I have a Maytag bravos xl Washer model # mvwb835dw2. It’s just a little over 1 year old. Problem I’m having is that it’s filling too full and floating clothes up off agitator. What senses water level in this model?

    Any ideas? What actually senses load size and water level on this model? It fills normally with no clothes in it, but puts way too much water with clothes in it.

SOURCE: Black mark on clothes after washed in Maytag top load washer.

Check and make sure the seal at the bottom of the washer is not wore out. Alot of times you will get grease from the bearins and drum assembly if this wears out.

SOURCE: maytag washer not agitating and not spinning fully

Pr obably a coupling between the motor and gear box, Take motor off and coupling will come out, re place it and it should be fine

SOURCE: old model rca washer machine...will not agitate/wash the clothes,does spin.

If the washer fills up with water and you hear the motor running but the agitator doesn’t move, the agitator coupling is the most likely problem. First pump the water out by turning the timer to spin. Once the water is out, turn the washer off. Now pull up on the agitator until it comes off (it may be hard to pull off). Now that the agitator is off, you can see the agitator coupling, reach down and try to turn the coupling. If the coupling turns freely, it is striped out and needs to be replaced.

SOURCE: doesnt agitate or spin.

Mine is 1 1/2 years old and this worked for me

unplug from power for at least 30 seconds

turn the dial to spin but don't pull out

plug back in to power and open and shut completely so switch is engaged solidly 11 times in 15 seconds.

pull out knob to turn on

This should clear a error code.

hope it helps!

Maytag washer Bravo Xl will not fill with water. It will then go into a LF code. I know LF means low fill but I don,tknow how fix this problem

I have a Maytag Bravos washer and it had got progressively worse with LF code often having to restart several times. Checked every thing then bought a new inlet valve assembly from McComb supply. Replaced it and it works good. Note: wires were soldered on tabs.

Maytag Bravos XL HE Leaks Adjacent to Bleach Dispenser, how do I fix this?

Fill it with water by hand and see what happens. Tape paper towels in the suspected area. Makes it easier to see. Part 2 ans: so the water is over powering the drain...that sucks. You are right, the valve is probably letting too much water out. I don't know if it is adjustable but I do know it'll probably cost a lot for an itty-bitty brass valve. If money is not a problem replace the valve. If you are a DIY'er, I'd try to use some sort of clamp on the hose leading into the dispenser and close it just enough to slow the flow down. Another idea is to open the drain up by cutting away some of the screen if it has one. A better source than me is to go to repairclinic.com and email them. They have a lot more experience than me. I did appliance repair as a side to handyman for 20 years & fixed just about everything for 50. I never had any formal training.

Maytag Bravos XL roars like a plane

Why is maytag not doing something about this issue. I'm having the same issue with a 2 1/2 year old washer. I'm not going to fix it or buy another maytag. I'm going fisher paykel. My last one lasted 22 years.

Maytag bravos washer- bleach compartment wont drain during wash cycle

The solenoid that turns on to dispense the bleach is bad, or you have a clogged tube that goes from bleach dispenser to tub.
