Washer tub will not fill automatically, but everything else seems to work if I fill it manually. When it reaches water level selected it will agitate, pump and spin. Timer advances but nothing happens when it is time to fill. Is there a fuse to check or do I go straight to the water intake solenoids? It is a bear to get this thing out (noo access to back side), so I am hoping this is something I can do from the front. Any chance of that?
Hoping in Virginia,
David
David,
There is a fuse which is a part of the lid switch assembly.
The model number you posted is incomplete.

Gene,
Sorry about that. Model # ends in ACE. Would that fuse affect only the fill operation or does the fact that everything else is working suggest that the fuse is all right? Replacing a fuse sounds much better than replacing the intake solenoids.

David,
The fuse is a part of the lid switch assembly and you have to replace the whole thing if it’s open. You can try to replace just the fuse but most likely it will short out again.
This fuse controls the water valve only and would not let the washer to work if something is wrong with the lid switch . Whoever design it did not think that you will fill it manually.

I see. Am I correct that this switch is under the washer top and that to get to it I need to remove the washer from the base/frame that holds the dryer in place? Since I cannot get behing the unit this also raises the question of whether I need to remove in incoming water hoses to do this.
Your experience is a great help!! Thanks agaiin.

I don’t think you have to pull the washer out. Just remove the access panel under the dryer and open the lid.
Here are the breakdown diagrams and Front replacement parts for MAYTAG LSE7804ACE STACKED LAUNDRY- ELE | AppliancePartsPros.com

I’ll get into it with the diagrams and will let you know result after the part arrives.
Thanks a buch!

I just had the same problem with my Maytag stackable model LSG7806AAE, had my repairman come by and it was a simple inline 1amp fuse halfway down on the left behind the lower washer panel (not the panel between washer and dryer, see photo.) I did not have to replace the switch assembly. A very easy fix.
remove two screws from bottom panel. remove lower panel. fuse is fastened by clips (much like the cylindrical glass fuses in your car). Clip a new fuse in. we used a 2amp 250V instead of the previous 1amp 250V and VOILA! washer works fine
Not sure if your model has the same fuse, but take a look

Thank you mrjohno!! That was exactly what I needed. Luckily I had a 1 amp fuse to match in the shop so I was back in operation in no time. The other part recommended would have cost over $50 plus shipping, so this was a GREAT help to me and I really appreciate your having taken the time to post this tip.
All best wishes to you in the new year!

Several days ago, I replaced the intake valves. Still, no water. I followed your previous counsel given to a client by replacing a fuse in the ront lower left of washer. It worked great…for one load. Next morning, no water again. Is this narrowing down to a lid switch failure? How to I access that part? Please help.
The lid switch fixes the problem. first take off the front cover of the washer then you can see all the things inside. on the left side on the back you can see a connector to the lid switch. disconnect it. then pull the washer back on top you can see some screws. take those off and the lid switch will fall. the tricky part is putting your hands behind the washer barrel and removing the cable to the lid switch. its pretty simple but it does take some patience. good luck.
I should mention also that while you wait for the switch to arrive you can change the fuse and before you open the lid you should turn the washer off(by pulling the switch) and then open. then put your clothes in turn it on and wash. but remember every time you open the lid turn it off first so the fuse wont blow. when you get the lid switch this wont matter. just a tip
Mr. mrjohno, you are the men! Anyone reading this before you buy any valve or lid switch try what mrjohno suggested … change the fuse on the left edge of the front side of the machine. It totally worked for me. Thanks again

My Maytag stackable washer/dryer is having the same issue. The dryer works but the washer won’t fill. I’ve seen people post about filling it manually but I’m afraid to try it because if it doesn’t work after filling it manually, how do I get the water out? I’m not sure if it’s the lid switch assembly or the fuse in the front panel that mrjohno is talking about. Either way I’m not sure how to fix it even if I had the right part. Are there any YouTube videos that might be helpful? Model# LSE7806ACE
Replacing the fuse fixed my Maytag stackable. Glad I found this thread!
Note I already replaced the water inlet and hoses - which was fine since the hoses needed replacing anyway and cost more than the water valve.
