MAH6700AWW Maytag Washer - Instructions

I had to pull the washer out from the wall. SInce it is in front of the door going out into the garage made it dificult getting tools. I had to lay on my side doubled up in order toget to the hose. I used a bit extention so that I could get the clamp loose. Cut the time in half by using a drill with a phillips head screw bit. The only real hard part was getting the new one up tight on the drain. Used a heavy duty screw driver to push it up so the clamp would bite.

My husband simply removed the old sensor and put the new one in. It was not difficult.

Removed the broker door lever with screwdriver, installed the door lever with screwdriver. Took about 5 minutes.

I had noticed the latch on door was split so I ordered the latch, but before I could put it on, the latch on the front of washer was locked. I then looked at the messages from others on this site for help. My daughter and I unscrewed the 2 screws on the top back, removed top, pulled the control panel up, unscrewed the front, unscrewed the 3 screws for latch, pulled old one out. I located the part, ordered it and got it in 2 days! Put new latch in and screwed everything back the way it was and in 15 minutes, the washer is running! (I am a woman too!)

Very easy repair, once I read the reviews and watched a couple of you tube videos. I just released the band holding the gasket in place, pulled it back, unscrewed the latch and installed a new one. Less than a 10 min job. I am glad I found this web site, thanks guys!!

Took both the screws out on the top back. Lifted up the back about 1/2 inch and slid to the back. Reached into the front of the washer where the latch was connected. Disconnected the 3 wires (plugs) attached to the latch, took out the 3 screws located inside the washer door. Took a second person just to hold the latch and bring it out after the screws were off the front inside the washer door. Put new latch in, connected the wires, put in the screws behind the washer door (3 of them) and slid the top into place and put the screws in the back. Takes longer to tell you than to do it. Remember the screw on the left side front (top) as you face the washer and remove that screw. The plastic had disintegrated on mine but am not going to replace that part until I have to.

I replaced the part.

I started by watching the repair video on the site. Only tools needed were a phillips head screwdriver and a standard screwdriver. had the whole thing done and operational in about 15 minutes

Used online video which was really good. After changing the lever, I realized I needed to order a new latch because it was broken also.

Unplug electric. Open door. Peel rubber bladder back from washer door seal enough to expose wire retension ring. Remove three screws that hold door latch. Remove latch. Remove three wire harnesses. With new latch, reattach wire harnesses. Insert latch. Secure to machine with the three screws. Refit door seal and secure with retension ring. Plug in electric. Done.

Took back panel off. Replaced the drain pump

Service repair tech ordered the outside door part and the door safety piece. (plastic shield that covers the glass inside door.) Outside door piece came in within week. Could not get other part in (backordered). Found online and had it within 4 days. Two screws hold hinge on to washer front. After removing hinge screws, pick up on door to clear the tabs on back of hinge through the tab holes in the back hinge brace. (This does not have to be removed. After removing door, unscrewed all screws in back of door to disassemble. Removed hing from hinge slots on door front and inserted into new door hinge slots. Snapped new door safety onto back of new door front by aligning tabs on door safety and outer door piece. Replaced glass bowl and door back by replacing screws in screw holes and tighten. Reattached door by inserting tabs on back of hinge into tabs on washer front and tightening hinge screws.

My husband read on the Internet how common this problem is and how easy we could do it ourselves rather than pay the service etc.... While reading there was a link for Part Select. We simply found the part with-in minutes and ordered. They have PayPal so I basically ordered it in less than 1 minute, emailed my receipt and DONE! We selected overnight shipping because the laundry was piling up - we received the part less than 24 hours and I was up and running before dark! PERFECT!

The washer comes up with the D5 error if either the door is not shut correctly, or it can not detect that the washer is drained. I had to put the washing machine on its side to access the bottom. There is an access hole that you can get the pump from. I unplugged the pump, then removed the bolts to take it out. The pump comes apart with a few screws removed. I saw that the magnet inside was broken in half. Putting a new pump back in solved the issue.

Checked owners manual for diagnostics. Pointed to door lock mechanism, so we replaced. didnt work. Went online to Just Answers.com, chatted with pro named Mike(for the fee of $25) and without getting full description, he told me to replace pressure sensor. Bought one here for $50, replaced it, and still the problem lingered. Called a real Technician to the house, for $90, and he spent 4 minutes looking and tapping, and voilla, it worked. Turns out it was a stuck relay on the control board, and the tapping loosened it. He told me I may have trouble with it in the future. If so, I would buy one here. Thanks
