When starting a new load, the washer does a leveling process. Almost every time this happens, it makes a very loud, high-pitched squeal. Like sneakers on a basketball court - only louder and for a full second or more. It only does this once, at the start of a new load. Not at any other time in the cycle. Any idea what is going on? It's as though the brake is left partially engaged from the prior load.
For model number MVW6230HC0

Hi Bob, thank you for reaching out. Based on our understanding, we would recommend checking that the load is evenly distributed between both sides of the washer before setting up its cycle. If the issue persists, you may need to replace the drive belt, part number PS12578772. We hope that helps!

Hi Gary, thank you for contacting us. Based on our understanding, we would suggest checking the control board, part number PS16555299.

The Softener compartment does not empty
For model number MVW623OH
PartSelect logo
Hi Lois, thank you for contacting us. A softener compartment that does not empty is most often caused by a blockage in the dispenser. If it is fine, the issue could be with the dispenser drawer, part number PS11731635. You may need to replace it to fix the issue. We hope this sorts out your problem!

Washer won't drain and spin. stops before it gets to the cycle. If I put it on drain and spin nothing happens. Hose is not clogged. Have a pump coming today to try, If it isn't the pump what is the nest thing I should try?

Hello Alicia, thank you for the question. According to our research, we suggest checking the lid lock assembly, part number PS12731130. If this is fine, we recommend inspecting the drive pulley, part number PS10057144. If this is bad or broken, replace it. We hope this is helpful!

Keep searches simple. Use keywords, e.g. "leaking", "pump", "broken" or "fit".
Noise, grinding sounds. Wash tub stopped turning but motor and cycles kept functioning. Process of elimination, must be the clutch assembly.
Easy, just followed the repair video. Recommend also ordering the drive belt. Bought one locally during my repair.

Tab on door strike got broken off and washer would not operate without it.
Pushed in on door strike and rotated it counterclockwise, removed broken strike and installed new strike. NOTE: when removing the old strike (turning counterclockwise) it felt like it might break and/or was attached with an screw that I didn't see but it came right out.
