My Maytag washing machine leaves residue (lint? soap?) on clothes

My Maytag washing machine leaves residue (lint? soap?) on my clothes. It is very hard to wash it out. Could the self cleaning filter be clogged? If so, how can I fix that problem?

    I have the same problem with my Maytag Bravos. I washed 1 full flat sheet, 1 full fitted sheet, and 2 pillow cases and they came out the same way. That shouldn't be too many items in the washer at one time. All my clothes come out like this and can't seem to find a solution anywhere.

Is there any kind of recall on a Maytay front loading washer, model #MAH6500AWW? I am having problems with mildew in the rubber part and terrible smelling water in the bottom.

The cleaning process for your Maytag Neptune front-loading washer, for example, requires some time and patience. Over time, your washing machine will need to be cleaned. It can develop offensive odors through multiple wash cycles. This makes the washing machine less effective at cleaning the clothes you put into it. Maytag offers some sound advice for cleaning your front-loading washing machine.
  • Pour 2/3 cup of liquid chlorine bleach into the bleach compartment of the dispenser drawer of your Maytag Neptune front-loading washer.

  • 2

    Run your Maytag Neptune front-loading washer on the "Clean Washer" setting. Press "Start" to start the cycle.

  • 3

    Leave the door open once the cycle is complete to allow the inside of your Maytag Neptune front-loading washer to ventilate and air dry.

  • 4

    Look closely at the gray seal of the Maytag Neptune front-loading washer's door opening. This seal can have a buildup of debris or detergent residue.

  • 5

    Spray the seal with an all-purpose appliance cleaner and scrub away any debris or residue with a cloth or scrubbing pad. Dry with a clean cloth.

  • 6

    Remove the soap dispenser drawer. Press the release lever and lift it out to clean.

  • 7

    Take out the inserts and rinse them and the drawer thoroughly.

  • 8

    Wash with a mild soap and cloth to remove any residue. Dry thoroughly before replacing.


  • ALWAYS LEAVE THE DOOR OPEN WHEN NOT IN USE! This prevents the mold and mildew from forming once you get it cleaned.

    My stakable maytag washer leaves lint marks on the

    new washer have what is called a washer drain protector, in other words it's a lint catcher for washers and your model has no such part. Do you use powder or liquid detergent? It seems to me that what you see is residue from too much detergent if you use powder. I've heard others with this complaint and to no avail can figure out the cause of this, at least from a view point of a simple wash.

    Clothing are left with lint after washing cycles

    Seperate fluffy linty clothes and wash those separately; never mix that stuff up. Also keep the dark and lights separate.I do a number of smaller loads that are in a lot of water; you get cleaner clothes and less wear. Overloads are hard on the washer and the clothes. Rots of Ruck.

    The lint is not being washed from machine. All dark clothing has lint residue. How can I rectify this problem please? Currently my husband using damp cloth has to wipe over black clothing extensively prior...

    the self cleaning lint filter seems to be clogged. before you replace it try this cheap/ easy remedy.
    • run a load with no clothes on high water level, hot water and a gallon or two of bleach.
    •  no soap. 
    • do an extra rinse after to make sure you rinse all the bleach away before putting more clothes in.
    the lint filter may be defective since it has always had this problem, but its worth a try.

    Crosley CAWC529JQ1 top load washer LEAVES LINT ON CLOTHING

    try washing on a shorter time as this washer may have too good of wash action and the lint is fabric coming off your clothing
    add more soap powder and do not buy the cheapest soap as the soap is important in the washing cycle of your machine
    towels that are not too soiled brobably need 6 minutes at most on wash
    if this machine has a delicate wash cycle use that for tee shirts etc
    water pressure is important in rinse cycles
    do you have high pressure and water only trickles in check water inlets on back of machine where the hoses screw on
    good luck
