20 Most Recent Maytag EPIC MFW9700S Front Load Washer - Page 4 Questions & Answers

Are you getting the proper voltage from the outlet to the machine i.e. 120 or 240? If so, then next step would be to check if the power is actually going though the filter to the control board (its a little box on the top side of most machines). After the filter is the controls AND drain pump. If you can check all that stuff (removing the top, and being CAREFUL while testing power) might get to fixing something today ^_^

Did this problem recently start is the model number I am reading correct MFW9700 front loaders are hard to unbalance due to the fact the control will stop the spin and reverse direction in an effort to redistribute the load on a concrete floor which is smooth the high RPM's in spin will cause it to walk I have seen more broken counter weights than a broken shock this will definitely cause it to shake like crazy again my thought process is that the machine has previously worked in the same location

u can go on line to appliancepartspro.com and get the item but it is not going to be cheap.

Thanks jworley60!!! Saved me a service call. I have a 9700 with the same issues and that filter had many interesting things in it (including four 1 dollar bills and one of those 3-in-1 washing sheets). One note, the panel is on the front and the screws are at the very bottom of the washer. If you do not have it on a pedastal, you may need to block it up a little to get to the one in the middle.
