David April 19, 2023 for Model Number MVWX500XW1 In normal wash cycle after pressing start button it growled four different times over about 20 seconds like the drum might spin then the drum started filling with water led light shows sensing it filled with water for about 8 minutes switched to wash cycle. When the drum first started agitating it made a grinding noise but that stopped after about a minute into wash cycle. It agitated for about 10 minutes in wash cycle and then started draining the tub still in wash cycle after draining tub it paused for about a minute and entered the rinse cycle and probably ran about a minute switched to spin cycle and everything stopped just hung in spin cycle and tub never spinner.
1 Answer Hello David, In sensing mode the washer will do a slow spin to check the weight of the clothes. try manually turning the wash tub, there is no brake so it should turn freely in either direction. If it is hard to turn that likely points to a gearcase problem but also check under the washer for any problems found with the motor, belt, shifter, and splutch. Read More...
Brian December 13, 2022 for Model Number mvwx500xw0 Hi, My Bravos has been stopping mid cycle, flashing lid lock, with F1 E2 error code. Sometimes on start up the motor would just hum, no spin and would not power down when the power button was pushed. I would need to unplug the unit to get it to stop. I tried spinning the basket while it was humming (confirmed the motor was turning also) and it would not start. Probably 2 of the more expensive parts...but I'm leaning towards CB with the whole power down thingy. Any thoughts based on your experiences?
1 Answer Brian, The main control board of the unit would be the most likely cause with the F1 E2 error code coming up. Read More...
John Mccauley May 16, 2017 for Model Number MVWX500XW0 When I push the start button and it goes into its sensing mode, then the lid lock flashes and buzzes constantly. I have to unplug the washer to stop and reset. It now takes a number of times before the water starts flowing into the tub. Can you tell me if this is common problem and what to do.
1 Answer John, This issue would most likely be caused by a faulty lock assembly or the lock was not able to latch properly when the lid was closed. Read More...
Scott January 29, 2017 for Model Number MVWX500XW2 My Bravo washer has stopped advancing from the rinse cycle to the spin cycle. I have to manually advance the knob. Would this be a bad electrical board? Everything else works fine. Would the diagnostic test you've mentioned be my next move? Thanks.
1 Answer Scott, Yes, conduct the diagnostics test and check to make sure the cold water solenoid is activating in the test mode. Then try and recalibrate the control board. If the problem persists or is not rectified, replace the control board. Read More...
Duane December 03, 2016 for Model Number MVWX500XW0 I have a Maytag Bravo washer top-load it stopped agitating and spinning I have replaced the actuator and the clutch and the lid lock now all it will do is start to sence the clothes but will not advance to wash what is my next solution can you help.
1 Answer Duane, You will want to get the tech sheet from the control panel and put the unit into a diagnostic cycle and see if there are any stored error codes. This will guide you to what needs to be replaced. Read More...
Jesus M June 26, 2016 for Model Number MVWX500XL0 I plugged my washer into a bad outlet and now when I try to use it the washer will agitate for a few seconds then stop and won't do anything. After a while it will then move on through the cycles. It senses, fills, spins and drains fine, but it wont agitate.
1 Answer Jesus, The most likely cause for the unit to not agitate would the the shift actuator not working. The part number for the actuator is WPW10006355. Read More...
Nic S. December 29, 2015 for Model Number MVWX500XW0 The door lock light keeps blinking and the door locks and unlocks repeatedly but the wash cycle will never start. Does the door lock assembly need to be replaced or is this more likely to be a control board replacement?
1 Answer Hello Nic, You should use the units' diagnostic mode to diagnose this issue. This will most likely be the lid lock assembly W10404050 or the control board W10393448 but the fault code should point you in the correct direction. Read More...
Kevin July 07, 2015 for Model Number MVWX500XWO My washer is filling to the top of the washing drum. When the wash cycle starts water flow over the drum and on to the floor. I removed the water level pressure line, seemed fine, and reattached it. Started a new load, water level was at correct level and the entire load washed properly. Started another load and the water level went back to the top of the drum causing it to over flow. It has to be some type of pressure switch failing, only suggestions?
1 Answer Hello Kevin. Try blowing through the hose and making sure the air dome is clear. If so, then you will need to replace the pressure switch on the unit. Read More...
Don November 12, 2014 for Model Number MVWX500XWO When I start my washer it will fill with water and then when it goes to wash the lid is unlocked and it does nothing. If I push pause then start it will agitate and wash. Then I have to do this again after rinse when it goes to spin. Will not spin unless I do this. PLEASE HELP.
1 Answer Hello Don. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the control board W10393448 is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Thomas February 04, 2014 for Model Number mvwx500xw Clicking noise will not start. Reboot was working for a while. Than was stopping on spin cycle sometimes. Now reboot not working. Is there a way to diagnose?
1 Answer Hello Thomas. Yes, but it sounds like you already did it. If the unit could be reset and work, and now that does not work, you will need to replace the control board in the unit. If there is power to the board and it does not work, it is bad. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.
