Ken D Hayti , MO August 17, 2014 Appliance: Maytag Washer MVWC6ESWW1 Maytag Washer Mvwc6esww1: Def water temp switch. How to replace Temperature Switch. I replaced the water temp/water level switch/auto load sensing switch. Your on sight tech correctly diagnosed the problem with my Maytag washer. The def switch was causing agitation when it should only be filling with water. An easy fix and a pleasant experience. 1 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 1-2 hours
