How to Run Diagnostics and Read Error Codes on a Maytag Washer

How to run a diagnostic test and read error codes on a Maytag Centennial washing machine.

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.

Thank you so much for this! I have been looking for the key to the codes for this kind of Maytag washer and I couldn't find it anywhere 😭This is so so helpful, I can't thank you enough!

Just thought I would add information that I accidentally 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.

Don't forget you have to add those numbers up. F421=F4+2+1=F7

Thank you!! I cleared the codes and it’s working again 👌

Great video, thanks! I could not figure out how to get to or read the error codes (but the "helpful technition" was right there ready to only $27 bucks), but went to YT and found this video which was clear and to the point! THANKS AGAIN !!

[daveneeley]

Thanks for the video. All I had to do was clear codes and it worked!

Thank you so much for this video. Your presentation was very clear and concise. Super helpful. Thanks again from the bottom of my empty clothes basket.

This was great information!
My MVWC300XW1 Maytag Centennial clicks and clacks usually during the wash cycle (but sometimes when sensing actually it intermittently seems to do it in every cycle). Sometimes it senses/clacks continuously, fills/clacks continuously. goes to wash cycle/clacks continuously but its obvious the agitator isnt turning then it decides to drain and thn shows Done. I have hated this washer since day 1 when i noticed it takes forever to do a load. Now it is a pain in the a_s POS.
My codes are F7 E5, F2 E1, F7 E6 Hopefully I will find some insight as to what is wrong and how much it costs verses sucking it up and buying a new (NOT MAYTAG POS) machine.
Thanks again for the great video!!!!

HELLUVA lot better explanation than another video I've seen. Mine Now flashes ORANGE lights, not green as previous. When you say lid, it appears the control panel?

Good lord o mercy. I’d rather go outside and slap a rock with my dirty clothes

You just saved me a TON of time. Thank you so much!

[geoffhurley]

Big help. OMG why does a washer need a microcontroller that detects the suds level?!?!?!!

[JuanPtGigaWatz]

Thank you so much for this 🙏🏼 VERY helpful. And was it just me or did anyone else feel like Chris Griffin was teaching us how to work on our washer?? That voice! 😂 😉🤘🏻

[gskinner]

man what kind of decoder ring type ish is this?

[jdrs]

Sir, that pause/Play button is supposed to be mounted on top of the control panel. It’s inside, sitting wedged between the panel, and the actual button component on the logic board.

FYI how to clear error codes starts at 5:00

[MrZakkennedy]

I have these same exact error codes. What did you do to fix them?

My four year old Maytag Centennial is on my front porch. A new Speed Queen is on the way. Worst piece of garbage I have ever wasted money on. Anyone wants it,
it looks brand new and it's free. I would prefer to give it to someone I truly hate because anyone who ends up with it is gonna hate me.
