This video saved my in-laws from a repair bill that would have been painful - thank you! In case it helps anyone, I found that reaching under and pressing on the front of the metal clips, pushing towards the rear of the machine, worked easier for me, to get them to release the control panel. Instead of a little spring hose clamp, the hose to the pressure switch had a small zip tie, so I ended up replacing it with a 3/8" worm drive hose clamp.
Thank you so much for this video. I have almost the exact model and successfully replaced the switch with your detailed explanation and great shots. I tried not to, but lost one of the clips after-all, a yard stick swept under the machine popped it back out. Thanks again!!
That is wonderful news. Yours is the very reason I do these videos. I try very hard to show clear video shots of what I did so that when you repeat it, you won’t be surprised by anything I didn’t cover. I’m so happy you were successful. Give yourself a pat on the back and have a great weekend. Dean
Thank you for posting this! Maytag Legacy in which the water level sector switch was jammed on the small load position. Your video steered me in the right direction for disassembly and inspection. We have wear on the red plastic cam with the notches, that changes the height adjustment on the diaphragm. I was able to lube it with some petroleum jelly and get it working again. This has made the washer usable while we await arrival of the new water level switch. Thanks for the information!
Thanks Ryan. Appreciate the view and the nice comment. I never knew how a pressure switch worked myself until I opened up that old one. I hope I have earned the right to request your subscription. Hopefully, I'll have other videos you can use going forward. Cheers.
Does this also work the same on a Maytag Bravos XL model MVWB835DW1. the water won't fill at all. We checked the resistance for the water valve and it checks so we're thinking most probably the pressure switch. Thank you for any help. Ruth
@@ruthdunn8620 I can’t say for certain. Any of my followers, feel free to chime in. The pressure switch replacement would be a good inexpensive start I would think, especially if you can buy a used one.
I have a Maytag MVW6230HW1 with a F3E2 Code and I think that's the pressure sensor. Mine looks like the tube goes right into a board not a switch? Any thoughts 🤔
Thanks for the question...I'm operating in the blind here without a photo but going strictly by your description I would, in no particular order: 1: desolder the old connections, move the wires to the new switch (which I assume has solderable connections) and resolder. or...2: cut the wires up close to the older switch, trim the covers off the old wires and solder them to the new switch (given that they still reach...if not, will need to add some wire length to each). You didn't mention whether or not the replacement switch has solderable connections. If it doesn't, you'll have to attach connectors to the old wires which are receptacles for the ends on the new switch. Good luck and hope this helps.
What does reset mean below the super setting on a quiet model Maytag? I replaced the switch but it’s still filling up instead of medium or mini level? Should I reset them run a cycle?

@@bbarcadventures7757 Fantastic news. Thank you for viewing and the kind comments. Congrats on your temporary fix. Dean
Thank you so much this video helps me understand the water pressure sensor and what it does thank you so much
Thanks for viewing and the kind comments. Dean
Awesome video! I like when you explain the process of the part and how it works! Keep up the good work.

@@PilotViewProductions I did subscribe! do you know anything about error codes for a maytag centennial washer?
This video helped me replace the switch. Thank you!
Wonderful. Thanks for viewing and letting me know. Congrats!!!
God bless you sir. Have a great day! Now I need to figure out how to fix the lid sensor. It goes through the cycles with or without the lid open
Thanks for viewing Eddie. There are several videos on removal of a lid sensor. I'm hoping you've found one by now.
Does this also work the same on a Maytag Bravos XL model MVWB835DW1.

Very helpfull but my washing machine will drain out the water. Changed out waterpump and checked all hoses for kinks or cloggs. Any suggestions?
You mean drain it out as it runs in?
I have a Maytag MVW6230HW1 with a F3E2 Code and I think that's the pressure sensor. Mine looks like the tube goes right into a board not a switch? Any thoughts 🤔
I’ll ask my viewers. Anyone have thoughts?
Mine doesnt have a plastic wire connector and appears to be soldered in place. Any ideas how get the wiring out of the old and into the new?

I'm sorry, I don't know that particular model, nor the answer, but I open it up for my viewers....anyone out there have an answer?
I believe it is a Maytag Dependable Care - circa 1996ish
