So far, very happy with the washer.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very happy so far. Gets clothes cleaner than a front loader. Does lots of automated sensing to ensure right water level and cycle. The only negative is that I am too short to reach into the bottom of the basket.

Do not recommend
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice look but that’s about it! It is not quiet by any means and the biggest flaw is even if you load it evenly after the wash cycle the load is uneven and the washer stops completely. You then have to pull at soaking wet items to re level the load just to get it washed. I have had to do it 3-4 times per cycle. The banging it makes when it’s not level sounds like the whole machine is about to explode! Terrible design flaws I hate that due to quarantines and deaths in my family I missed the return date. Sure wish I had my money back on this one. The delay start is useless because if the load gets unbalanced while you are not home you come home to unwashed clothes!

Posted .We regret the concerns you are having with your Maytag® Washer. If your clothes are not clean, please see the condensed troubleshooting tips below:
1. Initial Setup & Water Supply
New Installation: Run an empty "Quick Wash" cycle with HE detergent before the first load to clean the drum and prime the dispenser.
Water Temperature: Use hot or warm washes if safe for the fabrics (check care labels). Note that warm/hot water may be cooler than in previous washers.
Hose Connection: Verify the hot water inlet hose is connected to the hot supply and the cold to the cold supply. Reversed hoses can cause warm rinses. Ensure both household faucets are completely turned on.
2. Cycle and Settings
Cycle Selection: Choosing the correct cycle is crucial, as each is an optimized combination of agitation, spin speed, and water temperature tailored for fabric and soil levels.
Temperature: Select the warmest wash water safe for your fabric.
Soil Level (Wash Time): Adjust the soil level for your load (Light to Extra Heavy). Use the Extra Power button for heavily soiled items. Lighter settings help reduce tangling/wrinkling.
Spin Speed: Faster spin speeds shorten dry times but may increase wrinkling.
3. Detergent and Additives
Detergent: Use only HE or High-Efficiency detergent and always measure it based on soil level and load size. Using too much or non-HE detergent causes excessive suds, poor cleaning, and can lead to a reduced spin speed (very wet loads). Maytag recommends Swash® laundry detergent.
Fabric Softener: Measure, dilute, and add it to the rinse portion of a cycle only to avoid staining.
Liquid Chlorine Bleach: Always measure and follow directions; undiluted bleach will damage fabric.
4. Loading and Routine
Loading: Load items in loose heaps evenly around the washplate. The load must move freely for proper cleaning; you may need to reduce your load size.
Sorting: Separate darks from lights and whites to prevent dye transfer.
Clean Washer Cycle: Run this cycle approximately once per month (using affresh® Washer cleaner) to recalibrate the control, reset water levels, and remove build-up.
