Possible Causes
Tripped circuit breaker, faulty outlet, damaged power cord, failed main control board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Use caution when working with electrical outlets. Turn off the breaker before inspecting wiring.
- Check breaker: Verify the circuit breaker is not tripped. Reset if necessary.
- Test outlet: Plug in another appliance or use a multimeter to confirm the outlet has 120 VAC.
- Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, burns, or crushed sections. Replace the cord if damaged.
- Check internal fuse: Some Maytag models have an internal fuse on the control board. Access the board and replace the fuse if blown, using the same rating.
- Replace control board: If power is present at the board but the unit remains dead, replace the main control board.
