TROUBLESHOOTING TESTS

TEST #1: Main Control (ACU)
This test checks for incoming and outgoing power to and from main control.
This test assumes that proper voltage is present at the outlet.
1. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
2. Remove console to access main control.
3. Verify that all connectors are inserted all the way into the main control.
4. With a voltmeter set to AC, connect black probe to J1-1 (Neutral) and
red probe to J1-2 (Line). Plug in washer or reconnect power.
If 120 VAC is present, go to step 5.
If 120 VAC is not present, check the AC power cord for continuity
(See Figure 7.)
5. Is the “Diagnostic LED” flashing or continuously “ON” or “OFF”?
See Figure 1 for LED location).
Flashing: (+5 VDC present and micro operating) proceed to HMI Test.
ON: (+5 VDC but micro failure) continue to step 8.
OFF: (+5 VDC missing or micro failure) continue to step 6.
6. Check if console HMI is affecting the main control DC supply.
a. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
b. Remove connector J5 from main control.
c. Plug in washer or reconnect power.
7. Perform voltage checks inside header J5 on the board – do not short
pins together.
a. With a voltmeter set to DC, connect black probe to J5-4 (Circuit Gnd)
and red probe to J5-1 (+12 VDC).
If DC voltage is not present, go to step 8.
If the DC voltage is present, but the diagnostic LED is not flashing,
continue to step 8.
8. Main Control has malfunctioned.
a. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
b. Replace the main control.
c. Reassemble all parts and panels.
d. Plug in washer or reconnect power. Perform Service Diagnostic cycle to
verify repair.

TEST #2: Valves

This test checks the electrical connections to the valves, and the valves
themselves.
1. Check the relays and electrical connections to the valves by performing
Water Valve test sequence under Component Activation. Each test
activates and deactivates the selected valve. The following steps
assume one (or more) valve(s) did not turn on.
2. For the valve(s) in question check the individual solenoid valves.
a. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
b. Remove console to access main control.
c. Remove connector J8 from main control. Refer to Figure 7 - Main
Control.
d. Check harness continuity and connection to solenoid valves.
3. Check resistance of the valve coils across the following J8 connector
pinouts:
Valve Pinout
Fabric Softener J8, 1 & 6
Hot J8, 1 & 5
Cold J8, 1 & 3
Resistance should be 890–1090 Ω.
If resistance readings are tens of ohms outside of range, replace the
valve assembly.
If resistance readings are within range, replace main control and
perform Service Diagnostics to verify repair.

TEST #3: Drive System

1. Enter Service mode and view Fault Codes. If F7E1, F7E3, F7E4, F7E6
or F7E7 faults are shown then there is likely a motor or shifter related
issue Take note of the faults and clear the faults.
2. Once the error codes are cleared, enter Component Activation mode
and run the Slow Agitation test; if the motor runs after 15–20 seconds,
there is not a problem with the motor, control, or motor wiring harness
connections.
3. Next, within Component Activation mode, run the Spin Low Speed
cycle. If the motor hums briefly and then shuts down, go to Fault Code
display mode and check for fault codes.
4. After running agitation and spin test, check for fault codes.

TEST #3a: Drive System – Shifter

This test checks connections, shifter coil, and harness.
NOTE: Lid must be closed and locked for the motor to agitate or spin.
IMPORTANT: Drain water from tub before accessing bottom of washer.
Functional Check:
1. Check the shifter and electrical connections by performing both the
Spin and Wash test under Component Activation Mode. The following
steps assume that this step was unsuccessful.
2. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
3. The motor and shifter should be able to be turned independently of
each other. If they are locked together, there is a shifter slider issue.
Proceed to step 11.
If basket and impeller turn freely, go to step 4.
If basket and/or impeller do not turn freely, determine what is causing
the mechanical friction or lockup.
4. Remove console to access main control.
5. Visually check that the J2 and J6 connectors are inserted all the way
into the main control.
If visual checks pass, go to step 6.
If connector is not inserted properly, reconnect J2 and J6 and repeat
step 1.
Shifter Motor:
NOTE: Before starting the electrical check, verify that the cam on the
splutch is moving freely and not binding.

I will be having this washer delivered in a week. I see that reviews are stating problems with draining. I had this problem with a Midea that was only 2 weeks old. Is there a pump filter that the consumer can clean?

Done 2 loads. My new washer works until it gets to the rinse/spin cycle. At this point, the tub spins constantly with intermittent spurts of water, never filling to rinse the load. It then continues to spin. I eventually had to stop the cycle using the power button. Anyone? Thanks. Translation: I have completed 2 loads of laundry. My new washing machine works well until it reaches the rinse/spin cycle. At this point, the tub keeps spinning continuously with occasional bursts of water, but it never fills up to rinse the load. After that, it continues to spin without progressing. Eventually, I had to stop the cycle by using the power button. Does anyone have any solutions? Thank you.

6200 KW washer. Does the machine sense the amount of load of clothes to determine level of water released into the washing drum?

C
Caitlin WerthFebruary 25, 2021

How do you know when a load is complete? Right now the machine has been flashing 'sense' and 'done' alternately but the lid is still locked. Will it stay solid on 'done' when it is done? Also, how long do loads usually take? Ours seems to take hours. We ate concerned we might be doing something wrong.

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 MVW6200KW 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 washing machine not turning on?

Make sure the machine is plugged into a working electrical outlet and that the circuit breaker has not tripped. Additionally, check if the washer's door is securely closed, as the machine will not operate if the door is open or not properly latched.

Why is my laundry coming out still wet?

Ensure that the selected cycle and settings match your laundry load. If using a high-efficiency detergent, make sure it is appropriate for your type of load. Check if the drain hose is properly connected and not kinked. Adjust the spin speed if necessary, as a slower speed may leave clothes damp.

Why does my washer make excessive noise during operation?

Verify that the unit is level and stable on the floor. Ensure that the load is balanced inside the drum, as unbalanced loads can cause increased noise. Additionally, check if any foreign objects, such as coins or buttons, are trapped inside the tub or pump, as they can contribute to the noise.

How can I clean the washing machine drum?

Run a cleaning cycle with a washing machine cleaner specifically designed to remove dirt and residue. Alternatively, you can wipe the drum interior using a mixture of mild detergent and water, making sure to rinse thoroughly afterward. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or bleach, as they may damage the drum.

Why is my washer displaying error codes?

Different error codes indicate specific issues. To troubleshoot, try turning off the washer and unplugging it for a few minutes before restarting. If the error persists, consult the user manual for a list of error codes and their corresponding solutions. You can also contact customer support for further assistance.
