How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off the water supply valves when not diagnosing. Unplug the unit before removing hoses.
Step-by-step checks:
- 1. Confirm source: If water appears clean and clear, it is likely from the inlet valve. If dirty, it may be backing up from the drain.
- 2. Inspect inlet valve screens: Turn off water, remove hoses, and clean the screens in the valve inlets.
- 3. Test valve: With water turned on and the unit unplugged, observe whether water drips into the tub. Any flow indicates a leaking valve that must be replaced.
- 4. Replace valve: Install a new Maytag water inlet valve assembly and ensure hoses are properly reconnected.
