Maytag Intermittent Control or Power Interruption

Washer intermittently stops mid-cycle without draining or spinning, no error code, then may resume later.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Loose power cord, failing main control relay, overheating motor causing thermal cutout, loose door/lid lock connection

Safety first: Unplug the washer before inspecting internal components.

Step-by-step:

Check power cord and outlet: Ensure a tight connection and no signs of arcing or heat damage.
Inspect control board: Look for loose connectors or signs of overheating on the CCU.
Check motor temperature: If the washer stops after long runs and restarts after cooling, the motor may be overheating and need replacement.
Inspect door/lid lock wiring: Loose connections can cause intermittent stops; reseat connectors.
