Automatic Load Sensing

[@vanessajackson5404]

Thank you so very much! I just purchased this same washer and you made it so much easier to understand. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@nancyreveles-guerra3746]

This is the worst machine! I can estimate load size small, medium, large, Xtra large. What happened to Maytag? Make Maytag great again!

[@meowtotheworld4801]

nancy reveles-guerra exactly. Our next washer will be one of those that someone sells at an estate sale after they die because it’ll be from the 80’s when washers worked fine.

[@MrGGPRI]

I called the Maytag man and the answering service said he has retired..

[@rendachs]

i have the Bravos XL. It fills with about 4 inches of water and washes NOTHING. My sheets, towels, clothes and dog blankets come out just as dirty as when they went in. I'm going back to LG non HE. They're more expensive but so worth it to get clean clothes.

[@MichiganSpinnaker]

I could not hate this machine more. $600 down the drain. Clothes come out dirty and smelly with soap residue and heavily wrinkled.

[@seasparks]

oh my gosh, I hate mine too. I have to do really small loads and extra rinse to get my close clean

[@SensationalLee22]

This washing machine catches only a few inches of water to wash my entire wash load. My clothes never get submerged under water. Deep Water Wash doesn't work- because it catches the same amount as auto sensing. So invariably I end up with clothes that are partially washed. Unless I struggle to fight with the machine to manually throw in enough water that can actually wash my clothes. I thought I was just a bad lucked customer that bought a faulty machine until I got here and read similar struggles that other people are facing. Any help that I could get to save me from going crazy will be helpful. My patience is running very low right now.

Wash on the bulky sheet cycle. It fills the tub.

[@timil0n]

@@catalina8677 Thank you! I was about to try ordering a new water level sensor and trying to replace the old one but i'll take this option instead. No more filling up 5 gallon buckets to wash clothes.

[@catalina8677]

Yes it is ridiculous that bulky sheets is the deep water cycle. I think it’s a flaw in their product or, it’s a joke on us all. A rude one!

[@RubyMLockwood]

@@catalina8677 Bulky cycle does not fill the machine...these auto sensing machines are GARBAGE...they do not wash our clothes...I tried bulky items and it doesn't fill any more water than the reg cycle does...whoever invented this shit washer needs to be put out of business...Garbage machines..

[@catalina8677]

@@RubyMLockwood It may be timing out. Unhook your hot water hose and remove the water limiter. It’s inside the hose. Then Reinstall. It may help.

[@LoveLife-sz8kr]

This washers are so bad they should do a recall on them, i brought mine at home depot and broke down within a year And its so expensive to fixed it

[@Angry20Something]

I can't believe I spent $600 on this useless piece of crap. It adds 2 inches of water to the basket, and several articles of clothing never get submerged during the wash and rinse parts of the cycle. Checked on a load yesterday mid wash cycle, and one of my shirts in the middle of the basket was bone dry. clothes are coming out with dirt on them, I'm then able to wipe off by hand. I thought the load sensor didn't work, until it was accurate and added enough water to the rinse and spin cycle only. This "washing machine" literally does not wash clothes. Clothing comes out just as smelly and dirty as it went in. If dirt and other substances left on clothes is loose enough to wipe off by hand when it comes out of the washer, it should have been washed off in the washer. Of course that can't happen if the soap and water never even touches multiple articles of clothing during the wash cycle. This horrible piece of garbage is a complete and utter ripoff. Google it. It's a known problem. Add to that, it leaves soap residue on clothing, and tangles them all up.

[@jaypudge420]

My mom has this washer and has the same problem. Have you found the cause of the problem yet?

[@jacquelinerapozo720]

[@DJoseR1313]

Im here because of this same problem. I just bought it yesterday and I’m off tomorrow to return that.

[@eliwhitworth158]

Did you put it around the wash plate or did you just throw it all in the middle

[@bridgetcarter1837]

Same issue with ours. Its been sitting in our basement for 2 years now...we've tried everything but it still only fills to 2 inches. Biggest piece of crap ever! It came with our house or I would have never purchased Maytag...I've never heard anything positive about their brand.

[@marywilliams586]

I bought this washer from Lowe's because it was on sale. It was installed, and the person left, never insuring that it was running, and didn't show me how to do it. I tried to use it and found out that he didn't plug the power cord to the wall outlet. I did that and tried to start it, but it wouldn't start for me. Then noticed he didn't turn the water on. I would like to keep this washer. I had to fight, big time, with Lowe's to get this taken care of. 🤬🤬🤬🤬 Supposedly, they are coming this Monday to fix it---4 days after it was badly installed. Then I can let you know what I think about it.

[@TheWASHINGMACHINEBOY]

my mom's amana washer has a knob to choose between auto sensing or deep water wash for the water level but i don't hear the washer motor move the basket while filling using the auto sensing option, but if the lid is opened the washer stops filling (it locks the lid but not until the first spin, or during the first drain in which it does a self-test)

[@arcticarrowhvacr]

That's a better one. Good old mechanical controls.

[@vickigloria3451]

Is it possible to get a video of the noises the top load machine makes going between cycles? Mine makes some kind of a shifting/grinding noise.

[@stevenlightfoot6479]

We just bought one of these, and we LOVE it.

[@williamreynolds7194]

Obviously a Maytag-paid gaslighter.

[@stevenlightfoot6479]

@@williamreynolds7194 not true. 3 years later still love it. It did have one minor repair post warranty, door lock. Very happy overall. Just bought a new Maytag dishwasher because I like the washer so much.

[@williamreynolds7194]

@@stevenlightfoot6479 Last week was my first exposure to an HE Maytag washer. My girlfriend's elderly mother says her new Maytag does not work. Well, it works. It just doesn't wash clothes very well. She has had it too long to return. She has been going to a nearby laundromat to do her laundry. I did not like seeing my t-shirts scrubbed around the bottom of the tub in three inches of water. Looks to me like a $1000 loss. I owned a laundromat for twenty years. This is NOT acceptable. Glad you're happy with yours.

[@enduringpromise]

Over engineering or global warming gone overboard. I had a Maytag for over 20 years and when we sold the home the buyers requested our old Maytag. Now I know why. We purchase a new set and I am convinced that monkeys engineered this new washer.

[@meowtotheworld4801]

I hate this washer. It’s like a glitch in the matrix for all the stupid things this washer does and does not do. We have to use “deep water wash” every time or else the cycle finishes with dry sections. The repair guy who came via Maytag or whatever said that’s normal and there was nothing he could do. Seemed weird since there are people who say theirs work fine. Idk. But there’s also weirdness like tonight when I washed clothes and then took them out when the machine said “done” but found there was a little bit of water left in the basin. So I pressed “spin and drain”. What did it do? It started filling up! Ha! Probably 6”! The irony! Cool sensors. This is just a perfect example of how this machine is crap to the point of absurdity. Oh. And don’t bother trying to “reset” because the instructions have to be a joke. It said something like: unplug for a minute then plug in again then open/close the lid 12x in 6 seconds, which isn’t physically possible. I’m telling you, don’t buy this washer unless you want it for entertainment or like angry ASMR. Whomever engineered it should be run out of town. I just can’t.

[@ScottyCosmo]

This video doesn't show what my machine does. It's set to deep water wash yet AGITAGES dry clothes for sensing? Not little test spins like in the video. It puts in water for 10 seconds then sits and agitates dry clothes for minutes. Don't think it's doing any favors to my clothing in the process.

[@Anne-ux3ex]

Has anyone found a way to override this automatic sensor issue to allow for a full amount of water?

[@ElevatorWasher5000]

choose bulky sheets or deep water setting on bulky sheets or you know

[@billydarico6180]

We thought ours was possessed by some demon. It turned itself back on when the load was done. This happened more than once when and we thank you KZbin someone posted a video on how to reset the continuous wash cycle.

[@YourLocalFireAlarmTech]

"Automatic load sensing" You mean automatic time waster?

[@jaypudge420]

No it means what is written it will sense how much water will be placed in the machine for your load. However my mothers is not working right because it only puts very little water in the machine. Just like above post doesn't even get all clothes wet.

[@YourLocalFireAlarmTech]

I'm guessing you didn't sense my sarcasm..

[@YourLocalFireAlarmTech]

And by the way the "Problem" You have actually might be normal. Hence these are "HE" Machines... They use about a cup of water then shred your clothes.

[@jaypudge420]

No just read it wrong didn't notice the time waster lol.

[@alstewart3809]

That One Ford Guy no its not normal these washer seem fine too me I bet you never tried it

[@dzdaydreamer92]

Mine doesn't do this. When in "sense" mode it basically acts like its washing. And then the light goes off, nothing happens for 5 minutes, then the washer light goes on and it just stays there and does nothing

[@jaywalsh1329]

We have this issue now too, did you ever find a fix?

[@catalina8677]

Same!

[@ScantPear]

It does not test the lid lock it does a part for movement is a baby fell in the machine

[@jeffwilliams312]

Well so what about after it fills and then does nothing

[@billyrawls7190]

I noticed they cut the video before the so called agitation starts. Any machine built like this is JUNK!!!!!!

[@Skyblue5680]

Same problem . Anyone can told me how to fix that

[@ddelv583]

With this stupid washer, I have to stand there for 10 full minutes constantly slightly opening the lid as soon as the water stops running, so it will fill for another lousy 8 seconds. That's the only way I can get a NORMAL Amount of water in this crappy washer to wash a load decently. Aaarrrrrgggghhhhh. Sooooo frustrating. 😠

[@MariaVargas-ls7le]

I can't even put a full load of clothes is only get like 1/4 of water in a fool load of clothes to wash and the clothes on top do not get washed

[@kbreanne]

i hate it smh my clothes came out dry bc of the lack of water 😕 and no i didn’t overfill the machine it wasn’t even halfway full miss our old school washer this is a waste of time. i have to wet my clothes before putting them in so they can actually come clean this is bs

I hate to swear. Our Maytag washer makes me swear. Makes my wife swear too. Honestly, it's just not right to pay $600.00 bucks for a machine that stirs up such hate. I fantasize about taking a sledge hammer to it and throwing the smashed up pieces in the driveway of the whirlpool factory thats locate in my home town. (Whirlpool makes Maytag now.)

Water washes clothes better than air. This machine is a piece of junk! We never needed a tutorial before and the clothes got clean. Better off washing clothes at the river with rocks. Waste of time and money

[@AnaDiaz-wz4cf]

I have a similar Type of washer. It's actually a Samsung. The load sensing option is horrible! Clothes don't get clean!!! It was freaking expensive. I can only use it in the "bedding" or "deep water wash" settings... then it takes like 90 minutes to wash a load! It's a time waster! I stayed at an RV park this summer and they had a laundry room. The washer cleaned some very dirty clothes in less than 30 minutes! I want me one of those now! And it was an old old washer

[@glendaford4385]

I can’t believe there’re still selling this washer. I have had mine sitting useless on the back porch for years. Definitely a piece of crap. Will never buy another Maytag appliance.

[@kybble]

They are terrible washers. They wont fill up with water no matter the setting even with deep fill options. They don't agitate well enough to foam soap or shift clothes inside. This is the garbage they are making today. Its not just the Maytag washer its all of them with this BS auto sensing options My last Ge washer I bought was 19 years old. It would be still be running today. but a year ago my main water line on house burst when it was repaired i got a lot of sediment though the lines clogged sinks and shower heads and faucets in my home and i just completely forgot to check the washer faucets the sediment messed up the pump i saw all the pebbles in it when it was taken out the house.
