MVW7230HC1 Maytag Washer - Instructions

Replaced each hose. Did discover that either hose can be used for hot or cold water lines. No longer required to label hot and cold replacement hoses.

Watched a YouTube video.
Unplug machine. Hit the power button a couple times to release any electrical energy.
Remove 6? screws on the back behind the control panel. Once screws are out, pull metal cover away from control panel. No need to remove hoses.
Lifted lid of washer and pushed in and released control panel sprin ... Read more g clips. There is one on each side. Found this easier to do with my fingers than with a screwdriver.
Once these spring clips are released (pushed in or towards the back)you can close the lid and lift up on control panel and flip it upside down. The control board is now accessible.
Although the wiring harness plugs only fit one plug take a picture for a reminder before removing. This is also to keep the harness routed correctly.
Unplug connectors, they come off easy, if you're having trouble getting a clip to release then you may be manipulating it wrong. They are small and hard to see. Remove the tube and retaining screw.
Switch out control board, replace set screw, connectors and tube.
Replace control panel by hooking in the back of it and push down the front to engage the spring retainers.
Put the screws back in the rear and you're done.

Popped the cap , used a socket to unscrew the bolt (it was stripped so ended up having to cut off bolt) Took off old impellar and replaced, installed a new bolt, replaced Cap and it was fixed.

At first I had to position the washer so I could get access.. after having it positioned, I figured it out. Getting the clamp fastened, I was done.

Everything worked perfectly---thanks to the suggestion of your call center agent. She suggested that since the replacement door handles were no longer available, I should consider repainting them--it worked like a charm. Please tell her she was a life saver.
