Nelson October 14, 2015 for Model Number WTW57ESVW0 The washer goes into spin cycle without first draining the water out in the tub and starts spinning with a full tub of water (start out slow)water comes up the side and over the top and onto the floor. This machine has a auto water level sensor. Could it be the problem with the sensor or the timer? Thanks nelson
1 Answer Nelson, The most likely cause for the issue with the unit would be the auto sensing switch. The part number for the switch is WPW10292584. Read More...
Dennis F August 11, 2015 for Model Number wtw57esvw1 This machine will always fill to the maximum. Is the problem the pressure switch or the flow switch? I looked on your schematics and I was only able to guess the flow switch. Thank you for the help, Dennis F
1 Answer Hello Dennis. If you raise the lid, the unit will always fill to maximum level. This is factory setting. If the lid stays closed once the unit is started, it should fill that full unless the load is large. If there is an issue will it filling without being raised, then the temperature switch WPW10248240 will need to be replaced. Read More...
Lisa December 13, 2013 for Model Number WTW57ESVH1 After washing the machine stop working, no power, it is just stop..what can be wrong???
1 Answer Lisa, You will want to check the lid switch on your unit to make sure that it is ok. If the lid switch does not have continuity when the lid is closed then the switch is bad and would need to be replaced. If the lid switch WP8318084 is bad the entire unit will not work. Read More...
Dean C July 13, 2013 for Model Number Maytag top loading washing machine, model no. MVWC6ESWW1 The Maytag washing machine is less than two years old. The problem is that on the normal, casual, and comforter/bedding cycles, the agitator starts as the water is filling the tub vs. the tub filling first and then the agitator. Some on line postings would suggest the temperature switch is bad and needs replacing, and another suggests it may be the timer. So I decided to test the various switches with an Ohm meter and possibly narrow the scope. In doing so, I was able to get the Ohm meter to move on all the switches except the timer. By moving, I mean the meter would only react if the red and black leads touched certain contact points on the switches. For instance, on the temperature switch, only two prongs on the both the long and short plug would work. For the fabric softener and extra rinse switches, only the prongs marked as 5 and 3 would move the Ohm meter. For the soil lever switch, only the prongs marked 5 and 2 would work. For the timer...no activity. I'm not sure if I'm testing the switches correctly, and if so, does this definitely mean the problem is the timer? How do you test the timer...which prongs? Your help is much appreciated.
1 Answer Hello Dean. Most of the time, the timer is the issue. However, the manufacture recommends with this problem, you replace both the timer WPW10243947 and the temperature switch WPW10248240 to repair the issue. Read More...
Gary May 10, 2013 for Model Number wtw57esvw1 Would want to know what to look for (1) were is the pressure switch (2) what to look for to test it should there be 110 voltage there? if not what would the ohms be? The machine will only spin will not let water in or agitate, there is no power to the water sol. To continue my question for got to say that this has a auto water level sensor have checked tubing to the water temp.setting. Where to from here? It says it has (Auto Loading sensing Triple Spray Technology)
1 Answer Gary, The water temperature switch and the load sensor switch(water level switch) in your washer is WPW10248240. If you disconnect the air hose and blow into the hose, to clear any possible debris or clogs in the tube, and replace the switch, you should be fine. Power into the switch is on the purple wire from the timer and out on the blue/orange wire, there aren't any listed resistance or voltage checks for the switch, at this point. Read More...

1 Answer Gary, The pressure switch is located in the control board behind where the water level selector knob is. You will want to check the pressure switch hose to make sure that it is not clogged or kinked. Check the air dome that the hose goes to and make sure that it is not clogged. To check the pressure switch you will do a continuity test in each level to make sure that you get continuity when pressure is applied. You can apply pressure through the hose by lightly blowing into the pressure hose. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Gary. If the unit agitates, but does not fill, the temp switch is bad. As for testing the switch, You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Washer2 March 21, 2013 for Model Number wvwc6esww0 Would the flow meter have anything to do with the hammering of my pipes when the washer stops filling with rinse water. This only happens when rinse water stops entering machine? I just replaced the sensor switch about a month ago. Because it would start to agitate before the water entered the machine. This now works. Now i have this problem. It all has to do with this centennial maytag washer. It is the only appliance that does the hammering
1 Answer Washer2, Normally what causes the hammering sound would be low water pressure. You will want to pull the hoses off the water valve and check to make sure that the screens are not clogged. If clogged clean out and recheck. If still making noise then the water valve would be at fault. Read More...
Hope February 19, 2013 for Model Number Whirlpool WTW57ESVW1 washing machine Almost 3-year old washing machine stopped between wash and rinse cycle, and would not fill with water. Tried all different wash cycles, extra rinse cycle, etc. to try to get water to enter. None - no sounds, nothing. The spin cycles DO work. Note: Switch-Sen replaced when machine was 1.5 years old. What part(s) should I order to try to fix myself ? Am thinking water inlet valve? Another Switch-Sen? Or should I have it hauled away? Thank you.
1 Answer Hello Hope, You will want to test to see if you are getting power to the water valve when the unit calls for water. If there is 120 vac then the valve may be bad. Check to make sure that the screen in the valve is not clogged. If this checks ok then replace the valve. Also check to make sure that the pressure hose is not clogged or kinked. Check to the lid switch for continuity with the door closed. If no continuity then you would need to replace the lid switch. Read More...
Boom February 03, 2013 for Model Number wtw57esvw0 I have a top load whirlpool washer wtw57esvw0 that will not start now. I dont know if there is a water sensor switch or the flowmeter or if it is the main control knob that has gone bad. It will not initiate filling with water. It will drain and spin and will aggitate if started part way in the delicates cycle.
1 Answer Hello Boom, You will want to check the pressure switch to make sure it is good. Also check the pressure hose for kinks and clogs. Read More...
