Great "how to" video, thank you so much for showing us this "hack". Only addition I would add is, for those with their machines stacked, you can lean them both attached, but be careful and support the top dryer against the wall you are leaning toward.

Thanks for this, i have a tip. If you reach around the front side you can untwist the filter and pull it out and fully clean it. Dont have to take the hose off but to get all items out, probably best. I was able to undo the spring clamp with my hands, but easy with plyers too. Tip method is the best option here.

what panel did you take off??? just all of a sudden you were inside.
@DaddyDFLАй бұрын
@@lizzard414 Hi. Regarding the video I made, I didn't take a panel off. I slid it back away from the wall and then tipped it backwards to lean against the wall. It takes a couple tries to get that right. But once you get it to where it leans itself or tips itself against the wall, then you can get down underneath of it very carefully and everything that you need to work on is exposed. That's what you see in the video. That allows you to get access to what you need to without having to take the whole machine apart. I have a very narrow laundry room and I don't have enough space to lay it down on the floor. So be careful and get some help, if needed, to tip it back because the washing machine is very heavy.

My neighbor washed a small area rug that disintegrated during the wash. It left a foot long slug of compacted rug fiber in the drain and hose. The little drain hose did not work so I had to remove the large tub hose to drain about 7 gallons of water before I could clean the pump. Made a mess and was very inconvenient. This video was excellent and saved me from removing the front of the washer and causing a flood with the tub full of water. I guess a removable panel below the door was too smart/expensive and would cause less people to require service calls. The recommendation for the screw type hose clamp gets a thumbs up. That pinch ring is more trouble than it's worth mainly due to the position you have to be in to access it.

Just a heads up, if your washer is mounted on a pedestal, instead of removing the pedestal you can access this all thru the back. There are a lot of screws but that is it. No wiring involved. This is a little longer process but still better than trying to remove the pedestal. Many of the other tips from this video were spot on. Towel, hose clamp, etc. Thank you.

Get a container of Lysol wipes, or the like, and use them to go through the rubber gasket all around up inside all the nooks and crannies. You'll see it gets very black and that can also be generating odors too, because mold can grow in there. I wind up using quite a few wipes every few months just to keep it clean

Horrible design Maytag! This is offered as a stackable washer. Imagine what you need to do if you stack a dryer on top of this just to clean the filter. Most other manufactures have an access door right in front. All you need is a finger nail and the ability to turn clockwise. Companies do this intentionally so you have to call a plumber to charge you $500 just to perform simple maintenance. P.S. do not ever get underneath anything heavy without some kind of support or dunnage. In this case I would use a brick or jack or anything you can put under the unit to prevent it from coming down.

Anyone got tips on re-inserting pins. Also, when the motor came loose from PINs, I noticed a small black hose was loose and cannot find where it goes. It's an odd hose in that it has a hole on one end that is attached to the back of motor with a clamp but the other end does not have a hole. Thanks

If you're not comfortable with removing the hose, and/or don't want to deal with a new hose clamp, you can access the filter without doing so. You don't have to remove any screws or similar. There's enough space between the filter and the front of the machine, to unscrew and pull the filter out, as designed. You just have to reach around the assembly where the hose attaches to. It can be a little awkward, but once you find the right angle, so you can apply the right leverage to unscrew (and tighten it) it's super simple. See this video to know what you're reaching for: kzread.info/dash/bejne/gX-lqNOFZq_QpMY.html (note: I'm only sharing this video for illustration purposes, I am not suggesting you cut a hole in the front of your washer)

Hi. Where I disconnected the hose, you stick your finger in there and do a sweep. That's when you'll get the trash out. The filter itself is perforated plastic, only about 1" square.
