My Maytag washer not powering on. I checked the power outlet and it is working fine. I changed the electric control board and still it’s not working. What could be my plan of action ? How to check if my display panel working ?
Cause 1 Main Control Board The main control board might be defective. However, the main control board is rarely at fault for this symptom. Before replacing the main control board, first check all of the more commonly defective parts. Cause 2 Incoming Power Problem The electrical outlet may not be getting power. To determine if the outlet is getting power, try plugging something else into the outlet. If the outlet is not getting power, check the home circuit breakers or fuses. Cause 3 Power Cord First ensure that power is getting to the electrical outlet. If the electrical outlet is receiving power, but the washer won’t start, the power cord might be defective. However, this is very rare. To determine if the power cord is defective, use a multimeter to test it for the cord for power. If the power cord is not getting power, replace it.
This guy hit the nail on the head. Fixed my F6 E2 code in less than 20 minutes and not cost other than tips for cleaning. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Wh9fsP7QKG…
Hi @samatoid Here’s the tech sheet for the washer. Go to p.22 to view the wiring diagram. If there are sparks at the plug when you connect it to the power then the diagram should help to find out where the problem is. Once you have resolved that, go to p.11 to view the tests for a won’t power up problem. Hopefully this is of some help.
This ended up happening to me. UI board was frozen. Could power on but none of the buttons would respond. Long story, but in the end it turned out to be the lock mechanism was not sending a signal to the main board. Replaced that and it works again.
So here is a couple tips from an owner of a maytag mvwb765fw….The cleaning procedure worked great!!!….however, I still had intermittent start up trouble…..So I took an eraser ( new, not an old golf pencil) worked heavily…..then followed up with alcohol……..I then bought a can of silicone lubricant (higher quality from Autozone) and squirted heavily the white lid latch…white part…I also squirted some on the connectors that I cleaned as mentioned above……..for good measure I squirted some of the silicone lube under each armpit for good measure (easy, joking hairbun) run and interrupted a drain and spin cycle several times…..in order to work in the silicone………..nine months ago…….never had a problem since.
