How to Reset or Recalibrate a New Style Maytag Top Load Washing Machine (2022-Current)

If you own a newer (2022-current) top load Whirlpool washing machine, the reset/recalibration is notably different than nearly-identical Maytag topload washing machines made from 2010 - 2021.
The dials are slightly different, but the reset and recalibration process is massively different. It still remains just as critical to do this after installing a part, or if the unit acts funny, so learning how to do this is super helpful.

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 .

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

Great to hear!

Oh wow! That's some high praise. What seminar were you in?

[@Dizzledude2012]

Too complicated! I'll be watching this site to keep my Maytag Centennial combo running long! Great vidz!!

[@oldstockwhitecanadian2492]

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$!

[@bensappliancesandjunk]

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.

[@Mark-xh9ne]

I thought this was a joke. Now I am horrified. I hope my 15 year old speed Queen never quits.

[@mjkay8660]

I'll be glad when they get rid of computers in appliances we don't need them we function fine for years without computers in our works

[@bensappliancesandjunk]

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

@@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.

Thanks, and service mode,, test components steps please 👍👍👍

[@alvinsok]

After I open and closed the lid, the lights starting turning on like yours did but no water or spinning actually happened. What should I do?

[@ScottBunch-ze7ie]

After all the lights flash. The cave opens and water starts that’s all it will do? Any tips?

[@Lauterec]

My favorite way to recalibrate a Maytag is to replace it with a Speed Queen.

[@BuckMorel]

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?

[@Lauterec]

@@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.

[@BuckMorel]

@@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?

[@MadLadsAnonymous]

Can you please do a video on the Kenmore Elite 6133 top loader? (6.3 cu ft impeller) Curious how well it turns over or washes a mixed load.

[@bensappliancesandjunk]

I dont have one

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?

[@dragonpride95]

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

*How do I turn on deep fill?*

[@afrain000]

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.

[@AlfreItua]

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

[@bensappliancesandjunk]

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.
