Washer will not fill all the way.

My maytag has a rubber tube that goes from the bowl up to the level sensor. I would try removing this tube and blowing it out to make sure that it is clear and not perished.

the drain hose is to low the water is syphoning out on the high loads

Hello LazyOne

The motor is locked out until the water level requirement is met. The level selector switch is probabably having issues, try rotating it back and forth between small / medium / large loads. If it starts to fill on larger load sizes, it will be the switch itself. If it doesn't do anything at all, it could be the switch, but most likely it is the level sensor. Both are located in the compartment behind the controls panel.

most washers if put on a large load do start going around before the water has finished filling this is just to get all the clothes fully wet before the proper cycle starts to wash them it is just how the washer copes with a large load peter

changing from large to small load will not cause a problem. this could be a control panel issue. unplug machine, the try rotating load size dial back and forth a few times, plug machine back in and try

sounds like the pressure switch is bad

There is a pressure switch with a long thin hose or tube attached to it. It is inside the washer and can be located with the back or the top removed. As the water fills, the pressure in the hose increases and the switch activates at a determined pressure, shutting of the water valve. I have seen bad switches and pinched or clogged hoses..

remove edge decore trims from left and right side front of control panel
remove phillips screws from bottom corners of contol panel
remove knob from water level selector
raise control panel ~1 inch then flip over backwords on pivots
depress lock tab on right/underside of water level control body where it touches metal mount plate
rotate water level control body 45deg anti clockwise
pull body off
top side of body next to knob shaft is 1/8 hex head bolt
turn clockwise to rais water level
anticlockwise to lower water level
machine can be operated with this part not fitted so can check level. fill, adjust screw, fill will start again, adjust screw, until water level is correct
reinstall in reverse order
Incidentally, the cause is a VERY small wire spring inside the control body that is not really up to the task, and stretches over years.
Its a common occurrence, and I make this repair, on callouts, no parts required, couple times a month you may have to flip the switch to reset to get the water to restart filling

choose the load size on the timer for what your putting in large small medium etc match the water fill large small med etc select wash rinse temp to you pref add soap bleach fabric softner pull out the knob make sure the lid is closed
