I miss my 35 year old Maytag.. Only one repair in 33 yrs.. This 5 year old Kenmore is , odd.. So deep, I have to stand on a crate.. Ok, at least it has an agitator.. Old school .
Just bought new maytag. Only 6 months old, and it won't lock, so because it won't lock, it won't start. I should have kept my old maytag. It was 20 yrs old and still running. I just wanted a larger tub. So annoying 🙄
Ben, I enjoy your informational videos ! keep up the good work. You probably are thinking you’re not helping people, but YOU ARE! Thank you for your dedication to your call !
You sir are the man . I regularly watch you're videos but today on the Job I had a repair with this type of machine It had no tech sheet .so Out of the blue i just check you're channel and there you go giving me the answers to my problem ha thank you haha
Thank you. I had been trying to use my washer for 5 days to no avail. I tried the drain...unlocking it manually...nothing. until I found your video and it worked!!!!!
I have this same washer and only had it for 3 months. The drain pump had to be replaced. Your video worked and helped us reset it. Thank you so much it saved me 310.00 dollars from having a repair man do it.
@@bensappliancesandjunk Whirlpool quarterly training, but even the service manual doesn't explain this procedure well whatsoever. You made this very easy to understand.
Whirlpool had a service technician come over today for my brand new piece of junk that doesn't clean your clothes.... Been hearing a lot about these speed queens... Is it the real deal ? I've heard rumors of no lid lock safety BS, fills up the washer with plenty of water... Actually agitates and cleans your clothes... Is it true?
@@BuckMorel It's all true. I kid you not, I had 3 DOA Whirlpools and finally the salesmen fessed up that it wasn't a reliable model. Had a speed queen delivered to my door for $1300 and it's been wonderful. It's basically just a modern looking washer with 1970's technology from what I understand, which is good for reliability. They use a bit more water but the clean is better. Haven't needed a single repair so far and it's been about 5 years. It's paired alongside my 1986 Kenmore dryer and if that ever fails it will be replaced with a Speed Queen as well.
@@Lauterec awesome looking forward to arguing with whirlpool some more and once they finally refund me and come get there garbage machine back I'll be heading out for that speed queen. Any other cool speed queen features? What model did you end up with?
@@bensappliancesandjunk 20 yrs ago my aunt complained to sears her washer broke. She wanted a new brass screw for the leg. She had the original copper pot sears with "patent pending" on the plate.
Well, after enduring my old Bertha which was beyond noisy and finished with rust and busted suspension rods (Maytag Neptune duo “Almond”) I purchased LGs. LGTL7150 and matching dryer. I am AMAZED by their absolute silent functioning, amazing! Also, I compared in kilowatts consumed. These LG’s take almost 50% less energy than my old Bertha! I can only hope they last for 2300$!
The newest LGs tend to be quite remarkable, and I highly recommend them. They are about the most reliable on the market, but that's not saying much because pretty much all modern washing machines have a nose-dive in quality. However, like you said - water/electricity consumption is so much better now, that in SOME cases, the loss in reliability may be made up in efficiency. But that always is up to getting something that will last 10-15 years instead of 5-7, and LG on average is better than other brands right now.
Mine's the 4505 with three dials, and after checking error codes and calibrating, all the LEDs endlessly cycle through one after the other. If I press and hold the start button for a few seconds, it'll go through what seems like a half-diagnostic and test the spin cycle/drain pump/shifter, but then ends with the Rinse/Spin light solidly illuminated. Any thoughts? The original issue was a split wire at the drain pump, but now each feature of the automated test works just fine.
Thank you for this video! This has worked for me once before. But, now when I try the 1-2-1-2 sequence, only the lid lock light comes on. Any ideas? The machine is only 3 months old. Twice, I've had this issue with the start and sensing lights flickering, and had to perform this recalibration exercise.
What I had to do was pull my washer from the wall, tilt it all the way back to where I could get underneath of it two wires on the right side come loose from the factory must have been made on a Friday or Monday.I put new pigtails on it fixed it right away
I have urine and poop rinsed clothes stuck in washer with lid locked. Today is Tue and repair isn't coming till Fri. I guess I'll have to wash clothes about 5 or 6 times.
My maytag is 2 years old, exact same model as this and the code won't work but my main issue is that my Water Faucet option doesn't work, any tip for that?
wondering if you’ve ran into this issue. once cycle starts washer goes through sense and fill, it begins actuating then stops doing anything (FILL led is on) Sense and rinse/spin LED remain on. I’m at loss here. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
I just bought a maytag mvw4505mw and stopped at the wash cycle and the sense, fill and done lights are flashing and the lid will not open. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
My new Maytag water faucet feature does not work. I turn it to water faucet and nothing happens. Do you know what could be wrong or what I’m doing wrong.
I tried two brand new ones of this model. It’ll do small loads no problem. Mid size to large loads, it gets almost all the way through then stops. Sounds like the drains going but the two far left lights flash together and the rinse/fill flashes after. And then I have to put it on the drain cycle and it finishes it. Help????
Had the same issue. It simply cannot handle anything more than small loads after about a year. Kills the motor/transmission then its all downhill from there with weird problems. Couldn't do a single comforter or even slightly medium load towards the end. Totally stopped working again today. Bought mine a few years ago and it's going in the trash today. Never buying maytag again. Just Chinese built cheap junk now.
@@dommyboysmithit’s my second unit cause I thought the first one was bad but this one just did the same thing. Looks like I’ll be in your boat and going another direction
Mine washer is exactly the same model ,but will NOT go into re calibration mode. I followed the steps exactly and the knows were ALLin the same position shown. What could be causing this
omg you aren’t lying! My 1.5 year old Maytag broke 2x now. My other one was prob 30 years old and never needed service even once until it finally died.
I was able to fix my washing machine, but I think you should’ve started with unplugging and plugging the machine first before showing the instructions. Wasted quite a bit of time trying to enter calibration mode
Stumbled on this while browsing your channel when I have an issues with basically this model, which was just delivered, unfortunately not working and this did not fix the problem.
Hey Ben I am getting a new house and really want to save money by buying a kitchen appliance and washer and dryer package on aj madison, which would you recommend please? I have no idea where to start
Kitchen packages are hard, because there's no mfg. that really makes everything great anymore. If I had to choose one brand and made sure it didn't have in-door ice, I think Electrolux/Frigidaire would be the best all around. None of it is going to be stellar, but its not going to be like LG with a super suspect refrigerator (unless you're looking @ a side by side, then LG may be a fantastic recommendation). The other one would be GE. Not a fan of their dishwashers, but stoves/fridges are probably the best on average.
Smart move. They dont last more than a couple years. Technician out twice still wont run. Said he needed to do some research. Its going on the sidewalk tommorow. Never buying maytag again
Hello BRASIL! Nice to see you! I am considering having my videos translated to Portuguese some time to help people there! But I do wonder, what machines you use there that these videosa re useful for?
I want my lid to stay open while it is filling or if I forgot to add more clothes while it is filling i can't open it and if you push the power button all the soap water drained out this new Mayrag machine is too complicated I rather the older brand. This is just a wast of money too computerize just to wash dirty clothes .
Hey Ben tried to reply but it wont let me for some reason. These are the ones i am looking at on AJ Madison. Frigidaire FRRERADWMW4556, Frigidaire FRRERADWMW4546, GE GERERADWMW104032

I have just received the 3 knob machine today, 8/7/2024 and was doubtful I wont lie but IT WORKED just as you said! Thank you!!
Ironically - one of my techs saw there's ANOTHER way to do this on the 3-dial machines we have to film tomorrow!
Thank you. I had been trying to use my washer for 5 days to no avail. I tried the drain...unlocking it manually...nothing. until I found your video and it worked!!!!!
Love how you waited till after to say make sure the machine is empty
We just bought this model a few months ago and I downloaded your video for future reference. Thank you!

What if the lid never unlocks during recalibration the lights just keep going on mine
Thank you This has been more helpful than three hours of training seminars
Oh wow! That's some high praise. What seminar were you in?
@@bensappliancesandjunk Whirlpool quarterly training, but even the service manual doesn't explain this procedure well whatsoever. You made this very easy to understand.
My favorite way to recalibrate a Maytag is to replace it with a Speed Queen.

It won't ever happen. Every washing machine since about 2016 has had one.

Too complicated! I'll be watching this site to keep my Maytag Centennial combo running long! Great vidz!!
Oh man! I was sweating trying to get to the right video. Thank you!
Thanks. The service manual not saying what position 1 and 2 are for Encoder 2 was driving me crazy. Whirlpool has too many UI's.

Curious how well it turns over or washes a mixed load.
I dont have one
Those were discontinued about 5 years ago

Can't reset because there's wet clothes in it and the lid is locked
Don’t be impressed by all the lights. I hate mine with a passion and pray every time that it’ll work.
Those shift actuators are the cheapest parts. That is your moms washer? Do you not like her? Get that lady a Speed Queen.
