MVWC400XW0 Maytag Centennial HE Washer has a very useful "drain & spin" cycle. I used this cycle when I loaded the washer so bad it was too unbalanced to spin out. Now it does not work as intended. My drain & spin cycle now fills with water, agitates, then drains and spins. any suggestions?

Sounds normal. Most machines do spit out a little water, rinse for a moment to loosen any trapped soap before they drain and spin.

Testimonial: "Actually it runs the rinse & spin cycle including sensing the load, filling and agitating the load then draining and spinning, whether I set it on rinse & spin OR drain & spin. The first 10 months I owned the washer, it actually pumped out the water then spinned - no rinse cycle. If it had done it from day one I would have thought it was just a quirk - that there really was only a rinse and spin. I only ran it when a full wash cycle had run, but hadn't spun out - every time it was because the load was too out of balance for the washers high speed spin cycle - the clothes were not soapy."

    Try resetting the service panel. 1.) With an empty washer- unplug the cord from your power source to the machine 2.) Cut the circuit breaker to the washer and leave it off for at least 10 minutes 3.) Turn the power back on the breaker and plug in your washer. It may not work but sometimes resets the sensors. Good luck.

I had the same problem and ended up replacing the control board which solved it.  Contact Westland Sales at 800-356-0766 ext. 5 for tech support.

SOURCE: Washer fills/agitates and stops prior to draining

If pump works fine or still pumps out water, then it is a timer malfunction. Replace the timer and you should be fine. To locate a part number for your timer, refer to www3.sears.com with the model number off your washer.

Maytag centennial washer won't drain and spin on any cycle but WILL on drain and spin

I think if it isn't draining on one cycle but is on another. I would try to narrow it down to the Main Control Board. If the pump was bad, it wouldn't drain at all, just spin on all cycles. A local appliance repair should have an replacement. Or order online.

Coninuosly repeats spin cycle, any suggestions how to remedy this? I have to manually cancel the cycle in order for the machine to stop recycling through spin

I had a Centennial washer on a service call doing this just the other day... After putting it trough diagnostics I found no errors and all the washer's mechanics tested okay. After resetting the control by putting it trough the diagnostics mode it continued to repeat cycles without restarting the washer.
  • Try running it through diagnostics and see what error codes are in the memory. (Guide is linked below)
  • What are the codes? do they give any more clues?
  • clear the codes and run a test cycle.
  • does it work?
  • if it checks out properly with the diagnostics it's probably a bad control board...
Maytag Centennial Washer Diagnostic Guide
If it does turn out to be the control try contacting Maytag (Whirlpool) for a parts concession... Whirlpool customer service guide is linked below.
Hope that helps! Good luck!

It definitely could be a clogged or bad pump. However, it's always a good idea to check for error codes before replacing a part...Especially expensive ones...

Maytag centennial washer - not draining on some settings

Check outlet hose for kinks or restrictions. Make sure the outlet hose is free to expel water at full volume. Make sure the outlet hose is not mounted to high. Check pump impellor has all it's vanes intact. Check for coins in all hoses & pump.

Why is Maytag Centennial 3.2 cu. ft. SuperSize Capacity Plus Top Load Washer shaking during spin cycle

check to make sure it is sitting level on the floor and one leg adjuster hasnt backed in making it shake. But even when you stick cloths in evenly they can bunch up during cycles.
