Maytag front loader shutting off mid cycle


Recommended Posts

I have a maytag MAH20PNAWW front load washing machine and its shutting off during initial fill, time stays on 37min then finally shuts off, I reselect cycle and it continues with no other problems with exception of doing the same thing at 21min but only occasionally, I believe it's exceeding the fill time because the first fill is close to 6min before it moves on to next cycle,  I've cleaned out the metal inlet screens not sure what else to check. Thanks

This Tech Bulletin may apply to your issue: Your model is listed at the top of the document I pasted this from...

Washer stops in mid-cycle and/or flashes a code.

Action :     The motor drive system experienced a momentary loss of neutral feed from the power cord to the
Motor Control Board. The neutral line for the Motor Control Board passes across the water valve
solenoids. Neutral to the motor drive system can be momentarily lost If there is poor crimping of any
of the wire terminals in this circuit. This situation could result in a misdiagnosis and unnecessary
replacement of the Motor or Motor Controller Board.


Current Neptune front load washers will indicate a false locked rotor signal to the Machine Control
Board. Washers with a LED display will flash code “LR” in the display. LCD washers will display
“Locked Rotor.” The earlier built front loaders will not display a code, but simply shut down in midcycle
or will not start.


Pull each terminal of the white wire harness connected to each water valve solenoid and verify the
wire is properly stripped and crimped to the metal terminal connector of the wire harness. Make sure
the wires fit snug on the terminals of the water valve solenoids.
A product improvement has been made to the following models. The neutral wire is routed across
the pump only, and now by passes the water valve solenoids.

So check that neutral!
