Maytag LAT3600A Top Load Washer - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
Maytag washer model lat9406aae totaly dead is there a fuse in the washer?
If this does not work on any cycle then make sure you have electricity at your outlet as there is no fuse for this unit.If you have power but it will not work in any cycle then you most likely need a new timer.If the unit will fill and wash but not spin or drain then you most likely need a lid switch.
The washer is not spinning well...Clothes are
Hello, when the clothes are partly wet when cycle is complete then check these.
1. Motor coupler
2. Spin cycle
MOTOR COUPLER; To test the motor coupler, restart the washer in it's spin cycle,let the machine runs for a minutes and then open the lid and notice if the tub is spinning: if it's spinning when you lift the lid that means the coupler is fine and if it doesn't spin that means you have to replace it.
SPIN CYCLE: If the washer doesn't reach it's proper spin speed,the cloth may be wet at the end of the cycle,check to be if the load is properly balanced and run a spin cycle again,if the clothes are still wet, you may have a worn or loose belt which you have to replace.
Thanks

Hello,
The usual charge when i have repaired that is around $375
in addation to the seal a tub bearing would be required since the seal has leaked it very likely has rusted the bearing. To replace those both the inner and outer tub have to come apart,the breakdown would be
Parts--$150
Service Fee $75
Labor $100
labor and service fees vary from company to company and that is probably low,yet it is a great washer and may be well worth investing in to repair
During the spin cycle the machine bounces accross
Hi,
It is not a levleing issue.... there are shocks inside there that help to stabilize the tub when the load is spinning... they are broken and so the tub is out of control...
You will need to tear it apart... find the broken parts and replace them...

Can neighbor use washer using
Good day,
Yes if cold wash and rinse are used only. If the selector is set to warm accidentally, water would fly out of the hot water port when filling. Be careful, or hook up another cold water supply to the hot inlet.

Remove top
Hello- You will actually need to remove the front in order to access the 2 screws holding down the top. Unplug the machine before doing any disassembly. To remove the front panel there are 2 screws located near the bottom of the panel on each side. They are hidden by the bevel on the panel and located under where the panel angels in about 4" from the bottom. Look under that bevel and you will see the screws. Remove these and pull the bottom of the front panel towards you and up, the panel will hinge from the top and once you get the bottom up high enough it will drop free of the top. To hinge loosen the top there are 2 bolts located under the top where the side of the cabinets meet the front of the top panel. Once these are removed the top hinges up and back. There is a hose, tube, that comes from the bleach dispenser that you need to pull off from the bottom of the dispenser, there is usual no clamp on this at the top (you will see it on the front right side when you pull the front off). Hope this helps, best regards.
The machine won't go to wash cycle. It filled
Hi
Thanks for using FixYa. If the cycle doesn't complete/advance, then the first thing that should be checked is the Timer. Timers don't often fail, but if every other part of the dishwasher seems to be working properly and the timer knob seems to be stuck in one place--doing one function continuously--the timer may be at fault. Timers can't be repaired, if yours is defective, replace it. Please do accept the solution if the issue is resolved or post a comment for further assistance.
Thanks

My washer is leaking when
draining
Start with inspecting the entire lenghth of the drain hose for any type of pin hole or abrasions that could be the source of your leak.
If the leak seems to be coming from the inside of the machine, take a putty knife or something similar and insert it between the front panel and the top panel that the lid is connected to about two inches in from the edge of the side panels and you should feel a fastener, push inward or towards the back of the machine, you will have to push hard, this will seperate the top and front panels, lift up on the front panel and remove it, now inspect the inside of the machine and try to locate the source of the leak, you may have to run the washer thru different cycles(fill,drain,spin,etc.) to see the leak source.
Pay close attention to the pump area for the leak, this has been a source of leaks in the past, with a plastic pump housing, they have been known to develope leaks by way of holes worn thru the plastic housing!
GOOD LUCK !
