Can only get cold water no hot or wormwater
For model number A512
PartSelect logo
Hi Dan, Thank you for your question. If the washer is not filling with either hot or warm water, there are some parts that you will need to check to see which one is causing the issue. You will need to check the inlet hoses and screens, the water inlet valve, the lid switch, the selector or water temperature switch, the water level pressure switch and the timer. Here is a link from our website that you may reference on how to test the parts, https://www.partselect.com/Repair/Washer/No-Hot-Cold-Water/. You should also make sure that the hot water tap is open all the way and that there is adequate water pressure for the hot water. We hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day.

Why's my washer shaking bad
For model number A512
PartSelect logo
Hi Dan, thank you for reaching out. Based on our research, the issue is probably with the damper pad kit, part number PS2017036. Before replacing it, we would suggest checking the suspension springs and making sure that the load is distributed evenly in the washer. We hope this sorts out your problem!

Cold water valve only opened to a trickle
I started by unplugging the appliance and then shut off the hot and cold water faucets then I disconnected and drained the hoses. Next, I removed the two screws that held the valve assembly in place. I then pulled the assembly out about 3 inches and disconnected the two wire plugs. The last step was to loosen the hose clamp on the outlet hose and pull off the outlet hose. I reversed the steps to install the new assembly and the total repair took about 10 minutes.

Drum would not drain and there was a banging noise when the drum spun
I removed the 2 phillips screws on the bottom of the front panel. Then checked around to find the belts were actually below the floor panel.
I pulled the washing machine away from the wall and tilted it bacwards and found the pump belt was off the pully and the drive belt was badly damaged. I replaced the 2 belts which took no tools and about 3 minutes to accomplish then resecured the front panel, pushed back in place and leveled. Complete repair from diagnosis to back in operation took less than 15 minutes.

water leaking from around center shaft below fixed tub
My washer is 5 years old and water began to leak on the floor. I took off the front panel and filled the tub. Water did not leak immediately, but after the tub filled with about 3-4 inches of water, the water began to leak from a rubber washer between the fixed tub and the drive shaft. I looked online for exploded diagrams of Maytag washers, when I came across your site. By looking at your diagrams, I determined what parts I needed and ordered them. The parts arrived in 2 days, and I installed them. There were no leaks and it cost me under $70 (a repairman would have cost at least $250). The only thing I would recommend to those in similar situations, is to purchase a spanner wrench (your site does not sell, but others do). The stem seal and hub assembly is reverse threaded (clockwise to loosen) and is difficult to remove due to tight quarters in the tub.
