Hi Mike, thank you for reaching out. The water inlet valve, part number PS12348013, might be malfunctioning, preventing water from entering the machine. It is responsible for filling the washing machine tub with water during the wash and rinse cycles. You may need to replace it to fix the issue. We hope this solves your problem!

Sheets keeping getting caught in the slot between the washer arm and tub. How do I remove the sheets
For model number MVWB766FW0
PartSelect logo
Hello Rhonda, Thank you for the question. We suggest removing the Agitator. At the top of the agitator there is a cap, once the cap is removed you will see the bolt. Remove the bolt and pull up on the agitator to remove. Check the Fins and the agitator for damage that would be catching the Sheets. We hope this helps!

Keep searches simple. Use keywords, e.g. "leaking", "pump", "broken" or "fit".
Loud grinding noise when the washer was in use.
1.) disconnect power to your washer. Turn off water supply and disconnect from the washer.

open the washer top and remove plastic cap from the wash plate

2.) using 7/16 socket, remove bolt from the wash plate. If you can't remove it with a socket , I recommend using impact wrench.

3.) remove wash plate ( you might need to spray penetrating oil or wd40 inside the bolt hole to loosen it.
Check to make sure the wash plate gear grooves are not worn down, if they are, replace it.

4.) using your Maytag specific spaner nut wrench, remove the spaner nut from the shaft of the gear case. This should be right underneath where the wash plate was. If you can't turn it by hand , use a rubber mallet or hammer to encourage it.

5.) some people remove the wash basket at this point. I don't think it is necessary.

6.) close your washing machine. Tape the top closed to keep it from flying open. Tilt your washer back and prop it up where you have access to the underside of the washing machine.

7) remove motor rotor bolt and pull rotor off of the motor.

8.) disconnect the two wire connectors that supply power to motor. using a socket, remove bolts that are keeping motor attached to the gear case.

9.) Now that the gear case is all the is remaining on the underside, you can remove the 4 bolts that are holding the gear case to the washer. Now try to pull gear case out.

10.) if gearcase will not pull out, lower washer back to upright position. Spray penetrating oil or wd40 around the shaft of the gearcase and allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes. Using a hammer, lightly tap on the shaft of the gearcase and it should now fall out. ( you might have to apply penetrating oil again, or apply more force with the hammer.

11.) reinstall motor to new gearcase. Insert new gear case to the washer. Reinstall bolts and reconnect power supply wires.

12. ReInstall spaner nut inside the washer, reinstall wash plate.

Broken lid frame at left hinge.
Raised lid to remove two Torx head screws from each hinge. Lid will then lift off of hinges. Installation of new lid was the reverse of the removal procedure. It is best to install one hinge to the lid by removing that hinge from the washer. The lid can then be installed by inserting that hinge into it's spot and then over the other hinge. Install the hinge screws into the second hinge and the job is complete. The lid now closes properly allowing the automatic lid lock to function properly.

Lid was broken at the hinge and would not stay closed
Removed the old lid by removing the two screws on both sides of the lid holding it to the hinge. Then pull upon the lid to remove. Slide the new lid back on the hinges being careful to slide in the right slot in the lid. Replace the screws through the lid into the hinges and your done
