Q: QuestionI really need to find a way to soak clothes in this washer. I've read all the Q&A but none of it seems to work. Has someone managed to get this to happen. I want to soak overnight.

Asked 8 years ago by RNJA.

• A:Answer i finally figured out a way to soak cloths over night ... After the washer is done filling up with water hit the pause button do not open lid the machine will stay paused walk away and return when your done soaking push pause button again and cycle will continue from where it was paused. This is the only way that I have found that allows you to soak your cloths. Do not leave the lid open or you will come back and find the washer empty.. Hope this helps ! ! !

Q: QuestionDoes the agitator move the clothes sufficiently to get it clean to your satisfaction? For those who previously had a no-agitator washer, are your clothes now cleaner with the agitator? Also, was your new Maytag delivered to you in an enclosed box?

Asked 9 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Agitator moves sufficiently, but very little water. Some clothing and bedding have been damaged due , I think, to the lack of water. I have always had an agitator washer, with lots of water, so clothes were always clean and well rinsed. No, my new Maytag It did not come in an enclosed box that I saw, unless it was unpacked on the truck. I am looking for a possible replacement. The washer is pretty to look at and has nice sounds, but still, I can't afford to have my clothing damaged.

Q: QuestionDoes this have a "soak" option? Does the tub drain if you open the lid and just let it sit, full of water?

Asked 9 years ago by chocoholic.

• A:Answer The machine turns off after a few minutes of not being in use, and it drains. I am still trying to figure out if there is a way around this for soaking.

Q: QuestionSome reviews have commented that this model is very quiet and some have complained that's it's very noisy. How to know if I should get this? I don't want a noisy machine.

Asked 9 years ago by Noise.

• A:Answer I've had it for almost a month. Think it's one of the noisiest machines I've ever heard. I have it in a small room that has tile on the floor so I put a rug down and that's helped a little. I also am having problems with soap scum being left on my dark clothes. I would definitely look at buying a different machine if I were you!

Q: QuestionMy MVWB765FW Maytag was purchased new in September of 2017. Six months later, it has started making a very loud, screeching/screaming noise during the spin cycle. I cannot imagine that the bearings will last long. Anyone else have this noise issue?

Asked 8 years ago by MikeB.

• A:Answer Yes, I have the same model, purchased in Nov. 2016 at Home Depot. Once per week I wash only a couple of small loads. The past two uses, the machine has suddenly started "squealing or screeching" during what seems to be the beginning and end of the spin cycle. Not sure if it's a braking mechanism, a pulley bearing or what, but it is very disappointing to have issues after only 16 months of use. After an "exploding" Samsung, I spent a lot of time researching for a good, dependable machine. I thought Maytag was it, up until now. It would be interesting to know how many others are experiencing this noise.

Q: QuestionIf I pause the washer WITHOUT opening the lid, can I leave it in this pause mode for an indefinite period of time? Or will the water drain out after a certain period of time, even though the lid isn't open?

Asked 9 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Yes you can leave it in pause mode and the water will not drain out.. Make sure you wait until the machine finishes filling up with water at the beginning of the wash cycle then hit the pause button do not open the lid. I walked away and returned the following morning and all the water was still in the machine I hit the pause button again and washer continued the cycle where it left off .... Hope this helps .

Q: QuestionCan I chose the speed of the spin cycle so clothes are not so dried out and wrinkled? Is there a slower spin?

Asked 9 years ago by savra.

• A:Answer Yes, there is a button to change spin speed, I tend to choose a slower speed and avoid "Max Extract" which is the fastest speed as my experience has been that this wears the bearing out faster meaning repairs (at over $250 a pop) more often.

Q: QuestionAt initial fill (not at rinse), what is the highest water level you get? A Maytag commercial says up to 14", but even our king comforter only got about 5" max at initial fill.

Asked 9 years ago by KC.

• A:Answer Yes 14" is the max. To get the most water possible use the bedding cycle with the deep fill option. This is also supposed to be the only rinse cycle that fills the tub with more water.

Q: QuestionWhen my washer sits idol, water periodically runs into the tub from up under the dispensers. Is this normal?

Asked 8 years ago by Abba.

• A:Answer This is my suggestion, as it is what I do. When I am done with the washer for the day, I carefully remove the dispenser tray. It always has residual water in it. I take it to the sink to empty and leave it upside down in the sink to dry. There is also some water left in the place where the dispenser comes out of so I dry it with a microfiber towel. It may take a few minutes but in the long run it will keep your washer from smelling moldy. It’s just the way it is, and this washer is so much better than the three (3) year old front loader I had to get rid of due to it smelling and my clothes smelling even though I took very good care of it.

Q: QuestionHow do I rinse only?

Asked 6 years ago by ZAB1.

• A:Answer Yes, you can rinse only. Set the washer to drain and spin with the knob, then on the right select extra rinse. It will run a rinse cycle only. I found this while researching it in the manual and online. Hope it helps.

Q: QuestionCan I wash a king size comforter in it?

Asked 8 years ago by Mako.

• A:Answer Yes, we have washed a king size quilt with no problems, but you do have to wash it alone as washing it with more will cause it to vibrate to the point of moving, because it is over loaded.
