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 MVW5435PW 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.

What type of detergent should I use with the Maytag MVW5435PW washing machine to avoid excessive sudsing?

To avoid excessive sudsing with the Maytag MVW5435PW washing machine, use only High Efficiency (HE) detergents. These detergents are low-sudsing and quick-dispersing, ensuring the right amount of suds for optimal performance. HE detergents hold soil in suspension to prevent redepositing onto clean clothes. Look for detergents marked "HE" or "High Efficiency" on the package. Not all HE detergents are the same, so choose one that reduces suds effectively. Follow the detergent manufacturer's instructions for the correct amount to use and avoid exceeding the recommended dosage. Using non-HE detergents can lead to longer cycle times, reduced rinsing performance, and potential component malfunction. Always adhere to these guidelines for best results.

How often should I replace the water inlet hoses of the washing machine to reduce the risk of hose failure?

To reduce the risk of hose failure, replace the water inlet hoses of your Maytag MVW5435PW washing machine every 5 years. Keep a record of the installation or replacement dates for future reference. Periodically inspect the hoses for bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks, and replace them if any issues are found. When attaching the hoses, do not overtighten them or use tape or sealants on the valve to prevent damage. Attach the hot water hose to the red hot water inlet valve and the cold water hose to the cold water inlet valve. Check for leaks by turning on the water faucets. Secure the drain hose properly to avoid leaks. Level the washer to reduce excess noise and vibration by ensuring all four feet make solid contact with the floor.

What are the recommendations for keeping the washer clean and performing at its best?

1. Use High Efficiency (HE) detergents as they are low-sudsing and quick-dispersing, ensuring the right amount of suds for optimal performance. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the amount to use and avoid exceeding the recommended quantity to prevent detergent and soil residue buildup. 2. Occasionally utilize warm and hot wash water settings, in addition to cold water washes, to better control the accumulation of soils and detergents inside the washer. 3. Always leave the washer lid open between uses to facilitate drying and prevent the development of odor-causing residue. 4. Perform a monthly cleaning procedure using affresh® Washer Cleaner or liquid chlorine bleach to maintain a clean and odor-free washer. Follow the recommended cycle for cleaning the inside of the washer, ensuring proper ventilation and drying after completion.
