Maytag Neptune MAH6500A Front Load Washer - Page 8 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
What does the E3 code mean?
This is what it means: Machine control is attempting to drive the motor but is not seeing any tach response. Visual check shows motor is not moving. (Locked, Hall Sensor fault). If you need additional help let me know
Water is coming out of the detergent dispenser
This is probably due to excess detergent blocking the feed into the machine, try removing the tray and washing it in the sink. If this works I would rinse it out every month or so, this could be done in the machine by not putting detergent in the dispenser and putting the machine on a short wash cycle. Hope this helps.
Ways to stop boot sealer from leaking
Hello. I need the model number AND the serial number to help you accurately. If this is the front loading Neptune, be aware--there are MANY service bulletins associated with it. Depending on the model/serial number, somewhere around 19 to 25 service bulletins exist. When there is a leak in the boot(also called a bellow, the rubber part that seals against the door glass), it must be replaced. Due to vibration/movement/water during agitate and spin, almost no type of adhesive will hold securely. People have tried to patch these parts but it always ends up leaking again after awhile. NOTE: Make sure the door glass is CLEAN at the rear(the area closest to the door itself where the seal is made with the bellow). If pet hair, hardened soap residue, almost any debris gets in-between the rubber seal area and the glass, water will weep through and drizzle down the front of the washer. Pet hair and almost any fibrous material will cause a wicking action that will cause leakage. I hope I helped you!
How do you clean a Maytag Neptune top loading washer
I have a great tip for making a smelly clothes washer smell fresh and clean, given to me by a Maytag repairman. Simply run dishwasher detergent powder, not liquid, through your machine with no clothing in it, about once or twice a month.
It works and it is cheaper than the specialized products that do the same thing. Use the same amount you would use of laundry detergent for your particular machine.
