A viewer told me I needed to add a link so people could buy me a Beer or Coffee when they are so helped, especially financially by my videos, so here it is Thanks 😃: www.paypal.me/marksreviewstut...
Please tell me which video helped you.
Great information! After running the diagnostic and smoothly running through the cycles I learned there was NOTHING wrong with my Maytag washer. Therefore, I looked a little further and found that our cold water screens needed to be cleaned out due to our exceptionally rusty water. Next load of laundry washed without stopping mid-cycle. Thank you!
Where do you find the water screen?
Hope that what is wrong with my washer..its stopped on spin cycle ..now the load door want go in the locking safety function..but maybe service man will get figured out...
You are a lifesaver. My Maytag was stuck on the Dash button and I did that counterclockwise thing and it’s all good.
So much better than some of the other half-assed videos. Thanks.
THANK YOU !

THANK YOU AGAIN !
Picked up a replacement washer from a used store. Same as the one in this video. Thanks for the peace of mind.👍👍
Thank you so much! Thank you for making this video. Thank you for posting this video. And thank you for being so hopefully descriptive. Your directions are so easy to understand. I really appreciate that
Because you were so patient and showed us how to reset it, then cycle, I got it on my 1st go!
THANK YOU for helping me find my model number. the sticker was tucked up under there so well while trying to look everywhere for it I skimmed past it a dozen times.
Before doing this, try unplugging the washer for 60 seconds and then plugging it in. After that, open and close the lid 6 times each with in a 12 second period. Give it a bit and it should work. If it doesn't work, try the method in the video
Thank you for this advise! I was having trouble starting it up again and after doing this technique it worked! Thank you, again😀
Omg.. thank you this worked
Worked
I tried this and green sensing light came on, heard a click and now a hum. Not filling with water.
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 , took ten minuts to install 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 except collect their government pay.
Great video. Thank you so much, this saved me from having to buy a new machine, for now.
Thank you!!, excelent video, it has saved me a lot of money. Never again will I pay $ 200 for a technician.
Call me next time I'm alot cheaper
Thank you so much ! So useful i was sure i needed a new washer !! I did not ! Thanks to you !
Thank you. Ran the test cycle, and that got mine going. Saved me a potentially expensive repair call.
Anthony Klaumenzer So glad it helped. 😃 MRT
Thank you! You're just a Great! Easy instruction, really appreciate it! God Bless!
Thank you very much. Worked for me (Drain & Spin cycle was not working on machine, it was washing instead, all positions on the control wheel were offset).
Thank you for this video it really helped me simply put and to the point thanks again
Just got one of these used. Couldn't get it to power on. Did this and all kinds of stuff started happening. Thanks
THANK YOU MARK !! Never would have I known how to resolve my Maytag Centennial without your video. On the third try of your tutorial I got the Centennial to respond and it went into diagnostic mode. It ran thru the rest cycle and fortunately I didn’t need to go in the other direction. It rebooted and I then was s able to run full cycle again. My original problem was it wouldn’t unlock and get past sensing mode but your video fixed it . Thanks for saving me MONEY ! If it happens again I’ll look for your codes section video
Thank you for your helpful videos.
Worked like a charm. Thank you!
MellowMadnessRMX Great. Glad it helped. 😃
Got it, was the basket sensor. Thanks for your help
Dave Smith So glad. Thank you for putting the solution up here too. That really helps others. Thanks
Thank you so much! You are awesome!
Thank you so much I really appreciate it I needed this so much was so lost trying to do these things
So glad it helped 👍
This helped us so much thank you for this video!
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent video. Spot on.
Thanks. Good info, used this video to help fix my washer
So glad it was helpful Ben.
Have a great day.
Ben D
I need help fixing my washer
Thank you that helped me a lot👍👍
Thanks so very much!!!
Great video! Unfortunately I could never get my MVWC300XW1 (Maytag Centennial) to get to the troubleshoot mode or diagnostics. (I wrote your step by step down and tried it at least 10 times). I tried washing a load and heard it click-clacking this evening and pressed the stop button and took a quick look and though it was in the wash mode, the water was crystal clear (no suds) and it was obvious that it wasn't agitating. I unplugged it, waited about 30 seconds, plugged it back in and then it drained. I then turned it to drain and spin and then it did a full wash cycle (including agitating). I did smell a lite electric/motor smell (not heavy) when I lifted the lid.
Anyway - what a POS I dont think I'll ever buy a Maytag product ever again!
You’re the 🐐!
One thing I found out this weekend with my machine is that it would not run diagnostics with clothes and water in the drum. We had to remove the clothes and suck the water out with a shop vac. Once we did that, diagnostic mode was brought up really easily. In case anyone is having trouble getting their machine to go into diagnostic mode!
Yep had to do this too. Sucked all the water out of the inside but that wasn’t enough. Had to unplug the drain hose in the back. Have your towels ready!! But it finally went into diagnostics mode after that
Thank you, you saved me a lot of money! God Bless!
Thank you for the help. I was able to fix my parents washer.
Thank you very much.
It's Really Work - Thanks
NILMINI2015 👍
Thanks this helped me fix mine . I had a sock stuck ind the drain and cleared the codes and it was like new .
jeff morrison So glad it helped. Well done fixing it. 👍
Did you have to remove the sock first?
Thank you so much
I think my Maytag is done...at least I think the motherboard is. I've had it for 2 years (already used) and had "thinking" problems at first. It seemed to clear itself up after 2-3 loads and had very rare "thinking" problems since. Then I had spinning issues (leaving clothes sopping wet) off and on, basically when it felt like being a "good worker." I tried your diagnostic and it took me at least 10 tries before the lights came on. When they did, I turned it to wash mode. It tried to start, making a noise, then it started to wash with no water and then the lights went off and the lid lock, unlocked, but it was still washing with no water or lights on. It finally stopped and I have not been able to get it back to diagnostic mode again. Also, I tried a regular cycle, it wouldn't start, I turned it off (3 second hold on start button), lights off and lid open, but you could still hear the brain trying to start even with everything off.
Thanks you sir i done my machine
Thank you!
Mel 👍
thank you!
So Glad it helped.
Thank you
thank you
So glad it Helped. Mark's reviews
Thank u
Just thought I would add information that I accidentally found......My machine is not draining or spinning correctly either so I was feeling around the edge of the tub inside washer between tub and outside shell...I found a ziplock bag attached (glued maybe) to the shell I opened up baggie and pulled out a little booklet that says "FOR SERVICE TECHNICIAN'S ONLY" and it has how to run diagnostics and error codes in it. Never would have thought that would be there. Hope this helps everyone.
Thanks for adding that info. Yes mine had that book stuck to the side as well.
OMG! Thanks to you I discovered EXACTLY what you referred to- a baggie w/ booklet in it- like SRSLY superglued to * IN BETWEEN OUTER SHELL AND TUB on *left side liquid bleach drain , nearly breaking my wrist to retrieve this MOST RIDICULOUS placement EVERRRRRR of a trouble shoot for most CRAPPPPPPY product! Like WTH?!. Personally I think this should be airbrushed on outside top lid for those of us subjected to this awful machine. It was brand new when I moved into place- but from day one I could tell how cheaply made this product is- from the banging and uncleanliness job it would do on clothes, even though I have always been extremely cautious to not over load etc... Anyway! I am anxious to see what I can do abt this, trying to be nice to save trouble on my elder landlord...again THANK YOU! I hope I can work something out and get this thing to spin & drain again... fingers x’d! And just ❤️RUclips for giving more power to the people!! Best~
Thank you so much for this!
Thanks! Its like they don't want you to find it. Lol
Anyone know where to get a replacement copy if it’s not on the inside of the washer
Awesome 👌
Glad it Helped
You're the man! Subscribed. Great videos
Jesse Houston So glad it helped. 😀
Good
goooooood
dam man its working!.!.!!!!.!!!!!!!!!!!. Thanks!!!!!..!!l!!!!!!!! you'll do it yahoooo.
So Glad it helped. MRT
THNK you Sir so much .
God bless you always.
I have a Centennial but no lights or start button. I tried to go backwards to the setting it was at with no luck. I stood next to it until it was off before it came into another unwanted rinse and took my throw out. Next I put a half load of whites on the hand-wash setting. It worked fine. Next I put next load back to regular/express, and it was fine. I think what started the problem is I bumped into it and caused the lid to slam down. I believe it was divine intervention because I was getting very frustrated!
It sounds like your Divine Intervention helped you out so that sounds good to me. I especially like Divine intervention.
Thank you! Second time that this has saved me! Why can't they put this information in owner's manual?
thalmanm Glad it helped you. 😃
It is.
Mark, thanks for the video and codes. Not sure what I did wrong, but after running some of the tests you suggest, the washer is in constant repeat mode. It's the same exact model as the one in this video - Maytag Centennial. If you don't raise the lid once the load is done, it will start washing it again (and run all night!). I've tried unplugging overnight, pressing and holding reset. Any help you can be would be greatly appreciated.
+revmdhenderson Hi there, have a look at this video 'What was actually going on' and the others in the play list. I think probably the main control board will need to be replaced.
m.ruclips.net/video/ucoD3ovIYiQ/видео.html&mode=NORMAL
Thanks I had a sock in my pump
many tiks!!!
What does it mean if the lights keep flashing?
My is stock at wash...no short spin or rinsing. Pump works fine...took all water out but again no wash spin or rinsing.
Have a look at the video's in this playlist. The info should help you to work out what is going on.

I hate this machine. Maytag should give everyone who bought one their money back or a big discount on another machine, because this is the worst machine ever made!!!
hahahaha
We just bought one from someone and it's such crap. Good god...
We’ve had this machine for a couple of years. I can not believe how long the wash cycles are. Is this an error or something wrong with the design of this model?
Love mine.
I quite agree. The old machine lasted more than 20 years, this one made it about 2 years. Never again.
My Whirlpool washer will not start. Shows no sign of life at all. When I tried the calibration procedure, still nothing, no lights come on. Seems like it has no power.
Is there an internal fuse that could be blown?
You don’t need to turn it like a safe just turn it one to the left three to the right then one to the left and one to the right
Was finishing up the test cycle, was going to spin, but ended up just flashing the lid locked light and now that's all it does.
Dave Smith The test cycle is there to test what works and what doesn't. So if it won't spin then that is the element to look at.
Have a look at this. It should help ruclips.net/video/783uXhdG684/видео.html
Dave Smith did you get your machine fixed. Mine is doing the same thing.
I know these replies are old but I'm hoping someone will see this and can guide me in the right direction. Does anyone have any information on what this problem was, like y'all were having, and what needs to be done to fix it? It's right here at Christmas and I don't have the extra funds to purchase a new washer or pay a repairman. I have replaced parts on my dryer before but I'm clueless about a washing machine but I'm pretty sure I could fix this myself if I knew where to start. Thanks in advance for any info.
I might have the same issue. I ran all manual tests, looked into all special resistance and continuity testjng. All i see left is a lid safety sensor failing.
Alright so don’t know if you’ll answer but seems when I try to wash my blanket. Because it’s a washer and it should be able to handle a blanket. It usually won’t drain or spin.
Sounds like it doesn’t handle the blanket. If that is the only time it does it then I would say there is an overload protecting your motor from burning out.
thank you for the tutorial! my unit stops at the rinse cycle, lid lock led starts blinking. i’ll check out your error code video next
installed lid switch but still getting switch fault error code and now the striker gets stuck. additionally there is now a pressure sensor issue where it thinks it isn’t filling. perhaps I bumped it while taking the top off? I noticed some dripping but was as careful as I could, didn’t lift past 45 degrees to ensure i wasn’t kinking hoses
diagnostic run still stops at rinse wish lid lock led blinking
That system didn't work for mine after, the lights come on they never went off. And it's completely off, all lights off.
Can you run this test without being hooked to water or will it just show an error? This is a great video, thanks.
You must be connected to water 💦
Mine must have been off because i tried and tried but my final position had to be straight up at regular. My final click put me up
Why is it just flashing sensing fill snd done , no water just flashing thanks
I want to clean my washer. What is the best way to do this?
I watched the video and exchanged the motor and its still not spinning...i dt understand what it could be please help
I have this exact washer and can not get it into diagnostic mode. My washer stopped on spin cycle and got stuck with lid locked. I eventually hit cancel and tried again and this is Where it messed up
I have a maytag commercial technology and it never spins all the water out. Help!
10/24/17 Bravos is sounds like it is agitating but not very well. 2 years old!
I've use this video a couple times but now my start button won't work. I wish I could find a video about how to fix that.
hi mark does that diagnosis will work for Mod MVWC465HW?
We just bought a new Maytag commercial tech washer and the washer won't fill up fully with a deep wash cycle. What are we missing?? Any help would be appreciated
I hate my washer I have same one
I did this exactly, and nothing happened. It's time for a new washer 😅 I guess.
Those washers are horrible I like the old school. They are too sensitive.
So not a popular machine.
yes old school is sooo much better
The lights wont come on at all it just stopped working so I'm trying to find solution would this work if no lights and not working? Before all this it kept saying sensing and latch wouldn't work most times. Would any of that cause it to stop working with no lights
Lisa Lopresto Dehart Hi there. I have a playlist of videos that should help you.
Washer repairs - Washing machine - Dishwasherruclips.net/p/PLRRErA3V0MY2uLO6NrliecBEUdoyQhLNn
Have a look here particularly at the video called “What was really going on “
And another with “lid switch” in the title.
They should help you out.
All of them have diagnostic tips in them so will be helpful.
Mark’s reviews and tutorials
I did all that but the wash would not come on after it through the test. What would that problem be?
Mine hasn't been draining with clothe in it. Doing the test now. Nothing happened on wash. Didn't do the small tear. Just made noise. Went to spin and drained fully. Now it won't click over to rinse. Stayed on spin and done and just stopped there. Peice of crap.
Mine get to spin and won't spin the water out. just unlocks and it's got water in it.
Hi Crystal, the spinning action doesn't spin the water out there is a pump, that pumps it out. Have a look at my error codes Video and see what error codes are given to you. But when this happens it is usually the pump and sometimes the controller.
ruclips.net/p/PLRRErA3V0MY2uLO6NrliecBEUdoyQhLNn
mine is in sensing how to i get it to go a way
Have you tried swiping the unit off at the power outlet for two minutes and then switching it back on?
After that watch this video for more tips m.ruclips.net/video/ucoD3ovIYiQ/видео.html
We have one just like that but the lid is completely locked and we can't get it unlocked.Is their any way to fix the problem?
Have a look at these two videos hopefully they will help you. MRT

ruclips.net/video/zWR82Q7h_Zc/видео.html
mine wont spin and i unplug it to get it off the sensing thing then plug it in try to turn to reset but just the sensing light flashes
Hi Seth, Have a look at this video here. ruclips.net/video/ucoD3ovIYiQ/видео.html
If that doesn't help then have a look through the playlist here, I cover heaps on the Maytag washers here ruclips.net/video/783uXhdG684/видео.html
This kind of machine is a problem machine. . I just fixed mine with the problem of cam gear due to shaking seriously . But, using not so long ,now it is having problem with water pump . Last night ,I did lfixed the same the video above and let it automatically fixed its error mode by itself like the above , but at the draining water out ,suddenly all lights shut down and I kept on doing it again and again , Its lights all shut down. ,that let me know the water pump got problem.
I have spent so much money on and time on ,.that made me frustrated .
Sorry to hear you have had such a bad run with your machine
I did all of this. No lights but it immediately went into drain mode. Did not spin and now won’t cut off without unplugging. What do Imdo now?
Mine stop on wash. And i dont know whats next
Mine isn't spinning you know how I would get to the problem
I have a washer that's making gray marks and stains on my clothes. I've removed the washplate and cleaned underneath but still getting gray marks, anyone have any ideas?
washer transmission is bad. throw out the washer expensive repair
It won't kick in when the spin light comes on. My issue is the it won't spin period, so does that mean it's FUBAR?
Have a look at this video. ruclips.net/video/e1ECbm_kp7E/видео.html It talks about a machine that wouldn't spin and how we fixed it.
I’ve done this in the past, but this time it will not go into diagnostic mode. What now?
Mine has been stopped now I guess when it should spin or drain? Wash rinse spin and lid locked are all on and its not moved for about 10 mins... any ideas? Tried to unplug and manual reset for 5 mins. I think there is something wrong with my spin cycle
Nevermind. It took awhile longer than yours but finally clicked on... fingers crossed 🤞 thanks!
Mark, I have this washer. I want to know if the machine will work if the hot water heater has been disconnected.
I did this and it went through all the Cycles fine so I'm still confused on why mine won't spin
CURRENTLY SAME ISSUE DID YOU EVER FIGURE IT OUT
I’m in the same stupid boat as you two
my washer runs through the whole cycle stops unlocks and starts over again any ideas? thanks
Brandon Payton , me too. exactly the same thing!
Megan Spring let me know if u figure anything out and I'll do same .
Hi there. Have a look at my video. Beyond Diagnostic mode, what was really going on.
When you get funny unpredictable stuff like you are experiencing that might give you the answer.
I figured it out after hours of research. it was somehow set in continuous mode .
Brandon Payton So Good! So glad you worked it out and Thanks for putting a comment here it will help others. 😀
Can you help, I ran the test cycle and I am stuck on wash. The machine is just sitting with the wash light on. I believe it was supposed to drain next but again its doing nothing.
Hi Toni, The test cycle is there to test what works and what doesn't. So if it won't drain then that is the element to look at.
Have a look at this video ruclips.net/video/783uXhdG684/видео.html
to see how to get the machine to give you the error codes and see if you can work it out from there.
Mark
Were you able to fix this? This is the same problem we have.
Mines stopped with lights on wash/spin/done/lid locked. What now
does this do the calibration mode as well?
willie turner I haven’t heard of calibration mode sorry. 😟
Isbthis what you do after changing out the gearbox?
I tried this today but not working on me, can somebody help me to unlock my maytag washing machine? My clothes stock already in the machine. Thank you
