Maytag Bravos Washer Will Not Turn on, Diagnosis and Repair

[@jimmoore4643]

Thanks. That was awesome. I fixed it by cleaning the contacts, but when I need parts I'm calling you guys!

[@JOHNGOYNES-vd6tl]

Thanks to everyone who commented about cleaning the contact points and thanks to the author for instructions on how to disassemble!!! Worked like a charm. My wife thinks I'm great!! KZbin for the win.

[@MrGarage252]

Same thing for me!

[@billyboyd418]

Yes, mine had the blinking light and 5v but the touch panel wasn’t working. I think it was just the contact between the panel and the board. You can see the blinking light by just removing the back panel screws and pulling the metal plate back. I had to remove the lid and touch control to get to the plug for testing the 5v, took about 5-10 minutes. I don’t know how long it will last but now know that mine is just a bad connection and simple fix.

[@tarheel1116]

Just happened to me, and had to piece together KZbin videos to get through the process. This 9 minute video doesn't really help. Basically, if you freeze it at 6:58....look at the 4 orange rectangles. You need to clean that with a Q tip and alcohol (vodka worked for me). The most annoying part was getting the silver clips through their hole to release the top frame. Don't squeeze with pliers....take pliers/screwdriver and when lid is vertical, push down on the silver clips (pliers were too thick to use on the left side) and then push in.

[@maynerdrules]

Same here, had to clean off all the connectors and works as normal now!

Thank you so much for this video. Turns out my board and display were fine and it was a dirty contact. Cleaned it up and it's working again. That being said... I absolutely hate this washer and dryer. Maytag dependable my arse.

[@zross8471]

Awesome video! Thanks to this I was able to open it up and diagnose the problem. It turned out to be corrosion on the small circut board for for the display panel. Just below where the power connects to the display panel are some copper looking nodes. Cleaned them with a q tip and alcohol. Panel came back to life!

[@kellyoneal5498]

Nice video. It's really unforgivable that Maytag sells these POS washers and basically doesn't support them afterwards. I'm so frustrated with mine that given the option I would literally launch it with a trebuchet into the Maytag HQs to adequately lodge my complaint. Perhaps with this help I can actually get a load of laundry done

[@joshuaricard8771]

Yup. Mine is barely two years old and costed almost a grand. It is straight up criminal. They are kind enough to sell me a new pos board for just 640. Crooks! Never again Maytag. I tell everyone I know.

My unit is the Maytag model mvwb765fw3 At the moment I hear the pump trying to pump out all the water, but I don’t have any screen. What do I do from here? Do you think my control panel is out?

[@haleygadsby4823]

Hello! Did you find out what you had to do in this situation? I am having exact same problem. I have the green light and I hear it trying to pump out the water but nothing. I am at a loss and I can't access the diagnostic mode either.

This video is excellent. My washer won’t turn on at all. I have the 120v at the plug connection as described in the video. Instead of 5v going out tot the head, I have almost 10v. Is that the issue? Do I replace the board? The green light is still flashing on the board.

[@keithbarber1926]

thanks for all the info, I have the correct voltage on the main board but still no power to the control panel.

[@2007laylow]

Been out a washer for about 2 weeks now, and this is the exact issue im having with my washer. cant find a repair guy so now im looking at youtube for help...

[@chriskneece2715]

What's the chances of me purchasing a control board for a mvwb855dc2? Juat ran through my board with the multimeter and I have the 120V AC supply but I do not have that cleaned up dirty DC 5V.

[@SteinmannMauricio]

Great Video! Exactly the issue. I checked the power on main board 120V, but NO Power on interface plug. I purchased a used control board and it worked ONLY for 20 minutes. Power to Control panel disappeared. This second control board has NO power on interface plug. Any hints what could cause the interface plug to go out????? Hope you can give me some diagnostic tips... Thanks again

[@KingKatura]

3:03 Most likely its a capacitor you should look into the voltages each capacitor has & check them to find the faulty one. The big metal piece is just a heat sink. But capacitors are usualy only a couple bucks versus a couple hundred to replace the board. But you have to get the schematics for each washer you work on to check it out.

[@jeremyallen3845]

Hey my Maytag washer looks very similar to his. I just got another circuit board from ebay....When everything is connected is there suppose to be a light that comes on? Ive purchased another cord as well... neither when in use turns on the light bulb or power on the machine... your thoughts? thanks in advance

[@wayneconley1324]

Do you know if the led not on or flashing means the board is bad for all Maytag washer control boards or is that a specific thing? I have the same issue with a different model specifically MVW6230HW. I do have 5v at the connection to the display board but won’t power up and also won’t go into diagnostics mode.

[@alfonsogobaleza7968]

[@alfonsogobaleza7968]

2nd comment, thanks for video my daughter washing machine is fix. Right after I watched the video, I went to work. I did clean the connection with alcohol swab. Hold and behold after cleaning the connection put it together, and a big prayer. It worked, before the day over. Again thank you. The difference I did, I just disconnected the control unit, with out lifting the cover.

I just happen yo run into a thing like it. 2 dyas ago it wouldnt turn on anymore and trip my breaker. Trying to find a rest button or something.

[@connierobbins761]

What if the panel lights up and starts the wash cycle but will not spin the water out.The power light blinks on even after it is unplugged. Since it started messing up it did wash one complete cycle perfectly. I can't even find a repairman to come check it out. I have had it 5 yrs in August. So disgusted 😢 Your videos are showing me more of the problems I am having. You explain it so simple I am tempted to give it a try myself. I am a 64 yr old grannyma.😁please help me if you can😊

@1:55 that contact is damaged from hot steam. Maytag designed that control panel poorly and it should have been recalled or at least a fix. I'll never buy another Maytag washer again. Made in USA poor garbage, of course a washer panel can get humid!

[@davidcoryell7373]

Dylan, I am probably too late for you. My machine would not turn on. The green light was flashing on my board. I followed the wires up to the control panel. There is a small circuit board there with 6 exposed copper contacts. They were covered with corrosion. I scraped them clean and used alcohol to remove the remaining debris. When I plugged the panel back into the board, it came to life. It's running as I type this. That little cleanup job saved me $250.
