Hi Brian, sounds like a faulty control panel, I recommend unplugging and re plugging the unit back in, if still not working it may be a faulty control board. Thank you for your question and good luck with your repair!

My washer is given a E2 and an F6 code and will not work on any wash cycle but it does get power.What do I need to repair it.The washer has a steam cycle on it too.Serial number C91570535.Thank you for your help!
For model number WTW8500DC5

Hi Shelli, Thank you for writing. This error code indicates there is a communication fault between the main control board and the washer motor. We suggest check all the wiring between the two components. If there is no obvious damage, you can use a multimeter to test the connections. We hope this helps!

Loud squeal while spinning . Assuming bearing
For model number WTW8500DC5
PartSelect logo
Hi Zach, thank you for your question. Based on our understanding of the issue, first, we would recommend making sure that the load is balanced inside the tub and the washer is level. If that is not causing the issue, then you may need to check the stator, part number PS11769960, as it is most likely dusty or worn out and may need to be replaced. We hope this helps!

Keep searches simple. Use keywords, e.g. "leaking", "pump", "broken" or "fit".
Loud grinding noise when the washer was in use.
1.) disconnect power to your washer. Turn off water supply and disconnect from the washer.

open the washer top and remove plastic cap from the wash plate

2.) using 7/16 socket, remove bolt from the wash plate. If you can't remove it with a socket , I recommend using impact wrench.

3.) remove wash plate ( you might need to spray penetrating oil or wd40 inside the bolt hole to loosen it.
Check to make sure the wash plate gear grooves are not worn down, if they are, replace it.

4.) using your Maytag specific spaner nut wrench, remove the spaner nut from the shaft of the gear case. This should be right underneath where the wash plate was. If you can't turn it by hand , use a rubber mallet or hammer to encourage it.

5.) some people remove the wash basket at this point. I don't think it is necessary.

6.) close your washing machine. Tape the top closed to keep it from flying open. Tilt your washer back and prop it up where you have access to the underside of the washing machine.

7) remove motor rotor bolt and pull rotor off of the motor.

8.) disconnect the two wire connectors that supply power to motor. using a socket, remove bolts that are keeping motor attached to the gear case.

9.) Now that the gear case is all the is remaining on the underside, you can remove the 4 bolts that are holding the gear case to the washer. Now try to pull gear case out.

10.) if gearcase will not pull out, lower washer back to upright position. Spray penetrating oil or wd40 around the shaft of the gearcase and allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes. Using a hammer, lightly tap on the shaft of the gearcase and it should now fall out. ( you might have to apply penetrating oil again, or apply more force with the hammer.

11.) reinstall motor to new gearcase. Insert new gear case to the washer. Reinstall bolts and reconnect power supply wires.

12. ReInstall spaner nut inside the washer, reinstall wash plate.

Washer plate replacement
As women, myself and my daughter completed this fairly simple repair. The replacement washer plate was top quality and included the washplate replacement screw. Additionally, we purchased a tube of lock tight to further secure bolt placement. The most difficult part of the repair is to disengage old screw and securely replace with new one. Very pleased with fast delivery Excellent customer service and top quality part.
Thanks
