Daily Maintenance Routine

Keep your Maytag washer clean and running smoothly with these daily tasks:
  • Check the drum for any foreign objects or debris after each use.
  • Wipe down the door seal to prevent mould and detergent build-up.
  • Inspect the detergent dispenser and rinse away any residue.
  • Leave the door open after use to allow moisture to evaporate, preventing odours.


Weekly Cleaning Tasks

Perform these additional cleaning steps once a week:
  • Run an empty hot water cycle with a machine cleaner or detergent to remove soap residue and bacteria.
  • Check and clean the lint filter (if your model has one).
  • Inspect water hoses for kinks, leaks, or signs of wear.


Monthly Deep Cleaning

Once a month, go a step further to keep your Maytag washer in peak condition:
  • Use a dedicated washing machine cleaner or a mixture of white vinegar and baking soda to run a deep clean cycle.
  • Check and clean the water inlet filters to prevent blockages.
  • Inspect the drain pump filter for lint, coins, and other small debris.


Preventative Maintenance Tips

Protect your investment by following these preventative care tips:
  • Use only the recommended amount of detergent — too much can cause excess suds and residue build-up.
  • Avoid overloading the machine — this puts strain on the motor and reduces cleaning performance.
  • Ensure the machine is installed on a level surface to prevent excessive vibration.
  • Schedule an annual professional service to check internal components and catch potential issues early.


Troubleshooting Common Issues

Washer Not Draining Properly

  • Check for blockages in the drain hose.
  • Inspect and clean the drain pump filter.


Excessive Vibration or Noise

  • Ensure the washer is level and balanced.
  • Check for loose items (coins, keys) left in the drum.
  • Inspect shock absorbers and suspension springs for wear.


Detergent Residue on Clothes

  • Use the correct type and amount of detergent.
  • Clean the detergent dispenser regularly.
  • Run an extra rinse cycle if needed.


Unpleasant Odours

  • Wipe down the drum and door seal regularly.
  • Run a hot cycle with machine cleaner or vinegar.
  • Leave the door open between washes to allow airflow.
