Maytag Appliances – They work harder so you don’t have to

Maytag Dishwashers

With our busy lifestyles, we bump and go – the kids to the dentist, soccer practice, little league, etc. If any one of our appliances goes down, it’s mayhem! From breakfast to bedtime and everything in between, we depend heavily on our appliances. When any one of them stops working, your world comes to a screeching halt! Especially dishwashers – they have a tendency to make a HUGE mess when they quit!

If your Maytag dishwasher starts acting up, call LAFixit and stop worrying. In most cases, we will come out the same day. We suggest you try troubleshooting some of the more common problems by following the instructions in the user’s manual that is available for download. The problem could be an easy fix, possibly saving you a service call fee. Once you have attempted to resolve the issue, if it persists, be sure to call us to speak to one of our technicians or schedule a service call.

As one of Maytag’s authorized repair service centers, our technicians will identify the issue, and will only install manufacturer-approved parts on your appliances. Below are some common problems and possible quick fixes:

Dishwasher Dispenser not opening

• Check for rack or utensils blocking dispenser door
• Old powdered detergent clumped inside dispenser – clean and replace detergent

Dishwasher not starting

• Check power chords to see if plugged in
• Check power cord prongs for signs of burn residue—call LAFixit immediately-DO NOT PLUG BACK  IN
• Check for tripped breakers. If you reset the breaker and it “pops” again, call LAFixit immediately!
• Make sure door closes properly
• Check to ensure delay option is not ON
• Make sure water supply is properly connected

Dishwasher running too long

• Cycle time is anywhere from 1.5 to 3 hours long depending on the cycle and options selected.
• A delay automatically occurs in some wash and rinse cycles until the water reaches the proper temperature.
• Some models are equipped with an optical sensor wash that detects water temperature, soil, and detergent amount. Wash cycles are then adjusted based on what is sensed. When loads are overly dirty, the optical sensor will default to the longest cycle time available.
• If this is a new installation, the very first wash cycle will be adjusted to include an additional 2 rinses. This cycle must not be interrupted for proper sensor adjustment. If this adjustment cycle is canceled or stopped before the CLEAN light comes on at the end of the cycle, the next wash cycle will repeat this sensor adjustment.

Dishwasher not draining properly

Check for the following:

• Clogged drain hose
• Kinked drain hose
• Clogged filter
• Blocked pump (may require LAFixit – check owner’s manual on how to clean)

Maytag Refrigerators

Maytag’s Dual Cool® evaporators generate separate humidity levels in the refrigerator and freezer so you can depend on your fresh and frozen food staying its best. Somewhere between the grocery store and home, cold food becomes not so cold- that’s where Maytag’s PowerCold® feature gets everything in your refrigerator back to nice and cold, nice and quick.

If your Maytag refrigerator is equipped with an adjustable-temperature refrigerated drawer, you can select a custom temperature based on what you are storing. Decide what to use it for, and then select the perfect temperature to match. If your model comes with The Beverage Chiller™, that compartment is up to 4°F colder than the rest of the refrigerator so there is always a cool, refreshing drink available.

However, any one of these areas can quit working without notice. While that is not as bad as the refrigerator quitting altogether, it is frustrating to say the least. Unfortunately, this is a not consumer repair-friendly area with all the electronics involved. A quick call to LAFixit will have you back in up and running in no time. Check to make sure all the compartment doors close properly and are not blocked. Also ensure that the drawers are not overly full, causing them to stay open.

Refrigerator has stopped working

• Check the power cord and make sure it is plugged in
• Check for tripped breakers
• Test the outlet plug for power

Crisper drawers not keeping the temperature

• Check to make sure drawers are closing properly
• Check seals around the drawers for tears
• If warmer foods were recently put up in the crispers, allow time for the foods to cool down and check again in a couple of hours

Refrigerator warmer than usual

• If a heavy load of foods were recently put in the refrigerator, allow time for the foods to cool down and the temperature to even out; check in a couple of hours
• Listen for compressor. If it doesn’t kick on in a few minutes, call LAFixit Do not wait – food spoilage can run into several hundred dollars. Be sure to keep all doors closed as much as possible. We are open seven days a week and offer same-day service. As long as we do the job, our service calls are FREE.
• If room is warm and doors are opened frequently, ensure doors remain shut as much as possible
• Make sure door is sealing properly when closing
