MAYTAG TOP LOAD WASHER DEMONSTRATION ( SEPT 2024 )

Watch me do a demonstration on the Maytag MVW5035MW top load washing machine

[@ms1herrick]

I'm so glad I found your video!! I'm in a rental condo and I couldn't figure out why it wouldn't start. I did it right along with you and it worked! I just wasn't giving it enough time- Thanks so much!

[@davehowtohelp]

Thank you for watching

[@princessrogers6314]

Yep! 7 weeks without my old school wash machine that I had for 25 years! I thought I was getting an old school wash machine. I got it too because of the knobs. I have done everything in your video with figuring out how to use it. I think I'm going to have to write on the lid how to use it. I was extremely disappointed with the Maytag company for not putting direction in the lid. I'm going to address it with the company. My parent's and my old machine have directions on the inside lid. The least they could have done was put that sheet with the manual. I'm grateful for your putting this video together. I'm going to have to have everyone that uses my machine to watch this video. Just like jinglejazz, I too, said, "I hate this machine." My friend said if he fixes my old machine he would bring it back. 😅 With your help, a lot of questions have been answered. That sheet is a game changer. Thank you!!!!

Dave, thank you for your brief and simply tutorial. (Another example of Canadian supremacy). I have sampled a 2:30h video, another with KZbinr saying, “WhatUP whatUp,” from the jump, and Maytag website with NO tutorial for my 4505. You did great in 20 minutes. Thank you. Jim Gross

[@AlyniaR]

Love your help! It made a lot of noise and wasn't balanced in the beginning. You're the best! Thank you so much for your commentary. VERY HELPFUL!

Thank you

[@bayadeoro94]

Tnhaks a lot Dave, very useful information, I just bought one and I was about to return it because I thought it wasn´t working well. Thanks and greetings from Mexico!! 😄✌

[@davehowtohelp]

Thank you for watching my video. More to come

[@gloriabellerive9528]

Thanks Dave that was very helpful....i was truly frustrated with it...

I bought this new washer this summer. I absolutely HATE IT! Its got an ATTITUDE!!! first, no owners manual on how to operate it. You have to hit the power button, then hit another button until all the white lights come on. Then it locks, makes some noise. so I go to put something in that I forgot to put in, however the lid won't open because its locked. its still filling. I hit stop, and then the fun starts. it goes into spin, empties, that takes 5 minutes, then it opens. then you have to start it all over again. I've had enough of it. Sure it works great when it does a load however if your like me and forget something....this washer is not what you want. My old GE Washer and dryer lasted 20 years with no issue. Decided to get a new set...sure its great but this washer is not going to be here long. I'm already looking for a replacement. None of this shit. It locks, good, the cat can't get in it when its running. even adults can't get into it. This thing is going very soon. MAYTAG...WHO'S GRADE 8 HOME ECONOMICS PROJECT IS THIS! DON'T BUY IT.

[@davehowtohelp]

You must press the pause button on the bottom right for it to pause, so you can open it during a cycle. Then press the pause button again until all the lights flash to start again. You are right none the manufacturers make these machines to last 20 years anymore

[@jinglejazz7537]

@@davehowtohelp Why all the lights coming on to get it started. to make it look like we're living in the Jetson's age? No instruction manual on what the features do. My old setup had instruction, I gave them to the person I gave the old set too. Christ. I am getting rid of this Maytag. It takes way to long to wash stuff. buzz, buzz, click, swirl, swirl, then stop. Don't buy Maytag.

[@gaildaly4737]

I hate mine also

[@haileyalex]

Just got one two weeks ago, already looking to return it. I HATE that it gives me the option of how much water to put in, but it senses the load and does what it wants! WTH! The bad part is that it doesn’t even cover the clothes in water!

[@jorginahancock690]

You should have watched this video so that you understand that you just pause the cycle with the pause button to Open the lid mid cycle. He said if you turn it off it'll drain which is what you did.

[@francesf1533]

Thank You !! You are a Blessing 🤗 No Directions came with it, & I wasn't there at time of purchase or installation. So I went to use it with no one around except for the papers that did come with it which was only on how to Install it...Not use it. ( Crazy ) *** I do have a question on did you put somewhere here the Washer Cycle Guide that you had or how did you get it ? I just set my washer to yours since I too...Mix loads. Again... Thank You ! Happy New Year 2025 & God Bless 🙂

[@davehowtohelp]

Happy New Year. Just Google Maytag Washer Cycle Guide, and download it.

[@dawnmeyers1966]

❤❤❤❤ thanks sure is kind of noise washing right? Not bad just different from my front loader

[@emma-my8bn]

Watching to learn how to get it to work. Why is a new washer so difficult. 😂

[@davehowtohelp]

I feel your pain. Over kill on the technology.

[@adeliyag7918]

Thanks for this awesome review Do you use faucet much? For soaking? How do you soak? Thanks buddy.

[@dawnpolly1076]

Please show how to use fabric softener

[@juliosusycastaneda8141]

Yes seriously why do we need to dilute with water /add water if should release it automatically

[@DCTONY159]

I have this model but mine has a clear lid top I followed the instructions on how to turn it on I didn't see the lid lock on the panel or hear it filling with water what's the problem?

[@carriew92]

Thank you!

[@davehowtohelp]

Thank you

[@mistyharper9722]

Can you use the water facet with lid open? If so how.

[@janicecatalano4430]

The best demonstration on the washing machine . The wasn’t satisfied with this machine, but I am now after this tutorial can you soak something by using the pause button?

[@davehowtohelp]

That could work

[@Bigryry5150]

Bra this this is so loud is it messed up like of the rails or what it shakes like crazy with a little or big load

[@davehowtohelp]

You have to balance these washers

[@eileenhealy9974]

I appreciate your tutorial but I need to hear how the machine sounds during the fill/soak cycle. Mine is making a loud grinding sound and only has about 3” of water then drains. Strange.

[@davehowtohelp]

I will do a full wash video soon. Stay tuned

[@donfactor.tienda]

Hi I'm fron México can you take a photo about your instruccions please

[@davehowtohelp]

Ok I will

[@donfactor.tienda]

​@@davehowtohelp tengo dudas 😢😢😢 necesito help for WhatsApp

[@DCTONY159]

Does this washer machine have a self cleaning cycle

[@davehowtohelp]

No but just put it on quick wash with a little bleach.

[@carolynwarshallcollins2715]

When I press sense then start the lights do not go on.

[@davehowtohelp]

Press sense then press the start button for about 5 seconds

[@liderglobal78]

I bought one of those machines and only used it two times and it doesn't drain out the water from the clothes anymore and the cycle never finishes and it stays locked. How can I fix this?

[@davehowtohelp]

Push the pause button on the bottom right of the display panel, and wait about 5 sec for the lid to unlock

[@davehowtohelp]

If you use too much soap, the rinse cycle will take forever to finish. Use ( he ) high efficiency soap, and very little of it.

[@jillhultquist3073]

How do you use the new soap washing sheets instead of the liquid. it says on box to put in bottom of machine and fill for a bit so it dissolves?

[@davehowtohelp]

Put it in the bottom, then put the clothes in and start machine

[@suzannepiper4938]

Does your washer have water on the inside walls of the drum when clothes are done? None at the bottom but up on the sides? If I wipe it out, it's enough to soak a couple paper towels. I've only used it twice. Thanks!

[@davehowtohelp]

Yes I have a little water beading up top. After uses, you must leave the lid open on all washers so any water can evaporate, and prevent mold

[@suzannepiper4938]

@davehowtohelp thank you 😊

[@One-Day-After-Another]

changes hoses every 5 years... Yes, you totally should. With that being said, my washer bought in 2005 still has it's original hoses... I inspect them for leaks, bulging, or anything... I also turn water off when done doing laundry to be safe... but yeah, 20 year old hoses and right on the hoses it says "replace every 5 years"

[@ricotbg9874]

Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement lid lock for this exact washer? My model is MVW5435PBKO

[@jhoanamartinez9418]

Do I add the detergent before or after adding the clothes?

[@davehowtohelp]

Add it before

[@juliosusycastaneda8141]

How about if I use the pods

[@sue2983]

Where can I find the paper you follow? Or what is it called?

[@gmanTim]

I just got my washer today, and the paper came with it.

This video is perfect for boomers.

[@deannarichie7487]

Keep the camera still. All the new washers and dryers have too many choices. Just put the water in, rinse, spin, go to dryer. Just bought new Maytag w/d after ones I had 27 years. Too much to choose from on menus.no need. I still can’t operate the one I just bought.

[@davehowtohelp]

You are right. Big learn curve.

[@Ldspundude]

You can bypass that lid. Locked out laundry is a sin.

[@mistyharper9722]

Do you know how to bypass the lock lid? Hate that feature

[@bksosa]

you just take a T-15 screw driver bit and remove the lock from the lid and leave it attached at the bottom making the machine think it’s locked

[@SA-pq7zq]

I hate this shit!!! Worst technology ever!!! Super pissed.

[@davehowtohelp]

You are right. Over kill on all the toys, bells, and whistles that they put on all these washers, and dryers. All we want is a timers, high to low, and on / off. All the manufacturers think we need all these sensors, and toys

Hello

[@chrisscott3583]

This machine is a piece of garbage, have one which is 2 weeks old and already have a lid lock issue which I can't reset by recycling the power

[@DavidBasurto-s2f]

This washer sucks lid locks and you can't put softener in. Balancing sucks.

[@deannarichie7487]

Yeah. No need to lock the lid. I have the same.
