Washer does not start, nothing! Have unplugged for a minute, raised the lid 6 times to reset, nothing! Novice at doing repairs DIY type of person.
For model number MTW5600TQ2
Hi Ben,
Thank you for your question. If the washer will not start, the washer lid switch may be malfunctioning. Replacing this item fixes the issue the majority of the time. You will need to test the parts with a multi-meter. Here is a link to one of our videos on YouTube that you may use as a general reference on how to use one, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWC44fHn0As. There are some other parts that you will need to check to see which one is causing the issue. Here is a link from our website that you may reference on what other parts to check, https://www.partselect.com/AdvancedModelSymptoms.aspx?ModelNum=MTW5600TQ2&mfgModelNum=&fkMfgID=1&ModelMasterID=59705&PID=40. We hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

There is a small leak on the right hand side of my mom's Maytag washer model number is w 5 6 mtw 5600 q2 do you think it could be a pump
For model number MTW5600TQ2
Hi Stephen, it is most likely the drain hose. Thank you for your question and good luck with your repair!
My Maytag washer with the model number mtw5600tq2, it fills with water, but the agitator is not moving during the cycle and my clothes are soaking wet when it finishes. The tub is drained of water at the end of the cycle. What could be the reason for this? This model is more difficult to assess then any others i have ever had.
For model number MTW5600TQ2
Hello and thank you for writing.
It certainly sounds like it could be a faulty clutch assembly PS334641 and/or a loose or a faulty agitator bolt PS11741866you should check the part(s) for signs of damage, and replace the part(s) as needed. We hope this helps. Please contact us anytime if you require further assistance.
I have the inlet valve but I can't get to it, how do I get the top off ?
For model number MTW5600TQ2
Hi Ruben, thank you for your question. We have a customer who wrote in with how to install that part: "To replace the inlet solenoid valve/thermistor assembly: Unplug the washer. Turn the water off and unscrew the hoses from the inlet. Unsnap the end caps from the top control panel. Remove the exposed screws from each end of the panel (#2 Phillips). Pull the panel out of the way and pop out the two retaining clips that hold the back of the machine to the cabinet. They are located under the control panel. Remove the mounting screw from the valve assembly (1/4-inch driver). Pull the back away from the cabinet far enough to remove the valve, but don't let the wires get cut. Disconnect the wires. To unplug the solenoid connectors, lift the long tab with a screwdriver. Disconnect the water outlet hose. Connect the wires and hose to the new valve assembly. The red connector goes to the hot water valve. The thermistor wires (the two individual connectors) can be connected to either terminal. It does not matter if they are reversed. Put the valve back in place and install the screw. Hook up and turn the water on. Plug in the machine and test the valve. Unplug the power and reinstall the back and the control panel. The back-to-cabinet clips can be snapped back in place easily. " Good luck with your repair.

My washer doesn’t stop filling up, and if I’d let it it’ll over flow. Seems like a sensor issue. I set it to small load and it fills all the way. How do I fix this?
For model number MTW5600TQ2
Hi Maggie, thank you for getting in touch. Based on the description that you provided, we would recommend checking the water level pressure switch, part number PS3408149, as it is most likely faulty and may need to be replaced. The pressure switch shuts off the power to the water inlet valve when proper water level is reached. If the pressure switch fails, the water inlet valve will continue to fill the washer tub with water, causing the washer to overflow. We hope this is helpful!
researched potential causes, found cluch dust under the washer and determined that it wouldn't engage because clutch was too worn. ordered the assembly, removed agitator from inside the tub as it is connected to the gear shaft, turned washer on it's back for access to motor, unattached the direct drive water pump from the motor drive, unbolted the 3 gearcase mounting bolts and took the entire gearcase, shaft, motor, etc... together, out from under the washtub. the clutch slides off the gearshaft with a little fidgeting and the new assembly is easily installed where the previous was. put everything back together... then... spin spin! worked perfectly
If you load a washing machine unevenly, it will spin out of balance. But our washer seemed to make noise during the spin cycle regardless of how the load was distributed. I suspected that the suspension or balancing springs were getting tired, and ordered a replacement set.
First I disconnected the washer from the water and power supply, then I laid it on its back.
The tub rested on the back of the washer, making two of the three suspension springs relax, and they were pretty easy to pull out with pliers. After the first two were out, I had to support the tub with a couple 2x4s to relax the third suspension spring.
Installation was the reverse of removal - install the lower suspension spring, remove the 2x4s, then install the two other suspension springs.
The tub balancing spring was easy to replace, and probably wasn't the cause of the problem.
With $25 in parts and about 15 minutes, my washer spins much more quietly.
I removed the two screws on the back of the control panel. The control panel then flips back. The switch is on the left side. To remove the switch, I first detached the wire to the control panel and unscrewed the grounding wire. The new switch drops right in. I had a little trouble getting it in until I realized the washer lid had to be open. A little awkward but once it's in you can shut the lid and then I reattached the wire from the control panel and screwed in the grounding wire. Pretty easy. $20 for the part (with shipping) and 15 minutes. Way cheaper than a repairman.
