Maytag 60-Hz Complete Installation, Electromechanical Models, Level the washer

Level the washer

1.Tilt washer forward raising back legs 1" (2.5 cm) off of floor, to adjust rear self-leveling legs. Gently lower washer to floor.

2.Check levelness of the washer by placing a carpenter’s level on top of the washer, first side to side; then front to back.

3.If washer is not level, adjust the front legs up or down. Make final check with level.

4.When washer is level, use a wrench to turn the nuts on front legs up tightly against the washer base. If nuts are not tight against washer base, the washer may vibrate.

Complete Installation

1.Check the electrical requirements. Be sure that you have the correct electrical supply and the recommended grounding method.

2.Check to be sure all parts are now installed. If there is an extra part, go back through the steps to see which step was skipped.

3.Turn on water faucets and check for leaks. Tighten couplings if there is leaking. Do not overtighten; this could cause damage to faucets.

4.Check to be sure you have all of your tools.

5.Check that the shipping strap was removed from the back of the washer and used to secure the drain hose. If entire strap is not removed, washer may vibrate and be noisy.

NOTE: On some models, during factory testing, the timer is advanced partially into the cycle causing the start button to be depressed. Allow timer to advance to the end of the cycle. When the cycle is complete, the timer will reset and the start button will return to the start position. If the timer is not allowed to advance to the end of the first cycle and reset, the wash load will not be completed.

Electromechanical Models

1.Check the wash cycle time. The washer has a 9-minute wash in the Normal Cycle. Remove the timer from the meter case of the washer to manually start the timer. Start the washer and allow it to complete the Normal cycle. Timers can be started by turning the clutch assembly counterclockwise until the washer starts to fill with water.

Rotate counterclockwise only

Timer “off” position

2.If the washer fails to start or does not give the proper washer cycle time, the clutch assembly of the timer can be adjusted.

3.Remove the timer from the meter case. Adjust the clutch assembly screw clockwise if the washer does not start after the coin slide mechanism has been fully actuated in or out. Adjust the clutch assembly counterclockwise if the washer segment of the Normal cycle was less than 9 minutes.
