Maytag Washer Error Code nt

The nt code on a Maytag washer means the wash cycle was interrupted, either because it was paused or cancelled by the user. It is a status notification, not a fault or error tied to a broken component. The washer may take 20 to 30 minutes to fully stop spinning and drain before it is ready for input. Once that wind-down is complete, press POWER/CANCEL once to clear the code and again to restart the washer.

Yes, the nt code is not an indication of a hazardous condition. It simply means the cycle was stopped and the washer is in the process of winding down. The door lock may remain engaged during the 20 to 30 minute drain and spin-down sequence as a standard safety measure. You can safely leave the washer unattended during this time.

In most cases, the nt code requires no repair and no parts, since it simply reflects a paused or cancelled cycle. If the code returns repeatedly without any user input, the user interface board or main control board may be at fault, and replacement parts for those components typically range from $75 to $300 or more depending on the model. Adding a service technician's labor would increase the total cost of diagnosis and repair.

Allow the washer to complete its shutdown sequence, which can take up to 30 minutes as it finishes draining and decelerating. Once the machine has stopped, press POWER/CANCEL once to clear the nt code from the display, then press POWER/CANCEL a second time to restart the washer and select a new cycle. No tools or parts are required in most cases.

Yes, pressing POWER/CANCEL once will clear the nt code from the display. Pressing POWER/CANCEL a second time restarts the washer so you can begin a new cycle. Make sure the washer has fully completed its wind-down and draining process before pressing the button, otherwise the code may persist temporarily.
