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.

On some of the Whirly/Maytag, the selection of a Rinse & Spin has only slightly higher water level than occurs during any cycle with rinse.

On some models a higher final rinse (slight) is on Whites, Heavy Duty, Delicate etc.

They are supposed to achieve an even higher rinse level when you Rinse & Spin, and select 2 rinses (Extra Rinse)...the last rinse will be almost the water level of the delicate wash, or Hand Wash.

Also, longer.

Hope this Helps,

Well, no doubt there has been some changes.

3 spin speeds, hum...

Mine has Five

No spin, (not counting that one), Low, Medium, High, and Extra High, plus max-extract, plus a manual between Low and Medium.

The hidden 5th is one of the easter eggs on mine.

It is also the standard spin, (with any cycle), that ramps up for 45 seconds, then stops, de-wrinkles, and will complete final spin with the  selected spin speed.

Max-extract is a separate function button that as stated above will raise the last 20 seconds or so to around 1100 rpm on the higher setting, and proportionally higher on the High & Medium.

The low-spin that I use between all washes and rinses except the last, is about the speed or maybe slightly higher tham the original Neptune spin after wash/rinse (not final).

Perfect to allow some water removal while trickling in cold water during the spin to rinse the tube, drain, pump, etc.

For johnb300M & Mark WPDuet, If you want to know how to raise the water level, graduated for all cycles, email me...

I have thought about this quite a bit, I don't think I want to post to the whole world about this, but would like to share it between members here.

You can then tell your friends/buddies, members etc.

Hope this Helps,
