MAH6500AW
Maytag Neptune MAH6500AW Washer Troubleshooting
Most common issues on this model
- Washer that fills slowly or gurgles
- Spin that starts then drops off
- Lock that holds after a power loss
- Suds or water coming back up the drain
- Sharp noise from the pump area
MAH6500AW is a Maytag washer from the Neptune line, with MAH6500AWQ and MAH6500AWW listed as other versions of the number.
Gurgling and water that comes back up usually mean the drain path is the problem, so we check the standpipe, the hose and the pump before looking at the washer itself. A spin that starts then drops off sends us to the load balance, the lock and the drive. After a Houston power flicker, a lock can stay engaged until the control resets, which is worth knowing before you force the door.

Why does my washer gurgle and back up water?
The drain path may be partly blocked, either in the standpipe or the hose, or the pump may be weak. We check the household drain first and then the washer, so you do not pay for a part you do not need.
What should I do when the lock will not release?
Unplug the washer and wait a few minutes; the control may reset. If it still holds, we test the lock and its wiring instead of forcing the door.
Does MAH6500AWQ need different parts than MAH6500AW?
Mostly the same, with possible small differences between versions. The exact number on your label decides, so the part ordered is the one that fits your machine.
