Do you have a question about the Maytag Commercial MVWP575GW and is the answer not in the manual?

This document is a user and care guide for a Maytag Commercial Top-Loading Washer, also referred to as a "Laveuse à chargement par le dessus" in French.

Function Description:

The Maytag Commercial Top-Loading Washer is designed for washing clothes. It operates by filling with water, agitating the clothes with a central agitator, and then spinning to extract water. The washer offers various wash cycles and temperature settings to accommodate different fabric types and soil levels. It is designed for household use, providing a range of options for efficient and effective laundry care.

Important Technical Specifications:

The washer's operation is controlled by a series of buttons and a cycle knob.

Wash Cycle Knob: Used to select the desired wash cycle. The knob does not advance during the program; the cycle starts at the lightest soil level and progresses to the heaviest.
Temperature Settings: Options include Hot, Warm, Cool, and Cold, with additional "Tap Cold" for cold water directly from the tap. These settings influence the water temperature during the wash and rinse phases.
Start/Pause Button: Initiates or pauses a wash cycle. Pressing and holding for 3 seconds unlocks the lid.
Cycle Status Lights: Indicators for Fill, Wash, Rinse, Final Spin, Done, and Locked, showing the current stage of the wash cycle. These lights may blink or pause to indicate different operational states.
Options: Includes Presoak and Extra Rinse, which can be selected to enhance the wash cycle.
Water Levels: The washer automatically senses the load size and adjusts the water level accordingly. For optimal performance, it is recommended to load clothes loosely.
Detergent Type: Designed for use with High Efficiency (HE) detergents. Using non-HE detergents can lead to oversudsing and poor performance.
Electrical Requirements: Plugs into a grounded 3-prong outlet. It is crucial not to remove the ground prong or use an adapter or extension cord, as this can lead to electrical shock.
Water Supply: Requires both hot and cold water connections. The inlet hoses should be checked and replaced every 5 years to prevent leaks.
Dimensions: While specific dimensions are not provided, the illustrations show a standard top-loading washer size.

Usage Features:

Sorting and Preparing Laundry: Before washing, clothes should be sorted by fabric type, color, and soil level. Empty pockets, close zippers, and remove loose items. Delicate items should be placed in mesh bags. Heavily soiled items should be pre-treated.
Adding Laundry Products:
- Detergent: Measured liquid or powder HE detergent should be added to the basket before loading clothes. For best results, use Oxi-type boosters, color-safe bleach, or fabric softener at the bottom of the washer basket before adding clothes.
- Liquid Chlorine Bleach: Measured liquid chlorine bleach (up to 1 cup or 236 mL) should be added to the dispenser. Do not overfill.
- Liquid Fabric Softener: Measured liquid fabric softener should be added to the dispenser. Do not overfill, and dilute with water if necessary.
Loading Laundry: Clothes should be loaded loosely and evenly around the agitator. Do not pack tightly or force items into the washer. For optimal performance, load dry items.
Selecting a Cycle: The wash cycle knob allows selection from various cycles like Mixed, Cottons/Linens, Rinse & Spin, Drain & Spin, Bulky/Towels, PowerWash®, and Delicates. Each cycle is designed for specific fabric types and soil levels, with predefined wash temperatures and spin speeds.
Selecting Temperature: Choose the appropriate water temperature (Hot, Warm, Cool, Cold, Tap Cold) based on the fabric care label and soil level. Hot water is for whites and pastels, warm for bright colors, and cool/cold for dark or fade-prone fabrics.
Selecting Options: Presoak adds an extra soak period to the wash cycle, useful for heavily soiled items. Extra Rinse adds an additional rinse to ensure thorough removal of detergent.
Starting a Wash Cycle: Press the START/PAUSE button to begin the cycle. The lid will lock, and the cycle status lights will indicate the progression. If the lid is opened for more than 10 minutes, the water will pump out automatically.

Maintenance Features:

Washer Inlet Hoses: Replace inlet hoses every 5 years to reduce the risk of hose failure.
Cleaning the Washer:
- Exterior: Wipe with a soft, damp cloth or sponge.
- Interior: Run a "Clean Washer" cycle monthly using a recommended washer cleaner or liquid chlorine bleach. This helps prevent odor buildup and maintain optimal performance.
- Dispenser Drawers: Clean regularly to prevent buildup of detergent and fabric softener residue.
- Fabric Softener Dispenser: Clean periodically to ensure proper distribution.
Winter Storage: If the washer is to be stored in an unheated area or moved, it must be winterized to prevent damage from freezing. This involves shutting off water, disconnecting hoses, and draining any remaining water from the washer.
Transporting Your Washer: Before moving the washer, follow specific instructions to disconnect water, drain hoses, and secure components to prevent damage.
Troubleshooting: The guide provides a comprehensive troubleshooting section for common issues such as vibration, noise, water leaks, washer not performing as expected (e.g., not spinning, not cleaning well, not rinsing), and dispenser problems. Solutions range from checking connections and settings to performing specific cleaning or maintenance tasks.
Assistance or Service: Contact information for customer service is provided for both the USA and Canada, including phone numbers and website addresses for product help, parts, and accessories.

The washer is designed for ease of use and maintenance, with clear instructions to ensure longevity and optimal performance. The emphasis on using HE detergent and proper loading techniques is critical for achieving the best washing results and preventing issues.
