Maytag MAV7200 Top Load Washer Questions & Answers
Bypass lid switch
DON"T BYPASS it is to dangerous & can damage washer if the load gets to far out of balance on spin.
Washer has been shaking ever snice it was moved to have new floor installed.
Most likely your washer is not balanced evenly on the floor; get a level and level the washer accordingly. You can use shims to get it leveled. Also Home Depot or Lowes Home Improvement stores have something called Vibration Pads. I would take care of it before using your washer again since the shaking might cause problems to the actual washing machine.
Sometime the wash cycle stops when the spin cycle
From what you're describing it sounds like the lid switch is faulty. Open & close the lid slowly & listen carefully for the click of the lid switch. If you do not hear the lid switch, you will need to replace the lid switch. Other testing will require accessing the controls & using a meter to make some more checks with. If the motor is not running & the lid switch checks good I suspect the timer. If the motor is running in the spin cycle but the basket is not spinning I suspect the drive block, basket drive, transmission or clutch.
Excessive noise during spin cycle

There's no reset switch that I know of. This particular model has a belt driven pump with no electrical connection. Changing the timer is not going to do anything. It cost about $50 to $60 if you find it to be bad and need to replace it. You can find parts for your washer at repairclinic.com. Just type in your model number and you will be provided a pictorial parts listing. This is a bit premature, you may just have a broken drive belt. But...you have that full tub of water. If you just need to drain the tub in order to make repairs, here's a couple of suggestions that I have used:
1. If you own a small submersible pump, you can drain the tub quickly by placing the pump in the bottom of the tub and run a garden hose outside or into a deep sink (if available). Ensure you have removed all wet clothing to make sure you don't clog the pump.
2. Another method is to remove the drain line from the standpipe and use a wet/dry shop vac to pull a vacuum. This will work if the pump isn't lodged with anything. This method is going to be slower if you don't have a vacuum of large capacity. These wash tubs generally hold about 35 gallons of water. So...if you have a 10 gallon capacity shop vac, you may have to empty it 3 or 4 times before you get all the water out. If the pump is clogged, you can still drain directly from the tub.
If you don't own either, I would recommend that you obtain one or the other somehow. Unless, you wish to try to bail all that water by hand. You will need to empty the washer of all this weight in order to check the drive belt as most Maytags have their drive belts system UNDER the washer. I wouldn't try tipping the washer back with a full tub of water. I hope this helps you. Post back with comments if you need further assistance.
Loud noise -- water pump??
Yes you definately need a new pump assembly part number 21001906 $59.95. That is a maytag part number and it is a very common repair. The new pump is a revised design and will look different but will mount the same. Axcess through front panel.
Fix for error code E02F06 on Maytag mhw7000xw front load washer
I found this reference on the web ... from a repair technician on a Maytag Maxima>>>
So I'm really sorry to bring you this bad news, but let me explain your error codes. F06 E02 is a communication error between your MCU (motor control unit) and your CCU (central control unit). You'll want to remove the top panel, the control panel, and then the front panel of the washer and make sure the wire connections to the motor control unit below the tub are all secure. If everything checks good, you'd need to have the MCU replaced.
From a different reference on a similar Maytag MHW6000XW2 ... also indicating communication issue
Usually ... hidden somewhere on the inside of the washer you will find the service technician paperwork which has all sorts of additional detail.
Helpful?
Good luck on your troubleshooting!
Maytag top loading washer with UL code
Leveling: Ensure the washer is properly leveled. An unbalanced load can trigger the UL (unbalanced load) code. Use a level to check if the machine is sitting evenly on the floor.
Load Distribution: Make sure the clothes are evenly distributed in the drum. An imbalanced load can cause the UL code to appear.
Calibration: Some models have a calibration mode that can be accessed through the control panel. Running a calibration cycle might help the washer to detect load balance more accurately.
Electronics: There could be an issue with the control board or wiring harness. Inspect these components for any visible damage or loose connections.
Professional Service: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it may be time to consult with a professional appliance repair technician who can diagnose and fix the problem more accurately. They may have specialized tools and knowledge to pinpoint the exact cause of the UL code.
