If your Maytag Centennial washing machine is making a sound like it's draining water even though there's no water in the tub, it could be an issue with the drain pump. The drain pump is responsible for removing water from the machine during the spin cycle.
Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:
Unplug the washing machine and remove any remaining water from the tub manually.
Check the drain hose for any kinks or blockages. If you find any, clear them out.
Remove the drain pump from the washing machine and check for any clogs or damage. If you find any, clean or replace the pump as needed.
Reinstall the drain pump and run the washing machine to see if the issue has been resolved.
If these steps do not solve the problem, it may be necessary to call a professional repair technician to diagnose and fix the issue.
To retrieve error codes from your Maytag BRAVOS MCT washing machine, you can try the following steps:
Make sure the washer is in standby mode (all lights off).
Select any three buttons (except POWER) and follow the steps below, pressing the buttons in the following order within 8 seconds:
Press and release the 1st button
Press and release the 2nd button
Press and release the 3rd button
Repeat this sequence two more times (a total of 3 times)
If the buttons are pressed in the correct sequence, all indicator lights will turn on for 5 seconds and then turn off except for the "lid lock" indicator.
The washer will then start a diagnostic test cycle and the error codes will be displayed in the "Estimated Time Remaining" display.
Note: Make sure to write down any error codes displayed on the screen, as they will be helpful in troubleshooting the issue with your washer.
It is possible that the power outlet the washer is plugged into has lost power. Check to see if the outlet is working by plugging in another device. If the outlet is working, then it is possible that the power cord has become loose or disconnected. Check the power cord to make sure it is securely plugged into the wall and to the washer. If the power cord is securely connected, then you may need to call a professional to diagnose and repair the issue.
If your Maytag washing machine is agitating during the spin cycle, it could be due to a few different issues. Here are some possible causes:
Defective Transmission: The transmission in the washing machine is responsible for shifting the agitator and the drum between the spin and agitation cycles. If the transmission is defective, it may not be able to engage or disengage the agitator properly, causing it to spin during the spin cycle.
Worn Drive Belt: The drive belt connects the motor to the transmission and helps to control the speed and direction of the agitator and drum. If the belt is worn or damaged, it may not be able to properly control the agitator, causing it to spin during the spin cycle.
Malfunctioning Clutch: The clutch in the washing machine helps to regulate the spin and agitation cycles. If the clutch is not functioning properly, it may not be able to disengage the agitator during the spin cycle, causing it to spin along with the drum.
Faulty Timer: The timer controls the various cycles and functions of the washing machine, including the spin and agitation cycles. If the timer is faulty, it may not be able to properly sequence the cycles, causing the agitator to spin during the spin cycle.
It's best to have a professional technician inspect and diagnose the issue to determine the exact cause and the necessary repairs.
If you have cleaned the drain pump of your Maytag washer model MAH8700AWW and it is still leaving a small amount of water in the tub after the drain cycle, this may be causing the nd error to show up.
One thing you can do is to check the drain hose to make sure it is not kinked or obstructed, as this can also cause the washer to not drain properly. If the drain hose is clear and there is still water remaining in the tub after the drain cycle, you may need to check the drain pump itself to make sure it is working properly.
It is also possible that there could be a problem with the water level switch or the control board, but you have mentioned that the board tests good according to the troubleshooting book included with the washer.
If you have tried these steps and the issue persists, it may be necessary to consult a professional technician to diagnose and repair the issue with your Maytag washer.
Here are some general steps that may help you remove the tub:
Disconnect power: Turn off the power to the washing machine and disconnect the power cord.
Empty the tub: Remove any clothing or items from the tub.
Locate the retaining clips: The retaining clips are typically located around the perimeter of the tub, near the top of the machine.
Release the clips: Use a flat-head screwdriver or pliers to gently release the retaining clips. Be careful not to damage the clips or the tub.
Check for a retaining nut: If you have difficulty releasing the retaining clips, check to see if there is a retaining nut that needs to be removed. This nut is usually located on the back of the machine, near the bottom of the tub.
Remove the tub: Once you have released the clips and removed any retaining nuts, you should be able to carefully lift the tub out of the machine.
If you are experiencing pulsating hot water in your Maytag washing machine, it is likely due to an issue with the water inlet valve. The water inlet valve is responsible for controlling the hot and cold water that enters the washer. Over time, it can become worn or damaged, which can cause the water flow to pulsate or switch between hot and cold.
To fix this issue, you may need to replace the water inlet valve. This can be done either by a professional or on your own, although it is recommended to seek help from a professional if you are inexperienced with appliance repairs.
Before replacing the water inlet valve, you should also check the hoses for any blockages or kinks, as this can also cause pulsating water flow. Additionally, inspect the pressure switch and the timer, as these can also be a source of the problem.
Once the repair is complete, ensure to check the water pressure in the washer to make sure that it is operating correctly.

It's possible that the lid switch is malfunctioning which may prevent the machine from starting on a regular cycle. Inspect the switch for any signs of damage and if necessary, replace it. It is also possible that the timer knob is not properly set or the water level switch is defective. Check these as well to see if they're the culprit.
A squealing noise during the sensing cycle of your Maytag top-load washer can be caused by a number of factors. Here are some common reasons and steps you can take to resolve the issue:
Loose belt - The noise could be caused by a loose or worn belt that needs to be tightened or replaced. You may need to remove the front panel of the washer to access the belt.
Idler pulley - If the idler pulley that keeps tension on the belt is worn or damaged, it can cause a squealing noise. Replace the idler pulley if necessary.
Bearing - A worn bearing in the tub can cause a squealing noise. Replacing the bearing will typically require disassembling the washer.
Drive motor - If the drive motor is worn or damaged, it can cause a squealing noise. Replace the drive motor if necessary.

Black spots on clothes from a washing machine can be caused by several issues:
Detergent buildup: Clean the detergent dispenser to remove any buildup.
Hard water deposits: Install a water softener to remove minerals that can leave spots on clothes.
Lint buildup: Clean the lint filter to prevent lint buildup.
Poor-quality detergent: Switch to a high-quality detergent.
Agitator problems: Check the agitator for any damage or issues.
If the issue persists, it is recommended to have a professional technician diagnose and repair the problem as it may require technical skills and specialized tools.
It sounds like there could be an issue with either the control assembly or the wiring between it and the washer or dryer. I suggest having a qualified technician take a look at your washer and dryer to check the wiring and control assembly for any problems. The technician should also be able to help you determine the cause of the issue and advise you on how to proceed.
