d2
The d2 error code on Maytag washers can have different meanings depending on the specific model and type of washer you have.
For Top-Load Maytag Washers:
- d2 typically indicates a problem with the lower dryer thermistor circuit on the control board.
- This means the control board isn't receiving the correct temperature signal from the lower dryer thermistor, preventing the dryer from heating properly.
- Some models might use d2 for a door sense error.
- This means the control board isn't receiving a signal that the door is closed, preventing the dryer from starting the cycle.
For Front-Load Maytag Washers:
- d2 might indicate a water level detection error on the control board. Similar to top-load models, this means the control board isn't receiving the correct signal about the water level in the drum, preventing the washer from starting or continuing the cycle.
Troubleshooting Steps:
- Identify your Maytag model:
- Knowing the exact model number and year of manufacture is crucial for pinpointing the specific meaning of the d2 code for your washer.
- Consult the user manual:
- Your Maytag user manual will have specific troubleshooting steps for the d2 code based on your specific model. Refer to it for detailed instructions.
- Basic troubleshooting:
- Check the door: Ensure the door is completely closed and latched.
- Power cycle the washer: Turn off the washer at the power outlet or circuit breaker, wait for a minute, and then turn it back on.
- Check for obstructions: Look for any debris or clothing stuck around the door opening or in the drain filter.
- Contact Maytag Support:
- If the above steps don't resolve the issue, contact Maytag customer support for further assistance. They can provide a more accurate diagnosis and recommend repair options based on your specific model and error code.
Additional things to remember:
- Do not attempt to repair internal components like the control board or thermistor yourself, as this can be risky and void your warranty.
