Jim May 19, 2020 for Model Number MVWC300VW1 My maytag washer has a new fill valve assembly and it runs hot instead of cold for the rinse. I checked the hoses to make sure they weren't crossed. I checked the wires to make sure they're connected. If there was a bad connection I wouldn't think it would put any water in at all. Do you think it's the temperature control switch or the timer? Thanks.
1 Answer Jim, it would be recommended that the wires to the valve are checked to ensure they are set properly. The brown wire with red tracer should be set on the hot water solenoid. If it is, then the failure would be in the water temperature selector WPW10202616. Read More...
Dawn December 31, 2019 for Model Number Maytag MVWC300VW1 My wash machine will wash as normal, but when it gets to the rinse cycle it just stops. Does not fill will cold water. I have replaced the water inlet valve and did not seem to fix the problem. Would it be the Temperature switch? I am at a loss....will wash only in hot, no water at all for rinse. I have to stop the cycle and restart a new to "rinse" my clothes....mind you it is only HOT water working. HELP!
1 Answer Dawn, First check the wiring between the WPW10202616 / W10202616 Atc Switch, Mid-Level and the connections at the fill valve(especially the wire harness connection at the switch), If all's OK, replace the switch. Read More...
Jeremy August 18, 2019 I have a Maytag Centennial washer. When the washer is filling, if cold is selected, it gets cold. If warm is selected it gets warm. If hot is selected, it just stays warm. It won't go to just hot, even if I wait till the washer completely fills. Would this be the part that I need to replace?
1 Answer Hello Jeremy, due to energy usage restrictions, the washer has an Automatic Water temperature control that limits hot wash fill to about 105 degrees. If the temperature of the wash water in tub is lower then that then it is a faulty Atc Switch,WPW10202616. Read More...
Maria May 19, 2019 My question is if i just want to use cold water do i need both hoses connected or can i just coonect the cold water hose?
1 Answer Hello Maria, the unit is designed to cycle between cold and hot and the missing hot water might cause the unit to flag an error code if it has that availability. Hope this helps! Read More...
Ken M April 02, 2018 for Model Number MVWC400VW1 Maytag centennial washer. When the automatic temperature control is set to hot it starts out cold and then switches to hot and only dribbles out. If I shut the hot water off to the machine and then immediately open the hot supply again it comes out fine. I have replaced the inlet supply valves. could it be the Automatic Temperature control itself?
1 Answer Ken, Based on your post information, the ATC switch is working, there's a remote possibility it may be the issue, but. First check and flush the faucets and pipes for a few minutes, check and clean or replace the screened and flat hose washers WH1X2267 and WPY013783 (2ea), then if the problem persists replace the switch.

Ralph January 30, 2018 for Model Number MVWC500VW1 Maytag Centennial top load washer: Cold water solenoid sometimes bangs on and off when the temp selector is set on warm. Have owned the washer since 2010. Never did this before. I have Sioux Chief Mini-Resters installed. I suspect the thermistor in the water inlet is bad or the circuit board in the temperature selector switch is bad. How do I test. I have a multi meter. Or could it be something else?
1 Answer Ralph, With this issue the water valve chattering would not be caused by a temp switch or a thermistor issue. This would more likely be caused by a faulty water valve this causing this issue. You could test the thermistor for resistance but unfortunately we do not have the resistance reading on it.

Celso May 22, 2016 for Model Number Maytag MVWC500VW1, SER1240211 When you select cold water, no water comes into the tub. When you select cool water, hot water comes into the tub.
1 Answer Hello Celso. You will need to order and replace the water valve WPW10144820 on the unit. Read More...
Jerry R. October 10, 2014 for Model Number mvwc500vw1 Washer works until the drain spin cycle section on timer, then it seems to stop . It will work if we advance dial a bit then it seems to finish, have already replaced timer .any ideas
1 Answer Jerry, Check the lid switch assembly WP8318084 and wiring. The lid switch has to have a closed circuit for the timer to advance and complete the circuit in the timer for the washer to drain and spin. Also check and make sure the lid hinges and bearings are in tact and the lid isn't fitting loose. Read More...
Reed December 02, 2013 for Model Number MVWC300VW1 My washer will not advance to the rinse cycle, I ordered the timer from you and replaced it but it did not fix the problem. In a chat with one of your people they said it might be the ATC switch. One other thing I noticed was the amount of water coming into the tub is very low when set to cold, which is most of my washing temperature. I have tried the three different wash cycles, Regular, Delicate and Casual, and I have tried them with and without the Extra Rinse cycle set on, but the result is the same, the machine will not fill with water for the rinse cycle, all that happens is a slight hum, also the timer will not advance. I have ordered the ATC switch, I hope this fixes the problem.
1 Answer Hello Reed. Check the cold water screens and make sure they are not clogged. If not, you may need to replace the water valve. Read More...
