Disappointment for a Maytag
on November 17, 2025
Posted by: winginit12
from Taos, NM
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far, I have re-set the machine twice and accomplished nothing. When rinsing and spinning, the basket sounds like its out of balance, slamming against the side. However, the machine does not "walk", so it is solid. The machine is leveled left to right and front to back and is on a tiled floor on a cement slab. When it is put on warm, it does not activate the hot water from my combi-unit. The water is showing 67 degrees. That is not warm.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We regret that you are having these concerns with your Washer. Please see the following troubleshooting tips:

When washing large or heavy items, vibration and out-of-balance loads can occur. There are several things to consider for the best wash performance:

Always check the care label to ensure the item is machine washable in a top-load washer (some bulky items state to only wash in a front load commercial-style washer).
For items that absorb a lot of water, such as quilts or cotton blankets, distribute the items around the wash basket in a doughnut shape around the impeller.
It is not recommended to wash a single absorbent article. For example, do not wash one rug. Wash two or three to balance the load for a good spin.
Similar items should be washed together. Make sure that the top of the impeller is visible.
Never overload the washer. Clothes should be loosely added and only as high as the top row of holes in the wash basket.
Do not add more water - there must be engagement of the impeller and the clothes. If there is too much water, the items will float, and the cleaning action will be less due to the design of the cycles.

Just awful!
on November 12, 2025
Posted by: ShawnaC
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Routinely pull clothes that still have bone-dry patches on them after the cycle is complete (meaning these dry patches have neither been washed nor rinsed) so I get to wash the entire load again which is fun! And efficient! And energy saving!. And all those extra trips to the basement feel great on my bad back and knee! Nothing smells fresh (because it's not actually clean). And the noise! Thankfully it's downstairs because I'd have to blast my tv to cover the noise of this thing running. Just awful! I want to cry over all the wasted time and money. Worst purchase I've ever made without exaggeration.

Hello,
We value your time and would like to look into the concerns with your Washer.
Dry spots after a wash are often normal, caused by high-speed spinning and airflow, especially on items near the top of the drum.
However, improper loading is the main cause of persistent dry spots. Overloading or tightly packing the washer restricts water and detergent circulation, preventing adequate saturation and compromising wash quality.
To ensure optimal performance and minimize dry spots:
Do not overload: Leave a hand's width of space at the top for clothes to tumble.
Load loosely and evenly: Distribute garments to maintain balance and maximize water contact.
Please feel free to view your Owner's Manual for additional information. http://spr.ly/642879KeI

We’re looking forward to hearing from you.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There is not enough water to wash your clothing.. It rinses and spins more that it washes. And that stupid lid lock will not let you see what is going on and if you pause it you have to start over. I thought this was supposed to be efficient and it is not.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We regret you are having these concerns with your Washer water levels. Please see the following troubleshooting tips:
Cycle Modifiers & Water Level:


Check that the desired Soil Level, Spin Speed, and Temperature modifiers are selected, as these settings can affect the cycle.


For water level, use Auto Sensing for the machine to automatically determine the level, or select Deep Water Wash for the maximum amount of water (expect longer cycle times).


Bulky Cycle:


If using the Bulky Cycle, the washer will fill slowly while agitating, which may take up to 10-12 minutes to completely fill. Agitation during fill improves cleaning performance.


Non-Agitator Models:


These washers use a low-water wash plate system and automatically adjust the water level. Load items in loose heaps evenly around the wash plate.


IMPORTANT: Do not add extra water, as this can cause clothes to float and lessen the cleaning action.


Re-calibration:


If water levels seem lower than when you first started, run a Clean Washer cycle (recommended monthly or every 30 cycles) to re-calibrate the control. Maytag recommends using affresh® for this cycle.
