Draining a Maytag top load washer can vary slightly depending on the specific model you have. However, most Maytag top load washers have a similar process for draining excess water. Here's a general guide to help you:
Turn off the Washer: If the washer is currently running, stop the cycle and turn off the machine by pressing the "Power" button or rotating the timer knob to the "Off" position.
Wait for a Few Minutes: After turning off the washer, give it a few minutes to complete any draining processes that might be programmed.
Access the Drain Hose: Once the washer has had a few moments to complete its draining, you'll need to access the drain hose. The drain hose is usually located at the back of the machine near the bottom. It is typically attached to a drain pump or a drain outlet.
Position a Drain Pan: Place a shallow drain pan or a bucket beneath the drain hose to catch any water that comes out.
Remove the Drain Hose: Carefully detach the drain hose from the drain pump or outlet. Be prepared for water to flow out once you disconnect the hose. Allow all the water to drain into the drain pan or bucket.
Check the Tub: After the water has drained, check inside the washing machine tub to make sure there are no remaining items or debris.
Reconnect the Drain Hose: Once you're sure the water has completely drained, reattach the drain hose securely to the drain pump or outlet.
Close the Lid: Close the washer's lid properly.
Restart the Washer: If you need to continue using the washer, you can now restart it with your desired settings.
It's essential to check the specific model's user manual for your Maytag washer to ensure you follow the manufacturer's guidelines correctly. If you encounter any difficulties or have concerns, consider consulting Maytag's customer support or contacting a professional technician for assistance.
