Int on a supported Maytag washer means the cycle was paused or canceled. Maytag explains that the washer can take 20 to 30 minutes to stop spinning and drain, with Int displayed during that interval.
Wait Before Treating It as a Fault
The door cannot unlock safely while the drum is moving quickly or water remains at an unsafe level. The drain pump may continue running after cancellation. Keep the drain hose in place and allow the controlled stop to finish.
Clear the Code as the Model Directs
Maytag’s general front-load guidance uses Pause or Cancel twice followed by Power once. Controls vary, so the model manual takes priority. If Int remains after the washer has stopped and emptied, a five-minute power disconnect may restart the control.
That procedure addresses the displayed cancellation state. It does not fix a washer that cancels itself, cannot drain, or repeatedly stops during normal use.
Record What Happened
- Was Pause or Cancel pressed?
- Did the pump remove water?
- Did the drum stop within the documented interval?
- Did another code appear before Int?
These details distinguish an expected response from a drain or control fault.
When to Request Service
Contact Maytag if Int appears without user input, stays beyond the stop-and-drain routine, or returns on the next normal cycle. Do not force the door open. If water is leaking or an electrical smell is present, disconnect power only when the area is dry and safe.
Note the cycle name and remaining time shown before Int. That sequence helps distinguish an intentional cancellation from a washer that stopped unexpectedly.
