My Maytag washer moder#MAVT446AWW will not pump water to start or in rinse cycle. all other cycles worl including dumping water.

"LF" on display (Long Fill - no water or insufficient water supply) Press POWER/CANCEL to cancel the cycle. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
Plug in washer or reconnect power. Re-select cycle and press START/PAUSE. "F9E1" on display (Drain Problem) Press POWER/CANCEL to cancel the cycle. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
Plug in washer or reconnect power. Re-select cycle and press START/PAUSE. "SD" on display (Suds Routine) When excessive suds are detected, a suds routine automatically starts. This routine removes extra suds and assures proper rinsing of your garments. "SD" is displayed during rinsing and at the end of the cycle to inform you that the Suds Routine was activated. Use only HE (High Efficiency) detergents. "F--E--" Variables (Washer Problem) Press POWER/CANCEL to cancel the cycle. Select RINSE, DRAIN & SPIN if there is excessive water in the washer. Re-select cycle and press START/PAUSE.

When I start a new cycle, I first hear the pump run to empty out all remaining water, and after that I hear the motor run for the regular washing cycle, but there is no water in the dishwasher. After a few minutes, the cycle stops, and the washer claims the dishes are 'clean'. When I try starting a new cycle over and over again, about one in 20 times, the cycle will run normally with water. But then the next time, the problem starts all over again. Once a cycle starts correctly, everything works fine, including the rinsing.

The washer timing control is defective.

Hi this sounds like the main seal/bearing is leaking and making noise, this will need service fairly major job to have done.


Sean

it is not supposed to pump water unless it is in the spin cycle. On most topload washers the motor turns one way for the agitate cycle and then the motor reverses during the spin/rinse cycle which in turn reverses the pump and causes it to pump the water out.

If all else fails, replace motor control board, and/or motor.

Your pump is probably what's causing the noise . Usually the bearing starting to go out , causing the pump to freeze up , begins with this noise .

you need to replace the water level switch

Pr obably a coupling between the motor and gear box, Take motor off and coupling will come out, re place it and it should be fine

cold water valve screen plugged or bad valve, just check it!
