Maytag Washer Repair – Massillon, OH (MVWC6ESWWI)

A Maytag washer in Massillon was running water with the agitator on all cycle selections. The agitator began running immediately on any cycle, indicating faulty sensors were sending incorrect signals to the control system.

The Problem

The customer reported that water runs with agitator in all selections. This meant the washer couldn’t properly control its fill and agitation cycles, with the agitator starting immediately regardless of which wash setting was chosen.

Diagnosis

Testing revealed the agitator began running immediately on any cycle. This pointed to defective temperature selection and pressure sensing components that were providing incorrect feedback to the washer’s control board, causing it to bypass normal cycle timing.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: WPW10248240 — temperature selected/pressure switch and door latch sensor
• Work performed: Installed new temperature selected/pressure switch, then returned to install door latch sensor
• Result: Washer now operates properly on all cycle selections

Is It Worth Repairing?

This Maytag top-load washer is from their commercial-grade line and built for durability. Sensor replacements like this are common maintenance items that restore full functionality without major expense, making repair the smart choice over replacement for most households.

Maintenance Tips for Maytag Washers
