What to do if my Maytag MVWB835DW Washer is not draining or spinning properly?

  Matthew WiseNov 22, 2025
  If your Maytag Washer is not draining or spinning and your loads are still wet, it could be due to several reasons. Small items might be caught in the pump or between the basket and tub, slowing the draining process; empty pockets and use garment bags for small items to prevent this. Also, cycles with lower spin speeds remove less water; use the recommended cycle/spin speed or select DRAIN & SPIN to remove extra water. Ensure that the washer isn't too tightly packed or unbalanced. Check the plumbing for correct drain hose installation, making sure it doesn't extend too far into the standpipe or is clogged. If you're using too much detergent, it can cause excessive suds, slowing draining and spinning; use only HE detergent and follow the directions, or select RINSE & SPIN to remove extra su...

  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.

Why is my Maytag MVWB835DW Washer leaking water?
- R
  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 are there dry spots on my clothes after using my Maytag MVWB835DW?
- S
  stephensondavidSep 18, 2025
  If you notice dry spots on your load after a cycle in your Maytag Washer, it is normal. The high spin speeds combined with air flow during the final spin can cause items near the top of the load to develop dry spots.

Why is the dispenser not working correctly in my Maytag Washer?
- K
  Keith WoodsSep 16, 2025
  If you are experiencing incorrect dispenser operation with your Maytag Washer, do not overfill the dispenser, as this causes immediate dispensing. Load dispensers before starting a cycle. Small amounts of water may remain in the dispenser at the end of the cycle, which is normal. If you have low water pressure, select a warmer wash temperature if possible, depending on your load, to avoid residual powder in the dispenser. Clean the dispenser nozzle and ensure the drawer is properly seated.

Why is my Maytag Washer vibrating?

  Tracy HillSep 7, 2025
  To stop your Maytag Washer from vibrating, rocking, or “walking”, ensure the front and rear feet are in firm contact with the floor, and that the washer is level. You may need to check the floor for flexing or sagging. If the flooring is uneven, placing a ¾" (19 mm) piece of plywood under the washer can help reduce the noise and movement.
