Elias for Model Number mvwc500vw0 I have a maytag centenial washer not working correctly. Here is what is going on. First: It will only fill up when the temperature knob is on warm or hot. If it is on cold or cool only a little water runs out. Second: If I run a cycle on warm or hot it fills up and all seems to run fine until it gets to the rinse, and then it just stops. So I'm thinking the first problem may be the temperature sensor, but have no idea on the second issue? Is that the water level switch?
Answer Hello Elias. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the water valve WP3979346 is bad and will need to be replaced in the unit. It sounds like the cold water valve is bad. You can test for power going to the valve. If there is power and no water, replace the water valve. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
