A Maytag washer on Chadsworth Avenue in Louisville went completely dead overnight during a wash cycle, leaving the customer with wet laundry and no power to the unit. Despite trying basic troubleshooting steps, the washer remained unresponsive. Our diagnosis revealed a failed control board that would require replacement along with potentially other components.
The Problem
The customer reported that their Maytag washer will not turn on. They ran it last night and it has laundry in it with water, but will not turn on. They had tried unplugging it and resetting power to the plug with no success.
Diagnosis
The unit went dead during a wash cycle overnight. Testing showed 120 V reaching the control board, but there was no DC voltage from control board to user interface even after removing all other loads. This indicated the control board had failed and was not supplying power to operate the washer’s functions.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: No parts replaced
- Work performed: Electrical diagnosis and testing of control board and user interface
- Result: Customer decided to replace the unit rather than proceed with repairs
Is It Worth Repairing?
Control board failures on Maytag washers can be expensive, especially when additional components may also need replacement after the initial repair. For this particular model and situation, the customer made the practical decision to invest in a new washer rather than risk multiple repair costs on the existing unit.
Maintenance Tips for Maytag Washers
- Keep the washer level and avoid overloading to prevent stress on electrical components
- Use proper detergent amounts to prevent excess suds that can affect sensors and controls
- Clean the lint filter regularly and ensure proper ventilation around the unit
