Possible Meanings of d13 Error Code:

• Blocked coin 2 or coin drop control circuit failure: 
  • This is the most common interpretation for front-load Maytag dryers. It suggests an issue with either a blocked coin slot or a malfunctioning circuit related to coin detection. However, this might not apply to washing machines.
• Door sense error (for some older top-load models): 
  • In some older top-load washers, d13 might indicate a problem with the door lock mechanism, where the control board doesn't recognize the door as closed, preventing the cycle from starting.
• Motor sense error: 
  • Similar to other motor-related codes, d13 could signify a problem with the control board not receiving proper signals about the motor's status or speed, hindering its function during the wash or spin cycle.
• Less likely possibilities: 
  • Depending on the specific model, d13 could also indicate issues with drain problems, water level detection, or even communication errors between the control board and other components.

Troubleshooting the d13 error code in Maytag Washer

1. Identify your Maytag model: 
   • Knowing the exact model number and year of manufacture is crucial. This information helps determine the most accurate meaning of the d13 code for your specific washer and find tailored troubleshooting steps.

Advanced troubleshooting (proceed with caution):

Proceed with caution and only if you are comfortable and knowledgeable about basic appliance repair. Improper actions can lead to further damage or safety hazards.

• Inspect drain hose and filter: For drain issues, check the drain hose for kinks or blockages and clean the drain filter according to your user manual.
• Check water level sensor (if applicable): If your model has a water level sensor, consult your user manual for its location and instructions on inspecting for any debris or obstructions.

Remember:

• It's crucial to prioritize safety and avoid attempting repairs involving internal components like the motor or control board if you're not comfortable or knowledgeable.
