Mah4000 maytag how to locate remove and clean

first thing to do is a reset. unplug it for 5 min and plug back in to see if it resets to factory settings.

Lint traps are in dryers, not washers If clothes still come out wet then perhaps the water pump is not working properly and/or the drum is not spinning fast enough to allow centrifugal force to remove water from clothes.

Check and make sure the pump, sump, and or drain hose are clear.

Use spin ccyle again for proper operation and to help remove water.

Your drain pump has something lodged in it. Remove drain motor, open it up and inspect for obstruction. remove it then reassemble.retrywashing cycle.

how much water is in the bottom of the tub and is it louder than normal if so could be small droplets of water leaking from tub seal if not the pump is restricted by something and req replacement

I would suggest that the filter wants cleaning.
To access it, remover lower rear panel of washer.
Locate and remove the large black hose on to the tub.
Be careful, as there will be water in the hose.
Remove and clean plastic filter inside hose.
Refit hose and filter..
I would also suggest that you remove motor and check the brushes for wear, whilst you have the rear panel off.

If there is less than 10mm showing, then they need replacing..

Unblock the outflow pipe from the machine that goes into the sump under the sink. (have a pot ready for water overflow) This will help drain the water. If the spin cycle is making a screetching sort of noise then it is possible that the carbon brushes will need changing. This affects the spinning if the brushes are worn.

Have you replaced your 12002535 door latch wax motor if you have a MAH3000, MAH4000, MAH5500A or the 2000 stacker? These wax motors will eventually fail on every Neptune shipped. When the wax motor fails the upper machine control board be damaged and you will lose your spin function which leaves your clothes soaking wet. There is a website that offers a repair kit to see if your control board is useable again. Don't keep starting machine because you might cause further damage to control board and the motor control board located near the floor until you see if R11 is burnt on the upper machine control board located behind the timer.


See www.neptunewaxmotor.com for more details and step-by-step disassembly photos.

My machine (Maytag MAH4000aww) failed to drain because of a bobby-pin that was lodged in the drain pump impeller. Because of the added weight of the wet clothes, and the undrained water; the machine would not spin. The Wax motor worked as the door did lock properly, but the machine would "ramp up" trying to spin, but would stop the process when it sensed that the load was grossly unbalanced. Check the drain pump to see that it is not clogged or that the impeller is not impeded by a foreign object before spending money on imbalance switches! I will now cancel the service man, who surely would have charged me for a new pump, plus the cost of the visit, and now I can stop swearing! My wife is glad she married me!!!!
