For older Maytag top-load washing machines:

The 32 error code signifies more than 6 unbalance retries during the final spin. This means the washer detected uneven weight distribution in the drum multiple times throughout the spin cycle and was unable to resolve the issue 

Possible causes:

• Unevenly distributed load: Too many heavy items on one side of the drum can throw off the balance.
• Overloaded washer: Exceeding the recommended weight capacity can strain the motor and lead to imbalance.
• Worn-out suspension system: Over time, springs or shocks in the suspension system can wear out, compromising their ability to handle unbalanced loads.
• Faulty sensor: In rare cases, a malfunctioning sensor might incorrectly detect an imbalance even when the load is distributed evenly.

Troubleshooting steps:

1. Ensure the load is evenly distributed: Redistribute clothes in the drum, avoiding overloading.
2. Restart the washer: Sometimes, a power cycle can resolve temporary glitches.
3. Check for obstructions: Ensure no objects are stuck around the tub or basket that might affect balance.
4. Consult your user manual: It might have specific troubleshooting steps for the 32 error code for your model.

Advanced troubleshooting (not recommended for everyone):

• Checking the suspension system (not recommended): This requires accessing internal components and technical knowledge. Seek professional help if unsure.
• Calibrating the washer (not recommended): Some models have a calibration function. Refer to your manual for specific instructions and warnings before attempting this.

For newer Maytag front-load washing machines:

The 32 error code might indicate a pressure switch issue. The pressure switch measures water levels in the tub, and a malfunction might signal overflow even when the tub isn't fully drained.

Possible causes:

• Faulty pressure switch: The switch itself might be malfunctioning.
• Clogged drain filter: Debris buildup in the filter can prevent proper drainage, leading to incorrect pressure readings.
• Clogged drain hose: Kinks or blockages in the hose can restrict water flow and affect pressure levels.

Troubleshooting steps:

1. Clean the drain filter: Consult your user manual for specific instructions on locating and cleaning the drain filter.
2. Check the drain hose: Inspect for kinks, damage, or debris inside. Disconnect and clean it if necessary.
3. Power cycle the washer: Turn it off at the outlet or circuit breaker, wait a minute, and then turn it back on.
4. Manually drain the water: Some models have a manual drain option or access hose to remove standing water if needed. Refer to your manual for guidance.

Advanced troubleshooting (not recommended for everyone):

• Testing the pressure switch (not recommended): This requires technical expertise and specific tools. Seek professional help from a qualified technician.

General advice:

• Always prioritize safety and avoid internal repairs if you're uncomfortable or lack technical knowledge.
• Consult your user manual for specific troubleshooting instructions tailored to your Maytag model and year of manufacture.
• When seeking professional help, provide detailed information about your washer model, year, error code, symptoms (e.g., amount of water remaining, noises), and any troubleshooting steps already taken.
• Remember, consulting the user manual or seeking professional help is crucial for tailored guidance, especially for advanced troubleshooting steps.
