Why does my Maytag MVWB835DW make a whirring sound?
The whirring sound you hear in your Maytag washer is the sound of the basket decelerating, which is normal.
Why is my Maytag Washer vibrating?
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.
What to do if my Maytag Washer is rocking?
To resolve rocking or “walking” with your Maytag Washer, make sure that its feet are making complete contact with the floor and are locked. Leveling the washer is crucial for proper operation.
Why are the wash or rinse temperatures incorrect on my Maytag MVWB835DW?
If you're experiencing incorrect wash or rinse temperatures with your Maytag Washer, make sure the hot and cold inlet hoses are not reversed. Both hoses must be attached to both the washer and faucet, ensuring hot and cold water flow to the inlet valve. Also, check that the inlet valve screens are not clogged and remove any kinks in the hoses.
