Maytag Epic Z and Performance Series 2000 Washer and Dryer Stack Assembly Kit 8572546 Questions & Answers
I have a maytag epiz z washer mhwz400tq01. Flashing the f-28 code during spin cycle. Trying to avoid spending a lot. i have heard could just be wiring. Any suggestions on how to go has about?
The F11 and f28 codes are from a communication break in the serial link from the CCU (Central Control Unit) to the MCU (Motor Control Unit)(from the brains to the washer motor controller). Stay with me here!
There are three blue wires that go to the MCU from the CCU. Most of the problems probably occur during the final spin when the machine spins fastest and longest to extract all of the water.
Hence, the most vibrations cause the connectors to shake until there is a break in communication!
Take the top of the machine off (three #20 torx screws on the top back) to gain access into the machine. The CCU is top center back and has the spaghetti of wire going to it. You will see white wires on the far right of the CCU. Then going left they turn to black. The black set (3 wires) left of the row of white wires if for the Door Lock/Unlock. It IS a problem for the F/DL error. It is not making a good connection. Next the blue wire on the LHS of the CCU, last set (back) there are three blue wires. These 3 go to the MCU and are the serial communication lines. Tighten all these wires to make sure they are making good connections. Make sure your machine is level with all the feet on the floor. You do have a 24 month warranty one the machine so call a tech if within that period. To insure that this may be the problem, take a ride and sit on it during the final spin ;-) If it works then you know it's probably the wiring, if it doesn't buck you off first.
Drum not turning or heating up
Is power getting into the machine? If so, is the motor turning? If motor turns, is there a belt stretched that prevents drum from turning.
Maytag epic Z Washer shuts down at spin cycle
F21 usually indicates a pump problem however when that is not the problem then the place to look is the board itself as there is a mis communication between it and pump cycle? If the pump cannot operate it will not allow it to go into the spin.
Maytag Epic Z Washing Machine shuts down during spin, can I fix it myself?
Hello Brain;My name is Peter. I am a retired field service appliance technician.Error codes are generalized. Both of your codes are drain relative. They will tell you to clean your drain, but there is more to it than that.You may have a bad drain water level switch, a plugged drain line....Please send me your model number, So I can see what your have.Peter GoodwinGlen Burnie, MD
Maytag washer mhwe300vw13 will not spin
Check your exit hose spigot, it may be clogged. This is if your filter is all clean. There should be air for passage in the standpipe behind. Your hose should not fit airtight into the standpipe and neither too deep into it. Snaking out your standpipe would be good too.Coming the second aspect if the above gives no result:Perhaps you need new carbons brushes for the motor. It is a fairly straightforward repair. Remove the top cover, screws at rear, and slide top cover off towards the rear. The motor is located at the top right right rear, you will see the drive belt. Slacken the bolt that holds the motor, and push the motor down towards the top of the drum. You will see the 2 brush holders, they will be either black or white, pull the wires off the holder terminals, and depress the plastic lug that holds the brushes in place, slide the brushes out of the motor. The length of the brush should be at least half an inch long or replace. Fit new genuine carbon brushes,and follow instructions on packaging. Push the leads back on to the carbon terminals. tighten up motor, and make sure the belt is reasonably tight. Test on final spin before you refit top cover.(Spares can easily be located on this very site - Fixya)There are very gud videos on YouTube to guide you.If helped pl click so.
