Int
The "Int" error code on a Maytag washing machine means that the cycle was paused or cancelled. This is not necessarily an error condition, but rather an informative message indicating the state of the wash cycle.
What it means:
- The washing machine stopped mid-cycle due to a pause or cancellation.
- This could have been done intentionally by the user or might have occurred automatically due to certain conditions.
- The "Int" code appears during the drain or spin cycles after the machine has stopped washing.
Possible reasons for the "Int" code:
- User Pause: You might have pressed the pause button to temporarily stop the cycle.
- Automatic Pause: The washer may have paused automatically due to:
- Door opening: Opening the door during the cycle triggers a pause.
- Power outage: A temporary power interruption can cause the cycle to pause.
- Unbalanced load: The washer might pause if the load is unbalanced and needs redistribution.
- Cycle cancellation: You might have manually cancelled the cycle altogether.
What to do when you see the "Int" code:
- Check the door: If the door is open, close it and press the "Start/Pause" button to resume the cycle.
- Wait for draining: If the washer is draining after a pause, the "Int" code will disappear automatically once the drain cycle finishes. Spinning usually follows draining, and the "Int" code might remain until the entire cycle is complete.
- Resume or cancel the cycle: Decide if you want to continue the cycle from where it paused or cancel it completely. Press the "Start/Pause" button to resume or press and hold the "Cancel" button (if available) to cancel.
Additional things to remember:
- The "Int" code is not an error and shouldn't cause any further issues.
- If the "Int" code appears and the washer doesn't seem to respond, try unplugging it for a minute and then plugging it back in.
- If you're unsure about why the cycle paused or how to proceed, consult your Maytag washing machine's user manual for specific instructions on your model.
I hope this comprehensive explanation helps you understand the "Int" code on your Maytag washing machine!
