Maytag front loader will not drain or spin. Unplugged and tried reset (open and shut 6 times in 12 seconds.) Nothing happened.

We would recommend inspecting the drain pump as most likely there is a foreign object stuck in the drain line or pump therefore causing your washer to neither spin or drain.

Replaced the pump, line clear, a load of clothes will get about half way through a wash cycle and stop. We have another washing machine on the way but I would sure like to figure out what’s wrong with this one.

Have you checked the door latch assembly to see if it is working properly? It may have an intermittent problem. Test with a meter and see if it is performing as required.

I have not checked the door latch assembly. How do I do this? Do I use a volt meter?

My washing machine will wash clothes but it wont drain when clothes are inside. Then when there’s no water in it just some in the base it drains and spins?? And that’s the only way it will spin clothes also.
