What to do if my Maytag MVWB835DW Washer is leaking water?
- N
  Natalie HolmesAug 22, 2025
  If your Maytag washer is leaking water, several factors could be responsible. Ensure the washer is level, as water may splash if it is not. Check that the fill hoses are tightly connected and that all four fill hose flat washers are properly seated. Also, verify the drain hose connection and make sure it is properly secured to the drainpipe or laundry tub. Inspect household plumbing for leaks or clogs and avoid placing tape over the drain opening. Unbalanced loading can also cause leaks.

  If your Maytag Washer won’t run or fill, check the power cord is plugged into a grounded 3-prong outlet and avoid using an extension cord. Ensure there is power to the outlet. Reset a tripped circuit breaker or replace any blown fuses. If problems continue, contact an electrician.

  Rachel KnightAug 27, 2025
  If you notice water leaks from your Maytag Washer, it could be due to the washer not being level, causing water to splash. Make sure that the fill hoses are tightly connected and that all four fill hose flat washers are properly seated. Also, check the drain hose connection and ensure it is properly secured to the drainpipe or laundry tub, without any tape over the drain opening. Inspect household plumbing for leaks or clogs in the sink or drainpipe. Unbalanced loading can also cause leaks, so refer to the 'Using Your Washer' section for correct loading instructions.

Why is my Maytag Washer vibrating or off-balance?
- E
  Elizabeth ShepherdAug 27, 2025
  Your Maytag washer might be vibrating or off-balance due to several reasons. The feet may not be in contact with the floor or locked; ensure the front and rear feet are firmly touching the floor and that the washer is level. An unbalanced load can also cause this issue; load items in loose heaps evenly around the washplate, and avoid adding wet items or extra water. Also, check if the floor is flexing or sagging; if so, place a 3/4" (19 mm) piece of plywood under the washer.

Why is my Maytag MVWB835DW Washer making clicking or metallic noises?
- B
  Brett WernerAug 28, 2025
  If you hear clicking or metallic noises from your Maytag Washer, objects may be caught in the washer drain system. Empty pockets before washing, as loose items like coins could fall between the basket and tub or block the pump. It may be necessary to call for service to remove the items. It is also normal to hear metal items on clothing, such as metal snaps, buckles, or zippers, touch against the stainless steel basket.

Why is my Maytag MVWB835DW Washer not cleaning or removing stains properly?
- F
  fgarrisonAug 30, 2025
  If your Maytag Washer is not cleaning or removing stains effectively, it may be because the washer senses the load size and adds the correct amount of water, which may not fully cover the wash load. Avoid adding more water, as this can lift the laundry off the washplate and reduce cleaning effectiveness. Ensure the washer is not loaded too tightly and add detergent, Oxi products, and color-safe bleach to the bottom of the basket before adding the load items. Wash like colors together and promptly remove them after the cycle to prevent dye transfer. Ensure you are using HE detergent and the correct cycle for the fabric type.

Why is my Maytag Washer not performing as expected?
- D
  Denise MooreAug 31, 2025
  If your Maytag washer isn't performing as expected, several factors could be the cause. It is normal for the load not to be completely covered in water due to the HE low-water operation. Ensure both hoses are attached and have water flowing to the inlet valve and that both hot and cold water faucets are turned on. Check for any kinks in the inlet hoses or clogs in the inlet valve screens. Make sure you are using HE detergent and not using too much of it. Also, the lid must be closed for the washer to run, and the washer will pause during certain phases of the cycle.

  A gurgling or humming sound in your Maytag washer is normal when the washer is draining water. The pump makes a continuous humming sound with periodic gurgling or surging as final amounts of water are removed during the spin/drain cycles.

  The humming sound you hear in your Maytag washer may be due to load sensing. It is normal to hear the hum of the sensing spins after you have started the washer.
