Screen displays "FOE7 Washer must be empty remove contents" I removed contents and pushed start and seems to be going through a wash cycle without items.
For model number MVW6230HW3
PartSelect logo
Hi Geoff, Thank you for reaching out. The A "FOE7" error code indicates that the washer detected clothes while attempting to run a "Clean Washer" cycle. The washer is saying there is a load present when it should be empty for a clean washer cycle. It will then run the empty load to clean the appliance. We hope this is what you were looking for!

For model number MVW6230HW3

Hello Joe, thank you for getting in touch. Make sure the hose is attached to a hot-water supply and the valve is fully open. Also, make sure there are no kinks or blocks. Listen for the “click” or a faint sound when the cycle starts. If you hear nothing, or the valve is visibly stuck, replace the water-inlet valve, part number PS16730916, to fix the issue. We hope this helps.

I need a censor part that broke on my top washer. The message says, close the lid with red light. It will not wash, because the censor clip or part is broke. What part do I need to fix my washer?

Help. My washer has a high pitched squealing/sqeaking noise a little when the machine agitates but a lot when it spins. What part might be the problem?
For model number MVW6230HW3

Hi Matt, thank you for contacting us. Ensure that the drive belt has not been damaged. If it is fine, the issue could be with the bearings. They come attached to the gear case, part number PS16730207. You may need to replace it to fix the issue. We hope this solves your problem!

Had a OOB problem which l thought that l had corrected but now am getting a code of F7E1. After attempting to start a cycle the washer turns on for a few seconds but then shuts off with a washing complete message
For model number MVW6230HW3
PartSelect logo
Hi Richard, thank you for reaching out. This code indicates a speed sensing error; the motor cannot achieve the correct speed for the cycle selection. We would recommend checking the control board, part number PS16745140. A malfunctioning control board can fail to send proper signals to the motor or misinterpret feedback. You may need to replace it to fix the issue.

Noise on bottom of Washer louder as time went on. 1 1/2 years
Well, first investigated and found loose nut on drive clutch. First take off the two screws with nut drive then cover off using a screwdriver blade to snap off the cover. Then socket ratchet to take off the nut on drive clutch. take off belt by slowly rotating the drive gear. two screws that hold the electronics to the upper drive clutch and put aside, so you can snap off the cover for drive clutch on upper part with screwdriver and off the parts come and install whole unit back as took it apart. Line up the new upper clutch so that is position as was before. (Using parts diagram helps a lot as www. partsselect.com has for you or Maytag.com.) Then put the electronic part board back on and the gear and nut. Make sure it is tight by several attempts to make sure it's snugged up good and then slowly roll belt back on the pulley and motor drive. Put your cover guard back on with two screws and done.

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.
