Einleitung
Diese Lösung kann einfach angewendet werden bei Maytag Waschmaschinen, die einen Chrom-Ring um den Einschaltknopf haben, welcher sich nicht mehr löst.
Was du brauchst
-
-
Überprüfe den Typ der Waschmaschine. Der Knopf kann bei unterschiedlichen Modellen anders aussehen. So sieht mein Aufkleber aus.
-
Bei meinem Gerät befindet sich der Aufkleber auf der Innenseite, wenn man die Frontklappe aufmacht.
-
-
-
-
Der Einschaltknopf besteht aus einem grauen Knopf, welcher mit einem Chrom-Ring umfasst ist. Über dem Knopf steht "power - cancel" mit einem Punkt dazwischen.
-
Anscheinend klemmte der Knopf tatsächlich wegen des Chromgehäuses. Dieser drückte zu weit nach unten oder war falsch ausgerichtet. Der Antrieb war also nicht das Problem, wie ich zuerst dachte.
-
-
-
Die einfachste Variante war, einen Schraubenzieher zu nehmen (oder ein anderes dünnes, aber stabiles Werkzeug) und vorsichtig unter den Chrome-Ring zu drücken, damit man den Ring ein wenig hervorheben kann.
-
Zu meiner Überraschung, gab es ein Klick / Pop Geräusch, welches andeutete, dass der Knopf gelöst sei.
-
Nun kann man die Waschmaschine wieder ans Stromnetz anschliessen und den Knopf sorgfältig drücken.
-
Mein Ratschlag ist, künftig den Knopf vorsichtiger zu drücken, um ihn nicht wieder festzuklemmen. Am besten in der Mitte des grauen Knopfes drücken.
I tried this but it ended up pushing button way out of place
Yeah you have to be especially careful and only use slight pressure.
used a dental pick also and it worked, thanks for the guidance.
Great to hear!
Thank you for your advice!! It worked like a charm!!
It worked using a flat flexible blade and a bottle opener
Hello, I have a Maytag 4000 series and the Power/Cancel button seems to not be working all of a sudden. I tried to unplug it and then when I plugged it back in I heard a pop and it worked when I pressed the button. But it seems to work on and off. Does anyone have a clue what it could be? if it's something simple I don't want a tech to come out charge me $118.00 that is a simple fix. Please help I am a widow and need help with this. Thank you in advance. Model # MHWE450WW01 ALSO SERIAL CS00804203 4.5 CU FT. You can also email me at kachia4@aol.com Thank you
Would anyone know where to purchase a replacement button and ring?
This totally did the trick. No repair bill needed. Thank you for your post!
Great! So glad to help.
It worked for me, thank you so much!
So happy to hear that it worked for you!
The power button on our Maytag 3000 has been off center and loose for a while. My wife had a special techique, pushing gently around the 1 o’clock position and that worked. Today, wife my wife out of town, I pushed this button too hard and it no longer worked. I took the top off and removed the control panel to find that the other end of this button is a 1.5 inch long piece of thin plastic that pushes a small red switch inside the control panel. This button is held in place by thin metal and other plastic pieces. Not made well enough to last as long as the working parts of this washer.
I removed the power button (actually it fell out in pieces), put the machine back to together and used a 3 inch piece of plastic irrigation tubing to reach the red activator button inside the machine and it powers on and off much easier than fussing with a dysfunction plastic part. I am not recommending anyone else try this, but seems to work for me so far. Obviously I will only use plastic -non conductor of electricity.

Hello I have a GE front loader and my power went out before it was done it had a minute to go and now it does not want to start back up what do I do and I thought I would unplugged it for a hour thinking it would reset it self but that didn't work
There are some things which can cause this - online they talk about a stuck water valve or a door switch problem. Make sure to completely restart a cycle. There is also a reset process where you unplug the power cord and then hold down the power button for at least 5 seconds after plugging the power cord back in.
Can this be done with a Maytag 4000 series same as the picture from this post. I changed the sensor and cleared all tubes of debris and cleaned the back filter to the tub and took out some plastic, also cleaned out the filter at the bottom connected to the water pump. I’ve done it all and I’m still getting the F32 and F20 code, the F 32 doesn’t stay on anymore but it stops the washing process. I’m thinking memory code has to be reset and I can’t find out how. Help!
Thank you so much, saved me a lot of money and hassle.
I replaced my control board on my Frigidaire washers and I'm getting key stuck message pop up on my screen around two minutes after I turn it on
This is a great tip, but unfortunately, in my case, the housing ring was actually broken and there is absolutely no way to get a replacement part. I have called everywhere. So for the want of a 10c piece of plastic I need to replace a perfectly good Maytag Washing machine. Very sad. So much for sustainable and reusable!
