"nF" error code at end of cycle, and water leak

Hi! i have a neptune washer, model # MAH5500BWW, and it's started leaking water all over. I checked all of my hose connections and everything seems ok. The water seems to be coming from above the inlets on the back of the washer and dripping down, i think. I removed the metal panel on the upper back of the washer, where the circuit board is, and it's wet inside there as well...we've also been getting "nF" on the LCD screen at the end of the cycle...any advice?

Nf means u have a bad water valve u may also have a bad hose underneath the lid as well if u have water in your control

  • Anonymous May 15, 2012

    Mine did this a couple weeks ago, It was a problem with the drain hose. Make sure it is not pinned against anything behind the washer. I also poured Drano down the drain pipe within the wall. Problem solved. Now my washer won't fill. Pain in the rear. Looks like we're going to have to replace the inlet valves.

I have a Maytag Neptune Model #MAH5500BWW, and it leaks water only while it's filling. It's almost like it would rather fill my floor than the tub. When I start a spin only cycle to get the water...

Sounds like a leak either in the bottom, connector or water valve for your water inlet line. Visually finding the leak is your best bet, then you know what parts are to be replaced.

What the heck does nd stand for? Why does it sometimes say nf? Model MAH5500BWW

Hello & Welcome to FixYa

ND error in your Maytag Front Load washer indicates no drain issue. To start with check the drain hose for any clogs and try cleaning it, then check restriction in drain pump assembly or loose wire at the pump.
NF error in your Maytag is displayed due to no fill condition, when the washer tries to fill but is unable to, nf is displayed. Please check the water inlet valve for any clogs and obstructions, you can also clean the inlet to solve the issue. Please get back to me if you have any other questions.

My Maytag Neptune will not go into the spin cycle, instead the letters "nf " come on the display. What can I do to prevent this and to have the cycle completed?

Bonnie,

NF = No Fill the control board receives signaling for the washer during the water fill cycle. With most cycles the depth of water is around 3.5 inches in the wash basket. I know a Bulky Wash cycle selection will fill the wash tub to a high fill which is about 7.5 inches of water in the wash basket.

Is the washer filling the machine with any water? Do you hear water entering the machine? If you are doing a cold water fill and there is no or very little water in the wash basket with the NF error code. Try a Warm or Hot fill and see if the machine will fill and start the wash cycle.

Assuming you are doing cold water wash loads. You could have a water line block at the inlet screen or a failed cold water inlet valve which will not open. Try the above and let me know the results..........Rich

Maytag Neptune TL Washer leaking water on the floor....had a code of nf? I have been reading the message boards and they say could be water pressure sensor tube or switch...but where do I fink these in...

If you have water leaking out of the wash tub that sounds to me like it is the issue. How much water is in the wash basket when your Control Board signals the NF (No Fill) error code?

It's time to remove thr front cover and see where the water leak source is. If it's over the Clutch Pulley then you could have a Tub Seal issue. See if you can identify the leak source. Follow all saftey warnings in the Service Manual or call in a repair service........Big Dollars

See this post Clutch Fix I describe in the front of this fix action for dC/uC error codes how to remove the front cover of the machine.

let me know your DIY skills if you want to try a fix. I have many post on troubleshooting the Pressure Switch in the FAV6800A/FAV9800A machines in this forum both under FAV6800AWDIY and dh1200s logins.......D*ick

The Service Manual for reference. Sears Parts Direct for reference.

My Maytag Neptune will not spins and gives the code nf. I have been told that there is a reset code. Does anyone know the code?

Hi


Thanks for using FixYa. Error NF means No Fill. The washer has tried to fill but was unsuccessful. NF indicates No Flow. There is something that is interrupting the inbound flow of water to the washer, either hot or cold. Sometimes this happens when water service in the area is interrupted, creating an air pocket that causing the water valve not to sense water.

Try running the diagnostic test by—
  • Press the delicates and heavy soil keys together for 3 seconds.
  • You are in the service mode.
  • Now, press wrinkle free key, cold water should start entering.
  • Then, press the cotton sturdy and hot water should flow.
  • To exit the test mode, either unplug the machine or press the delicate and heavy soil again for 3 seconds.
Please do rate the solution if the issue is resolved or post a comment for further assistance.


Thanks

Maytag Neptune Front Load Washer Model MAH4000AWW low last spin

two problems here,
your shaft seal is running on its last leg
the sound is unmistakeable and always described the same...
the water issue, you probably have a trickle leak through the cold water valve
the mixing valve is quite an easy repair, but I would have to say with all honesty, it probably time for a new machine
the hub seal is a tub replacment call
2 hrs of labor if hes good
and the tub runs around 500.00 dollars
sory for the bad news

Error code

My problem was simply that the screens where the hoses connect to the washer were clogged with rust from my well water. I cleaned them and we're back in business.
