Maxima 5000 Profile
Hey All,
Of the vintage of my maxima, the only time it would dump a cycle, or throw an error code, was this if the door was open quite a while during the cycle. (Paused)
If you only pause this model, but not open, such as to soak, or just need to stop it...It never quits.
I have left a soaking load, or partial fill, thinking I would be back to add some garments, Forever.
Most of others I have/have worked on lg, sammie, digidaire (Did you Dare), they would dump, set a code, or just go off...depending on model.
Even within a brand, if you paused too long, it seemed to just stop...some would resume where they left off...others set a code, need to cancel, and start over.
However, I know of only one cycle this Maytag will resume, and also, never let you cancel once started: The tub clean cycle.
You couldn't stop it, nor would power failure reset it...It is going to resume, and finish...period.
I kinda would love to know, or your model, and newer than mine, how much water can you add before it cancels, and drains,...thinking its an overflow condition.
This one is half was up the middle of the glass.
It will drain to the gasket area with or without a cycle selected or the power on to the user interface; ie, such as a leaking water valve.
Also, I can't read the display in your link, pic,...how many spin speeds on the control...and do they still have the max-extract button??
The profile of the max-extract, (probably in book) is to raise the final spin speed to the max advertised for only 20 or so seconds.
Whirlpool did extensive research in the 60's, and proclaimed that at a given spin speed, the last few seconds of a spin only slightly enhanced moisture removal by raising the spin speed further.
IE, let's say 800 rpm spin for duration, with only a bump to 900 rpm for seconds, removed just as much moisture as an entire spin @ 900 rpm.
For What it's Worth,
