Dawgdays March 24, 2014 for Model Number Maytag Centennial Machine keeps filling during agitate cycle and overflows, water/temp sensor switch?
1 Answer Hello Dawgdays. If you can stop the water from entering the machine by turning off the timer or unplugging the unit, you will need to look for a bad pressure hose or replace the pressure switch. If the only way to shut off the water is at the shut off for the water hoses, you will need to replace the water valve in the unit. Read More...
Anthony March 14, 2014 for Model Number 11029822801 When I start the machine cycle it automatically begins filling water, agitating, and also drains( like on spin cycle). All at the same time. Anthony for Model Number kenmore 800 topload washer. I was told changing the sensor switch(W10248240) would correct this problem. True??
1 Answer Hello Anthony. The drain is due to siphoning. Otherwise it would spin and not agitate. Yes, you will need to replace the sensor switch in the unit. Read More...

Linda E March 04, 2014 for Model Number MVWC6ESWW1 The washer first wound up not letting water in. Turned Off Hot water, now it will not fill on the rinse cycle, we have to lift the lid to make it fill. I was told it might be the temp. control switch.
1 Answer Linda, Yes it is most likely the water temperature switch WPW10248240 with your description it would be the place to start. This particular switch controls the water temperature, the water level, and the timer delay for certain cycles, all through a printed circuit board inside the switch. all your issues would be associated with the switch. You also want to check the wiring harness/connector that attaches to the electronic control WPW10104800 mounted on the back of the timer. Make sure it is pressed and locked in place on the control connector. Read More...
Mark February 12, 2014 for Model Number WTW58ESVW1 Our washer starts agitating when I start it before it starts to fill. It will start spraying in water if I let it go. Then at the end of the spin it sprays in water before the end. It seems out of sync. Is there anything I can do to test and narrow down the bad part? It's happened before and after awhile it will start working correctly.
1 Answer Hello Mark. Based on the information you provided, you will need to replace the timer WPW10177827 and the temperature switch WPW10248240 to repair the issue with the unit. Read More...
Douglas Knox January 31, 2014 for Model Number mvw5esxwo My washer starts agitating and filling at the same time. I was told that the temperature and water level switch will cause this to happen?
1 Answer Hello Douglas, If your model number is MVWC5ESXW0, the problem can be a bad clutch, brake, temperature switch or the agitation board. If you drop the gearcase, you will be able to tell if the clutch or brake has failed. If they appear to be fine, the problem is most likely in the pressure switch WPW10248240 or agitation delay board WPW10104800. Read More...

Sal October 10, 2013 for Model Number MVWC6ESWW1 Washer starts agitating hard as soon as it is turned on - without the water filled. When on Normal load, clothes come out wet. Had a repairman come and he told me that a new timer would be needed. Total Cost approx. $300. How can I be sure it is the timer and not the switch. Thank you for your help.
1 Answer Hello Sal. That is not the timer, the switch WPW10248240 is bad and will need to be replaced. Unplug the switch and see if it still runs. If not, replace the switch. Read More...
