Why is my Maytag MVWC555DW not draining or spinning properly?

  Vernon MasonAug 17, 2025
  To prevent the Maytag Washer from not draining or spinning, make sure to empty pockets and use garment bags for small items. Using cycles with lower spin speeds removes less water than cycles with high spin speeds, so use the recommended cycle/spin speed for your garment. If needed, rearrange the load for even distribution and select DRAIN & SPIN to remove excess water. Ensure the drain hose is properly installed and not extending too far into the standpipe. Also, use only HE detergent, measuring it according to the load size, to avoid excessive suds.

Why is my Maytag MVWC555DW not cleaning or removing stains effectively?

  Robert BartonAug 19, 2025
  To ensure proper cleaning and stain removal with your Maytag Washer, load garments loosely around the washplate and only with dry items. Add detergent, oxi products, and color-safe bleach to the bottom of the basket before adding clothes. Wash like colors together and promptly remove them after the cycle. Use only HE detergent, measuring it correctly, and select the appropriate cycle for the fabric type, considering a higher soil level and warmer wash temperature if needed. Load the dispenser before starting a cycle, and do not add products directly onto the load.

What to do if the lid locked light is flashing on my Maytag MVWC555DW?

  Melissa WagnerAug 22, 2025
  If the lid locked light is flashing on your Maytag Washer, ensure that the lid is completely closed, as the washer will not start or fill with the lid open. If a cycle was stopped or paused, the lid will not unlock until the basket has stopped spinning, which may take several minutes, especially with large loads or heavy fabrics.

  Lisa RamseyAug 26, 2025
  To ensure your Maytag Washer performs correctly, make sure both hot and cold water hoses are properly attached to the inlet valve and that both faucets are turned on. Check the inlet valve screens for any clogs and inspect the inlet hoses for kinks that might restrict water flow. Plug the power cord into a grounded 3-prong outlet, avoiding the use of extension cords, and ensure the outlet has power. Also, make sure the lid is closed for the washer to run. Note that the washer will pause during certain phases, and do not add more than 1 or 2 additional items after the cycle has started. Use only HE detergent to avoid excessive suds.

  Robert NormanAug 28, 2025
  To prevent tangling in your Maytag Washer, load garments in loose heaps evenly around the washplate. Mixing types of load items can also help. Use the recommended cycle for the garments being washed, selecting one with a slower wash action and spin speed, though note that items may be wetter than those using a higher speed spin.

  To avoid fabric damage in your Maytag Washer, empty pockets, zip zippers, and snap or hook fasteners before washing. Tie all strings and straps, and mend any rips or broken threads. Load garments loosely and use the appropriate cycle for the fabric. Do not pour liquid chlorine bleach directly onto the load and avoid using more bleach than recommended. Also, do not place items on top of the bleach dispenser.
