My Maytag Model MAV6457AWW has been giving me problems for a couple months now.When i get it filled up i have to keep slamming the lid down to get it to start.Also when it gets to the rinse cycle sometimes it stops and i have to slam the lid to get it going again.I have also been having trouble with it spinning out the clothes good enough.And the washer has been starting to spin out before it gets to that cycle on the dial and then shuts off before being spun out all the way.Please Help! Thanks! =)
Well, start by changing out your lid switch to fix the stop spinning problem. It comes in several parts, put your model number in the Find Parts section of this site to find them.
See if that clears up your other problem.
Here is a sevice manual that will help you change it out. If you are skeptical before you spend the money use the techniques in the manual to check it out.
