Hi from retired Englishman in France,

Not being funny but---- it is absolutely imperative, both for your sanity AND to protect the machine from subsequent damage, that it is 'balanced'!
All 4 feet on the underside SHOULD be firmly adjusted down on to the floor. Normally adjusting only one of the two feet at the front should suffice. Firmly rock backwards one front corner and if the machine moves then it is that foot under that corner which requires adjusting/screwing down FIRMLY onto the floor. If not that one then the other corner.

If after carrying out feet adjustment so that you are absolutely certain that the machine IS balanced/level and shouldn't rock and it still rattles around it could be that a damper/shock absorber which supports the drum is malfunctioning. This is quite rare and only occurs in circumstances where the machine has been allowed to rock 'n roll a lot for a long time.
Hope feet adjustment cures your problem.

Cheers,

John C

i also have this problem. to get the door to unlock, just unplug the washer and it should open in a min or two. you will hear a click. you may have a mini flood but at least you can get your cloths out and bail out the water. my problem started when i began using a new detergent from Tide called total care. Still tying to get the pump to work.

Hi, Thank You for your question. What I would like you to do is take a shallow pan, and set it below the filter down below in the front. I you don't see it, remove the kickplate. Its round and looks like a handle. Slowly turn counterclockwise until water starts to drain into pan. Drain pan when partially full. Repeat this process until no more water comes out. Then unscrew filter and remove and clean. Reinstall and make sure its snuggly tightened down. Should solve your problem. Have a good day.

hi try holding in a series of random 2 buttons at the same time try any 2 buttons then move to the next 2 and so on thankyou

Unlocking the door:
Turn on the washer, but don't start any wash cycles. After a few minutes, the door should unlock itself.

Troubleshooting the "nd" message:
"nd" means "no drain". Empty the (now unlocked) washer and fill the wash tub with just enough water to see a bit of water at the bottom of the tub. Run a drain cycle and check a) if it drains and b) if there are any unusual noises while it is draining. If either event occurs during the drain cycle, the drain pump may have to be repaired/replaced.

there should be a filter near the outlet pump
ps,,,you did take the dog out the bed before you washed it yes?

As I sit here with my Maytag Neptune MAH8700AWW torn apart, I can tell you it is impossible to unlock and the 800 number is no help. They tell you to unplug it for 5 minutes. Some web posts talk about a "magical release cord" under the top cover but it does not exist.

The wax motor in your door lock mechanism is bad and must be replaced.

Belt for the MAH2400AWW is the 34001117

The dispenser is likely clogged with soap scum. Pull it and clean the orifices.

Hi Bridget.

The problem happens when too much detergent or the wrond kind of detergent is used (see the manual to find out what kind of detergent is best for your washer).

The machine detects an excess of detergent and prompts SUDS, when you switch cycle to drain it will signal nd to show that there is a drain blockage, probably caused by detergent accumulating in drain pump hose.

Repair is done accessing the hose connected to the drain pump and removing blockage.

On most front locaser the pump hose is accessed through the door located at the base of the machine front side, under the door.
To access the pump disconnect power, remove the plastic trim, open access door rotate anticlockwise drain access and be ready to collect water that will flow abbundantly.
Details are also illustrated on manual.
Always remember to disconnect power before starting.

Sorry no theres not,And when you get the throw rug out do not put these in there they do a lot of damage they can clog the pump.First thing try pushing the start button agin you well have to do this several times the machine has to drain before the door opens,when it open up.put draino-max and let it stand for 1-2hrs and run machine no clothes.And no more throw rugs

"F02" is a Long Drain error. This is usually an indication of an obstruction somewhere in the drainage system, or a failed drain pump. In most cases, the drain pump reservoir needs to be cleaned out. The following link explains how:

http://www.fixya.com/support/r3574284-checking_the_drain_pump_on_a_front_loade

If you check the drain pump reservoir and the problem still persists, you may have a pump with a damaged motor/impeller, or something lodged in one of the drain lines. In particular, the drain line that runs from the bottom of the wash tub to the inlet side of the pump.

I recommend you remove the inlet hose, as well, and inspect for clogs. In is common for small garments to become lodged in this area and restrict water flow to the drain pump. Check the output drain line for obstructions as well.

It does not take much to damage these small drain pumps. The error code is generated if the drain cycle exceeds 8 minutes. So...if the impeller or motor become damaged, and the pump does not pull water at the correct volume, you may still experience the drain error. In this case, you will have to replace the pump in order to get the error to clear. The following link explains how:

Replacements parts (if required) can be purchased at any of the following websites:

searspartsdirect.com
pcappliancerepair.com
appliancepartspros.com
repairclinic.com

Prices vary between sites, so shop and compare. The first three sites listed also have helpful exploded view parts illustrations to assist you with locating and properly identifying the parts you may need.


NOTE: For an explanation of all the error codes, each one of these appliances come with a technical data sheet inside.

To access, you will need to remove the lower toe panel under the door. The access screws are located under the bottom front edge of the panel. You may have to prop the two front fett of the washer up for better access ( a 2x4 works well for this). With the screws removed, the panel should drop down, then come off. If the tech sheet isn't directly behind the panel, it will be affixed to one of the interior cabinet walls.

The tech sheet lists all error code definitions, troubleshooting data, diagnostics procedures and wiring diagrams. I mention the tech sheet because you may need it to troubleshoot this error code.

Read through the information provided and let me know if you have any further questions. I hope you find this information helpful.

do you mean the pump filter its located on the bottom of the machine behind the front panel

If you mean a jet aircraft, that is normal. Front loaders achieve amazing spin rates.
