No wash agitation or spin? try these: WATER PRESSURE SWITCH: This switch keeps your washer from overflowing. It is responsible for shutting off the power to the fill valve and redirects the power to the timer to start the washing machine running once the correct water level has been reached. Meter check ur water pressure switch? You can test it with a meter and with a manual test? ( first locate it in the panel, it has a plastic clear tube hose going into it, remove that tube from its connection, now put another small tube or hose into the slot where it was and have the machine set to wash cycle with water in it. Blow into the other end of the tube. If the machine starts to wash. the pressure switch is more than likely good ( No wash starts - then THE DIAPHRAGM IS BAD AND SWITCH HAS TO BE REPLACED) another test u can do is Remove the hose and submerge in water. Seal one end and blow air into the other end and look for bubbles. Check for an obstruction in the hose as well. Or take the original hose tube and plug one end and blow into it AT the other end, it should be hard and have pressure, if it is easy to blow and u dont feel any pressure and it feels like the air is going out ? Sometimes they get busted open or a pin hole and release air causing the water switch diaphragm to not open. Another test u can make with a multi meter is by testing the prongs individually. # 15,16,17 (don't worry to much bout the numbers IF U GET THEM WRONG) place ur meter prongs on both out side prongs or connectors of the switch. (where the wire plugs into) take note of weather it shows OHMS or infinity ( open or close circuit) ? Now place the meter on the left outside and the middle prong, take note agin what it shows. Now place meter prong on the right outside and the middle prong. Agin take note what reading u get. ( you should actually get a reading of infinity in 1 and a reading of continuity or ohms in the other 2? Now the tricky part. Agin place a small tube or hose into the switch and blow into it, using the meter do the same test agin on all prongs. But now keep the pressure on the switch when u blow into it, in other words use ur tongue on one end of tube to not allow air to escape. When u test it agin now one of the prongs that once read infinity should now show continuity or ohms, and 1 of the other prongs that read ohms should now read infinity or open. . Motor Coupling If the washer won't spin or agitate the motor coupling might have failed. The motor coupling connects the motor to the washer transmission. It is designed to fail if the washer is overloaded in order to protect both the motor and Drive Belt If the washer won't spin or agitate, check the drive belt. If the belt is broken or if it isn't tight on the pulleys the washer won't spin or agitate properly. mode shifter and or Drive Motor If the washer won't spin or agitate the drive motor might be defective. This is not common. Check all of the other related parts to this symptom before replacing the motor. If the motor is visibly burned out or physically damaged, replace it. Stator Assembly If the washer won't spin or agitate the stator assembly might be burned out. The stator is essentially one half of a motor, it interacts with the tub by creating a strong electro-magnet. If the stator burns out the washer won't spin or agitate. Check the stator for continuity. This part is often misdiagnosed. Transmission or clutch assembly not engaging due to going out or slipping.Door or Lid Latch Assembly If the washer won't spin or agitate the lid switch assembly might be defective. This is a very common problem. The lid switch assembly can fail either mechanically or electrically. Test any electrical switches with an Ohm meter for continuity. The switches should have continuity according to their design. Door Lock Motor and Switch Assembly If the washer won't spin or agitate the door lock assembly should be checked. The door lock can fail either mechanically or electrically. Test any switches on the door lock with an Ohm meter. The switches should have continuity according to their design.Motor Control Board If the washer won't spin or agitate the motor control board might be defective. The motor control board provides power to the motor as well as direction and force. If the motor control board is defective the washer may not work at all or function properly. CHECK THE CAM DOGS INSIDE THE AGITATOR, AS THEY WILL HINDER THE AGITATION PROCESS. However in G.E models the cam dogs are replaced with what is called an agitator coupler. (located at bottom of tub)Remember to check the agitator spline as well for worn broken teeth.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfWRyt1vj2wBy the way my advice is free cuz God is good!
Do you have children? Lid locks were introduced after a child put his arm into a spinning washing machine and had his arm torn off out of its socket. If you have children, please don't do this. Buy the part and replace the lock. $22 for a new one!

But if you really want to do it....
Do you have children or a husband that leaves things in pockets? Something may be between the inner and outer drum. If you get a flashlight and put it on the holes in the inner drum, it will illuminate between the two. You can also try spinning the drum by hand, listen and feel.
Black spots on clothes from a washing machine can be caused by several issues:
Detergent buildup: Clean the detergent dispenser to remove any buildup.
Hard water deposits: Install a water softener to remove minerals that can leave spots on clothes.
Lint buildup: Clean the lint filter to prevent lint buildup.
Poor-quality detergent: Switch to a high-quality detergent.
Agitator problems: Check the agitator for any damage or issues.
If the issue persists, it is recommended to have a professional technician diagnose and repair the problem as it may require technical skills and specialized tools.
The F9, E1 is a long drain situation, I have seen that caused by an apple stalk caught in ribs of the drain hose that caused a build up of lint which partially blocked the drain. Remove the drain hose and the top hook and flush it through from both ends.
However, the humming is telling you that either the start/run capacitor on the motor is failing. On some models there is a motor control board. It is better to call for service on a fault like that. The capacitor can be tested. The control board can be replaced. The whole motor is an expensive replacement.

The F5 E2 alert indicates the washer can't engage the lid lock because there may be an obstruction in the lid lock area. Please check the lid lock area and remove any objects in that area.

If you are experiencing pulsating hot water in your Maytag washing machine, it is likely due to an issue with the water inlet valve. The water inlet valve is responsible for controlling the hot and cold water that enters the washer. Over time, it can become worn or damaged, which can cause the water flow to pulsate or switch between hot and cold.
To fix this issue, you may need to replace the water inlet valve. This can be done either by a professional or on your own, although it is recommended to seek help from a professional if you are inexperienced with appliance repairs.
Before replacing the water inlet valve, you should also check the hoses for any blockages or kinks, as this can also cause pulsating water flow. Additionally, inspect the pressure switch and the timer, as these can also be a source of the problem.
Once the repair is complete, ensure to check the water pressure in the washer to make sure that it is operating correctly.

Possible bad tooth in the timer gears. Replace the timer. Be sure to take a few snapshots with a phone in case you get wires mixed up Mark same color wires and replace them one by one. (BE SURE TO UNPLUG UNIT BEFORE CHANGING TIMER!)
If your Maytag washing machine is making a loud noise during the spin cycle and is not draining the water, there are a few possible causes. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem:
Check the drain hose: Make sure the drain hose is not clogged or kinked. If the hose is clogged or kinked, water may not be able to drain properly.
Check the pump: The pump is responsible for draining the water from the washing machine. If the pump is not working properly, it may be making a loud noise and not draining the water. You can check the pump by removing the front panel of the washing machine and locating the pump. Check for any visible damage or obstructions.
Check the belt: The belt is responsible for turning the pump. If the belt is worn or broken, the pump may not be able to drain the water properly. You can check the belt by removing the back panel of the washing machine and inspecting the belt.
Check the bearings: The bearings are located in the drum of the washing machine and can wear out over time, causing a loud noise during the spin cycle. If the bearings are worn out, they will need to be replaced.
If you are not comfortable troubleshooting the problem yourself, you may want to contact a professional appliance repair service for
This issue could be caused by a number of things. It is possible that the clothes are not properly balanced in the wash drum, causing them to wrap around the agitator. It could also be a problem with the agitator itself, or with the transmission.
A squealing noise during the sensing cycle of your Maytag top-load washer can be caused by a number of factors. Here are some common reasons and steps you can take to resolve the issue:
Loose belt - The noise could be caused by a loose or worn belt that needs to be tightened or replaced. You may need to remove the front panel of the washer to access the belt.
Idler pulley - If the idler pulley that keeps tension on the belt is worn or damaged, it can cause a squealing noise. Replace the idler pulley if necessary.
Bearing - A worn bearing in the tub can cause a squealing noise. Replacing the bearing will typically require disassembling the washer.
Drive motor - If the drive motor is worn or damaged, it can cause a squealing noise. Replace the drive motor if necessary.
If you're not comfortable diagnosing and repairing the issue yourself, it's best to contact a qualified appliance repair technician for assistance.
If you have cleaned the drain pump of your Maytag washer model MAH8700AWW and it is still leaving a small amount of water in the tub after the drain cycle, this may be causing the nd error to show up.
One thing you can do is to check the drain hose to make sure it is not kinked or obstructed, as this can also cause the washer to not drain properly. If the drain hose is clear and there is still water remaining in the tub after the drain cycle, you may need to check the drain pump itself to make sure it is working properly.
It is also possible that there could be a problem with the water level switch or the control board, but you have mentioned that the board tests good according to the troubleshooting book included with the washer.
If you have tried these steps and the issue persists, it may be necessary to consult a professional technician to diagnose and repair the issue with your Maytag washer.
