Hi Pucara, firstable let me thank you for your prompt response to my Q.
I do have the owner's manual but the 4 troubleshooting pages available do not list this error. I've included them here just in case if you ever need them in the near future. I hope you'll be able to help me out. Thanks.

TROUBLESHOOTING

MODEL: MAH9700AWW

Stops :

• Plug cord into live electrical outlet.
• Check fuse or reset circuit breaker.

• Close door and press the

Cycle Selector dial to start the washer. For your safety, the washer

will not tumble or spin unless the door is closed.
• Before the washer starts to fill, it will make a series of clicking noises to check the door lock
and do a quick drain.
• This may be a pause or soak period in the cycle.Wait briefly and it may start.

• Check screens on inlet hoses at the faucets for obstructions. Clean screens periodically.

Fills with the Wrong Temperature Water:
• Turn both faucets on fully.
• Make sure temperature selection is correct.
• Make sure hoses are connected to correct faucets. Flush water lines.
• Check the water heater. It should be set to deliver a minimum 120° F (49° C) hot water at
the tap.Also check water heater capacity and recovery rate.
• Disconnect hoses and clean screens. Hose filter screens may be plugged.
• As the washer is filling, the water temperature may change as the automatic temperature
control feature checks incoming water temperature.This is normal.
• While the washer is filling, you may notice just hot and/or just cold water going through the
dispenser when cold or warm wash temperatures are selected. This is a normal function of
the automatic temperature control feature as the washer determines the temperature of the
water.

tumble or spin unless the door is closed.

tumble or spin unless the door is closed.

Load is too wet at end of cycle:

• Use the High or Max Extract spin speed.
• Use high efficiency detergent to reduce over-sudsing.
• Load is too small. Very small loads (one or two items) may become unbalanced and not spin

out completely.

OPERATING SOUNDS

High-pitched sound
during a spin cycle:
• The motor increases speed to spin the tub to remove moisture from the load.

Flushing water sound
coming from the

dispenser area:
• Detergent is dispensed at the start of the cycle. Bleach is dispensed during final minutes of wash. Fabric softener is dispensed during the third rinse while the washer is filling.

Whirring or sloshing sound
followed by a pause, repeated
throughout the wash cycle:

• The tub rotates one direction followed by a pause.The tub reverses direction and pauses.This action continues throughout the cycle.

Washer maintains a slightly

reduced spin speed after

achieving a higher spin speed:
• After reaching the maximum spin speed, the machine may reduce spin speed slightly for maximum performance.

The spin speed slows down dramatically when it sounds like an out-of-balance load:

• The tumbler will begin to accelerate to speed, then slows back down to redistribute the load more evenly when an unbalanced load occurs.

Water is added after the washer has been

tumbling for a while:
• The Maytag Neptune® clothes washer uses a true adaptive fill and adds more water during the wash cycle as it is needed.
• Water flows through the dispenser to dilute and add bleach or fabric softener at the appropriate time.This will occur even if bleach and fabric softener are not used.

Clicking/draining sounds when washer is started:
• Before the washer starts to fill, it will make a series of clicking noises to check the door lock and do a quick drain.

Washer beeps after cycle has started:
• This is audio confirmation the door has locked successfully.


Rhythmic air rushing during spin:

• Due to tub movement during the spin cycle, air is transferred in and out of the tub to provide optimum performance.

Rapid snapping and/or popping sound from the rear of the washer during spin.

• Water is being extracted through the drain holes in the spinner and is hitting the outer tub before draining out of the machine.
