Question about Maytag Atlantis MAV7260B Top Load Washer

A co-worker sold me this washer: model MAV6250Aww, ser# 20480262zu; that had just sat in storage for a while. Washed clothes came out with a lot of lint- even after a repairman "cleaned" it out. Any suggestions?

These washer are notorious for linting, there is no real solution, reduce wash time to bare minimum, try sorting clothes into different categories, whites separate washed from dark clothes, use good quality detergent. The only way to fix this problem completely is a neutral drain kit, I do not believe Maytag sells one.

SOURCE: my stakable maytag washer leaves lint marks on the

new washer have what is called a washer drain protector, in other words it's a lint catcher for washers and your model has no such part. Do you use powder or liquid detergent? It seems to me that what you see is residue from too much detergent if you use powder. I've heard others with this complaint and to no avail can figure out the cause of this, at least from a view point of a simple wash.

SOURCE: Lint in the wash water/clothes

If you have a regular tub/agitator machine you can fill 1/2 with water, add two cups of white vinegar & allow it to agitate but not empty. Give the machine a break to 'soak', then agitate again. Allow the vinegar-water to sit in the tub between rounds. Do this for the whole day (on weekend?) to give the machine a good cleaning. Often soaking in vinegar will loosen trapped debris so it can go down the drain. It will clean the machine very well even if it does not stop your lint problem. Sounds like there must be some part in the machine that got clogged w/ lint or that there is a hidden lint trap. Read the instruction booklet or try to contact the manufacturer via toll free phone or internet for troubleshooting on the problem. Good Luck!

My washer puts a lot of lint on the clothes after having been washed. How can this be stopped. no lint on my clothes.
Do not wash items like towels rags dish cloths etcetera or other lint producing clothes in the same load. This is not a washer issue.

Maytag Model # MAV6250AWW will not fill with cold water....Hot water will fill and work fine. have checked and hose is not clogged
It sounds like the cold water solenoid is not working. Test the resistance in ohms across the coil and compare with the coil on the hot water side. They should both be the same. I don't think the coils are sold separately, so you may have to get a whole new valve, but you could try asking anyway.

CHECK THE LID SWITCH THE PART THAT PUSHES THE SWITCH DOWN MAY BE WORN ENOUGH TO CAUSE THIS PROBLEM. WITH THE LID OPEN START THE WASHER IN THE SPIN CYCLE AND PUSH THE SWITCH WITH A POPSICKEL STICK AND SEE IF THIS PROBLEM STILL HAPPENS

When i spin wash tub wigth my hand i can hear lots of water still in the machine under neath the wash basin
That is becouse most washing machines are made up of an inside drum where your clothes are washed and an outside durm that catches the water when the washer spins the water out of the washed clothes. A pump is connected to the bottom of the outside drum. If the pump fails, the water would not get pumped to the drain and would collect in the outside drum.

My expensive lg washer makes my cloths smell
Water is staying in the drum because it does not have the ability to pump put all the water. The only fix to this is after every cycle, take the little drain hose located near the bottom of the unit where you have to remove the cover, and take out the plug and drain into a small trash can. You will get about 4 cups water out of the machine. If this water is left overnight, it starts to mildew and will be washed over your next load. It's a design flaw, but this is the only solution. And one other suggestion, after you are finished washing clothes for the day and after you've drained out the remaining water, leave the door open overnight for the moisture in the unit to dry out.

Clothes are dirtier after washing...
The problem with your front load washer is a broken rear bearing. If you remove the rear panel, you will see brown "gunk" all over.
If you want to repair it on your own, order this:

GE top load washer w/no lint trap leaves excessive lint
Most US-sold washers made after the mid 1980s don't have lint filters. The manufacturers weasel-word around it by saying that the lint "goes down the drain", leading people to optimistically assume that there is a self-cleaning filter in there somewhere. There usually isn't and whatever lint doesn't go down the drain is filtered by your cloths (but whatever does might clog your septic system). As a result of this scam, it's much harder to hang-dry or iron-dry clothes that haven't been hand washed. And, if you think spending $2000 on a pair of matched "front-load" style machines will solve this, you might be wrong; many of those washers still have no lint filter.

Maytag Atlantis washer fills with water and then stops. Why? I started the machine, added the soap and clothes and after it was full it just stopped. Nothing I do gets it to move on to the wash cycle.

What's your problem?Maytag mav7260 top load, the machine will work for a small load then follow with a big load and it wont drain or spin. Run it with a small load on quick wash and everything worked fine. Then I tried a bigger load on reg wash and it filled, agitated and when it hit spin and rinse it stops. Cant hear the timer moving and it wont start back up til the tub is emptied and clothes removed. I can pull the water through the drain tube with a shop vac and it worked on small load. Once I get the water out it will refill and stop again with the water and clothes sitting in the tub. Its like the motor over heats but it isn't unusually hot that I can tell.
