Maytag Smart Washer Review-MVW6230HW

In this video, I review the Maytag Smart Washer. I am absolutely in love with this washer because of it's smart capabilities to connect with your wifi system in your household. It takes the basic art of washing clothes and makes it extremely advanced. With that being said, it also has a feature that allows it to use extra washing power to get out your toughest stains with ease. In addition, it has an agitator so it does a great job at scrubbing the clothes so that they come out from the washer cleaner than ever before!

I regret buying this machine. Wish I would have taken the negative reviews seriously. Constantly comes off balance even during medium load and almost never fills. Every single time this month I’ve had to stop the cycle because it starts washing with about one gallon of water

[rodneycurry]

Had mine just over 2 years. Seems to wash clean when the cycle is over, clothes smell good. It washes the clothes in about an inch of water. I don't get that. ? If you set the water level higher, it will rinse the load at that height. Oh what I would give for an old school washer that really cleans! And actually wash clothes in water completely submerged.

I’ve had this exact model for two years. BIG regret. This replaced a front loader that had some issues with the gasket. I wish I had chosen another front loader. This Maytag machine kills the clothes, accepts much less capacity than its large drum implies, creates a mountain of lint, gets unbalanced if you look at it the wrong way, and doesn’t wring out the water too well. As you pointed out, though, it looks nice.

I have the newer mvw7230hw with gas dryer pair.

I’ve had mine for 6 hours and can’t figure out how to get it to clean a load. It fills up for 5 seconds washes for 5 minutes, adds more water, washes some more, fills up maybe 2 more inches, washes some more for another 10 minutes. Fills up the rest of the way, which is still not over the clothes even though it’s Deep fill, extra power and on Towels heavy duty or Bulk items. Then it just swishes back and forth really lightly. The top 1-2” of each load doesn’t get washed it’s that weak!! I just performed a software update on it, then it filled for LITERALLY two seconds then started beating the clothes in a wash cycle. I powered it down and unplugged it for 7 minutes to clear the 5 minute memory refresh timing. That allowed it to return back to it’s crappy wash cycle of filling up the bottom 2-3” then washing for 10 minutes, then filling up another 2”. Apparently this is ‘smart’ sensing technology. The darn load is full. Fill the friggin
’ thing up and wash it! It’s terrible.
Terrible terrible terrible.
I video taped a little white ball of styrofoam sit on top of my comforter, which filled up only halfway to the top of the agitator, and the white ball stayed on top of the comforter the entire time. Through all cycles.
I the. Put it on Quick wash because apparently that had ‘intense agitation’. Same crap. White tiny styrofoam ball never touched water.
How did I notice this in the first place?
Our towels had ants on them probably from food from the kitchen and sitting for over a week the hamper. It had two ants in the load when I put the towels in the washer. When the load was done, those two friggin’ ants were on the top of the tub just walking around checking things out.
A spatula and a bucket does a better job than this washer. I’m 6-7 hours in to the delivery and have spent this entire time watching each load to figure it out. I will be calling firet thing in the morning to get this crap ‘fixed’. And I will call them multiple times a day until they figure this crap out. $1k/unit, installed w/3yr warranty. This thing hasn’t worked from the second it was plugged in.

The agitator literally moves one direction a few steps then back the other direction, THE EXACT AMOUNT OF STEPS. It does not tumble or pull clothes. It just moves water around! Garbagio!

Given all the negative responses from viewers regarding this particular model of washing machine, it's difficult not to conclude that Maytag/Whirlpool must have paid Helpful DIY to provide an enthusiastic and positive review.

[petermaz]

One of my friends had to get two replaced and finally the third one he's keeping, they all had issues.

[clint-bnmg]

Can you do a video showing the machine in use? I would like to see how powerful the agitator works and how much water the machine allows in.

[mariatur]

Just bought it recently. Very very noisy machine. Cheaply made. It is a belt driven motor so much noisier than the direct drive motors. Under specs they don't disclose the noise level. Would be nice if the manufacturer did. I regret getting this machine. Can't adjust water level once machine has started washing. You can pause machine and add clothes but you can't change any of the settings. My previous machine allowed me to change the water level any time during the wash. Washing cycle is extremely long. I now tend to use the quick wash cycle only to reduce washing time (I like this cycle). I wish I had bought a Speed Queen and paid the extra - they have a longer warranty period. I thought about buying extended warranty but read that people who did still had issues getting someone to come out in a reasonable period of time. So no more Maytag in the future.

[joline]

I have this washer, I’d love to know if you can press pause and open the lid to add more clothes

[DanielDaniel-gltz]

I bought the model MVW7230HC0, and my wife hasn't been happy with it. The issues she's been having are with the agitator. Pants, bed sheets, and long pieces of garments get wrapped around, and the washer walks away from its place when this happens. I wish I would had replaced it with a front load.

How do I get fabric softener to dispense

[CliffCj]

Anyones leaving stains on colored clothes like white blotches or lines/streaks? Ive used less detergent, done extra rinse and even used hot water. Any help?

[Sen.e]

No more Maytag or whirlpool product for us. After 1 year and 4 months our new Maytag washer is broken. Never again!They don’t stand with their product.

[punknhead]

MIL has this washer and seems to like it. At least better than her old one. Came to check it out because her fabric softener wasn't dispensing. I can now call and tell her she needs to enable it (each time?) I had an old Frigidaire I loved and nowhere a front load Maytag. Do not care for it one bit other than it runs. Which after 12 years my Frigidaire took it's last breath after many recesitations.

Mexico Maytag
My Mexican Maytag washing machine, made it through one cycle and then the sensor locked up and the washing machine would not drain. After one day of use, I called Lowe’s to come and pick it up. I have since purchased a Samsung washing machine. I believe it is made in Japan, I hope Japanese wash machines work better than Mexican ones

[julialovesmoney]

I hate this washer so much! I will not buy Maytag after this! It broke before it was a year old. Maytag sent an AC company to fix it bc I live in a rural area so there's no Maytag repair men out here. So anyway they said I needed a control board and wire harness. It literally took 4 months for the parts to come in. They came and supposedly changed those parts in probably 15 minutes. It worked, they left. Not 2 months later it was broke again with the same error code as the first time. Neither the AC company nor Maytag will accept responsibility and fix it. So I wasted $768 plus tax on a lemon and I'm fucking pissed! Buyer beware! This washer is a piece of shit!

[tammytran]

How do I resume the cycle after receiving error message regarding uneven load?

[mase]

I love this machine! I want it because then I can film pov's inside the washer by putting a camera in the tub without it tumbling and the camera won't break! Another reason I want it is because my grandma has the same machine and when I try to set the settings for her she doesn't let me. It is not fun for me plus I am a big fan of top load washers. I am going to buy the same one but just with a little more settings.

How do you change the inlet valve? Can’t get the instrument top off

[pearlbeachel]

Well just bought this at Lowes. Will give a review in a week or so after use. I liked the looks and the name brand. We will see.
