Good question! I wondered this too... But I just did this last week and I was successful... Lets see if you can be too.
First.. How old are your hoses? Are they getting stiff? Maybe time to invest in new ones... Especially the hot one... For heat makes these hoses age quicker.. And pick up a couple screen type hose washers for each end, if they are not already on your new hoses... Or if you are not changing hoses this time.
OK... Now you see how to turn off the water?
Turn it off and bleed the pressure off by attempting to fill the machine....
Now a pair of slip joint pliers helps to loosen the connector. . start at the supply valve end... See the screen... Right there in the end of the hose? Is it dirty, clogged? Or maybe even rusted and failed? Maybe you are glad you invested in the new hose? If so, just install the new hose. If not... Do you have access to compressed air? Can you take the hose to a friend and blow it out?. If not try removing the screen type hose washer... If you have to destroy it getting it out... You have new washers.. Install them... Likely there is one at each end.
Now... Before you hook it all back up... Can you blow air thru the hose easily? Then hook up the hoses to the water supply ends at the wall... Put the hoses in an empty bucket... Turn on the water valve... Do you get a real strong flow of water? If so.. You are ready to connect to the washing machine end also. Now does the machine fill up g fast again? What did you find? Let us know... We are here to help. MB

SOURCE: How do you select the load size on the Maytag

You do not select a load size, the washer detects the load sizes, then uses the amount of water etc.

When you hear a humming sound from the motor it means that the motor control is bad and should be replaced. If you still want to test the motor control then you can take it apart and test the motor before replacement. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.

Maytag bravos doesn't use enough water

see this causes and fix it.
God bless you
Water comes in very slow This is usually a water valve problem or an inlet screen blocked. 1st check your inlet screens of your water valve. Turn your house water valve off to the washer, undo the fill hoses and inside the water valve, you will see a silver screen. If the screen is filled with water deposits, clean it out and re-install into valve. Don't forget to check your fill hoses also, some hoses come with screens that also may be clogged. Your cold water valve usually clogs before the hot water valve, all that sediment settles in your hot water tank and not in the screens. If you are on a well system, your screens usually clog more often. If your screens are good, then most likely your water valve needs replacing.

How reset clean washer reminder on Bravos washer

This is just a factory setting that reminds you to clean the washer to avoid that musty smell. You can buy tablets called Affresh or other similar cleaners for washing machines. They sell these items at Target, Walmart, Lowes and Home Depot. You can also substitue 1 Cup of Bleach in the washer. Then once you add whatever solution you have decided to clean it with you simply select the wash cycle on the machine called "Clean Washer with Affresh" Once you have done this the light should go out. You can also reset this indicator light by pushing the button next to the light that says Reset clean washer reminder. Hope this helps!! :)
