Maytag Atlantis MAV6000 Top Load Washer - Page 2 Questions & Answers
Leaking and saying overflow
it could be the air sensor for water level but more detailed info would help. is it still going through all cycles even when it leaks out and is water still being put in? or is it empty going through the cycles?
Hot water runs very slowly
Your screens on water valve maybe clogged, if not your water valve on washer is partially restricted. You may just have to replace valve assembly.
Wont agitate
Check the coupler between the motor and transmission
Motor frozen
I seriously doubt your motor burned up. They have thermal protectors that shut it down when certain temps are reached. Likely the empellers of drain pump are jambed with toothpicks. You access it easily by removing the front panel. From
either edge slide a putty knife inserted about 3/4" along the top
edge of the panel. About 4" from the edge you will come into
contact with a clip. Remove the putty knife and insert where the clip
is. Push in a little and you should feel a springy resistance. Push
in harder and you will lift the clip past a cut-out notch at the top
of the panel. If you push till the blade comes to a stop you should
be able to put your fingers on the top corner of the panel and give
it a slight tug to free it. Don't pull too hard just enough to clear
the clip. Then repeat procedure on other corner. Once it pops open
set it aside but prop it up with something. When they fall over they
sound like a gun going off the way they slap the floor. Do your heart
a favor. The pump is probably a plastic that you can see through with the help of a flashlight. you will probably have to remove it to get them all out. Prepare for excess water in hoses if tub is empty. If tub is full of water bail as much as possible or use a wet and dry vac. Let me know if you run into trouble.
Unit will not spin after putting in new pulley assembly
Possibly the clutch spring but I wouldn't discount that the drum motor wasn't damaged from the strain it had on it from damaged mechanical parts. Sometimes the coils in the motor are burned out...a weak motor is the result!
Maytag atlantis washer stops mid cycle
It is
possible that the machine does not start off the cycle because there are errors
due to feedback from the inputs. For the program to start up the main program
controller must initiate the INLET/MOTOR/DRAIN
pump/ valve to open up and allow each function to be driven starting from
the flow of water into the drum as also the drain valve to open to exit the
water at the point of the program cycle. If this does not happen then the
voltage at the valve/motor/pump must be checked or the fault relates to no
voltage from the controller. This means
the controller is a suspect.
If the fault repeats all the time to stop after a said period then it can be a fault on the panel board. check also the power supply to the board, check power to the processor.
