Dave August 06, 2013 for Model Number MVWC6ESWW1 3 year old washer will operate in all modes except spin. Cycling the lid switch or timer knob will make it advance to spin cycle. Thank you in advance for sharing your wisdom. Regards, Dave
1 Answer Hello Dave. If you manually place the unit into spin cycle, and it works, then you will need to replace the timer WPW10243947 on the unit. Read More...
Al F June 25, 2013 for Model Number MVWC6ESWW0nm When the washer is turned on, The ajitator starts immediately and after a couple of minutes the inlet water starts. (it used to start the input water first to be followed by the ajitatation. At the end of the spin cycle, incoming water starts for a short time, enough to get the washed cloths soaked wet. I then need to manually turn it back to spin, and then shot it off after the when no water discharge is noticed. My gut tells me that I need a new timer. Please advise
1 Answer Al, Your "gut" feeling was close, You'll need to check the wiring at the load sensing switch WPW10292584 and the delay timer on the back of the mechanical timer WPW10104800. Both these components control the water fill process, and the timer advancement. If there are no loose connections or damaged wiring, replace the sensor switch. Read More...

Al March 27, 2013 for Model Number MVWC6ESWW1 Washer will fill on normal but won't agitate and the timer will not advance it will spin if I advance it manually. The motor runs and the coupler is fine and the lid switch is ok.If it is the timer will I have to also buy the piggback one too. Thanks,AL
1 Answer Al, If you are hearing a humming noise when it is supposed to be agitating then the timer is bad and would need to be replaced. You would want to replace the piggyback at the same time. Read More...
Scott March 04, 2013 for Model Number MVWC6ESWW1 When running though the wash cycle the machine only buzzes and does not move into the spin cycle. The tub is full an will not spin out.
1 Answer Scott, Based on description, it sounds like the drain pump has siezed up or is clogged not allowing the motor to spin. You will want to check the drain for clog or not rotating. Read More...
Tommy October 19, 2012 for Model Number MVWC6ESWW1 When starting the wash cycle, the agitator starts working at the same time as the tub is filling with water and when the washer stops, the clothes are still soaking wet, as if the spin cycle didn't finish. What part do we need to repair this?
1 Answer Tommy, The place to start is the Temperature switch WPW10248240 check the wiring and connections at the switch, disconnect the air tube, and blow in the end of the hose, this will clear any debris in the tube, check and make sure the tube is not kinked or twisted. If alls OK, replace the switch Read More...
Linda October 18, 2012 for Model Number MVWC6ESWWO When I start a wash cycle, the agiatator starts up and the water fills at the same time. At the end of the wash, at the very end of the spin cyle, water goes into the machine and the clothes are al l wet. This happens on all the different wash cycles. I noticed the other questions are all similar. Is this the timer or a switch?
1 Answer Linda, The timer is the last resort, you need to check or replace a couple of other things first. Check the air dome hose WP353244 make sure it's not twisted, kinked or clogged with debris. If you disconnect the hose from the sensor switch and blow in the end, you can usually tell, and if theres any debris, you clear it. Next check the wiring at the sensor switch WPW10292584 and electronic control WPW10104800 then replace the sensor switch, if alls OK. Read More...
Fred September 29, 2012 for Model Number MVWC6ESWWL We have a maytag bravos topload washer. The wash cycles do not automatically switch from wash to rinse to spin. We need to manually turn the knob to go to the next cycle. What part needs to be replaced?
1 Answer Fred, You'll need to check the wiring harness between the temperature switch WPW10248240 and timer delay control WPW10104800. If there are no visible issues and no loose connections, you'll want to repalce both components. Read More...

Brian June 30, 2012 for Model Number MVWC6ESWW When I start wash cycle machine starts to agitate instead of filling w/water checked your sight which said it might be sensor switch. How can I tell if the switch is bad as I am a senior on a limited budget and would like to be sure before I replace this part? My Machine is 2 1/2 yrs old. Tks in advance for your response.
1 Answer Hello Brian. Based on the information you provided, and the model of the unit, the sensor switch WPW10292584 is the issue. There is a wiring diagram in the control panel you can use to bypass the switch and see that the unit fills with water. However, if you order the switch and it does not fix the issue, you can return the part. Read More...
