Just did this now and definitely works. I was able to squeeze through back panel without completely removing touch pad console. Thank you!!!!!!!!
Followed Your video instructions, the green light was blinking and I cleaned the controller as shown with alcohol and it totally worked. My washer is up and running .... cost was two q-tips :). TY so much for posting this.
There’s not much more that I could say then what these comments have said but I have had my washer for 5 years and this just happened to me today! Shout out to you for having the answers to my problem! Worked like a charm!!
THIS WORKED!!!! Thank you so much for sharing, I had the Maytag repair guy diagnosis $100, and then estimate another $600-$700 for parts and labor. I was ready to buy a new washer, literally had the LG in the BestBuy cart. Obviously Wife was pissed and found your video! 20-30 minutes later, Boom saved me damn near $1000 on a new washer, warranty, install, and haul away. Thank you again for sharing!

Once the top back panel was off (5 screws), I was able to squeeze my hand in with a Q-tip dipped in rubbing alcohol to clean the four small sensors on the back left side--no need to undo the metal clips and slide the panel forward. This worked; thank you so much!!
Thank you so much!! You fixed us this evening as well, we just hit the 5 year mark!!! Thanks for posting, my husband wants to buy you lunch!
Dude, Spot on fixed my washer. After trouble shooting nightmares. Literally took seconds after seeing the video.
This exact same thing just happened to us, and this fixed it perfectly! You probably saved me hundreds of dollars for a repair call.

Still going strong?
Mine hit 3 year mark. Same exact issue. Cleaned the pads and used clear acrylic nail polish to coat them. Should stop a reoccurance. Thanks for the video.
Thank you! Just worked on mine. It ran last night. This morning the panel wouldn't turn on. Cleaned the contacts like you mentioned and it worked.
Worked like a charm. Thank you so much! I first checked the 120v coming in then the 5v going to the control panel. All was fine but still no power. Took a q-tip to those 4 little metal plates and Voilà. Powered right up.
Some very light corrosion on the contactors you referred to. Cleaned them with some alcohol and electrical contact cleaner. That worked PERFECT. Thanks! This is clearly an easy fix and should have been addresed by Maytag long ago.
Nice!!
Maytag does not want you to know this trick.. Maytag is sabotaging people just like every other company that is big
Thank you SO SO MUCH!
This made such a horrible situation super easy and fixable!
It worked! Thank you again so so much!
Unbelievable. Thanks for the video, saved me a bunch of money and hassle. 2 thumbs up.
THANK YOU!!! cleaning those four little rectangles with rubbing alcohol got it to power on again.
Our Maytag Bravos Xl mvwb835dw1 would not power on, so we called a repair company to come fix it. The technician said the control board and the main board was bad and needed to be replaced.
The coast was going to be $560.00 for the repair. I came across this video and less than 5 minuets the washer was back on and working just fine. THANK YOU for the great tip!
Great Im glad it helped. I was in the same boat until I found this fix
You mean the q-tip.
Any chance you’ve done this with the same brand dryer?
Had the same problem and this fixed it beautifully! Saved my wallet and a headache! Thank you very much!!!
Hey man your video really saved me!!!! I got this washer second hand and thought I was totally screwed when it went out. Glad to have you showing me what to do so I could fix it up and make the wife happy!
Add another $300+ to the total you have saved us. Same dang thing here. 2 of the tiny leads that are supposed to be copper colored were actually green (was her stays in garage) so I ended up scraping the gunk off (carefully) then scrubbed the area real well. Plugged it in and it fired right up. Thank you brother!
Thanks for the free fix! Here we are at the 3 year mark and hit the same problem. One day computer just wouldn't turn on. Opened her up, knew what to look for, cleaned with alcohol, and saved myself hundreds of dollars in a service call! Thanks Brent!
Oh my gosh, this!!! Thank you for posting this. Thank you for posting, this took care of the problem and I was able to fix it myself!!!
Two years later, and your advice is just as valid!!!! Thanx
Just finished fixing our model # MVWB765FW per your instructions. It is up and running as a champ. You are awesome. Thank you so much!
I just had this same problem and your solution fixed me!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dude, this saved me so much time and money.
Thank you so much. Technician said it would be $697 to repair. I only had the machine 3 years. Q-tip and alcohol.....perfect

This fix worked for me. I was skeptical and lazy initially to get through this trouble. But then I was like let’s give it a shot. Took me about an hour but end of the day it saved me 1k replacement cost on a new washer! Thank you!
We've used our Maytag unit for almost 7 years before having the same problem. Like the others commenting here, this video saved me from a $1000+ purchase for a new set. Thank you, Brent Tatum Music.
Bravo sir. Same problem, same solution. I opted for QD Electronics cleaner instead of alcohol since I had it on the shelf. Thank you for the video.
We replaced the control panel two years ago ourselves, then it went again this morning. Just used your tip and it's working again fine - I probably could have just done that years ago. Thanks for saving us $300 on the new part!
Thank you for your video! The q tip with alcohol worked like a charm!
Thanks a million!! This exact thing happened to us. Did exactly what you did, watching your video and worked. We are blessed to have people like you, saving a lot of us lots of money. Thanks again
I am glad I came across your video. I was ready to buy a new washer and this fixed it perfectly. Thank you!
Dude THANK YOU for being awesome, sharing, and getting straight to the point! Worked like a charm.
And yes, Maytag SUCKS along with pretty much all versions of major corporations who don’t post easy fixes or build machines to last anymore. Sheesh.
Grateful bro!

You just saved me over $700 and even more frustration. Thank you so much. Second load is washing right now.
What first started as a dilapidated spin cycle that left clothes soaked from a deluge of the river Nile resulted in 2 days later the whole thing going caputsky.... the instructions for the contacts made me look like a champ to the wife and offspring. Thank you sooooo much!
Man! Thank you for this video. D I d this and now it works perfectly. Thank you !!!!!!! Almost bought a new motherboard
Thank you! Your instructions and demonstration were very helpful and you saved us a lot of time and money.
I always see the comments on videos like this saying “worked like a charm!” And then they don’t work for me.. not this time!! Thanks friend, you solved my problem
This same problem happened to me today. With great doubt, I tried your solution. It is a miracle! A q-tip and some rubbing alcohol cured my washer. You are the man!
What a lifesaver man. Had to get new water heater couple weeks ago and then this happened to my wash machine on top of that. Did the q tip trick and it's back working. Helps you showed how to take it apart first. Thanks!
Just worked for me! You saved me nearly $700 in the panel part and cost of repair labor. Thank you!!
please subscribe to my channel to show your thanks!
You get the appliance repair equivalent of the Meritorious Service Award. Best video for repair havk Ive seen in years Thank you!
Thank you so much, saved us 300 bucks.
You are amazing, I was just about to order a new one and I watched your video and OMG, thank you so much.
Thank you for just saving me a a TON of money!
Thank you thank you. Literally just dropped the back panel and reached in with a q-tip and it worked right away. Saved me a ton of time.

Spent more time getting the lid and control panel off than doing the fix! Thanks for taking the time to post this video. Saved me lots of time and money!
Thank you! Fixed my problem and saved me at least $300. Can hardly believe it.
This also happened to us. Thanks for this video. Saved us some $$$.
Amazing! I did exactly what you said. I took off the controller board frame, used some rubbing alcohol at the few exposed circuit leafs, plugged everything back in, and the control board lit right up. It cost all of a new bottle of rubbing alcohol. Thank you!!
Had this same issue with our Maytag washer. Cleaned the control board just like in the video and it worked like a charm. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!
Literally worked!!! I feel like we owe you some kind of compensation. Thank you for sharing this video!!!
I want to thank you for showing us how to open the top to expose the clips. Other videos said to slide a butter knife or putty knife under the control panel and it simply wasn’t working. Getting to that control panel was the worst part of the entire project. Thanks again!
Worked on mine as well, thanks. Board got replaced under warranty originally then failed again after warranty was over so i did this and it worked.
Genius!!!!!!! Thank you. I saw a few other videos about diagnosis of the board but couldn't get the panel off. Found your video which showed the clips and the copper contacts and it made sense but seemed like a Longshot. My board and 5v socket checked out and sure enough there was some shmutz on touching copper pad 3 and 4. Qtip and alcohol, plugged it in and the wife's jaw dropped when it chirped and lit up. Thank you!

Cannot thank you enough for this video! I’m so proud I was able to fix it all by myself….with your guidance, of course
Thank you!!! I just fixed my Maytag with your instructions. Appreciate you posting this short to the point tutorial.
Just watched your video. Had the same thing happened. Followed your video and now my washer works. Dude, you just saved me $$$. Awesome. Thanks for the tip.
Nailed it bro! Much appreciated! 💯 You the man! Thanks for sharing.
This fixed my washer as well!
The panel was non responsive following a little power surge, so I was convinced that the main control board had a short, even though I had the blinking light. I purchased a replacement and installed it, only to still have the same issue.
Feeling defeated, I was about to try purchasing a replacement panel when I came across this video. Sure enough, there was some corrosion in the exact spot mentioned in the video. A qtip and rubbing alcohol cleaned it right up, and all seems to be in working order again!
I put the original control board back in to confirm that it wasn't the issue, and indeed it was the dirty contact points.
I only wish that this video would have been published and I had seen it before I purchased the replacement control board. Now, here's to hoping I can return the replacement board I purchased.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I don’t make videos and I have done this fix before because I had stumbled across the electrical contacts being green and corroded . So this being the fourth time in 3 years I’ve had to fix my washer I couldn’t get it to work so I watched your video and it was everything I’d done in the past repairs but I still couldn’t get it to work. Then I took the control panel piece off and cleaned every contact I could see with corrosion. It worked . Thanks for the video it was a good refresher. I just subscribed to your channel.
Amazing job.... still working in 2022!!! To the point video.... works like a charm.... key thing is make sure those green lights are blinking so you know you have power....

This worked perfectly for me as well. I used some electrical contact cleaner I had with a Qtip and my washer now works as it should. I contacted 3 different service providers and none of them would recommend this as a solution.
YOU. ARE. AMAZING!!!! I did exactly what you said and IT WORKED! You just saved us hundreds, if not thousands!!!

Awesome video and very helpful. I had the same issue with Maytag Bravos XL and circuit board was little corroded. Fixed the issue and followed step by step process. It worked!! Thank you very much!
Followed your directions, IT WORKS!! Thanks for the help, saved me big bucks.

Bro thank you so much for the Video.I called in the technician from Maytag.they charge me $150 and damage the panel and told me to replace the panel and some other staff.followed up with ur video and fixed It.and it works.appreciate your help man.
Had that problem with our washer today. It was dead, but the plug had power. Followed your actions on this video and it was up and running in 20 minutes. Thanks.
This was the fix for us, too! Thanks for taking the time to post this video! Cheers! 🍻🍻
Followed your video and fixed my Bravos XL! Spot on. Mine was just a little crusty on those 4 circuit board points. Appreciate the video!
Thank you! It worked for our washer. I will subscribe to your channel and support your music!
I never comment on here but you just saved me hundreds of dollars. Thank you!
Fixed ours! Thanks!!! The 4 copper squares weren’t even that bad, but nothing would turn on.
Wow! Took it apart and cleaned it with alcohol and a cotton swab. It’s working just fine now. Thanks for the q-tip. 👍

So as I prepared to do a full machine of dirty clothes today, my Maytag washer control panel did not light up and did not respond at all! I started searching for a fix online and came across this wonderful video!!! I am not generally good at fix it projects but the instructions were so clear; it was easy to follow. Just had issues with the clips. The Q tip with alcohol did the trick. Woohoo!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO!!!
wow awesome
Superb recommendation! Mine was also corroded and now it works. What a horrible product. Our detergent tray also rusted from day one. My last Maytag for sure.
I cannot thank you enough. I can't believe that worked. I really thought i was going to end up buying a new board. Thank you!
We just had this issues and tried to clean it and it works!! Thank you so much!!!
I'm glad this helped please subscribe to this page to support my music
Thank you! Fixed! Just a quick FYI. All you have to do is remove the back panel…use a pair of pliers holding the q-tip. Don’t have to remove the control panel. Saved me $400.

Unbelievable, it worked! Thank you so much! Get your shit together Maytag!!
Thank you for sharing. Cleaning the board with alcohol worked perfectly. it's almost as if they put those 4 pads in there to guarantee someone gets a service call

Thank you! Saved a expensive service call for an easy fix
I'm a machine repair technician, a client told me he had this issue 6 months prior, replaced the part for $400 and it was happening again. I thought it was strange so I looked into it and found this video.
To my complete fucking surprise, this worked. You just saved my companies' client either a $400 part or a completely new machine.
yet another this worked !! even a year later, ur saving people hundreds of dollars :] tysm !!!
I encountered exactly the same problem. Thanks for the video. Saved us hundreds of dollars.
I was skeptical at first, but I'll be damned it worked! Saved $450 thanks to you.
Super helpful! Fixed in no time!! (Once we realized to lift the kids you have to start sliding back while lifting 😁). You Sir are a lifesaver!

Thanks, this fix did the trick. Just a few notes on my particular machine.
I don’t see any name on our machine (e.g., “Bravos”), and I had watched 5 or 6 TH-cams. Finally, decided I would see if I could recognize the same control panel designation on a video -”Maytag --Commercial Technology.”
I followed the instructions here, but found that we have more screws on the back around the “hinge” area. Also to release the circular spring clips, I used channel lock pliers because regular pliers had insufficient mouth to grab and squeeze the clip.
Also, when I pushed and then pulled the top loose, I couldn’t access the inside of the control panel. There was a metal panel running the length of the control panel (not shown in the control panel for this video), and I removed the screws holding it on. Then had access to the plastic back of the control panel, which had the access hole with the contact points shown in this video. I removed the little wire with needlenose pliers to squeeze the plastic clip.
(YOU HAVE UNPLUGGED THE MACHINE IF YOU ARE FOLLOWING ME -CORRECT?)
I used Q-tips and alcohol to scrub the contacts, but the blackish corrosion was hard, particularly between the 4 copper strips. I CAREFULLY used a small chisel to GENTLY scrape the area between the strips, making sure not to gouge the plastic -only scrape the corrosion off the surface.
Then, I scrubbed some more with the Q-Tips/alcohol. Instead of reassembling everything, I connected the small wire to the contacts access area and gently turned the control panel over. I stepped away from touching the machine, plugged in the machine, and pushed the on button. SUCCESS!
HOWEVER, ANYONE WITH ELECTRICAL KNOWLEDGE/EXPERIENCE, PLEASE ADD WHATEVER CAUTIONS SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THESE AMENDMENTS TO THE VIDEO.
This was our exact problem with ours. Got it working again. Thank you for sharing!
Dude, you saved me 300 bucks! I don't see why cleaning those points makes the washer work but I thought what the hell since I've got the machine open to this point already I'll give it go. Now it's working like new. Awesome.
