What Colon Flashing Means
This one is documented as normal behaviour rather than a fault. Maytag states that the colon between the digits in the display will flash when the time is set, and that this is normal. It is included here because it is easy to mistake for a warning.
Common Causes of Colon Flashing
- Normal display behaviour when the clock time is set
🔧 One Safe Check You Can Try
Nothing needs doing. A colon flashing between the digits of a set time is the display working as designed. If instead the whole time is flashing, or the display shows 0:00 flashing, that is the power failure indication rather than this, and the clock simply needs setting.
⚠ Why You Shouldn't Go Further Than That
- None - this is not a fault.
Opening a panel to inspect or repair something yourself doesn't automatically cancel your manufacturer's warranty — but it can risk accidental damage, and some manufacturers do have specific service conditions. Check your product's warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.
