For Both Top-Load and Front-Load Maytag Washers:

• Motor speed error: This means the control board detects the motor isn't spinning at the expected speed during the wash or spin cycle. This could be due to:
  • Faulty motor: In rare cases, the motor itself might be malfunctioning.
  • Faulty motor control board: The board responsible for regulating the motor speed could be faulty.
  • Wiring issues: Loose or damaged wires connecting the motor and control board might be causing the issue.
  • Optical sensor issue: Some models use an optical sensor to track the motor speed, and a malfunction in this sensor could trigger the error.

Additional Meanings for Specific Types:

• Top-Load Maytag Washers: In older models, d11 might point to a door circuit failure where the control board doesn't receive a signal that the door is closed.
