Maytag Washing Machine

What is the correct way to install the drain hose for my Maytag washer?

Place the drain hose into the standpipe or over the side of the laundry tub, ensuring that 4.5 inches of the drain hose is inside the standpipe. Do not force excess hose into the standpipe or lay it on the bottom of the laundry tub. Use a cable tie to secure the drain hose to the laundry tub leg or drain standpipe to reduce splashing.

Why is my washer showing an E2 error code?

E2 indicates a drainage error. You should inspect the drain hose and pump for obstructions, check for any kinks or blockages in the drain hose, and ensure the hose is installed at the correct height and not submerged in water. If the issue persists, contact customer service for assistance. [Page 1]

What is the correct height for installing my washer's drain?

The top of the standpipe or laundry tub should be at least 39 inches above the floor, and the drain should be installed no higher than 96 inches from the bottom of the washer. This ensures proper drainage and prevents siphoning issues. [Page 1]

Can I use an extension cord to plug in my Maytag washer?
