In case you missed it I recently recorded a video about having to replace our washing machine. I have added the link below in case you want to catch up on the washer saga.
Replacing A Washer Under A Lemon Warranty During A Pandemic
• Replacing A Washer Und...
In this video, I am pleased to share with you the features and demonstration of our new Maytag MVW6200KW 5.5 Cu. Ft. washer that was provided as a replacement for our third and final warranty claim on our GE 4.9 cu. ft. washer - Model GTW485BMMWS.
This video is a little longer than usual but I hope you bear with me and watch all the way to the end as I run a load of laundry through to explain the features and give you samples of how it sounds and works while cleaning your clothes. So far I am impressed with this new washer but will reserve judgement for now until I see how it holds up over time. Stay tuned for a review of this unit once I have had some time to use it and check out all the different features.

I just got a new Maytag, MVW6200KW3. Two men from Costco dropped it off, hooked it up, and took out the old washer. I was actually afraid to use it! This is only the 3rd clothes washer I've bought in my 80 years! I started with a wringer washer in 1962, but each time we moved, we inherited the washer that was left behind. I've read the instructions, and now I've watched your informative video, and I feel like I am ready to try my first load. Thank you for your help!

@SusanMillard 8 күн бұрын

Thank you for watching and for your encouraging words of support. I am glad you found my video helpful. You can do this! Just remember that you don’t need to use the programmed cycles as they are. Lots of people complain about low water levels but you can always bump them up to medium or high levels after choosing a program cycle in order to use more water for the clothes. Just use your best judgement and trust yourself. Good luck with your new washer.

You have no idea how pleased I am to see your video! I went to Lowe's with a 4.2 cu. ft Maytag in mind but after many questions to the salesman and discussion with my husband, I selected the Maytag MVW6200KW 4.8 cu. ft. model. It has the same program board and the impeller instead of an agitator. It operates just like yours but is a little smaller tub. I was concerned that I made a poor choice but after watching your video review and reading some of the comments, I am relieved and looking forward to it's delivery. Since Lowe's had such good price incentives, we purchased the 5 yr protection plan also. Excellent video Susan. Thank you. And a big shout out to our Fairlawn, Ohio Lowe's salesperson, Dan. Your knowledge of the machines was especially helpful!

I chose to watch this video because my husband and I bought the washer and dryer a week ago, and I wanted to watch a video to make sure I was operating it correctly. Your video confirmed I was. However, the washer was very noisy. For some reason the water would not drain from the wash cycle, and the washer after timing the dryer it kept stopping. We contacted Loews where we purchased it, and they said they would replace it. I was disappointed because Maytag has a great reputation. We had a Samsung washer and dryer, and it was horrible. I repair man would not even fix anymore. He advised us to buy new.

@dannykeating5281 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for sharing. Just an FYI. i purchased a Maytag washer model MVWB765FW3 less than two years ago which is now being replaced under my extended warranty at PC Richards. The washer was deemed unrepairable because parts were unavailable due to COVID. It was never loaded even close to its capacity and the gearbox/transmission became gradually louder and louder over the course of ownership. Whats crazy is no matter what size the tub is, the gearbox/transmission is virtually the same in many of these washers regardless of brand. They are essentially loaded with plastic parts that wear out prematurely. Unfortunately washers today don’t hold up like they use to and we now live in a “replacement” market. It just sad one spends close to $1000 dollars on these appliances and the have very little shelf life.

@SusanMillard 2 жыл бұрын

Hi, thanks for watching. I totally agree with you about the replacement society we live in. Our previous laundry set was used heavily and worked for 14 years. They were replaced by a GE set and the washer only lasted a little over a year before it was replaced under lemon warranty with this Maytag. The more electronic fancy do dads on the control panel and plastic parts that wear out prematurely sure do cheapen the quality. It is a shame - I would rather repair than replace at the prices you find these days. If the companies insist on spewing out these cheap machines then I think the prices should come way down to reflect that. Thanks again for your comment and your viewpoint. :)

We bought a brand new Maytag 6 months ago and it doesn't have all the digital things these video show. It's a terrible machine and even set to deep water wash only puts 3 inches of water in the machine and there's a foot of laundry that's damp sticking above the water level. This machine is pitiful adding 5 gallon buckets of water by hand is tiresome it still doesn't completely solve the problem. 7 months into ownership and they already want to start racking up a repair bill. This is pitiful, dishonest, shameful and may I repeat pitiful !

This video was quite helpful. We just purchased the exact same washer and it's matching dryer from Lowe's and my husband installed it 3 days ago. So far I am pleased with it. I agree, it does seem to get the clothes really clean. I'm sure hoping it gives us many years of service and no problems. We did purchase a 5-year Lowe's protection plan because although my husband is very handy to fix things, he is not comfortable working on anything that's run by a computer!

@SusanMillard 2 жыл бұрын

Glad it was helpful! Purchasing an extended warranty is a great idea. We have a two year extended warranty on this washer to match when our dryer warranty runs out. I agree about machines run by computer they are quite often more involved than the standard manual old school ones. I will cross my fingers for both of us to get long running machines with no issues for many years to come. 👌😎

I hate this machine. It constantly gets unbalanced and then to unlock the lid you have to turn it off. When you restart it, it starts from step 1 and washes all over again. Hate it. Not saving any money by washing loads more than once. Hate it.

@SusanMillard 2 жыл бұрын

Sorry to hear you have trouble with your machine. I have not had many unbalanced issues with our machine yet. Is it under warranty? I would suggest maybe something's not quite right with the way it balances. Is it on a level floor? I would imagine that might interfere with balance if it is not level. Still enjoying my washer and have not had any issues since we bought it after almost a year (in May it will be a year). Hope these ideas lead you to a solution for the issues with your Maytag. Thanks for watching and for your comment.😁

@racheallayhee9797 Жыл бұрын

According to her video if things get off balance you should be able to push the pause button which will unlock the lid allowing you to rebalance the items. Once finished balancing you then push the play button & the cycle should resume wherever it left off. Hope this helps.

Thanks, Susan. The printed directions included with the washer were very confusing and left out clear step by step directions. This was most helpful to watch you actually go through the process. My model has a fill button inside the drum by the fill drawer. I am still unclear exactly how to use that feature.

@SusanMillard 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you Robbie, for watching and leaving me such a beautiful compliment.If I understand the fill button you refer to, mine doesn’t have one, from things I have heard from others- that fill button is used when you wish to soak clothes without triggering a cycle yet. So you would add the soaking agent (vinegar/bleach/other cleaner) then use the fill button and add your clothes. Again, I don’t have that button so this is based on what I have heard. I hope that helps. Once soaking is done just activate the drain/spin cycle then wash according to the proper cycle. 😊👍🏻

@SusanMillard 5 ай бұрын

Hi, thanks for watching and for your excellent question (and one I get often). I don't always let it sense the load to add what it considers enough water. If the load is getting bigger I will just go ahead and set the water level to medium or high. That way I don't run into the not even getting wet issue. A small load is fine to sense for water but anything a little bigger means I just set it myself. Just because it CAN sense the load and add what it considers enough water doesn't mean it should! 😉Hope this helps.

The machine gets clothes very clean, I am happy that way, but does anyone know what I am doing as my “operator error”?

Thanks for sharing. I just got this washer and found the manual lacking a lot of information. When do you add liquid bleach?

@SusanMillard 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching and for your question. The bleach goes in the corner port when you are loading the machine. You add your detergent and liquid softener if you use that in the drawer at the back of the tub and add the bleach in the corner close the lid and set your program and push go. The machine will release the bleach in with the water as it fills. Hope that helps.😁

Does the machine fill up in the rinse cycle ? can I change the setting for it to fill the machine full of water for wash and rinse? I'm old school.

@SusanMillard Жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching and for the great question. The levels of the wash and rinse water depends on the setting type I believe everything except the Quick Wash all allow for the water level to be set to maximum. Quick wash is just that quick so the drum spins while water is pumped in and goes through the clothes and drains. For all the other settings you can manually choose the water level to vary it from the preset levels and temperatures. Hope this helps. 😊

Does anyone know a way to skip over the wash cycle to do a “rinse and spin”? There’s only drain and spin. Sometimes I feel like my machine gets stuck in the wash cycle and then I have to restart it. Drain it. And use the wash cycle without detergent as the rinse cycle.

@SusanMillard 2 жыл бұрын

I know on my model there is the option of extra rinse which you could click on before starting your load. it would then wash, rinse, drain, rinse again and drain before ending. I sometimes use it if I have a large load and the clothes are more dense to be sure I get all the soap out. Just an idea. Hope it helps.

@PilotVBall 2 жыл бұрын

Mine was delivered two weeks ago. I got it with the agitator although switching to the impeller just requires removing the agitator stem. I am not completely impressed. The capacity is huge but it doesn't allow for that much to be put in it. It lacks power to wash all clothes properly. Sheets will stay put and not move. The detergent dispenser lacks the capacity to properly store detergent to wash a full load. Test this by opening the washer and rubbing your fingers in the water. If the rubbing doesn't feel soapy then there's not enough detergent. Maytag designers obviously don't do their own laundry.

@SusanMillard 2 жыл бұрын

I have the opposite experience with my Maytag. I find the capacity to be more than adequate and that is does clean clothes thoroughly. I have used mine long enough now to know that I can do a rather large load and it still moves the clothes around to get to them all during the course of one cycle. Loading these machines requires a different loading technique you drop the items in evenly around the centre. The agitator system requires that you drape the clothes around the agitator. These are also High Energy Efficient machines and do not require a detergent that suds up in order to clean the clothes. The detergent dispenser does have the capacity to store enough detergent if you are using the correct detergent type. My washer is only used with liquid detergent as this reduces buildup in pipes and hoses as well as wear and tear on the fabric of clothes that powdered detergent tends to amass. Thanks for your comment and for watching but I think perhaps you may have gotten a defective washer - which is totally possible in today's mass production society.

I purchased this machine last month for my mom(in her 70s). What a disaster thus far? The drum constantly hits the machine when in the rinse cycle. I called the Maytag tech. Said it was the hose that was just hitting the machine and to just bracket the hose to the wall. Did it . And off course it’s the same. The drum continue to bang on the machine. The drum is loose and wobbly by design. I would stay away from this model of Maytag .

Hello Susan- Thanks for the video. I purchased this machine and have been enjoying it. I am needing to do a presoak and I can't figure out how to fill the tub with water without running an actual cycle. Some models have an interior water faucet button, but I can't find one on this machine. I am unable to speak with an actual person at Maytag to ask this question. Do you know if it's possible to fill the tub with water so I can soak my clothing in vinegar water? Thanks so much, Jennifer

@SusanMillard 2 жыл бұрын

Ok, thanks for the question Jennifer. All I can think of doing is to start it up as if it is an actual cycle, set the water level to high and add your vinegar water instead of detergent. When the tub is full of water shut it off and soak your clothes for the time you want. When ready to wash simply switch to drain and spin. Once water is emptied out shut it off then turn on again to set a wash cycle of your choice and add detergent etc. Just an idea, hope it helps.

Does the cold water have to be hooked up

@thelionsclub4912 Жыл бұрын

Are these top loaders also available with heating rods. I've always wanted a US top loader. Maytag has an online shop in Germany. I see that you Americans all have cold water and hot water connections. In Europe we only have cold water and our front loaders heat the water to the desired temperature and maintain that temperature. 68°F, 86°F, 140°F, 194°F Because of the chaotic government in Germany and the rising gas and electricity prices, I'm considering that my next washing machine will be a US top-loader, so I heat the water in large pots on the stove and pour it into the top-loader. But these US top loaders should have heating elements, at least to keep the temperature. I would be happy if you could give me information about this. Greetings from Germany.

Hello Linda, I will do everything exactly like this lady did in the video first. Start of adding your detergent and softener and start of with the bulky cycle because it's gonna start your water level on High automatically.. Select Normal cycle. .then select your temp..hot or cold or warm...then hit start and watch the four lights at the top goes across and you will see the lock signal on and it's going to start your 1hour long cycle. 30min for Quick wash and 1hr for Normal cycle. I will probably always use the bulky cycle in my household because I always have alot of clothes to wash...lol
