Agitating and filling at some time in normal ring.
For model number MVWC6ESWW1
Hi Jeffery, thank you for the great question. If your washer fills and agitates at the same time, the water level switch has failed and is telling the timer that the unit has enough water in it to start agitating. We recommend replacing the sensor switch, part number PS11751047, to fix your issue. Good luck with this repair!
Washer leaving cloths wet, drains but leaves cloths very wet. The coupling seems worn, but still intact. Does spin and drain. Is this a sensor, or should I replace the coupling?
For model number MVWC6ESWW1
Hello Dan, Thank you for the question. If the appliance is draining but spinning slow and not spinning water from the clothes, I suggest starting with the worn coupling. Hope this helps!
Machine will not fill water on wash and rinse cylcle but will work the rest of the cycle..where can i get parts
For model number MVWC6ESWW1
Hi Ronald,
Thank you for your question. If the washer is not filling with water, there are some parts that you will need to check to see which one is causing the issue. You will need to check the lid switch, the knob insert and the sensor switch. You will need to test the electronic parts with a multi-meter. Here is a link to one of our videos on YouTube that you may use as a general reference on how to use one, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWC44fHn0As. For more information on how to test these parts, click on the Appliance Repair link on our website and on the next page that comes up click on the washer icon. When the next page comes up, you will be provided with a symptoms list. Choose the "Not filling with water" symptom and the information will come up for you. For the knob insert, inspect it visually to see if it is installed correctly and to see if it is damaged. We hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day.
Spin cycle work but does not remove water, laundry is still wet
For model number MVWC6ESWW1
Hello Loren, thank you for your question. We have researched your model and found that there are multiple issues that cause this problem. The most likely culprit for a washer that spins but still turns out soaked clothing is a drain hose problem. It could be clogged, kinked, or even positioned incorrectly. If the hose checks out, you now need to look deeper into the drain assembly of your washer. Start with the easiest option, the drain filter. The drain filter, sometimes also called a coin trap, helps prevent items from entering your drain pump, causing damage or clogs. If the filter has checked out, the next step is to check the drain pump. It may have become clogged with debris itself or it could be malfunctioning and needs to be replaced. You can check the drain pump by removing the drain hose as well as the back panel of your washer. You can inspect it for debris, which should be obvious to see. If you find no blockages, you will want to test the drain pump to make sure it is actually working properly. Over time, the belt that helps spin the washer drum can become stretched and will affect how fast the washer can spin. If the belt is stretched out, it can slide around during the cycle and will not allow the washer to reach the speeds that it needs to in order to remove all excess water. We hope that helps!

The last load left the clothes very wet. To start a new load on any cycle (Regular, Heavy Duty, Casual) the unit begins with agitating and seems to be cycling water. The spin cycle seems to work, but seems very slow. Clothes are soaked and some water is left in the bottom. What causes agitating without filling and the spin not to work as it should?
For model number MVWC6ESWW1
Hello Otter, thank you for contacting us. Based on our research, the issue is most probably with the timer. We would suggest replacing the timer, part number PS11750935, to solve the problem. It controls the electrical components and the duration of the washer's cycles. Glad to be of assistance!
If you load a washing machine unevenly, it will spin out of balance. But our washer seemed to make noise during the spin cycle regardless of how the load was distributed. I suspected that the suspension or balancing springs were getting tired, and ordered a replacement set.
First I disconnected the washer from the water and power supply, then I laid it on its back.
The tub rested on the back of the washer, making two of the three suspension springs relax, and they were pretty easy to pull out with pliers. After the first two were out, I had to support the tub with a couple 2x4s to relax the third suspension spring.
Installation was the reverse of removal - install the lower suspension spring, remove the 2x4s, then install the two other suspension springs.
The tub balancing spring was easy to replace, and probably wasn't the cause of the problem.
With $25 in parts and about 15 minutes, my washer spins much more quietly.
I removed the two screws on the back of the control panel. The control panel then flips back. The switch is on the left side. To remove the switch, I first detached the wire to the control panel and unscrewed the grounding wire. The new switch drops right in. I had a little trouble getting it in until I realized the washer lid had to be open. A little awkward but once it's in you can shut the lid and then I reattached the wire from the control panel and screwed in the grounding wire. Pretty easy. $20 for the part (with shipping) and 15 minutes. Way cheaper than a repairman.
Took some online research to figure out how to get the cabinet off. Once inside I fitted the wear pads which were a breeze to remove using a knife blade to pry them up and removing them using the screwdriver. The springs were replaced one by one using strong fingers. The machine went through the spin cycle without any rocking or self-destruct noises.
