I have a MAYTAG PERFOMA and inadvertently put in a giant load of clothing, but had the machine set on MINI LOAD. Then I left the house.

I came back to a dead machine.

I verified that the outlet has power and unplugged the machine and plugged it back in. Tried changing all settings on the controls, but the machine is still totally dead.

I hope I did not burn out the motor. Is there an internal reset someplace?

help!?! and thanks

We need a model number to say very much, but it is not likely your problem was caused by too large a load with the setting on mini. If no water will enter the machine then it is likely a problem with the timer developed.

Also take off the front panel and examine the motor, transmission and the pump.

It must of tripped something like an overload switch .. because an hour later everything started working ok.

maybe it was just overheated????

thank you

The motor has a thermal protection device built in, so that may have tripped. It resets itself.

Glad you got it going again.
