Try raising the front feet of the washer for better access. These screws are usually angled downward slightly which makes getting a nut driver, or screwdriver on them difficult. You can raise the front by placing a 2x4 under the front feet, or something similar. The screws are usually a torx (star) size T-2, or 7mm. If you need further assistance, please let me know.

PS If the screws simply will not turn, due to corrosion. You may have to spray them with a good penetrating oil to free them. (WD40 and PB Blaster are two common brands used).

Maytag 2000 series error codes

I have a Maytag Maxima frontload washer that was getting these two error codes. I found in my case it was due to the tub not draining water as quickly expected. On my model there were two screws at the bottom of the front panel (one on each side towards the floor) Once these screws were removed and my husband tilted the washer up I was able to get my hand behind the panel and unscrew the filter cap that is located towards the middle at the bottom. It is a large plastic circle that you unscrew. With your hand remove any gunk or objects blocking the filter (usually filled with gunk) screw the filter cap back in, screw the front panel screws in and try to run another load. I have had to do this twice so far. You would think if the filter needs to be cleaned out every year or so they would make it more easily accessible.

How does the bottom 2 pieces go on the front of the washer?

There are 2 lower panels. The bottom one goes on first, then the top. Allign the screw holes on the top of the top panel first and install screws. Then line up the bottom holes and install the screws through both panels. Simple, eh? Hope this helps!

I need to know how to get into my maytag washer.

it all depends on what type of maytag washer. 
  • assuming it is a top loader, and is a standard maytag washer then you will see 2 screws on the front panel almost at the bottom. take these out and you will be able to take the whole front panel off.
