Default Suds saver doesn't work
Brand: Maytag
Model Number: A512S
Age: More than 10 years

Hi,

My mom regularly uses the suds saver feature on this trusty old washer.

Within the last week the suds saver stopped working.

Instead of "saving" the "used" water to the external laundry tub like it should, it drains the water.

Any ideas of what the problem could be?

Thanks for your time.

Kendall

Hi,

I would check the suds saver valve first.

Thanks for your input, ApplianceJunk.

How would I go about checking the valve?

Could I check it visually, or check it for free movement, perhaps?

(I'm rather a novice... obviously )

Thanks.

Just a heads up...

A new electric solenoid, for the suds saver valve, fixed the suds saver function.
I ordered the solenoid from PartSelect, of course.

Thanks!
