In this video we will show you how to calibrate your Whirlpool or Maytag top load washer, we will also show you how to tell if you have any error codes, and what they mean.
This was huge! I couldn’t re calibrate to save my life. Until he showed how to get out of diagnostic mode. Then after holding the start button I was able to run the recalibrate process. Thanks!
thank you so much i had no lights to see codes but was still able to turn dial for diagnostic and then lights came up ! i thought it all began with over size load and spin cycle along with blowing a fuse for lights. seems to be working now thanks again!!!!!
The calibration cleared a grinding sound that was emitting from our MAYTAG Washer model: MVWC465HW. Just a reminder to end the Diagnostics Mode after calibration to return to normal operation (long press on the Start/Pause button). Many thanks!
Washing machine wasn't completely filling, just soaked clothes. It's a HE Whirpool. My wife did the calibration without any clothes (first tried it with clothes and didn't work), and now we're running an empty cycle just to make sure it's working.
I have followed the steps to recalibrate I have done this before after I replaced a part on it and it worked but now after I recalibrate it and I try to wash a load of laundry it goes straight to agitating the load instead of putting water first I have recalibrated it 4 times now
P.s I have popped out the center hub,Undone the bolt. But the strainer is not wanting to let loose. Did your strainer come out easy or did you haft to pry it out. It feels like mine is being held in place by something Still? Its a Maytag Centennial MCT Model MVNC555DW0 TYPE 589-01 SERVICE TAG C53640845. What's frustrating is when I go to Maytags websight its not even pulling up there own Model number or service tag.Just says this model is discontinued and cant find much on this unit. There are some videos but not many with this model. It lasted a year and a half...When trying error diag codes.. All my lights blink orange, Under spin Sensing is orange, Rinse Is Orange,Done is not lit. Under Drain and Spin All 4 lights blink orange. I have tried to calibrate the unit as well.
Hi , i have combo Maytag washer and dryer .When i press start botten the solenoid opening water in the second i take my finger away from start botten it's stop working please advise Thanks.
And if the lights are orange instead of green? Replaced actuator, water valves and Gear Clutch..Still sensing light goes on, waits, makes noises, goes off, over & over. Tried different bulk wash, since it quit on Normal. Had to hand rinse clothes, water still standing in it..
I have Maytag MVWX655DW1 washer I ran the diagnostic and found several such as onDrain Spin Wash Done are flashingPower Wash all are flashingClean Wash Sensing is flashing and SpinSoak All FlashingCold Rinse Done are flashingI have some more what could be the problem
Thanks for taking the time to reply. I had to break the wash plate and use the back end of the hammer to get that part out. Then Since the tube wouldn't let loose from the main drive system I was hesitant on breaking something else. I was lucky enough to have a friend come over that had some more knowledge on these things. He put a small 2x4 long wise over the main drive shaft and hit the 2x4 with a sold hit and it finally let loose. So after cleaning the bottom part and hoses etc,it's looking like I have a faulty lid lock switch and possibly a bad control panel as well. The start button works I know,When I out the unit into Diagnostic mode but. The Light On the board are only showing orange. No red, no green. And when I hit start on the machine its not activating the lid lock. And going through all the cycle's in the dig mode. It will only add water in the washing machine. But anyway Like I said Thanks for the reply and your Vids.
Christopher Deslauriers unless it has been removed, the tech booklet should be either in the control panel or on the front of the cabinet on the inside of the cabinet.
Someone who knows. Hi. I am a technician in Australia I have a customer with a Maytag mat20mn (I think) it’s not letting hot water in on hot settings cold only then maybe a few seconds of hot at the end of filling. Not enough to even make the water warm. After a conversation with tech support I replaced the main PCB and recalibrate . After that it filled with cold water only, about 30 second later it pumped out and turned off. Tech support in Australia said they don’t know what’s wrong and cannot help. Any thoughts? I am unable to contact tech support in the U. S. I just get redirected to au site.
can you enter the calibration diagnostics mode if the washer has the sensing light on? Mine will not leave the sensing mode even after unplugging it for a long time.
Where do i find the meaning of the error codes or to read them for my Maytag bravos mtc ? I have no digital display so it the light blinking after i run the diagnostics i get the sensing rinse and done lights blinking
rinse (4) + spin (2) + done (1) = F7 done = E1 so you have F7E1 Supposedly the "shift actuator" I replace the shift actuator after getting this code and even after diagnostics and calibration I still have the same code and it does not spin
Two questions.....1) How do you recalibrate a newer model Maytag MVWX700XL2, after replacing the actuator (It shows the error codes on a digital screen). I can't seem to find instructions to recalibrate a newer Maytag after a repair. 2) I've done everything to remove my Maytag Bravos XL washer pulsator (some call it a washer plate)...it won't budge. It raises up about 1/2 inch and seems to hit something, like it's locked in place. I want to check for coins that may be stuck underneath. I don't know what else to try. I tried turning it from side to side, as if it's washing, but it won't move back & forth either.....not sure if that's possible with the power off. What could be the problem ??
I have the same machine as your.......I cannot find the error code list....the only one I can find is for those with the electronic display......where can I find a list of codes that displays what the error is based on the number of blinks
Where can I find the service manual for this machine? I can't find anywhere to tell me what all the other settings do other than the calibrate function you showed.
And how do I get to that manual inside of the washing machine? I cannot get the lid to come completely off not the lid to you put your clothes in but the whole front part top of the lid to come off so that I can access to get the manual, please I hope you see this message soon I really need to know how to get to the manual so that I don’t have to spend money that I don’t have to fix the washing machine. I am just a mother of four single mom I should add.
OK, but better if there were more info afterward. Mine went into 'sensing' for a long time... I didn't know what "normal' time was for it to do its thing. . 2 minutes? 20 minutes? An hour? 2 weeks? Mine lit up 'sensing' then the drain pump ran for 10 minutes before I finally unplugged the thing.
Our washer keeps getting stuck in diagnostics. It will keep shake violently and not stop. After 5 minutes we have to unplug the washing machine . Any ideas? Thanks
Sir would it be possible to send me the manual with the blinking light codes please? I’ve looked for it everywhere and cannot find it. reysmith1978@gmail.com Need help bad sir.
This changes from models. No name, just the model. Diagnostics are different from year to year and the new matching set you got yesterday, was built 5 years ago. No diagnostics, no flow chart, no schematics and blinking lights? GM had this in 1981 with blink codes. 12=ok, 23=TPS, and so on. Give me the rotary reed switch with a timer motor on it, and maybe I will call for repair in 23 years. It is cheap to put everything onto a $23.58 circuit board that retails from Maytag only at $312 plus shipping. Installation not include except in second service call. Another $114! Congrats Maytag on you move out of the USA into Mexico and printed circuit boards from China! Wonderful business model to increase billable hours for repair shops as customers with extensive backgrounds in electronics can do nothing as the washing machine new installed yesterday was built 5 years ago. Show me the date, enter diagnostics and the blinking code chart. I have a $500 Fluke 87-5 DMM and folks, don't let it move with an unbalanced load, like tennis shoes. You get a "Spin" light blinking and that will cost you a service call! $100-$150 depending on where you live and the tax structure as this is a service. That is taxed by your state & city. Congrats on your purchase. We are pleased even if you are not.
🚨 so you 3 Right 1 left 1right: Puts u on COLD WASH as seen when ALL Lights begin to Flash. 🚩🚩At what point Did you Move your knob down 1 more ?!
