Maytag Washer Repair – Massillon, OH

A Maytag washer in Massillon stopped powering on after the customer attempted to reset the computer following a drainage issue. Our diagnosis revealed multiple control board failures that made replacement the better option.

The Problem

The customer reported that the unit had quit draining. She cleaned the drain filter and used programming settings to attempt to reset the computer, but after the reset attempt, it would no longer power on.

Diagnosis

I took the control board to US Electronics, where they replaced the capacitors. After that repair, the unit would power on but not advance in the cycles. This indicated the motor control board was also bad, creating multiple expensive failures in the control system.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: None — customer opted to replace the washer
• Work performed: Control board capacitor replacement attempted
• Result: Multiple board failures made repair uneconomical

Is It Worth Repairing?

When a Maytag washer suffers multiple control board failures, replacement often makes more sense than repair. Control boards are expensive components, and when both the main control and motor control boards fail, the repair costs can approach the price of a new machine.

Maintenance Tips for Maytag Washers

• Clean the drain filter monthly to prevent drainage issues that can stress the control system
• Avoid repeated reset attempts if the washer stops responding — call for service instead
• Use proper detergent amounts to prevent excessive suds that can cause drainage problems
