A Maytag washer in Canton was showing a SUD error and wouldn’t drain. The homeowner called us when their laundry routine came to a halt with standing water in the tub.
The Problem
The customer reported their washer was displaying a SUD error code and would not drain water from the drum. This left clothes soaking wet and the machine unable to complete wash cycles.
Diagnosis
Our inspection revealed the drain pump had failed. When a drain pump stops working, the washer cannot remove water from the tub, triggering error codes like SUD as the machine detects the drainage problem.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: 280187 — water pump
- Work performed: Installed new drain pump
- Result: All is working, no leaks
Is It Worth Repairing?
Maytag washers are built for durability and typically provide years of reliable service. A drain pump replacement on most Maytag models is a cost-effective repair that can extend the machine’s life significantly, making it worthwhile for units that aren’t extremely old.
Maintenance Tips for Maytag Washers
- Check and clean the drain pump filter monthly to prevent clogs that can damage the pump
- Use the correct amount of detergent — excess suds can strain the drain system
- Run a cleaning cycle monthly with Maytag’s recommended washer cleaner to prevent buildup
