YOU ARE A LIFESAVER!!!! SINGLE MOM HERE, AND WAS ABLE TO FIX THIS BY MYSELF!!!!!
I am glad that my video was helpful to you thanks for watching👍🏻👍🏻💯💯
Thank you for this outstanding detailed video. My husband and I watched the video and were able to fix it with a $60 part. My husband was ready to go and buy a new washing machine until we found this video.
A new actuator fixed my washing machine, thank you!!!
I was having similar problem except when I did the manual check as you showed I wasn't able to get each step to work the same.
I took the actuator off and it had a floppy/loose arm and so I decided to replace it as you showed and sure enough it fixed it.
Anyone who is concerned they might need to replace the drum hub instead of the actuator, just take the actuator off and replace it if it's got a loose arm.
Thanks so much for your in depth review, it made replacing the actuator so easy. Washing machine back up and running for $60. Very thankful!!
Bruh! you actually showed what it was doing where others fail to do that. It's exactly what ours is doing. Wish I watched your video first instead of the others and spent money on the parts they said would fix it and didn't... almost ready to drop on another new washer but you saved us a good 600-700 bucks !! thank you- thank you!!
Very good camera action and explanation!! Thank you!!!!
Thank you! This washer has been driving me insane! That fixed the issue and it now works like new!
You’re welcome thanks for watching my video👍🏻👍🏻💯💯
I'm happy to say I'm successfully washing a load of laundry at this moment. Easy fix. Thank you!
Happy to help! Glad My Video Helped You Out! Thank You For Watching!
THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!
Thank you! Perfect (and easy) fix!!
My man...thanks! I watched a bunch of videos trying to nail down my issue, so many were showing "almost" what mine was doing, but yours showed EXACTLY what mine was doing-the basket and agitator were just clicking back and forth together. It had been quite a while since I had observed what should be happening-the basket moving slightly in one direction, and the agitator rotating aggressively and far in the other direction, so until I saw your calibration at the end, I had forgotten what that action was supposed to look like. Aha! moment. I ordered an actuator for $28, total repair time was under 10 min. Did the calibration, working like new. Thanks again!
Lol love this comment. I’m in same boat.
You're the man, thanks for your help!
Where did you buy if from?
Thanks for your video that helps alot ready fixed thanks God bless you for share your knowledge with others

Excellent video!
Thank you! This is exactly what mine is doing.
Glad My Video Helped! Thanks for Watching!
I just purchased a Maytag top loader 6 months ago. My clothes from day 1 come out crusty and not clean. I changed wash cycles and even purchased washing jacks. My 3 year olds clothes come out dirty. I’m at a loss at this point. The washing machine in my old apartment which was coin operated and shared with 16 other unites worked better then my current owned washer
Same! My old Whirlpool cleaned my clothes better than this Maytag. I wish I had never bought it and just fixed my old Whirlpool instead. The fact that it doesn't fill up the basin with enough water is ruining my clothes and sheets AND not cleaning them! What a rip off.
Thank u , I did a different system reset & it went thru everything showing it was ok but still didn't wash right ,gonna try ur method tonight ,thank u sir
Good advice to help ck before trying to remove motherboard
I’m under warranty and having same issue. You definitely told me how to diagnose it and fix it but now I also know what to tell them on the service call so they come with the correct part.
just fix it yourself!I just did its so easy
Have to thank you. I repaired my maytag easily with your video. Now it works great.
You’re welcome thanks for watching my video👍🏻👍🏻💯💯
Thank you
Muchas gracias por tu video. Bendiciones. Me va a ayudar mucho
Me Alegra Saber que Mi Video Lo Ayuda, Gracias Por el Apoyo!
Awesome thanks! Just helped me fix my washer
You're welcome! Thanks for Watching My Video!
So i the washer worked for a little while,now its back to the agitator not working again.. any trouble shooting tips for this?
Man! I bought one of these used about a year ago and it was 4 years old and it was doing the same thing. I wish I would have known I could have easily fixed it. However, I have an LG now and it works much much better than those Naytags do anyway. I got the LG for free and it needed a repair but I did it myself and saved a bunch of money and it works like a brand new one
Smart. I will NEVER purchase Maytag or Whirlpool again. LG or Samsung only from here on out.
same here, got a lg for free, repaired it and love it
Thank you!!
Welcome!
You are a lifesaver! I tried the agitator first, no luck. Wish I had seen this first. So simple!
Thank you so much this video and your expertise, my washer is doing exactly what you show. I ran the diagnostics and sure enough, the agitator is not moving but the whole drum is, getting ready to order the actuator. Thank you again, saved my husband from getting me a new washer, lol.
You’re welcome thanks for watching my video👍🏻👍🏻💯💯
Update: I just did the repair and my washer is working great. Oh by the way, I actually did the repair myself, hubby just helped move the washer, easy fix. Thanks again.
@@marceladebano9073 you’re welcome I’m happy to hear that you were able to do this repair with a little bit of help of my video 💯💯💯👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you for sharing and helping us.
I absolutely hate this washer even though this is a somewhat easy fix I am on my third actuator, ridiculous. And my washers in a very tight spot to pull out and get underneath. Currently it spins and does everything else correctly but the agitator does not move it just barely clicks left to right.
And I am super careful to not overload this thing doesn't seem to matter
Dude..thanks
Thank You for video
My machine when it goes to drain/spin
Just flashing spin
Liked and subscribed 😀
Jccook I'm right there with you it's a piece of scrap metal
Thanks great video. Did have trouble getting to doing test I’m sure it was me . Thanks again
Good job...The rust in that house though, they need to get rid of that humidity asap...
Everyone that watches this and fixes their own washer should send you 20 bucks
Including you
Thanks for sharing this video. I done this test but my drum or agitator does not move on wash or spin cycle. Do you know what that problem could be? Drive hub? I’ve changed it out 4 times. The washer goes through all cycles but the drum and agitator don’t move. Thank you for your help.
Yeah, we have a Maytag bravos XL. It sucks to. I’m just wondering do they make an extension for the agitator so that way it will actually agitate the clothes that seems to be the problem. They made it large capacity but they should’ve left the agitator tall and wondering if you can use an old agitator on the newer appliance
Where would you order an actuator for a maytag bravos?
I have the maytag bravos washer and its not finishing washing the clothes. Its stuck on the spin cycle. worked great all the way to the spin cycle and seems to have gotten stuck.
I watched some other videos about coins stuck under the wash plate stopping it from agitating. I thought it could be that, but taking the wash plate off is kicking my butt. I can't even get the bolt off. My machine is doing the same thing as the one in the video so I think I'll just try the actuator.
Is the arm on the actuator suppose to move freely like that on your video? Because the one i removed from mine doesn't move at all. Is my actuator motor frozen? Great video lots of information
This looks similar to the problem I'm having. Without using the test codes, I just turned it on with no clothes and the agitator spun really fast and the machine shut down. Could this be a symptom of the actuator also?
great video. I'm going to replace the actuator because it will not agitate during our wash but will spin. However during the tests, the washer would not spin in test mode at all, could it be something other than the actuator? Like I said it spins fine during a wash just not during a test mode, I attempted it 5 times to make sure it wasn't user error
I had the exact same problem. Replaced the actuator for $60 and trying a test load now
My Maytag Bravos XL mvwb950ywo does this same thing but it's nit belt driven so i don't think it has an actuator? what part do i need?
Warren I am a servicer in Canada for many years... You don't have to go through all the tests. one at a time. You can go directly to the code to do the exact test that you desire!
how do you do this
how?
👍 thanks for telling us how🙃🙃
You've got to tell us how to do this now you know that right
If you push down the clothing basket and reach above it towards the front of the washer you will feel a sealed pouch stuck to the front of the washing machine. It helps if you can get another person to push the tank down while you gain access into the sealed pouch. Once you have the tech notes out of the pouch you can look up on the page with manual tests to select which test you wish the machine to do.
That process would it work for a type 580 brovo
I just acquired a washer like this. And it seems to me that it's not agitating correctly. It doesn't seem to pull down clothing while agitating. Should drum move also?
I found that my actuator was out the linkage that it was suppose to be attached to. hooked it back in and away we go
Is there any way to make the agitation stronger? While my agitator works as shown in the picture, the motion isn't strong enough to get anything that's actually dirty, clean. Between the fact that the water barely covers the clothes and the agitation is so weak (just kind of swishes the clothes back and forth) this washer is a real failure.
Thank you for the video! it was definitely very helpful. I have model mvwx655dw1 and my washer not spinning clothes dry enough, any suggestion how to fix it?
Was you able to get yours fixed? Mine is doing the same thing
Having that same issue :-(
Thank you so much for posting this. Where can you get the part? I changed the drive hub let, but that’s not it )0:
I have this same washer. In rinse and spin mode the Agitator will spin but the drum won’t what should I do? Any tips?
Does an F15 code often have to do with the control board? Replaced agitator and now no water will come in, right after replacing agitator it was. 2 loads later nada.
I have the MVWX655DW1 model , the actuator on the link description would work ? - could you link me the correct one please.
Great video could this solve when the agitating movement is very very slow????
When it goes to spin is fast??
Help ! I did everything but the step where it drains I didn’t feel or hear anything is it supposed to make noise while draining
Is that part compatible for a Maytag MVWB835DW0 washer???
I've tried a few different options of fixes, but I can't get mine to do the lights on the panel. It just stops mid-wash and I can't seem to reset it. Could it have blown a fuse perhaps?
Have you ever seen a case where the shift actuator works backwards? It agitated when it is supposed to spin and spins when it’s supposed to agitate?
A few times I have that issue and it’s confusing because it can be the actuator or the gear case (transmission) in my case it was the actuator
I have the same washer machine, same model. After cycle spinning end, I don’t see the water, but clothes are wet. Do you think that I should replace the actuator?
Great video!!! Quick question: what is the best indicator that the actuator is the problem versus the wash hub? In your video when the agitator was not moving as it should, is exactly what my agitator looked like when the machine had only made it partially through a load. Tried canceling the load and I almost never was able to get the lid to unlock. Disassembled and pulled out the wash hub and yes the plastic splines on the hub do look a little worn, but I never heard them slipping out grinding. Reassembled for testing and the agitator seem to be functioning properly and I was unable to manually stop the agitator from turning. Thanks so much in advance, for your time!!!!!!
Normally indication of hub nut worn out is that wash plate won't spin whilst agitating
@@Hobbyscrapperaustralia I appreciate the reply, but my wife and I have since reverted back to a set of 2001 Whirlpools, of which we are exceedingly happy with. Still have the other set and am looking to get rid of them. Still having the same issues as before, but I have had the wash plate, completely disassembled and all was fine with it. Every indication was pointing towards a main board failure. These machines were manufactured in 2018. The stuff they make today is just pure garbage and not built to last. Let me reiterate, we love our new-to-us whirlpools! 😁👍🏻 Thanks again!
@@addie750 if it's a direct drive motor could also be a faulty hall sensor not sensing at what stage of the cycle the machine is in
@@Hobbyscrapperaustralia i’ll have to look into that. Thank you for the information, it is much appreciated.👍🏻
Is it normal for the washer to have just clothes sitting on top not even getting washed. Literally have pulled shirts out from cycle with scent boosters still on top completely dry. It seems the agitation is way too weak to do a load
Is not normal when they do that you probably have a bad agitator or a bad actuator…
It does agitate only at the very bottom it doesn’t turn the clothes over or pull them down. When you have a taller agitator it pulls down from the top cleaning the
do you have a video of this machine to replace the shaft and bearings and seals.?mvwx655dw1 HELP
DO NOT BUY this washer. Me and my brother have this same washer (and dryer set). We both realized that the washer does not finish cycles. The clothes are soaked or it keeps going to rinse and filling up with water over and over and over which makes a huge water bill. DO NOT GET THIS WASHER!
I have this washer and love it! The only time mine does as you described is when the load is unbalanced.
You are 100% correct buddy because I’m having this problem right now
@@mistercleaton5951 hate to tell you this but he can't be 100% correct because my washer doesn't do it. As a matter of fact I just took a load out and put a new one in and did not have soaking wet clothes. My guess it is operator error on both of your parts!
This washer is junk. As an appliance service technician I work on them a lot. I have replaced many actuators and what people think is an overbalanced load is due to the very weak and cheap suspension system. I keep my van stocked with suspension kits, actuators and hub kits.
@@clydesmith9524 Thanks for the 🚨Warning🚨!👍😃👍Please recommend a far better older top load washer that has no agitator like this one. I wash large blankets and sleeping bags sometimes. Don't want a side load. I plan to buy a cheap used washer that has not seen heavy use. I have a junk Frigidaire Affinity now that is about 7 years old.
Changed the shifter, splclutch,belt and pully, washer still has slow weak doesn't really spin hardly agitate ? Any ideas. Bravos matag washer mvwx655dw1
can I please get some help, I tried to go to test mode I just get a single flashing light at the spin indicator light. can't get it to go to test mode
i took the bolt out of the top of the agitator disk, when I put it back on it does not seek like it tightens all the way down is that right or am I am missing a washer on the bolt, it seems kind loose side to side
Having an issue where is spins slowly then stops and gets stuck. And just sits there could this be the actuator?
Mine was just like this, bought a shift actuator from amazon and installed it and it wouldn't even get pass the sensing mode. Wonder why
Can you tell me what could be wrong when the spin cycle gives an error message?
My maytag water level not full up what wrong with it ?
Hi, I have the same model. My issue was leaking oil underneath the washer. What caused oils to splatter underneath the washer?
i have exact same issue. been trying to find out whats wong with it
I have a problem with my bravos where it stops at the wash cycle and I also seen that not much water comes out and it doesn’t fill up
I have the same problem. I put a medium load load in, expecting the water to fill up over the clothes & it doesn't. I should've kept my old Kenmore washer...These new appliances aren't durable or reliable at all! Hopefully the technician can fix the problem.
So… it’s really loud now lol is that because of the new part? Or did I do something wrong
My Bravo MTC will not go it's got 2 in of water in it and it's flashing spin how do I reset it
my bravos dosen pull water how to fix it please help me
Is the washer not suppose to fill up with wash when set on extra heavy?
NO!
My spin mode is blinking, I've tried to press the start button but nothing happens. When it was spinning , it would shake the whole house , literally. And it wouldn't drain all the way , so I cleaned out drain pipe and now this issue. Help please
My Maytag Bravo mtc washer does not have an agitator in the center, and the clothes barely move. I can see through the window above.
Everything stays on top of the water, without brazing. How do you want it to wash well. ?
For bed sheets, these even worse. No movement, even if I put on only one sheet at a time.
And me, who was thinking of buying the best washing machine.
Maytag never sent me a letter saying that if I had a problem with my washer, it would be fixed at no charge.
I just thought this washing machine was washing clothes poorly.
How do you get more water in the drum
I've been using the Bulky setting all the time. That's the only way to get enough water to properly clean. These new "efficient" washing machines use WAY too little water.
My washer stopped mid cycle. I have clothes and water still stuck in the machine. Every time I plug it back in the lid lock is lit up. I have tried to drain the water out with a water vac. I can not get the machine out of lid lock. The light is solid. Help what do I do?
I HATE our Maytag Bravos cloths washer. Hate it. DO NOT BUY!
Usually so call high advance technology, it's always give you bunch of headache. We should go back to old school technology and let this high tech BS go bankrupt.😂😂😂 I'm so fed up with it.
Unfortunately if we’re watching this video, we already have one 😞
You are so Correct! DO NOT BUY!
THANK YOU
So if it doesn't agitate, but it spins like normal, is it the actuator?
Having same issues 😪
what happens if the test passes on everything but when you put into actual wash mode to wash clothes ist doesnt put water or work right
Same problem I'm having now...No water is coming out and it keep on making the noise like it's sucking out the water
when you took the old one off, you stated you felt something was off while you moved the shift lever arm? looked like it had alot of play, is it not supposed to move? im still not 100% that this is what is wrong with our washer. i took the old one off and the arm will NOT move at all. the problem i am having is that it agitate TOO FAST, like the pulse button on a blender which make the drum move as well....and it will not spin out the load.
Had a similar issue, coins caused the agitater to jam against the tub. Stripped out the clutch gear on the bottom. Spun like crazy when i fixed it also had to replace the suspension and replace the foam pads on the housing that dampen the tub moving to much. Over all an easy fix.
Is it supposed to move or be stuck? Cuz mine doesn't move either...
I have replaced my actuator 3 times now and it keeps breaking after 1 load…any idea what could cause that?
Do you have to replace Whirlpool Drive Clutch Kits I believe this is the part number. W10721967
We replaced the Actuator as well and it only worked for 2 wash cycle's, did the manual analysis like you and the agitator didn't turn but the whole tub did.@@DIYRepairsNow
We have the same problem. Did you repair yours from the kit suggested? More importantly, did it work?
