Grrrrr.... My washing machine started blowing codes and not wanting to finish washing. Not good when there's a load of wash waiting to go in & the kiddo has a gut bug. Maytag's site said that the F-21 error may be caused by a clogged or kinked drain hose. Well, that was not the case.
So I called my local appliance shop. I love these guys - rather than drag me along waiting for a week, they say "let me double check, but your model probably has a clean-out that is right behind the front panel. Put some towels down before you open it." All it took was removing three screws with a quarter-inch socket & opening the valve that just screamed "clean-out trap" to find the build-up of lint, hair, safety pins, and other gunk that had been caught in the trap. Nice change from my Neptune that took the same repair guy an hour to clean out the two pumps when I washed a denim rag rug that *really* shed.
Considering the diaper chunks, cat hair, my long hair, and "I thought I cleaned out my pockets" - this is probably going to be an annual cleaning. Seriously - the hardest part was how stiff the clean-out was to turn.
