Top 20 Maytag NFW7200TW Front Load Washer Questions & Answers

i don't know what the guy did for you by playing with the knob but i just looked that washer up and you can't get hardly any parts for this machine,must be old,i wouldn't put any money into it because like i said you can't get the computer board or any parts anymore not even the knob lol

There could be another coin in the drain pump, jamming it. With power disconnected..........Does the pump turn by hand in both directions?

Liquid laundry soap (comes in plastic liquid container) uses the up. Dry powder laundry soap uses the soap that comes in a box, therefore not liquid. and uses the down switch slider control.

yES UP IF UR USING LIQUID DOWN IF USING POWDER

It is possible something is fouling the belt, belt wheel, drum, or motor. or fault with motor.

take back offand check pump for objects

look underneath and you may find little feet that you can unscrew

Should be okay there is nothing between basket and tub that would fall off and get in the drain pump.

Is there water in bowl? If So then check the drain pump for blockages or not running. The spin will not start if there is water in the bowl

Front loading washers are notorious for not spinning the water out of a small load of clothes. This is because there is not enough clothes in the washer to balance the tub during the spin cycle.Try washing a slightly larger load with a minimum of six items or more. This is one of the downsides to front load models and no specific brand is immune to the problem.

Special low sud detergent designed for high efeciency HE machines.

If water is not draining check for any blockages in all the outlet pipes, filter and pump. If no blockages are found then suspect the pump is not working.

I don't think you can do this on this machine.

No Fill. Check Your cold water line. Look at the washer valve.Are you on well water? Remove sediment and test washer.Odds are you will need a inlet valve.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

Following are my complete and hopefully 'coverall' pre-typed guidance notes for checking both the drain motor filter and the drain motor ;-0)
REMOVE POWER AND ENSURE YOU HAVE A WATER RECEPTACLE/RAGS TO SOAK UP THE WATER WHICH IS BOUND TO POUR OUT (alternatively use a wet vac as sensibly suggested by VinnyB1234!)
If you are unsure where the filter is, it is often behind the front lower (kick) panel (or in some machines at the rear in an awkward position!). These panels are either held on by (plasic) screws or will just pull off. Most filters are held in by a round cover/knob. Sometimes the filter will not come out with the cover and you will have to persuade it to come out to play.
It's surprising what people have found in theirs! It is always worthwhile checking it on a regular basis.
Now- whilst the filter is removed it is normally possible to see the drain motor and ensure it is not jammed by a foreign object such as a needle or a toothpick. It should be able to be turned by hand/finger- the power IS OFF!
At this point it is also possible to test if the motor works. No clothes or water in the machine, select a spin cycle and put the power back on. You should be able to see the motor turning at some point, possibly straight away. Using something suitable like a glove see if it is easy to briefly slow the motor down. If it is easy then the motor is malfunctioning.

If this has assisted you please consider a 4 thumbs up for the rating.
Thanks and good luck!

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

I would gently suggest as a first step that you clean the drain motor/pump lint tray/filter. So many 'faults' are caused by blocked filters and many machines will not even go to rinse or spin or release the door lock if there is any water still left inside.
