain system. During an electrical drain problem, “nd” error will occur after 15 minutes. | |
Check water supply is working. | |
Check water valve connections are good. | |
Check the line filter and water valve filter. | |
Check the machine control board terminal connections CN5, CN6 for good connections. | |
Replace console control board. | |
Leaking | Make sure inlet hose connections are not leaking. Check for rubber gasket damage due to over-tightening. |
Check standpipe for leak. Wrap a dry rag around the standpipe opening. If rag becomes wet, leak is fault of home plumbing. Be sure the standpipe is capable of accepting the flow of water from the washer. | |
Make sure end of drain hose is correctly inserted and secured to drain standpipe. | |
Check internal hose connections (fill, drain systems, dispenser hoses & clamps). | |
Check rubber boot. Remove, reposition and reinstall, if necessary. | |
Check for possible kinked dispenser to outer tub hose. Hot water pressurization may force door open. |
|
No Tumble | Start normal cycle with an empty machine and allow a fill to check tumble. |
Perform Board Output Test, or Quick Spin Test (Before test, make sure that the tumbler is empty.) | |
Check for loose connections at Machine Control Board, Pressure Switch, Motor, Tach Harness and Motor Control. | |
Check motor windings resistance. (CN9 pins 1 &3 = 11.6ohms(±7% 20°C/68°F basis), pins 1 & 2 = 11.6ohms(±7%20°C/68°F basis), Pin2 & 3 = 11.6 ohms (±7% 20°C/68°Fbasis) | |
Check belt | |
Faulty Main Control Board | |
Faulty motor | |
Will Not Spin | Check to make sure the door is fully closed. |
Check for water left inside the washer. If present, see Will Not Drain. | |
Perform Board Output Test or Quick Spin Test. (Before test, make sure that the tumbler is empty.) If it doesn’t tumble after the test above, check unbalanced load scenario, Main Control Board, and motor. | |
Check for loose connections at Machine Control Board, Pressure Switch, Motor, Tach Harness and Motor Control. (CN8, CN9, CN3) | |
Check motor winding resistance (CN9 pins 1&3=11.6ohms ±7%@68F, pins 1&2=11.6ohms ±7%@68F, pins 2&3=11.6ohms. ±7%@68F. | |
Tub Full of Suds | Check for restricted drain system. See Will Not Drain and Will Not Spin. |
Check for loose wire connections at Control Board and pump. | |
Perform Board Output Test | |
Use high efficiency or low sudsing detergent specially formulated for front load washers | |
Reduce detergent amount for that specific load size and soil level. Towel loads have a minimal amount of soil present and typically create more suds. | |
Run the clothes washer through another complete cycle using the coldest water, tablespoon of salt and no detergent. | |
Wet Clothes | Very small clothes loads can cause unbalanced loads. Add additional towels. |
Excessive suds may have been present, due to not using High-Efficiency detergent. Reduce amount of detergent usage. | |
See Will Not Spin. | |
Low Spin Speed or Drain Only was selected. | |
Will Not Drain | Check for restricted drain system |
In cold climates check for frozen drain hose | |
Check for 120 VAC at the pump when a spin cycle is selected | |
Check pump motor winding resistance. (14.2 ±7% ohms) | |
Check that the machine control correctly senses the water level in the washer. | |
Go to Board Output Test and perform Pump Out Test | |
Check the Machine Control Board connections at CN10 (Pin 6) for the pump. Should see 110-120VAC. | |
Check tub to pump hose for twist in hose | |
Wrong Water Temperature | Check that both faucets are turned on fully. |
Make sure water heater is set to deliver a minimum of 120°F (49°C) hot water at the tap. Also check water heater capacity and recovery rate. | |
If the water heater is located a long distance from washer, the water line may need to be purged prior to starting wash cycle. | |
Too Hot/Too Cold: This washer uses a reduced amount of water, while the control board meters the incoming flow to regulate the actual temperature of the water in the tub. This may appear to be significantly warmer/cooler than expected. | |
Make sure the temperature selection is correct. | |
Disconnect inlet hoses from the Water Valve and clean the valve screens of any debris. | |
Noisy and/or Vibration/Walking | Check if the washer was properly leveled and the locking nuts are securely tightened up against the base frame of the washer. |
Check and determine all four of the shipping bolts and spacers have been fully removed from the rear panel of the washer. | |
Check for proper load size and distribution. If clothes load is too small, add a few towels to balance the clothes load better. | |
Check the tightness of the rear pulley bolt. Tighten if necessary. | |
Clean floor and bottom side of washer feet. Check clearance. | |
Rubber Feet Leaving Marks on Floor | Use a pencil eraser to remove mark. |
Walk washer into location, do not drag. | |
Additive Cups Full of Water | Small amount of water in bottom of additive cups is normal. |
Remove and wash Dispenser Tray, removable Cup, and Rinse Cap. |
|
Level washer. | |
Buttons do not Respond | Option and Function buttons respond differently according to each cycle. |
Child Lock feature has been selected. To disable feature press and hold Wash/Rinse Temp and Spin Speed simultaneously until a beep is heard. | |

Maytag Bravos xl washer troubleshooting
If you experience | Possible Causes | Solution |
---|---|---|
Vibration, rocking, or “walking” | Feet may not be in contact with the floor and locked. | Front and rear feet must be in firm contact with floor, and washer must be level to operate properly. Jam nuts must be tight against the bottom of the cabinet. |
Washer may not be level. | Check floor for flexing or sagging. If flooring is uneven, a 3/4" (19 mm) piece of plywood under your washer will reduce sound. | |
Vibration during spinning or washer stopped with UL error code flashing | Load could be unbalanced. | Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the wash plate. Do not load garments directly over the center of the wash plate. Adding wet items to washer or adding more water to basket could unbalance washer. |
Avoid washing single items. Balance a single item such as a rug or jacket with a few extra items. If the uL error code is flashing, redistribute the load, close the lid, and press START/PAUSE. | ||
Use Bulky cycle for oversized, non-absorbent items such as comforters or poly-filled jackets. Other items are not appropriate for Bulky cycle. | ||
Item or load not suitable for selected cycle. | ||
Clicking or metallic noises | Objects caught in washer drain system. | Empty pockets before washing. Loose items such as coins could fall between basket and tub or may block pump. It may be necessary to call for service to remove items. |
It is normal to hear metal items on clothing such as metal snaps, buckles, or zippers touch against the stainless steel basket. | ||
Gurgling or humming | Washer may be draining water. | It is normal to hear the pump making a continuous humming sound with periodic gurgling or surging as final amounts of water are removed during the Drain & Spin cycles. |
Check the following for proper installation: | Washer not level. | Water may splash off basket if washer is not level. |
Fill hoses not attached tightly. | Tighten fill-hose connection. | |
Fill hose washers. | Make sure all four fill hose flat washers are properly seated. | |
Drain hose connection. | Pull drain hose from washer cabinet and properly secure it to drainpipe or laundry tub. | |
Do not place tape over drain opening. | ||
Check household plumbing for leaks or clogged sink or drain. | Water can back up out of a clogged sink or drainpipe. Check all household plumbing for leaks (laundry tubs, drain pipe, water pipes, and faucets.) | |
Washer not loaded as recommended. | An unbalanced load can cause basket to be out of alignment and cause water to splash off tub. | |
Not enough water in washer | Load not completely covered in water. | This is normal operation for an HE low-water washer. The load will not be completely under water. The washer senses load sizes and adds correct amount of water for optimal cleaning. The added water lifts the load off the washplate, resulting in less cleaning. |
Washer won’t run or fill, washer stops working | Check for proper water supply. | Both hoses must be attached and have water flowing to inlet valve. |
Both hot and cold water faucets must be turned on. | ||
Check that inlet valve screens have not become clogged. | ||

Washer not draining/ spinning, loads are still wet | Empty pockets and use garment bags for small items. | Small items may have been caught in pump or between basket and tub, which can slow draining. |
Using cycles with a lower spin speed. | Cycles with lower spin speeds remove less water than cycles with high spin speeds. Use the recommended cycle/speed spin for your garment. | |
Washer may be tightly packed or unbalanced. | Tightly packed loads may not allow the washer to spin correctly, leaving the load wetter than normal. Evenly arrange the wet load for balanced spinning. Select RINSE/DRAIN & SPIN to remove excess water. | |
Check plumbing for correct drain hose installation. Drain hose extends into standpipe farther than 4.5" (114 mm). | Check drain hose for proper installation. Use drain hose form and securely attach to drainpipe or tub. Do not tape over drain opening. Lower drain hose if the end is higher than 96" (2.4 m) above the floor. Remove any clogs from drain hose. | |
Not using HE detergent or using too much HE detergent. | Suds from regular detergent or using too much detergent can slow or stop draining or spinning. Use only HE detergent. Always measure and follow detergent directions for your load. To remove extra suds, select RINSE/DRAIN & SPIN. Do not add detergent. | |
Incorrect or wrong wash or rinse temperatures | Check for proper water Supply. | Make sure hot and cold inlet hoses are not reversed. |
Both hoses must be attached to both washer and faucet, and have both hot and cold water flowing to inlet valve. | ||
Check that inlet valve screens are not clogged. | ||
Remove any kinks in hoses. | ||

Load not rinsed | Check for proper water supply. | Make sure hot and cold inlet hoses are not reversed. |
Both hoses must be attached and have water flowing to the inlet valve. | ||
Both hot and cold water faucets must be on. | ||
Inlet valve screens on washer may be clogged. | ||
Remove any kinks in the inlet hose. | ||
Not using HE detergent or using too much HE detergent. | The suds from regular detergent can cause the washer to operate incorrectly. | |
Use only HE detergent. Be sure to measure correctly. | ||
Always measure detergent and follow detergent directions based on load size and soil level. | ||
Odors | Clean washer maintenance not done as recommended. | Run the Clean Washer with afresh* cycle after every 30 washes. |
Unload washer as soon as cycle is complete. | ||
Not using HE detergent or using too much HE detergent. | Use only HE detergent. Be sure to measure correctly. | |
Always follow the detergent directions. | ||
