    Maytag A806 Washer Will Not Drain Completely

    NOT the timer... Update... This issue started when I had the main sewer line cleaned. Lots of tree roots.

    Maytag A806 Washer Will Not Drain Completely

    The tub is empty when the spraying begins. I am wondering if the stand pipe that the discharge hose empties into might have an issue... but you would think that if it had a clog it would back up into the house? When I just did the last full cycle test, that went perfectly, I just had the...

    Maytag A806 Washer Will Not Drain Completely

    My 1977 Maytag A806 washer only partially drains on the normal cycle. If I use the other permanent press cycle it does drain completely. I replaced the pump about a year ago so I am thinking it could be the timer? I am new here and have been amazed at the caring and knowledge this whole...
