How to Place a Lid on a Maytag Washing Machine
Introduction
Maytag washing machines are easily serviceable. If your Maytag washing machine has a broken or damaged lid or lid hinge, you can fix the problem yourself. You will have to remove the faulty lid before you can replace the broken lid. Once you complete your repair, you can begin to use your washing machine again. Every machine is different so check your owner’s manual to find out information about your own specific model.
Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Things You'll Need:
- Screwdriver
- Large blade putty knife
- New lid
Instructions
Step 1
Pull the Maytag washer plug from its outlet. If your Maytag washer is leaning against a wall, move it off the wall. This will allow you easier access to turn the machine’s control console and its top panel into their repair positions.
Step 2
Remove the screws that attach the control console to the Maytag washer’s top panel. Use a screwdriver to remove the screws. Next, turn the control console into its service position.
Step 3
Wedge a large blade putty knife into the space between the front and top panel. There are retaining clips two inches from each corner. Release each clip by pressing on the clip and lifting the top panel up at the same time.
Step 4
Rotate the top panel into its service position. The panel will now be resting on its hinges. Find the hinge screws under the top panel. Remove the screws on both sides with a screwdriver. Remove the old lid from the top panel of the washer.
Step 5
Replace the old lid with a new lid. Screw back in the hinge screws with a screwdriver. Rotate the top panel out of its service position.
Step 6
Press the retaining clips back into place. Remove the large blade putty knife from between the top and front panel. Return the control console to its non-service position. Reattach the control console to the washer’s top panel by returning its screws. Plug the Maytag washer back in and push it back against the wall.
