Loud bang to pipes when clothes washer stops filling
wrote:
Hi:
I have a Maytag Neptune clothes washer, MAH4000AWW that slams / hammers
the water supply lines when it completes the fill portion of a cycle.
I am wondering if the water valve (p/n: 22002795) is going bad ? Other
then the noise the machine fills OK. Thanks
Peter
You didn't say whether this is a new condition (previously quiet) or not.
But, when I had the same problem I solved it with a couple of "Mini
Arrestor" devices made specifically for washing machine use, like the
ones part way down this page:
