This video walks through how to get your Maytag Bravos Washing Machine to start its self-diagnostic test. This can be useful to help you determine what is wrong with it. It is a pre-configured routine that takes about 5 minutes to complete, where the washer steps through all of its functions. If it runs into a problem, or cannot complete a step, then it will stop and give you the code indicating which step was the problem.
Here, we go through how to start the self-test and what each step means.
These are the series of steps:
C0 is slow spin mode.
C1 is where the hot and cold-water valves open.
C2 is when the cold water and bleach valves open.
C3 is when the hot water and fabric softener valves open.
C4 is where the hot and cold water and detergent valves open.
C5 was a pause for mine.
C6 is the agitator.
C7 is the circulation pump.
C8 is the drain pump.
And C9 is the end.
If it stops at any one of these steps, that means there’s your problem. For example, if the self-test stops on C8, it means that your drain pump is bad, and it cannot pump out the water.
