A quick guide on troubleshooting issues with the Maytag Bravos washer
If you wash your clothes daily or are a regular dryer user, there will most likely come a time when your machine will need repair. Through the years, users have sought advice from Maytag® Bravos washer repair guide, and these troubleshooting solutions will help keep your Bravos working smoothly.
Spinning problems between cycles
Users of the Maytag® Bravos washers often face this problem where the machine stops moving after a wash cycle. Sometimes, when the washer is moving but does not move to the spin cycle, it is because of the locking lid switch. If this does not engage completely, the washer will not reach its high spin mode.
Excess Lint in the Maytag® Bravos Washer
A very common question asked in the Maytag® Bravos washer repair guide is why do the washers not collect the lint instead of recirculating it through the laundry. This problem arises since the new machines lack the lint filter and the high-efficiency washers use lesser amounts of water. This can result in the lint not being cleaned properly from the clothes.
However, to solve this problem, it is recommended to use only two teaspoons of high-efficiency detergent per load. This will leave a residue on clothes and is sticky enough to hold onto lint and hair on the clothes. To help the fibers relax and release lint and hair, add 1 cup of distilled vinegar to the rinse cycle. The vinegar can also be added to the fabric softener dispenser for easier use.
Maytag® Bravos fabric softener dispenser issues
Another frequently asked question in the Maytag® Bravos washer repair guide is why the fabric softener dispenser always leaves a thick residue on the clothes. This problem might occur due to kinked water lines or because these lines become clogged due to water flow problems.
You can choose any solution from the following list:
- Try to remove the unit for cleaning.
- Use heated distilled white vinegar and an old toothbrush and give the dispenser a good scrubbing.
- Shake the bottle of fabric softeners well as they can separate and thicken over time.
- Using 50% fabric softener and 50% water each time.
- If the tips mentioned here do not solve the issue, you may require the assistance of an expert technician.
