How to Troubleshoot a PAV1000

Problems with your Maytag PAV1000 can be remedied.

Maytag, an American appliances manufacturer, created the PAV1000 model as a two-speed, super capacity washer machine. If the performance fails in a unit such as the PAV1000 model, then the user manual gives you a few areas to troubleshoot before calling customer service.

Instructions

1. Remove some items from the washer if you experience excess vibration from the machine. This is often due to overfilling of the machine. Check that the machine is on an even surface to prevent tilting and further shaking.

2. Close the lid if you find that the machine will not spin normally. Check that the electrical cord of your PAV1000 is plugged in correctly and that a fuse hasn't blown. You also want to check that circuit breaker hasn't tripped. If the latter is the problem, then reset the breaker.

3. Pull the machine away from the wall and examine the hose connections. The machine's hose should be tight at the faucet and correctly inserted into the drain facility.

4. Inspect the drain hose to ascertain whether it is kinked or knotted if your machine will not drain. This may also be caused by a clog in the drain outlet.

5. Clean rubberized seals around the door of your washer with a damp, clean cloth. This is where the most grime and dirt is most likely to build up, leading to unpleasant odors in your clothes.
