Grinding or croaking noise in washer
What you want to do is first unplug the machine. With that done have someone tilt the machine backwards while you lay in front of it to look. You'll notice a white foam like bottom, which you want to pull out. Watch as you doing so because the next step. There is a nut that screws onto the bolt that the pulley slides on to. Its a manufacturer defect, and when I was doing first year warranty for whirlpool I'd get about three a week. My solution to it. Get the belt around the pulley, push the pullley all the way up to where its supposed to sit, get some lock-tight and place on the bolt, not too much, and put your nut back on and ratchet it tightly. I've had no recalls using this method. If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at

Maytag MVW7232HW0 top load, error codes and condensation on control panel when using hot watet
1. ERROR CODES: CHECK THE USER MANUAL FOR THE WASHER TO IDENTIFY THE SPECIFIC ERROR CODES BEING DISPLAYED. THIS WILL HELP YOU PINPOINT THE ISSUE AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION, SUCH AS RESETING THE WASHER OR CONTACTING CUSTOMER SUPPORT.
2. CONDENSATION ON CONTROL PANEL: IF YOU'RE EXPERIENCING CONDENSATION ON THE CONTROL PANEL, IT COULD BE DUE TO THE HOT WATER TEMPERATURE OR THE HUMIDITY LEVEL IN THE ROOM. TRY USING WARM WATER INSTEAD OF HOT WATER TO SEE IF THAT REDUCES THE CONDENSATION. YOU CAN ALSO TRY INCREASING VENTILATION IN THE ROOM TO HELP DISPERSE THE MOISTURE.
Maytag top loading washer with UL code
Leveling: Ensure the washer is properly leveled. An unbalanced load can trigger the UL (unbalanced load) code. Use a level to check if the machine is sitting evenly on the floor.
Load Distribution: Make sure the clothes are evenly distributed in the drum. An imbalanced load can cause the UL code to appear.
Calibration: Some models have a calibration mode that can be accessed through the control panel. Running a calibration cycle might help the washer to detect load balance more accurately.
Electronics: There could be an issue with the control board or wiring harness. Inspect these components for any visible damage or loose connections.
Professional Service: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it may be time to consult with a professional appliance repair technician who can diagnose and fix the problem more accurately. They may have specialized tools and knowledge to pinpoint the exact cause of the UL code.
Where is the counterweight in my Maytag washer model MVWC565FW2
If yours is a top loader it will mounted near the drum inside the machine. It will be a shaped block of concrete curved to sit close the actual drum. The most like places will be at the front, nearest you when your putting clothes in it, at about 3/4 of the way off the floor. It could also be in a similar place at the back of the machine.
