I always leave the door cracked open so air can circulate in there and dry it up till there is no mold I've never had a problem I've had this washer 17 years

Do you have a motor for a replacement on a Maytag Neptune front load washer?

I have a Maytag front loader MAH6700AWW. I just pulled the pump lastnight because it had a quarter stuck in it and was making a terrible grinding noise. I was shocked to discover that there is absolutely no filter trap on this machine. If anything gets past the rubber boot, and coins can and do... you need to wish for luck in that you do not wipe out your pump. I was shocked that this machine had not filter trap between the pump impeller and the tub drain. All newer machines have these. The LG and most have a trap door on the front you open to access the trap. Some of the earlier front loaders required that the bottom front panel be removed. No such animal on this Maytag. Probably yours as well.

run an all hot water cycle using hilex bleach should kill the smell and mold

Towel mildew odor is transferred from the washer to towels and clothes. The washer must be cleaned first. After cleaning the washer and towels washing habits must change to stop mold smell from returning.

Washing machine mold / mildew is caused by:
#1 cause is overuse of detergents. Detergent companies are notorious for instructing to use too much detergent. Especially with soft water or when using liquid detergent no more than 1 tbsp of any detergent should be used.
#2 most common cause is using fabric softener because it's dispensed in the rinse cycle and will coat the inside of the outer tub with residue that is a food source for mold to grow.
#3 using only cold water for washing is fine but makes preventative maintenance very important. A weekly hot soak will dissolve odor-causing residue from inside your washer.
#4 not using the washer. If the clothes washer isn't used very often maintenance is especially important. If leaving for a vacation it's a good idea to clean your washer. Do a search to "remove washer odor" to read just how big the problem is. There are all natural washer cleaners that will also remove mildew odor from towels and clothing after the washer has been cleaned.

Question edited for clarity. When the power came back on, or when it went out, there was probably a brown out or voltage surge. You need a service visit. You can try and claim against the utility company for not regulating their power supply to you. Are you certain you have power at the outlets? It is odd that both would succumb to it, unless you were hit by lightning?

Question moved from Cars and Trucks. You normally start at the back of the machine. See if the second video helps. https://www.google.com/search?q=maytag+neptune+clothes+washer+replace+element ..

The F30 error code indicates an issue/error with the Dispenser System. It occurs when the dispenser motor cannot be driven to its proper position.

First things first... please follow this link to see if your machine is part of Maytag's recall... http://www.washerrecall.com/ or this site for details on the recall... http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtm...

Damaged or defective door latch

Sorry, I cannot solve this. I just wanted to post a couple of useful tips for anyone else out there who happens to be diagnosing their MAH7500AWW.

1. You can put the washing machine into service mode by pressing the <back> and <help> buttons for 5 seconds and then releasing.
2. There is a large folded troubleshooting schematic located under the top console. You have to remove a few screws and lift it up to pull it out.

you will need to run it through its cycles to get it to drain.

F28 is a misc error,
most of the time it is because the washer is NOT LEVEL.
1. Unplug waher,
2. Relevel washer. (make sure all legs are equally distributing weight, so as to ensure no shaking). See owner's manual.
3. Plug in, and use.
Hope this helps.

When door locks like that next time. If you remove the top of the machine. Reach down inside on left side. There is a small wire cable that you pull up on. Will manually unlock the door. Then plug power cord in to wall. Power it on let it go through reset cycle and it will work properly again. However if you can't reach the latch through the top. Tilt washer forward and reach up from the bottom. If you get an F1 code it's low water pressure.

Check if the "locked"or "door locked" light comes on. If it does not, you need to replace the wax motor in the door lock assembly and the machine control board, which is inside the control panel. The control board is expensive, so instead of buying the whole control board, if you're good in electronic repair and soldering, try checking ebay for the control board repair kit. Search for "MAYTAG NEPTUNE WASHER R11 Q6 REPAIR KIT". It has all instructions how to do the repair. Good luck!

I assume the model starts with a M, not a W? Anyway, you did not indicate if the washer does not do any draining ... or it just leaves a bit of water in the chamber? No draining issue (no pumping sound): Your washer could have a faulty drain pump and motor assembly, loose wire connection in the drain pump circuit or it could have a faulty machine control board. Some draining issue: It did not look like your washer model has a built in pump suction filter/strainer that is cleanable ... but there could be some obstruction in the pump suction or in the hoses after the pump. Straighten drain hoses and eliminate kinked hoses. Watch video if you want to inspect the pump and hoses

Sounds like control board is defective

Try unplugging it for a minute and plug back in, that should reset it.

There may be a problem with the Appliance Control Board, or the associated wiring. Power unit down by turning off the circuit breaker(s) for one (1) minute. Power unit up by turning on the circuit breaker(s). Monitor the oven for one (1) minute to ensure the error code does not display again.
