SOURCE: No spin

Code Lr indicates a fault or failure with the motor. Manual refers user to contact a service rep. First check your warrantee and do a look up on recalls (you can use the Maytag homepage) as some of the earlier versions of this model were recalled and Maytag has agree to some forms of restitution/repair and or replacement assistance.

SOURCE: error codes

If this machine is like other of its type then you may find the manual taped to the inside of the machine near the bottom side panel.
open the bottom access panel (3 screws on bottom front lip) and look for it as it will have the codes. near where the filter is .
while you were down there cleaning the filter did you check that the pump impellers move freely and were not clogged with any debris.

SOURCE: LD error code appears on maytag nepune washer

Roz,
You have some kinda something stuck in your drain pump. The computer that controls your washer has detected that it's taking too long to pump out and therefore refuses to spin.

Now this will take alot of work, but it'll save you a couple hundred, OK? First you have to get as much water out of the washer as possible. Fortunately on the Maytags you can do this fairly easily. Use a garden hose and connect it to the end of the drain hose (from the washer)... use duct tape to secure it. Then run the garden hose outside and make sure it's downhill. Now take the corrugated drain from your washer and lower it below the base of the washer. This will drain it completely.

After the water has drained, pull the washer away from the wall... enough for working space. AND DON'T FORGET TO UNPLUG IT! Remove the rear panel (4 screws) and you'll see a big pulley in front of you.To the lower left, you'll see the drain pump. It's mounted to the base of the cabinet. Use a 5/16" to remove the hose clamps then remove the hoses. Then remove the wires that feed the pump. When that is done, you should have the pump in your hand.

Now that you have the pump in hand you'll see the pump housing (it's white). There are three screws holding the pump housing to the motor. Remove them and separate the 2 parts.Now you'll see the cause of the problem. Some trash got pulled into it. Probably a rug bottom or a dog bed....

Remove the stuff and rebuild the unit in reverse order and you're good to go.

SOURCE: wont spin dc error code

If it?s a FAV6800AW or FAV8900AW and you want to DIY a fix take a look at this post and see if you or someone you know has some very basic mechanical skills and can do a clutch replacement or roller clutch bearing re-lube. The dc/UC unbalance errors are a very common failure issue with the FAV6800AW/FAV9800AW. A new clutch will cost around $80. This a common issue with the FAV6800AW and FAV9800AW. Don't spend $900 and don't trash your $1000 machine it is a easy fix just at tight work area. Post back after you read the post I link you to and you have any questions. Rich

SOURCE: making loud noise in the spin cycle and now does not spin at all

I have a 1998 model and the tub bearing was the problem with the same symptoms you have provided. I purchased a replacement (genuine Maytag) outer tub in 2007 and that fixed the problem. The old bearing was pulverized. The tub was 239.65. I got the parts from "Repairclinic.com>" I also replaced the door boot for 57.80. Today my spin/agitation cycles quit! The belt is ok but I haven't looked beyond that.

OKI c6150 with error msg 002-fatal error. please, I need a quick answer. do not have time to scroll through pages of older posts

If you printer has an additional memory card fitted then remove it (powered off of course) and turn on and see what happens. If the fatal error is still there then with the age of the machine (getting on in years) it is better to replace it as the error refers to the cpu in the control board and that's expensive on older machines to replace.

Washer has code nd wont drain and signals long beeps ,replaced pump and have the same problem hoses drained and didnt see any obstructions,old pump looks ok,matt

you probably used too much detergent or the wrong type. These new front loaders take no-suds detergent, a shot glass half full worth. The suds get in the water level tube and the level sensor and everywhere else, and cause mayhem. Run some loads with no detergent at all to try to clean the suds out. If the thing works like it should sometimes, it's a cheap fix. The brain power to find a problem and fix it for good, not so cheap. Water Level Switch 25315479-zejmo41uy3tce5x43qikgza0-5-0.jpg

Drain error still after making sure the washer was level, making sure the drain filter was clean, the drain was clear and replacing the pump motor assembly

LE error? Don't buy a new sensor, don't call a repairman and don't scrap it. The fix is EASY!

Turn the drum 4-5 times by hand to resettle the load, move spin speed to highest, Quick Wash, Speed Wash. It shoudl work just fine. I've had to do this a few times over the last 5 years. Why everyone wants you to BUY parts is beyond me....maybe they need to make some $$ ?

E20 ERROR CODE

Plug off the mains. First drain out all your water by lowering the exit hose into a bucket or drain. You have to look for screws below the front kick-panel, the panel comes down & out. The pump is on the right side. Be prepared for dirty water. Inside the big flexible tube (coming from the tub bottom) is the filter, be prepared to find all sorts of junk here, clean out. Examine your pump also, clean out the impeller. Carefully refit all. Your machine would be fine. Don’t wait for the machine to jam to look into your filter.

Danby error code 002

I spoke with Danby, and this error indicates the fact that the dishwasher is unable to fully drain. Likely causes are a kink in the hose, hose is too high on the drain pipe to drain, or, the pump motor is dying.

Seeing as mine's been mounted without fault in the same place for 2 years, I think I can tell you which one I have.
