We serviced two washers at a home on Lux Road Northwest in Minerva, OH. One bounces around, the other won’t drain. Our diagnosis revealed one needed calibration while the other required a lid switch replacement.
The Problem
The customer reported issues with two washers. One bounces around during operation, and the other won’t drain properly.
Diagnosis
After examining both units, we found the Maytag washer needed calibration to resolve the bouncing issue. The Whirlpool washer required a lid switch replacement to restore proper drainage function.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: No parts recorded for this service call
- Work performed: Calibrated the Maytag washer; diagnosed lid switch issue on Whirlpool unit
- Result: Maytag calibration completed; Whirlpool diagnosed for future lid switch replacement
Is It Worth Repairing?
The MVWC200XW2 is a reliable Maytag top-load washer that typically responds well to calibration adjustments. For washers of this age and quality, calibration issues and lid switch replacements are routine maintenance that extends the appliance’s useful life significantly.
Maintenance Tips for Maytag Washers
- Run a cleaning cycle monthly with Maytag washer cleaner to prevent buildup and maintain calibration
- Check that the washer is level on all four corners to prevent bouncing and vibration issues
- Avoid overloading the drum, which can throw off the internal calibration and cause excessive movement
