WASHER SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety
messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.” These
words mean:

DANGER

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't
immediately follow instructions.

WARNING

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow
instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can
happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
Read all instructions before using the appliance.
Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in,
washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning
solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances, as
they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other
flammable or explosive substances to the wash water.
These substances give off vapors that could ignite or
explode.
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced
in a hot-water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or
more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot-water
system has not been used for such a period, before using a
washing machine, turn on all hot-water faucets and let the
water flow from each for several minutes. This will release
any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable,
do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close
supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is
used near children.
Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded,
remove the door.
Do not reach into the appliance if the tub or agitator is
moving.
Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed
to the weather.
Do not tamper with controls.
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt
any servicing unless specifically recommended in the
user-maintenance instructions or in published user-repair
instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry
out.
Do not use replacement parts that have not been
recommended by the manufacturer (e.g. parts made at
home using a 3D printer).
See the Installation Instructions for grounding requirements
and installation.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING
Certain Internal parts are intentionally not grounded and may present a risk of electrical shock only during servicing.
Service personnel Do not contact any component that is not an integral part of the frame or metal cabinet.

how do you wash a load of clothes with Maytag MVW5430MW ?

To wash a load of clothes with the Maytag MVW5430MW washing machine, follow these steps: 1. Use only High Efficiency (HE) detergents. Look for detergents marked as "HE" or "High Efficiency" on the package. Non-HE detergents can create too many suds and may result in longer cycle times and reduced rinsing performance. They can also cause component malfunction and the buildup of mold or mildew. HE detergents should produce the right amount of suds for optimal performance. 2. Follow the detergent manufacturer's instructions to determine the amount of detergent to use. Do not exceed the Max Line on the dispenser. 3. Replace the water inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of hose failure. Inspect and replace the hoses if you find any bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks. When replacing the hoses, mark the date of replacement on the label and use new washers in the new inlet hoses to ensure a proper seal. 4. Always use warm and hot wash water settings sometimes, in addition to cold water washes. Warm and hot water settings do a better job of controlling the rate at which soils and detergent accumulate. 5. After each use, leave the washer lid open to help dry out the washer and prevent the buildup of odor-causing residue. 6. To clean the inside of the washer, you can use the "Clean Washer" cycle if your model has one. This cycle uses higher water volumes and can be combined with affresh® Washer Cleaner or liquid chlorine bleach. If your model does not have a "Clean Washer" cycle, refer to the online Cycle Guide for the optimal cycle for cleaning the inside of the washer. 7. To clean the washer using affresh® Washer Cleaner, open the washer lid and remove any clothing or items. Place an affresh® Washer Cleaner tablet in the bottom of the washer basket. Do not place the tablet in the detergent dispenser. Close the washer lid and select the cycle recommended for cleaning the inside of the washer. Press the Start button to start the cycle. Do not interrupt the cycle for best results. 8. Clear the water lines by running water for a few seconds through the hoses into a laundry tub, drainpipe, or bucket. The water should run until it is clear. Make note of which hose is connected to hot water to help in attaching the hoses to the washer correctly. 9. Connect the inlet hoses to the washer. Use pliers to tighten the couplings until they are snug. Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on the valve. 10. Check for leaks by turning on the water faucets. A small amount of water may enter the washer, but it will drain later. 11. Secure the drain hose to a laundry tub leg, drain standpipe, or inlet hoses for a wall standpipe using a cable tie. 12. Level the washer to reduce excess noise and vibration. Check the levelness of the washer by placing a level on the top edges and sides. Rock the washer back and forth to ensure all four feet make solid contact with the floor.

I took the first Maytag back because it would not finish the cycle and spin the load. The new one is doing the same thing. I need a better manual because I must be doing something wrong.

Where does the liquid fabric softener go

I was told by the salesperson that you have to use a “Downy Ball” I ordered one on Amazon. Not crazy about this method at all, but you put the softener in the ball and throw it in the washer when you start the load. I think during spinning, the ball opens up and the softener is dispersed during the rinse cycle.

Can't find the answer to your question in the manual? You may find the answer to your question in the FAQs about the Maytag MVW5430MW below.

What temperature should I use for my laundry?

The washing label of your garment shows the recommended washing temperature.

Do I need to use an anti-scaling agent for my washing machine?

It is not necessary to use an anti-scaling agent. Scale deposits can be prevented by limiting washing at high temperatures and using the recommended amount of detergent per wash.

How do I prevent my washing machine from smelling?

Unpleasant odours can be avoided by occasionally washing at 60 degrees and using the recommended amount of detergent per wash.

Why is my Maytag MVW5430MW washing machine not turning on?

Make sure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet and that the outlet has power. Check if the machine is connected to a circuit that has not been tripped or a fuse that has not blown.

Why is my washing machine not spinning?

Ensure that the load is properly balanced inside the drum. Uneven distribution of clothes can cause the machine to automatically stop spinning. Additionally, check if the lid is securely closed, as the machine will not spin if it detects an open lid for safety reasons.

How can I resolve excessive vibrations during the wash cycle?

Ensure that the machine is leveled on a stable surface. Use a level to check if all four sides of the machine are evenly positioned. Adjust the machine's feet if necessary to achieve proper leveling. Also, avoid overloading the machine, as an unbalanced load can lead to excessive vibrations.

What should I do if my washing machine is not draining water?

Ensure that the drain hose is not kinked, clogged, or obstructed. Check if the drain hose is inserted securely into the standpipe or utility sink. Additionally, make sure the drain pump, located at the bottom of the machine, is free of any debris or blockages.

Why is my washed laundry coming out still wet?

Verify that the selected cycle has the appropriate spin speed for your desired level of dryness. If the spin speed is set too low, the clothes may retain more water. Additionally, make sure the drain hose is positioned correctly and that the water pump is functioning properly to effectively remove excess water from the drum.
