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 ammable or explosive substances, as
they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other
ammable 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 ow from each for several minutes. This will release
any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is ammable, do
not smoke or use an open ame 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
specically 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

Why doesn't the fabric softener go into the washing machine? The washing machine is brand new and my mother-in-law is 75 years old. We live 3 hours away. Are there any easy instructions for this that we can provide her?

To fix a broken lid lock on the Maytag MVW6230HW washing machine, please follow these steps: 1. Make sure that the washer is properly leveled to reduce excessive noise and vibration. Use a level to check if the washer is level on all sides, including the front lid. If the washer is not level, adjust the plastic leveling feet using adjustable pliers. Repeat the leveling process until the washer is level. 2. Connect the washer to a grounded 3-prong outlet. Do not remove the ground prong, use an adapter, or use an extension cord. Not following these instructions can result in electric shock.

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 MVW6230HW 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 MVW6230HW not turning on?

Make sure the washer is properly plugged into a functioning power outlet. Check the circuit breaker to ensure it hasn't tripped. Also, verify that the washer's lid is securely closed, as the machine will not start if the lid is open.

How can I resolve excessive vibration during the wash cycle?

Ensure that the washer is level and all four feet are firmly in contact with the floor. Excessive vibration can also be caused by overloading the machine, so make sure to distribute the load evenly and avoid cramming too many clothes into a single cycle.

What should I do if my clothes are not getting clean?

Prioritize proper loading techniques by arranging clothes loosely and avoiding overcrowding. Also, double-check that you are using the appropriate amount of detergent, and ensure that the detergent dispenser is clean and not clogged. Consider using the appropriate wash cycle and adjusting the water temperature according to the fabric care labels.

How do I resolve water leakage from my Maytag MVW6230HW?

Inspect the water inlet hoses for any signs of damage or loose connections. Ensure that the hoses are securely attached to both the washer and the water supply faucets. In case the washer is overfilling, verify that the water level is set appropriately for the load size.

Why is my washer not draining properly?

Check if the drain hose is kinked or clogged, as this can restrict proper drainage. Make sure the drain hose is inserted securely into the standpipe or utility sink, and that the standpipe is not sealed shut. Additionally, clean the drain pump filter regularly to prevent debris from obstructing the draining process.
