Having had a 32 year career as technology teacher I appreciate the clarity with which you presented a complex system and allowed time and opportunity to observe and absorb. Thank you for helping so many. Keep up the good work.
Thanks! I have watched numerous videos to determine what is wrong with my Maytag and how to fix it myself. While I appreciate all who have shared their knowledge, your videos are by far the most useful in my opinion. Your explanation, screens, and pace are all fantastic. I want to thank you and show some support. Sharing your knowledge and experience is a tremendous help to those of us on our own.
This is what I like is someone who explains even the little things. I didn't even know the manual was inside the washer, kind of silly place to have it. I had already downloaded it and now with this video I hope I can diagnose the problem and fix mine.
I had already unscrewed the latch and noticed mine is spinning and starts fast then stops and the high agitator speed doesn't seem to be working. Not sure if it's the capacitor or something else. Sounds like the agitator at 1st also isn't in place or off if that makes sense and I checked the screw and it is in tight real tight and its hard to even unscrew so I can't check to see if spindle is worn if that's even the wording.
Thanks again for the tutorial and wish we could nominate videos for awards because this and all of yours deserves one for content.
Using this video to diagnose the problem AND run the recalibration, I fixed my washer! THANK YOU!
At first I thought it wasn't spinning. I came to CZcams and found you "washer not spinning" video. I went into the error codes and found a code that was not in the video. Then I found this video and it was the drain error. I ran the auto test, then the manual test, and the washer spun but did not drain. I found the part on Amazon for $25! It came next day, I installed it, ran the recalibration cycle, and IT WORKS! Thank you so much!
Gotta say this video was extremely helpful in getting my neighbors washing machine up and running tonight as he just picked it up earlier as a used unit that was supposed to work but wouldn't do anything when he got it home. Running through the diagnostics and the reset got her back up and running despite my lacking an entire understanding, but if a fumble wins the game I'll take it.. 😉 thanks for this one
Well done! It's heartening to see young people who know their stuff. Keep up the good work!
Wonderful video !!! Originally I got ripped off by the appliance repair guy from Sears who came over to check the washer . He ran a two minute self disagnoses and said it would cost over $600 for a new control board to repair so it wouldn't be worth fixing and gave me a 10% off coupon to buy a new one at Sears and charged me the $79 diagnoses fee . After watching a few of these videos I found out it was the actuator so I bought a new one for $25 and now the machine works perfect. Sears pulled a total rip off scam to get you to buy a new one. I complained to consumer affairs but they said it's legal to scam and cheat consumers and they really don't so anything down there but collect their government pay.
TY
I recalibrated many times & wouldn't start. I can't pull Washer out bc I just had surgery.
This morning I prayed and recalibrate and it's washing
TY and I pray for you 😊
Very good video, was a life saver, I ran the codes, couldn't quite figure them out, ran them again, no codes, is spinning like it should! Wife was hoping for a new washer! Not now!
You do a Great job with this video! I was able to fix our washer with your shared Knowledge. The only problem I had was getting it out of the "calibration/demo mode" I ended up unplugging the washer and held the on/off button in for a minute, plugged it back in and it worked. With your code diagnostics and viewing a few other videos I was able to make a semi-educated guess at what the problem was. It did turn out to be the actuator. I had thought I received the wrong part through "Sears Parts Direct" and brought the new part to an appliance parts store because it didn't match the part on my washer. I was told the part had been replaced with the black plastic version even though they did not look similar. It was true, and the part I had received did fit and worked.
Hope this may help others too.
Fixed! My washer apparently was stuck in sensing mode, because when I cleared everything back to factory default, presto, it works as it should. I had an appt scheduled for this Monday for a repairman. $95 trip charge, $25 per quarter hour labor, plus part. I was looking at roughly a $175 repair bill. Not anymore thanks to you. Much respect.
Hands down the best, most descriptive how to video on washing machines. Thank you sir.
Hey man this was very well done thank you so much! Honestly I had no idea a washer was so complex. I've used bits, bytes and nibbles to diagnose giant crazy expensive machines but never knew it was how I was going to get trouble codes from my washer. I know this video will help lots of people and we all thank you for making it. Hope you're staying safe and thanks again!
These style machines have some EXTENSIVE features that let you basically test everything and know what's going on to fix them 90% of the time before you actually take a single component apart. Its a little bit.... Complex... To get down, but we deal with these machines at my used appliance shop so much, we just plug them in with electric anymore, and do a pre-screen diagnosis so we can figure out exactly what it needs before it moves down the line for refurbishment, because that 5min test can work out junk that could take a solid hour to figure out by just running the unit.

Great job explaining this, as it’s NOT an easy thing to do for most homeowners; and even us Techs, can have some “troubles” IMO, as diff companies have diff steps for diag mode, and some still; haven’t updated the codes listing for older/current machines.....making things a bit “annoying” (which means ur in the iPhone with The Company’s Tech Support, &/or you are Googling the diag code number and seeing if get a bit on some site; heck, may even be lucky and the manufacturer has the code in their site😉).
So, again, IMO, did a fantastic job explaining diag modes/codes so that most ppl can follow along and understand if you are not a service repair tech👍🏻👍🏻
Cheers✌🏻
I finally found and stopped at a diagnostic video that is complete. All the others were very vague, incomplete and the narration resembled that of an auctioneer!
Thank you! 🤠👍
Excellent!!!
Thank you so much. We call Maytag repair and we're told there was no reset. You saved us $1k ( which we did not have!) You are my hero today!
These videos are extremely helpful. Thank you for taking the time to do them. They are so easy to follow and understand.
I used the access to the fault codes and was able to restore the washer to functioning properly. I didn't have to replace anything, just clear out the Fault codes. We were almost ready to buy a new washer. Thanks
This was very helpful for me to diagnose, fix, and reset my machine! Thanks for the video!
Thank you, still having problems but did manage to reset. You give very clear instructions.
Much appreciated! Didn't know if my Maytag had a diagnostic mode...but it did. I was able to decipher the error codes and have a mode shifter fault. It's stuck in spin mode and will not agitate. Thanks for the video! You saved me a lot of $$.
It was near the end of the video that you stated something I had never heard nor consider- after changing a part that effects the electrical system, recalibrate/reset the CB. Fantastic. Thank you.
Its extremely overlooked. The computer board doesn't magically *know* what situation a new component is in. Was the shift actuator in agitate or spin prior to replacement? The lid lock? What wash cycle? So many small things that the system assumes is true/false and it won't be able to conjure the situation until you force the machine to reset.
Phi u[ou ioo stew
thanks for the help! I was able to trouble shoot without opening up the top portion because of your video! working like a charm with the codes fixed
Your videos are the best, clearest, and most complete repair videos I have found. Really excellent. Only one thing, I have my Maytag drying now as I pulled tub, hub, and cleaned everything before I put in the new hub and put it back together. What I haven't found are any mentions of grease, silicone, etc when putting the tub back over the shaft. Do you recommend any lubricant/seal grease when putting things back together? PS Your video on the recalcitrant agitator was so REAL! This is my 3rd hub replacement and it was rough getting the agitator out. Hammer, dowel, hard steel hooked probes and a WD40 soak finally worked but my wife was already pricing a new machine. (Maytag Bravos - MVWX655DW1, 8 years old. (3 hubs, 1 actuator so far)
Excellent video homie !! it made it really easy for me to fix my washer 👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you for your tutorial, Ben! It's a couple days before Christmas (2020!) and I'm having trouble with my washer. Its timing couldn't be better! Sheesh!
Hope this helps!
@@bensappliancesandjunk can you help me with my washer?
Video was very helpful. Easy and clear instructions. Thanks for all the time you put into this.
Thanks homie. I was able to get back up and running thanks to you. I appreciate your time and effort!
Thanks for the help- I needed to locate the manual. The dreaded F3E2 code- replaced the valve and now works great
Thanks for the help!! I ended up changing the actuator assembly and now mine works perfect.
Very good video Sr.
Awesome straight to the point and simple explanation!!
Thank you very informative. I saw my problem listed as you were going over the trouble codes, 'no fill or long fill'. Whether I wash a 1/2 dozen light dress shirts or a weeks worth of permanent press, it fills to same level, the max. Being on well water, not too bad, but if I was paying a city water bill I would need to address the issue immediately, so I haven't tried to resolve as of yet. Other than that, I think it is a good washer. It is not 'sensing correctly' on startup. Tare weight is off I assume, needs a reset back to zero if possible. Hopefully it's an easy fix. I've had the washer since 2011.
Thanks for posting this video. With your help I was able to find the manual and troubleshoot a bad drain pump. $30 on Amazon next day I was back up.
Thank you for this!!! I have a lot of error codes, most scary though is the motor fault. I’m no handy woman but I’ll see what I can do on my own 😰
Motor fault means the motor won't run properly. There are two main things it can be:
1) The motor is bad, or the electricity isn't getting to it. Check the connectors, and test the motor w/ a multimeter.
2) The capacitor that is underneath, near the motor is bad and its not jolting the motor w/ electricity when it needs to, to help it start. Look for physical defects (like something popped on the inside), and test w/ a multimeter.
There can be other things, but we had #2 happen on a Motor Fault at my shop a week ago. Stumped my tech and I told him "Just check the cap real fast". 5 minutes later, the machine was running fine because we replaced the $20 capacitor.
This was such a life saver of a video. Our washer just stopped spinning and the agitation seems to be jank but I didn't know what was up. This answered so many questions on how to procede.
Wow! I am so glad it helped you!
thank you, great guide. im really curious what the problem/solution was to that particular washer, since im having the same problem with mine.
Well dang! I put it in diagnostics mode and must not have done it right. I started to re-watch video to see what I did wrong AND THE WASHER STARTED UP AND STARTED WORKING AGAIN! THANKS!!!
I just took a whole class with the nicest teach
Had no idea the service manual was hidden inside. Instructions in the manual are a bit cryptic so your video helped make sense of the process.
Exceptionally thorough instructional video! Thx
Hope it helped!
Hands down ... best help video EVER!!!
Very well done video. Excellent job of explaining things. Thank you so much!
Great video. Machine would fill with water then try to run and open the lid . Removed the transmission shift modulator and cleaned the pick-ups on the commutator and on the shift motor. So far so good.
Best utube illustration video I've evere seen👌bravo!
Amazing video man. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Thanks so much for this video. You're a godsend. It is very thorough and safety is definitely important
Your videos have been so helpful for us! We recently discovered our agitator wasn’t working… I had my suspicions months ago but my husband just figured I was complaining just to complain. Turns out… the agitator hasn’t been working since we bought it! The pin wasn’t attached to the proper spot so it was never engaging the agitation! A simple factory problem that wasn’t discovered for over a year! We ran the diagnostic test and then from the other video we got underneath and started examining the parts…. There it was!
You bought yourself a washing machine from hell. Why didn't you just stick your money down a rat hole?
What other video was that, if you do t mind sharing? Thanks!
Not sure if I'll ever have a chance to use this, but it was fascinating to watch.
Same
I have this same washer. My washer will not work automatically. You have to manually set the knob on what ever setting you desire for it to perform the desired setting. It will not continue to perform a complete wash
This is one of the best explained in detail videos I’ve seen in a long time
Thank you
This helped me so much the only thing different is my buttons are yellow and I have an extra cycle. But this saved me a washer service call thanks. 👍
Thank you very much, the reset worked for me and my washer is running once again.
Well played. I know this video took you a long time to make. I’ve considered making this video but you have done a much better job than I could have ever done. I bet you are going to see this video take off over the next few months.
I did a video similar to this back in January and its my #1 video so far. But it doesn't include all the extras between the manual/auto tests and recalibration... I figured that now, 9 months later, I've learned enough to do a better, more complete video on this, so I took another crack at it. There's still more I can do better at on this, but the views/watch time is better than the last one, so I'll take it.
I did the video mainly because I really liked Sears' video on the Kenmore VMW, but it just has how to get it into diagnostic mode, nothing about what all options you have, or the error codes themselves.
@@bensappliancesandjunk do you have a way I can contact you? I have some serious questions about mine!!! I have a similar model, just no agitator inside.
@@byronvontreal7046 should be on my profile for email
@@bensappliancesandjunk This is Maytag MVWC415EW.
This was a Great Video to watch.
I love you 💕
Thank you so much! My brand new Centennial has been sitting idle too long. Now maybe my man will fix it for me!
Thank you
Your excellent video was the reason I was able to troubleshoot and replace the gears on my Kenmore. Thank you than you
Really helpful! thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you. You saved the day today.
Bad ass video! Thank you! Very informative…Never knew where to start with these new washers now I do. Thanks again!!
Thank you! This worked great to diagnose and repair my shift actuator!!
Awesome video!! Great job. Awesome information
Thank you for your reply. You indicated the following "On the video, you can see how the sequence will flash, and then you can decode it thru all the codes shown on the screen along with their lights." I got that far, but I don't know how to decode. Also, would decoding solve the problem? I was told that it may be the Actuator that needs to be changed. Because it does not complete the fill cycle, but instead it throws the water out.
Once you get to the part where you can decode the error, rotate the dial to the right / counterclockwise and the errors will begin their flashing sequence.
The error will tell you generally why the machine is failing to to something you want it to. From there, you can single out the area that parts may need replaced.
Best video ever. Had a f 421 e 1 and it was cause the rotor was locked just like it said! Fixed!
This was a huge help! Thank you so much!
Great to find this channel, thanks for the help!👍
Thanks for the video man it was really helpful
Can you a video about removing control board? I had lid lock error. Ohms are supposed to read 85 to 155. Well it reads 177 and the lid locks back and forth on its on.
Great information. Thanks for sharing
Thank you very much, extremely helpful All i was, was a reset needed but I couldn't figure it out alone...thankg you once again.
Hello mine isn’t wanting to turn on how can I reset?
Spectacular video.
Thanks Ben, iv got the exact washer your showing, im off to the basement to try the code thing ,, thks oh by the way my maytag washer stops after washing clothes, i look in the drum and theres a pile of soaking wet clothes, but if i put the dial on drain and spin it finishes with sudsy water pumping out to the drain. Thks again from Canada. ps. i just noticed theres a rinse and drain also ,,,trying that now.
Does anyone know what the blank setting is for. Is it like a quick wash? Excellent video by the way!
great information, thank you and God bless you!
This video is so helpful. Thank you
What a great find. I'm subscribed and thank you!
I have this same washing machine and I replaced the "Splutch" and the shift actuator and ever since I did that the spin cycle is very loud, it sounds like it needs to be greased. Is there a place to grease the transmission or drive unit on this machine??
Thank you for this great video
This video is so well done and it is SO helpful man! thank you. seriously, this is just the best.
Glad it helped!
Thank you this was very helpful
How does the agitator come out? Is there something under it that would cause a slip or would it be the belt slipping?
Excellent information Thank you
This video has helped me try and figure out what is wrong with my washer. However, I am not sure if my issue is one that is listed. So, it throws the F0E7 error code. I have gone through manual test mode and attempted both spin modes. Low spin does a three spin burst and then finishes and the high spin sounds like it gets up to speed and then starts to slow down. I have tried recalibrating, but that does nothing. With a load in the washer, it sounds like it starts to spin, but then decides "nah, too much effort" and it doesn't maintain the high spin that it should. So, the clothes don't get fully wrung out and are soaked. Is this a problem with the shift actuator or something else?
Hi good day. How to replace the inlet valve and where to get the exact one or replacement that can work?
I haven't had my washer long. Maybe 6 months now and the clothes will sometimes get clean but other times the clothes come out still dirty. Any suggestions? I usually wash in the normal mode. Thanks in advance.
Thank you for this video! You saved me about 1000$ !
excellent tutorial
Excellant tutorial!
Very professional thank you
OK AFTER WATCHING 4 OTHER VIDEOS YOU ARE NO QUESTION THE "MASTER" OF WAHSING MACHINE VIDEOS! THANKS
I love this video. Thank you!!!
Wow this is honestly the best, and most helpful video I’ve ever seen!! Awesome job!
Brilliant video my friend, I have a maytag bravos that's just started to give me some problems. I didn't know about the codes and how to read them ,also how to open the top like you showed. I will give this a try and I will look for that manual as well. Thank you for making my life easier.
If it has the green oval lights, the codes/ect should be the same. If its a Bravos with a different interface, it'll come apart the same way to find tech manual, but input codes are likely to be different.
Completed diagnostics on my Maytag Centennial and got the F7E5 code. Which is the Mode Shifter Fault. Should I replace that Shift Actuator?
Thx bro for that excellent info about that damn maytage
Hope it helped!
Fantastic job
Our water source stops sometimes, that happened when the washer was working so naturally it's stops. But in every load of laundry we do after that, it stops on the "wash" mood even though the water flow is back to normal.
Thx. My Whirlpool WTW4816FW2 top load washer stops during wash and gets stuck in sensing mode=blinking sensing light. I have not been able to reset and or enter diagnostics with water in the machine. If I MT the water it appears to allow me to enter reset and possibly diagnostics. Question is do I have to MT the water again to enter diagnostics? Does this indicate a specific bad part? Thx
Very helpful video
Thanks, Ben! Very helpful today. Boy, the timing of turning the knob into diagnostics in touchy. Too fast or too slow. Got it though.
I have a Maytag washer like the one shown. It won’t drain the water. It sounds like the motor for the drain pump is running but no water comes out. I lowered the drain hose below the drum and all of the water drained out so there is no blockage. I also pulled the pump off to verify. I’m also having an issue where the washer won’t go into diagnostic mode when the water is still in the drum. I’m not sure if replacing the drain pump will solve my problems. Any thoughts?
thanks.....great real-life video.....one of the best....bob
Glad it helped!
