I just had my Neptune Washer FAV6800AAW repaired because it was not draining nor completing its final spin cycle. ( appx. 9 mins remaining). After replacing the pulley clutch assembly everything was better until I went to wash my king size bed mattress cover. It repeated the same problem as before. I can wash the lighter loads but the heavy load, one wet cotton mattress cover, will not completly cycle. What now?
Clutch issue and possible time for a tub seal replacement

What a shame that this name brand appliance has no fix. I will never buy another Maytag or Whirlpool product again. Has anyone had any success?
Water continues to run while machine moves through wash cycles from Maytag FAV6800AWW washer. Is it a sensor problem or water valve problem? Any ideas on how to fix it?
Post for Guest on Feb 16, 2009…. It would be better to open up a new problem on your FAV6800A machine with the water fill issue. We will need to troubleshoot the issue and not comingle this issue with this post. In the mean time try this for initial troubleshooting steps for your issue.From your description the H/C valves are not stuck open because water only flows during the wash cycle is that correct? If that is correct there may be an issue with pressure switch not signaling the control board water fill level has been reached. Do you have the Service Manual for the FAV6800A? If not you can grab it from this site, go to Tips & Tricks and download then go to page 16. Become familiar with getting into service mode real easy to do. We want to test High Water level /Medium Water Level sensing and feedback to the control board. For reference doing the test on page 16 for my FAV6800AWW low water fill = 3.75” of water in wash basket for medium fill (display reads -1) and 7.0” for high water fill (display reads ~1) ~ = upper level dash mark.
