If you have a Maytag bravos washer with a touchscreen andis silver or black in color this video should help you out. If your washer is looking like it does not have power when you try to turn it on, it could be a few things.
1. Power at the Wall
2. Bad Main Board
3. Bad Control Panel/User Interface
4. Corroded Connection to UI(user interface)
4. Loose Connection or bad wiring harness.
With this video is will show you how to find out if it is your control board or User interface needs to be replaced. We go into detail on what to test for this issue. Hope this helps and good luck!
Thanks to everyone who commented about cleaning the contact points and thanks to the author for instructions on how to disassemble!!! Worked like a charm. My wife thinks I'm great!! CZcams for the win.
Same thing for me!
Yes, mine had the blinking light and 5v but the touch panel wasn’t working. I think it was just the contact between the panel and the board. You can see the blinking light by just removing the back panel screws and pulling the metal plate back. I had to remove the lid and touch control to get to the plug for testing the 5v, took about 5-10 minutes. I don’t know how long it will last but now know that mine is just a bad connection and simple fix.
Just happened to me, and had to piece together CZcams videos to get through the process. This 9 minute video doesn't really help. Basically, if you freeze it at 6:58....look at the 4 orange rectangles. You need to clean that with a Q tip and alcohol (vodka worked for me). The most annoying part was getting the silver clips through their hole to release the top frame. Don't squeeze with pliers....take pliers/screwdriver and when lid is vertical, push down on the silver clips (pliers were too thick to use on the left side) and then push in.
Same here, had to clean off all the connectors and works as normal now!
@@tarheel1116 You're talking about on the right side, close to where the yellow/black wires come out? They're very small right?
Nice video. It's really unforgivable that Maytag sells these POS washers and basically doesn't support them afterwards. I'm so frustrated with mine that given the option I would literally launch it with a trebuchet into the Maytag HQs to adequately lodge my complaint. Perhaps with this help I can actually get a load of laundry done
Thanks I needed a good laugh!
Yup. Mine is barely two years old and costed almost a grand. It is straight up criminal. They are kind enough to sell me a new pos board for just 640. Crooks! Never again Maytag. I tell everyone I know.
Yeah! I’ve given up on mines. Buying an old fashion front loader washer… guess this is what I get for trying to be trendy
Yep the he'll with maytag peices of shit won't buy another
Agreed I think it’s time to start a class action on Maytag for the washers second time replacing this same board all together
Thank you so much for this video. Turns out my board and display were fine and it was a dirty contact. Cleaned it up and it's working again. That being said... I absolutely hate this washer and dryer. Maytag dependable my arse.
Thanks. That was awesome. I fixed it by cleaning the contacts, but when I need parts I'm calling you guys!
Awesome video! Thanks to this I was able to open it up and diagnose the problem. It turned out to be corrosion on the small circut board for for the display panel. Just below where the power connects to the display panel are some copper looking nodes. Cleaned them with a q tip and alcohol. Panel came back to life!
This fixed mine and I am dumbfounded
This comment saved me $300+!!! Thank you so much!!!
Same here! Worked like a charm
Thank you so much for the easy cleaning tip. Fixed mine in 10 minutes. Thanks to both of you for helping me fix my 4 year old washer. COME ON MAYTAG YOU CAN DO BETTER LoL!! 😆
We just used this tip to get our 5 1/2 year old Bravos XL washer going again. Amazed that it worked and saved us a lot of money. Thank you!
What if you already have the green light on here like you said, but you got nothing. Going to the front panel control?
My unit is the Maytag model mvwb765fw3
At the moment I hear the pump trying to pump out all the water, but I don’t have any screen. What do I do from here? Do you think my control panel is out?
Thanks for the video!! I was able to fix my washer by cleaning the contacts with Q-tip and alcohol. This saved me time and money.
Thank you for posting this. It was a great help Diagnosing the problem. I did have to order a new panel because cleaning it did not help. But thanks to you I new the control board was good.
I found a video that shows how to remove the control cover. You lift the lid, the use a putty knife and push the locks to release the control cover.
m.czcams.com/video/IpLF007BXmw/video.html
Post the link…
Where are the locks? I tried and tried and could not remove it and I don’t see the video
This actually helped a lot for figuring out what was wrong with my washer. Thank you!!!
I just happen yo run into a thing like it. 2 dyas ago it wouldnt turn on anymore and trip my breaker. Trying to find a rest button or something. I just pressed power button and the hold like play pause button for a a few seconds, and viola it reset it said force reset. Then turned off. And press power button and now it works.
Cleaning the contacts worked for me, thanks so much for the video!
That was very helpful video, I did what showed and problem solved, thank you, thank you, I really appreciate the video, save me time and money. GOD BLESS YOUI.
Hey i got a way better fix. Throw it out. Its a garbage washing machine. Totally regret getting it
Same
Unfortunately they all are
Where did you order your control panel from? I’m having issue with mine and it’s 3 1/2 years old.
3:03 Most likely its a capacitor you should look into the voltages each capacitor has & check them to find the faulty one. The big metal piece is just a heat sink. But capacitors are usualy only a couple bucks versus a couple hundred to replace the board. But you have to get the schematics for each washer you work on to check it out.
Hey my Maytag washer looks very similar to his. I just got another circuit board from ebay....When everything is connected is there suppose to be a light that comes on? Ive purchased another cord as well... neither when in use turns on the light bulb or power on the machine... your thoughts? thanks in advance
I just use your video to troubleshoot my washer thank you so much excellent information
So if the green light is blinking, its the display that’s shot?
What if the panel lights up and starts the wash cycle but will not spin the water out.The power light blinks on even after it is unplugged. Since it started messing up it did wash one complete cycle perfectly. I can't even find a repairman to come check it out. I have had it 5 yrs in August. So disgusted 😢 Your videos are showing me more of the problems I am having. You explain it so simple I am tempted to give it a try myself. I am a 64 yr old grannyma.😁please help me if you can😊
Great Video! Exactly the issue. I checked the power on main board 120V, but NO Power on interface plug. I purchased a used control board and it worked ONLY for 20 minutes. Power to Control panel disappeared. This second control board has NO power on interface plug. Any hints what could cause the interface plug to go out????? Hope you can give me some diagnostic tips... Thanks again
thanks for all the info, I have the correct voltage on the main board but still no power to the control panel.
Yr videos are much appreciated they extremely helpful.
This video is excellent. My washer won’t turn on at all. I have the 120v at the plug connection as described in the video. Instead of 5v going out tot the head, I have almost 10v. Is that the issue? Do I replace the board? The green light is still flashing on the board.
Do you know if the led not on or flashing means the board is bad for all Maytag washer control boards or is that a specific thing? I have the same issue with a different model specifically MVW6230HW. I do have 5v at the connection to the display board but won’t power up and also won’t go into diagnostics mode.
I have this exact machine.
As of right now I do have power, The only thing is it takes me forever to get it to start and stay on, I've unplugged it a few times and whatnot and then it'll work eventually.. And then when it works the machine does do the loads.
Thanks. At 2:15 I wish you would have shown what you switched your multimeter to and exactly what you touched your probes to. Greenhorn here
AC volts for main incoming power and DC volts for secondary power going to small plug.
Been out a washer for about 2 weeks now, and this is the exact issue im having with my washer. cant find a repair guy so now im looking at youtube for help...
Very helpful! Thank you for the video!
i have 120volts coming in, no green light, I do not get 5v at the connector. The display lights up but there is a buzzing noise back around the circuit board. Machine does not operate
I did the same thing you just did to my washer it worked for 20min than it shuts down the door is locked can't open it than when I took it apart the green light is not on anymore in the circuit board can you tell me what cause it to breakdown
Thanks for the video!! Just saved me a ton of money!!!
I changed the control board and the panel when I turned the knob for the cycles. It just goes to light up each individual unit on the screen. Is there a way to reset this?
I have 120v going in, and 5 volts. Green light is blinking, no corrosion on the interface. When I cleaned and plug back in still not turning on.
Do I replace the board or the interface please?
What happened? I’m having the same issue.
Nevermind, i DID have corrosion. It was on the display board. Not on the connector pins, but on a little copper colored rectangle next to it. I cleaned it with isopropyl and the board powered on. Good luck!
Have this exact problem but I’m having trouble getting the cover off to check everything you did in the video lol
Is that covered by Maytag? Mine just went out, it’s about a year old.
I tested the control panel where power goes and I have 123v and for the other 5.07v. I also have a blinking light, but it will not power on.
Try pressing power and play pause for a few seconds and put dial in 3 oclock position. Hope it works, it did for me.
Did you try this? I have the same issue
@@rudy2ndjr how did you put it on the 3 o’clock position? This model has no dial indicator.
Raquil I was able to figure it out. Was some corrosion on one of the display board parts. Not the connector pin, but a little copper colored rectangle next to it. Cleaned it with isopropyl and a qtip. Worked like a charm. Good luck!
@@maceireann did you try power and start pressed for several seconds until it resets?
I've had this washer for 4 years and it's broken down 4 times. The control panel had to be replaced and they sent another control panel and that was defective so had to order another one.
Thx for the video. I did what you said and it works great now. Awesome advice.
What setting do I put on my digital multimeter to check the 120 volts? And I leave the qasher plugged into the wall right?
I have a maytag washer. Same as yours. My problem started with the washing machine turning on but it would not start a cycle and the knob wouldn't select any wash types. None of the buttons even worked for that matter. Figured it was the main control board, replaced that. $250 later it works! But the bad news is it only worked for 1 wash and now its back to the same issue. What could it be?
I’m having the same issue.. did you figure out the issue?
@@beautymeka4877 I did not unfortunately.
@@rockbandgamer by any chance does your plug on your washer have burnt tips? The technician is coming to my house this afternoon. I will keep you updated on what they say is the issue.
@@beautymeka4877 No it didn't. But I replaced both the console AND the circuit board underneath the console and that didn't fix it. I then tried some diagnostic codes by pressing buttons and it magically worked. What did the techician do for you?
It sounds like a control panel.
Saved me a service call. Thanks.
Where to buy new panel would be helpful
Is a continuous green flashing light good or bad?
Good
Thanks!
Thought I would ask but I have the same washer when I plug it in the power shuts off and on and it won't stay on would you know why it would be doing that
These Bravos machines are straight garbage. Had to replace the board and controller on the dryer and now the washer won’t power on. All in less than two years of use.
My Maytag Model MVWX655DW is on the drain cycle when plugged in, all lights or off, why?
What’s the board part called?
How much was the part?
Unable to turn up volume enough to hear - unable to turn computer volume any higher either. Have no trouble hearing most videos but this one is too low.
Switch on your closed captions and you can read it.
@@CarolBall-gx3rd DOH. Thank you!!
What if I don’t have 120v at the black and white Connector wires ?I tried switching wall plug with a known good one and still does not show 120v
What happened? I'm in the same boat.
@@maceireann Do you have power coming out the outlet?
@@AK99581 I do have power coming out of the outlet. I thought maybe I had low voltage, like 98v. But it turns out I just had a bad meter. I ended up finding a very small bit of corrosion on the display board. I rubbed it off with some rubbing alcohol. Worked like a charm. Good luck!
So if I’m seeing the green light . It’s the display , correct ?
Dylan, I am probably too late for you. My machine would not turn on. The green light was flashing on my board. I followed the wires up to the control panel. There is a small circuit board there with 6 exposed copper contacts. They were covered with corrosion. I scraped them clean and used alcohol to remove the remaining debris. When I plugged the panel back into the board, it came to life. It's running as I type this. That little cleanup job saved me $250.
@@davidcoryell7373 you’re a genius, this worked for me
I ohm out the wall plug to the connector and ohms passed so I don’t think it’s the plug that’s the problem
What if there’s only 4.95 volts at the i terface
I have the same problem with mine it won't turn on but I hear the drain pump trying to drain water
I have 5 volts at interphase plug and 5 volts at green light but light not flashing? Bad bulb?
Awesome video!! Thank you very much..
I am having the same problem. My light on the control panel is blinking and I have 120 volts. But I am getting no reading at the other console connection. I am hesitant to purchase the control panel only. Is there another way to test the console to ensure it still works?
I've had about 5 or of these machines this month and 3 needed the control panel. It's starting to seem like a pretty common issue
My washer battery I turn it on it keeps blinking F6 E2 , what's that means?
I had the same issue but my new board took a crap after installing 🤦🏽♂️
How much is aftermarket board
What's board called? Interface? I have the XL BAVOS MAYTAG WASHER. DRN problem, no clogs, no bad pump, only thing next . It's got a F3E2 code. Where you order part please?
Did you ever find out if the main control board was the issue? Im working on one with the same issue. Put it in diagnostic mode and now the user interface is frozen. Even after reseting by unplugging for hours it will not respond by touching or rotating the knob. I think its the main control board, but not sure if its the interface.
@@scrappypossum yes I believe it's the control board
How much was the board?
Creator should reply to comments.
Do you have part number
What if the green light is on
How did you open it? There is zero explanation
What if no 120? I got 5v but no 120
Anyone know more or less how much that part costs?
Good job. Bravo!
Thank you! Cheers!
Are most boards 5 volts to power plug ?
Maybe? not too sure. I would say anywhere between 5-12vdc. I have more experiece with these whirlpool products though. This washer in particular.
I have this washer but it won’t fill with water enough to cover the clothes and the wash part don’t move enough to clean the clothes is that normal
Use the bedding setting.
@@dixiepettit8512 i do but it still don’t fill
@@cherrych33ks45 I hear ya, these washers are water efficient. Have you watched any of the CZcams hacks to raise the water level?
czcams.com/video/srSNVhE5AN0/video.html&feature=shares
What if I have 8 volts instead of 5 volts at the interface plug? Thanks!
Good question. I would think it would work but to be honest I have no clue if it would or not. Haven’t ran into that before. One other thing is it could be your meter that is off. Check the power at the wall and see if it is in the 130’s vac if so it may just be your meter
@@BeardedApplianceRepair Many thanks! We have had a few problems with this washer, and have opted to get a different washer instead of spending $300+ for the board or user interface.
@@ariannebradwilliams5745 so you’ve priced that electric pans and is $300?? Since I hate this washer and dryer, too damn deep/big, I might hafta buy another washer
@@MichaelThomas-or3od Yes. the board is very expensive. Its a little cheaper now-a-days though $200-ish
These newer washers are garbage , too much electronics and doesn’t hold up because of the laundry detergent chemicals kills the board in these
nice
How much for the part?
@1:55 that contact is damaged from hot steam. Maytag designed that control panel poorly and it should have been recalled or at least a fix. I'll never buy another Maytag washer again. Made in USA poor garbage, of course a washer panel can get humid!
Mine went out and looks pristine. Rarely wash with hot. Still went out. I am violently anger right now. Spent TWO hours on the phone/hold for them to claim the 10 YEAR WARRANTY only covers the stainless tub and motor. Nearly a $1000 machine barely lasted TWO years. It is criminal!
@@joshuaricard8771 Agree but Maytag doesn't care they got their $1000 but horrible reputation. I'll never buy another MAYTAG Product again :D
No flashing green light, but I have 5 bolts 😅
Can't hear the volume is too low
Toughest part is taking the stupid display cover off.
If you ever work on cars, this is a piece of cake to remove and install. Isn't this covered by the 10 year warranty?
Only tub and motor covered by the 10 year warranty.
I will be calling you... I need that exact control board.
Mine is a W11105155
Liguid soap got dumped on the machine and got onto the lock mechanism plug. It shorted out and burnt the clip on the board.
Just called and found out there's not a one available in this country. Thank you So Much D.S. Biden...
Same problem Maytaig will do nothing
I would not recommend this washer to anyone in fact i tell people stay clear of it
Speak a Lil louder next time
Speak louder bro
Terrible video from my pov
I have the Maytag Bravo Dryer and did the pulley replacement put it all back together and now it just gives me a check lint screen error and will not turn on?
What setting do I put on my digital multimeter to check the 120 volts? And I leave the qasher plugged into the wall right?
Your multimeter should have a V with a wavy line for 120 volts AC(alternating current) for your wall outlet and a V with straight lines for DC(direct current). Some say AC volts or VAC(110v-250v house electric) and DC volts or VDC(usually 5v-12v for most small electronics)
Thanks!
How much was that part?
how much that parts cost?
Mine was quoted at about $330.00
