Maytag Epic Z Washer Manual

Maytag laundry appliances are tough enough to tackle whatever you throw in them. Plus, select laundry machines are ENERGY STAR® certified to help you save money, while still giving you the same level of performance you’ve come to trust. Shop top and front load washers and dryers to find the machines you need to power through tough loads. This Maytag Job Aid, “Epic z™ Front-Loading Automatic Washer” (Part No. 8178686), provides the In-Home Service Professional with information on the installation, operation, and service of the Epic z™ Front-Loading Automatic Washer. For specific information on the model being ser.

Maytag makes several models in the Epic series and operating instructions vary. For model specific troubleshooting instructions defer to the user manual that came with your machine or contact Maytag support.

Each model in the Maytag's Epic automatic clothes washer series has a computerized processing unit that displays error codes on a digital screen when something goes wrong with the washer. These codes help Maytag service technicians diagnose the unit. If you know the codes, you can troubleshoot the problem yourself, rather than request a service call, possibly fixing the issue yourself and saving you some money in the process.
