Hello, we are a 68 and 70 year old couple who wants to thank you so much for taking the time to make this most helpful video.... we have had our Maytag Commercial Washer Model #MVWB765FWO for abt 4 years bought in 2017...we were having the very same problem as you were, so first thing we came to Youtube to see if anyone had any videos about our model washer to see if anyone else had the same problem and what they did. We found your video and though a different model # the washers were very similar...so we sat down and watched everything you did oh, gosh it was so easy to follow along ....our top was a little bit harder because the spring you were supposed to push on with the table knife was way far back....we finally got it though. we bought and downloaded the service manual ....and you demonstrating the getting it into service mode and out of the mode to test was so we ordered our part and it got here really fast...we watched the video again (we're old):) before we started, then started in today.... Oh man it's all fixed and washing a load as I type.... the hot water was what was broken on ours....whew ! We know if it had not been for this video, we could not have fixed it ourselves and it would have cost us a lot of money to call a repairman....then we would have had to wait till he had an opening, while my dirty clothes pilled up, till we had to go to a laundry mat...Then sometimes they have to order the part. Thank you for thinking to, and taking the time to put this video on here.... It Helped us so much . A Grandpa and Grandma in Kentucky

I just used this video to save lots of $$$ in repair bills. After getting the LF shut down in the middle of the wash cycle, I went looking for answers. The video is AWESOME. I installed the new water valve yesterday and this crappy washing machine is back in action for $30 from Amazon.

If you are still around on YouTube. I just wanna thank you for this video. Fixed up my washer. Literally was about to buy a new one. Again I thank you!

Holy potatoes, this is the washer I just inherited with my new house and and this is EXACTLY what is happening with it. Because your instructions were so clear, I was able to test the washer without taking anything apart and it is indeed the #2 hot valve. Wish me luck!

Found this while waiting for service people to return our calls - I ordered the part as suggested here and 30 minutes of labor - we are back in business!! thanks very much for your assistance on fixing our relatively new (5 years) Maytag washer for under $40.

Hey, thanks for posting. I tried your fix and it worked like a charm! Saved me an expensive visit from the Maytag guy.

[taramaupin]

This video was helpful! I followed it exactly and had ZERO issues repairing my washer. Saved me a huge service repair cost and I feel like I can conquer the world after fixing something myself! ☺️. I appreciate it so much!

[mysurrender]

Very clear and concise instructions made this fix a breeze. 1/2 hour tops, start to finish. I think the test procedure explained was the most useful as I didn’t want to remove the top to get the technician manual. Thanks again!

[deborahvallin]

I remember that technician, too. Poor guy. With your help, I was able to fix it myself. Thank you so much!!!

Just had a scam repairman quote me $700 for a new control board when I called about a long fill error code. Told him I had to do more research. Found your video, and was able to self diagnose that the hot valve was faulty not the entire control board. Now got a part on the way from Amazon. Thanks you saved me a bunch of cash

[KinkyKinkaid]

Thank you thank you!! When I popped the top control panel off (thank you for the butter knife trick) I noticed one of the solenoids was cracked. Low and behold after doing the test in your video it was the same one that was messed up! Ordered the part - got here in a day and now I have a working washer again! Thanks for taking the time to make this video!

Thank you so much for taking the time to post this very helpful video. The way you explained are very clear, especially the steps how to pry the panel up. I could not fix the hot water problem without your video. Thank you again, Mr. Rose.

Thanks for the super useful diagnostics info! I have almost the same model and am already having one or more issues. It had some intermittent leaking down the back below the water valve body. Then is started taking about an hour to fill up. I replaced the water valve yesterday, finally. It did one successful load all the way through. Next load, buzzing from the water valve area, and stopping the cycle with 30 minutes left. Did a drain and spin to take the clothes out. That worked. Fast forward to today - I found this video and ran the tests. I actually started running all of them, and once I reached test no. 50 or 51, it goes through ALL of the water valves, all of the motor tests and drain tests. Pretty cool! Just a tip to pass along. All of the tests passed, btw. Then, I ran a test load, and the soap tray was out. Also, not many clothes. It made it all the way through fine! My wife tried a legit load after that, and it errored out midway again, this time throwing an "LF" code on the lcd. That code in itself is another can of worms. Did we all get so unlucky on this particular maytag or is quality dropping in general?

Thank you, for taking the time and having the compassion to share this demonstration!
May GOD BLESS you!

Thank you Sir! Even though our washer is under warranty, repair was scheduled 8 days away. Previous experience tells me that even then they will probably have to order the part and additional days. Thank you for the helpful video, much appreciated!

[marlamorgan]

Thank you so much for this video! This was so incredibly helpful. Husband fixed the washer and we only paid $35 for the part. Can't thank you enough!

[sabrinakivler]

Thank you SO much for this step by step video. This was what was wrong with my Maytag washer as well. My husband isn’t much of a fix it man so with your help, I was able to do it myself!

[peggyedwards]

I love the special tool. I went out and paid over $100 to purchase one. Knowing modern appliances I know I will get years of use. Also, great for spreading stuff on bread. Thanks!😆

Hi there!

I just wanted to say thank you. My Maytag bravo XL was also giving me the the same LF error. At one point, I was considering throwing away my washer and purchasing a new one until I found your video. I went on Amazon and found the water inlet valve piece and I made sure that it was compatible with my Maytag. I ordered it and Hallelujah the piece came in the mail… I showed my brother your video and he was able to successfully install the device. As soon as he confirmed the piece was switched .. I tested the washer and it now works properly. Before the flow of cold water was very low and it would cause my washer to shut down. I just want to say thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Coming from a single mom of 3, I greatly appreciate you and my brother (since he completed the physical labor for free lol). God bless you.
