Maytag Ben October 15, 2014 for Model Number MVWC6ESWW1 I replaced the timer switch, but the new timer still stops between rinse and spin. I replaced the timer because it would not advance. Any suggestions? By the way I replaced it exactly how the video illustrated. Thank you!
1 Answer Ben, Check the lid switch WP8318084 circuit and wiring to the timer. The lid switch has to have a closed circuit to the timer in order for the washer to drain and spin. If the lid switch is OK, check the wiring to the timer from the load sensing switch WPW10248240 or replace the switch. The switch is the weakest link in the system, and if it doesn't send the signal to the timer delay motor, the washer will stop. Read More...
Peter June 22, 2014 for Model Number MVWC6ESWW1 Washer tends to refill a couple inches of water after done with spin cycle leaving clothes wet. Any idea of cause? Thanks.
Barry April 16, 2014 for Model Number Mvwc6esww1 The auto fill feature is not working on the normal cycle. The machine fills up all the way no mater how it is loaded. I replaced the temperature switch with no change. The other cycles seem to work fine. Any suggestions?
1 Answer Barry, You will want to check the pressure hose that comes off the temperature switch and make sure that there are no clogs in the tube or the air dome to make sure that it is not clogged. If these check ok then the most likely issue will be the flowmeter WPW10176591 Read More...
Rick February 12, 2014 for Model Number mvwc6esww1 maytag In your response to Tommy's problem regarding the tube which is connected to the sensing or temperature switch (part no. w10248240). You suggested blowing into the tube. I blew into it and this worked once before however this problem has recurred and there appears to be an obstruction when I blow in it. I do not see any kinks. The tube appears to directed to the bottom right side of the washer. How do I get at the other end of the tube to see if the tube has a kink in it. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Rick, This hose goes to the pressure chamber on the side of the outer tub. You cannot access the inside of the chamber but if you pull the inner tub you can access the opening to the other side of the chamber. To get to the outer part of the outer tub you need to open the control panel and remove the goldtone clips that retain the cabinet to the frame. Un-plug the lid switch and set the cabinet aside. You can then view the pressure switch hose and the pressure chamber. Read More...

Ken December 30, 2013 for Model Number MVWC6ESWW1 Maytag washer model MVWC6ESWW1 will not agitate or fill with water. But it does spin. Service Tech. suggested new timer (W10243947), this did not fix the problem. Any suggestions?
1 Answer Ken, since the washer won't fill or agitate, you would want to start at the water temperature/level switch WPW10248240 and check the air tube(blow in the end of the hose after you disconnect it from the switch) If the circuitry inside the switch has failed, the washer won't fill and agitate. There have been several issues with this style switch. That's where we recommend you start. Read More...
Mike November 27, 2013 for Model Number mvwc6esww1 My agitator and water fill at the same time.. When it goes to spin just before finishes it fills water then shuts off...Seems like it out of cycle.. What can be the problem? Washer is 3yrs old.
1 Answer Hello Mike. You will need to replace the timer WPW10243947 and the temp switch WPW10248240 to repair the unit. Read More...
Rob R November 17, 2013 for Model Number mvwc6esww1 Our problem is the same as this "My wife tells me when she starts the cycle it seems to start in the middle filling and agitating at the same time when its done there is water still in basket it will spine stop start to fill stop and that's it....Bad timer or something else?" I'm going to open the back and check connections first but if that does not work when you order the W10243947 timer do you also need to order the W10104800 Circuit Board, Agitation Delay? both are listed as non serviceable parts on the parts list (http://www.maytag.com/digitalassets/MLPDF/Repair%20Part%20List%20-%20W10258757.pdf) Also what you called the temp switch is the same thing as the as W10248240 ATC-Auto Load Sensing Switch correct? Thanks for your help.
1 Answer Hello Rob. You will need to replace the timer WPW10243947 and the sensor switch WPW10248240 to repair the unit. Read More...
