Maytag MFS 25-35 manual Problem, The machine is not behaving as, Solving the problem

Problem Cause

The machine is not behaving as	• if the wrong machine type is
expected	selected the wrong outputs will be
	activated
	• the suspension is not working, the
	shock absorbers are cold
A program is started, but the outputs	• check if connector R and Q are
are not activated	connected
	• check if connector R and Q are not
	inverted
Dashes are displayed and on the	• this is a wait state caused by a
lower display a counter is counting	power interruption or a safety
down	sequence at the end of the process
Wrong water level	• check if the programmed water
(the water level sensor must not be	levels in the P-submenu are the
calibrated)	correct ones
	• check if the right machine type is
	selected in the S-submenu
	• you have changed the machine type
	but the standard water levels are not
	changed
The process is stopped and there is	• you can start a new program and
still water in the drum	advance the program to the tumble
	sequence
	• the drain is stopped up
	• the drain valve is blocked
The water does not stay in the	• the drain valve is not closing
machine
	• leakage of rubber between tub and
	drain valve
Machine is not filling or filling time is	• inlet taps are closed
too long	• water pressure too low
	• water is blocked somewhere
	• inlet valve filter is blocked
	• inlet valve is damaged
Machine is filling with water in the	• inlet valve is damaged
‘OFF’ position
Machine is leaking	• clamps of hoses are not tightened
	• some hose is damaged
	• sealing is damaged
	• supply and drain hoses are not
	connected properly
There is a door seal leakage	• the door rubber seal is damaged
	• insufficient door pressure
There is no warm water in the wash	• program is not correct
sequence	• the hoses are not correct connected
	• incoming supply is not warm
The heating time is too long	• heating elements are defective
	• wiring is damaged or wrong
	• calcium sediments cover the
	heating elements
There is too much vibration during	• bolts of cabinet and reinforcements
extracting	are not fixed properly
	• vibration switch is not correct
	installed
	• the suspension is damaged, the

Solving the problem

use the key switch at a distance less then 0,5 meter and in front of check the battery (the LED of the infrared key is eluminated when the button is pressed)

•check if the right machine type is selected in the S-submenu

•change shock absorbers or springs

•connect the connector at the correct position

•Pin Q10 must be supplied with 220Vac when the door is closed

•wait until the counter has reached 0

•do not switch of/on the power again as you will restart the counter

•set the right water levels

•select the right machine type in the S- submenu

•the standard water levels can only be reinitialised by changing the program Set in the S-submenu : standard wash

•advancing a program : turn the key switch in program-mode and press the start button

When the water is drained you can open the door

•clean the drain

•clean the drain valve

•check wiring from drain valve

•change drain valve when broken

•Replace rubber piece

•open inlet taps

•look at your supply installation

•check for kinks in the inlet hose

•close water inlet and clean filter

•replace inlet valve

•replace inlet valve

•tighten the clamps

•replace the hose

•change the sealing

•connect the hoses properly

•change the door rubber seal

•remove spacers from behind the hinges

•change program to correct temperature

•connect the supply hoses correctly, the incoming supply to the warm water inlet valve.

•use warm water supply, check your warm water installation

•change heating elements

•check, replace or repair wiring

•clean or replace the heating elements

•tighten the bolts

•reinstall vibration switch
