I get a "grinding" loud sound when water is being sprayed into the tub such as during startup and rinse. In one use, it went from no unusual noise to this noise which is loud enough to almost drown out the normal sounds. No problem codes. No unusual sounds elsewhere in the cycles. We are still using it when necessary as it functions correctly for now.

Hello Walt, Thank you for the question. The grinding noise is normally caused by a defective Pump, and it may need to be replaced. We hope this helps!

My start button sometimes takes alot of tries to get it to start. Is this covered by warranty? Is it the control board? Thanks
For model number MHW5500FW0

Hi Kevin, Thank you for your question. If it is just the start button that you are having an issue with, then you will need to replace the control panel, part number W10911042. To verify if you are under warranty with your washer, you will need to contact the manufacturer. If you are not covered under warranty, you may order it either online on our website or by calling our customer service line and anyone will be happy to assist you. We hope this helps! If you have any questions, please let us know.

Keeps throwing codes e05 /eo2
For model number MHW5500FW0
PartSelect logo
Hi John, thank you for your question. The E02 error code means you have a blockage or a problem with your water inlet valve. The E05 error code means there is an issue with the water temperature sensor at the back of your appliance. Good luck with your repair.

Machine making a funny noise when spinning. Sounds like a belt wearing but i do not think this machine has one. If it is like my old front loader is had a direct drive.
For model number MHW5500FW0

Hi Deb, thank you for your question. Yes, you are correct. Your appliance does not have a belt, it is powered by a stator and rotor assembly. It could be that the bearing inside of your rear outer tub might be the issue. That or it could be the stator and rotor themselves. Good luck with your repair.

Scratches in Surface
This product comes in a bottle with a brush like Liquid Paper. It goes on incredibly easy. A second coat might be needed. I wanted to prevent rust from setting in so I covered the scratches and dings. The paint is a little brighter since my washer is 10 years old but it still looks great.

Door locked because of faulty water level switch
First some background. The door locked up the first time when appliance was less than one year old. The "Maytag Repairman" finally succeeded in getting the door open after propping up the front of the machine and fumbling around underneath for a period of time and then assured me the problem was solved. The problem recurred less than a year later, and I called another repairman who seemed to have an easier time of it, and charged $293.42 to replace the water level switch. About six months later the same problem recurred and I took the cover off the top of the machine and found there a booklet "For Service Technician's Use Only". VERY HELPFUL. Told how extremely easy it was to unlock door - took about five seconds. Replacing the switch itself involved pulling one tubing off and disconnecting one elec connection from old switch and replacing on new switch. Total cost $50 plus a few dollars for shipping.

Drain pump was cracked
Turned washer on its side. Pulled the bottom plate off. Then unplugged the electrical lines. Then unbolted the drain pump and bolted the new drain pump in. Then reversed the process.
