A Kensington homeowner called when their Maytag washer wouldn’t operate properly due to clothing jammed under the agitator. We found several items had worked their way underneath, preventing normal wash cycles from completing.
The Problem
The customer reported clothing jammed under agitator, which was preventing the washer from running through its cycles normally.
Diagnosis
Upon inspection, we found clothing and several coins lodged under the agitator assembly. The agitator itself appeared to be in good shape with no damage from the obstruction.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: None required
- Work performed: Remove the clothing and several coins from under the agitator
- Result: Issues resolved and operation is normal
Is It Worth Repairing?
This MVWB765FE2 is a solid Maytag top-load washer that’s built to last. When the issue is simply items getting stuck under the agitator, it’s definitely worth a service call rather than replacement. These machines can handle years of reliable service with proper care.
Maintenance Tips for Maytag Washers
- Always check pockets thoroughly before loading clothes to prevent coins and small items from falling into the mechanism
- Don’t overload the washer — clothes need room to move freely during the wash cycle
- Run a cleaning cycle monthly with Maytag washer cleaner or white vinegar to prevent buildup
