Tips

  • Load machine with clothes front to back – bottom to top until about 5″ of space remain above your hand.
  • ⅓ cup of soap MAX for 15 pounds washers; if loaded less than full, add less. (Most clients use too much soap for this environment efficient machines).
  • ½ cup of soap MAX for 25 pounds washers; if loaded less than full, add less.
  • 1 cup of soap MAX for 35 pounds to 45 pounds washers; less–if loaded less than full.
  • Check the washer before loading your clothes to make sure is empty, has no spilled soap or laundry.
  • Select wash cycle BEFORE adding coins.
  • Ensure all items are far enough into machine to keep from getting pinched in door when it’s closed.
  • Make sure “door locked” light comes on before you walk away from our Maytag 1.5 load machines.
  • Make sure all laundry is clear of the glass door gasket area before closing the door.   This keeps a tight seal and prevents water in the machine from leaking out.

Each Maytag cycle has a short pre-wash, a main wash, 3 full rinses, high speed spin out and a slow tumble. The pre-wash just helps dissolve the soap for the main wash, no need to add more soap – it’s still in the washer.

Dryers

Dryers can be loaded back to front, bottom to top until about 1/2 way up the dryer door. Your wet things need room to tumble and as they dry they will expand and fill your dryer. Also, this amount of clothes will allow your items to remain fairly wrinkle-free. If you overload the dryers they will take longer to dry and in extreme cases, will overheat the motors and the dryer will shut off.

If you forget your clothes, please contact us as soon as possible so we can put them aside for you. We store clothes for up to 3 months.

Troubleshooting

  • Re-select Cycle Flashing: Ensure door is closed and re-select the cycle. Machine will complete the wash.
  • Maytag: It is possible the machine is broken but more likely you had an “out of balance” situation–when the machine tried to high speed spin it started shaking violently. When this happens the machine will slow down and seem stuck at 5 minutes as it tries to re-balance the load. If it cannot, after about 10 minutes the machine cycle will end and you will have wet clothes.  To prevent this, keep like weighted items in the same machine i.e. no heavy blanket in with light T-shirts. If you have items like that it’s best to put them in the large front loaders. They are bolted to the floor and never go out of balance.
  • Wascomat 40 lb machine stopped and “10E” light came on can be because the drain is clogged or there is too much soap. If the front of the machine glass looks like a white out, that’s too much soap. Don’t worry: press start twice and the machine will continue its cycle. If it still has too much soap you may have to wait a few minutes for the suds to dissipate. E03 the door is not properly lock, fix and press start again.
  • Dryer Error code E15 press start again after moving the clothes around in the drum.
  • Bed Sheets dry better in the bigger Dryers – Wascomat.
