May as well add my washer to the fucking list. They should do a total recall on this because whoever had that bright idea to make it stupid and hate to admit but we are just as stupid for buying it. Should have kept my ol faithful kenmore from decades ago😒

My broke too and I'm done buying new door/hinges so I just ghetto fixed mine. Thought I would share in case anyone is interested in doing the same. I don't have pictures but hopefully this all makes sense. On the door itself - I cut off the part that sticks out and catches the lock when its shut (going to refer this as the MALE end) The MALE end has a magnet in it that is inside it and is used as a sensor to know if the door is closed or not. I then cleaned the part of the washing machine where the latch goes into - going to refer this to the FEMALE end. Make sure the FEMALE end is really clean and then take some hot glue and insert some on the FEMALE and MALE end. Insert the MALE end into the FEMALE end and let the glue set. Once the glue is set you can release and test it out. Now the latch will think the door is closed because the magnet is there tricking it. Now you can start the washing machine door closed or open - and it won't throw an error anymore cause it always thinks the door is closed. Because what was happening was the hinge would break and as the washing machine was running the door would slowly start to open causing the magnet to move away from the sensor and causing the error. Now if the door moves - it still thinks the door is fully closed and continues on. I did this because figured if it didn't work - then I wasted a door that was already broken anyways. Hope it works for you!

Thanks to everyone else that have shared their accounts.

A year ago our lid broke at the left hinge and because we had a warranty, got it replaced, no questions asked. The repair tech even agreed with me that it is a bad design and cheaply made. Well it broke again a couple weeks ago, same spot, and this time the repair tech said they’re not going to fix it because it’s our fault and we are negligent. Unbelievable, what corrupt a-holes. This is just the beginning. We’ll be fighting back and I’ll follow up here with details as they become available. Thanks again.

Mine lid is cracked on the inside by the hinge and the other side is starting to crack. My washer is 19 months. I contacted Maytag with no response yet. Has anyone had any resolution with them? I’m not paying hundreds of dollars to replace that lid and have someone fix it when it’s only 19 months old and I use it once a week for two loads. Thanks

having the same problem!! how is it not a recall ?? @maytag
