However, the majority of washing machines don’t need their rear legs to be manually adjusted. These “self-adjusting” legs can be adjusted by tilting the whole machine towards its legs in the front. Allow the rear legs to be between 3-4 inches off the floor. Then set the machine back to its original place. The legs should thus automatically adjust, but if they don’t you can still put them in place. Tilt the unit forward before hitting the rear legs to loosen them. Another person may make the job easier. More information about it in this article tips here…

Washer Lint disposal

During the wash cycle, washing machines collect lint. They then transport it down the drain during the next cycle.

However, Maytag machines need to be treated differently. As most Maytags store lint in the center of the agitator, you should clean the tube every so often. Slide out, clean, and put the lint filter back if it is near the tube’s top.
