Questions and answers
Washer will not cycle from wash, just keeps washing
The Maytag MVWC565FW2 washer may not cycle from wash and keep washing due to several possible causes:
1. Lid Not Closed – The washer will not start or fill if the lid is open. Ensure the lid is properly closed.
2. Cycle Paused or Stopped – If the washer was paused using the Start/Pause button, it may still be spinning. The lid will not unlock until the basket stops spinning, which can take several minutes.
3. Lid Left Open for More Than 10 Minutes – If the lid remains open for too long, the washer may pump out water before finishing the cycle. Ensure the lid stays closed during operation.
4. Incorrect Detergent Usage – If using a single-dose laundry packet, ensure it is placed in the washer basket before adding clothes, not in the dispenser, to ensure proper dissolving.
Checking these factors can help resolve the issue and allow the washer to complete its cycle.

Does not cycle, stays on wash
The Maytag MVWC565FW2 may not cycle and stay on wash due to an improper water supply. Ensure both hot and cold water hoses are attached, water is flowing to the washer inlet valve, and both faucets are turned on. Check for clogged inlet valve screens and kinks in the hoses that may restrict water flow. Additionally, verify that the washer is properly plugged into a grounded 3-prong outlet and not using an extension cord.

machine starts to fill then stops and is stuck in the sensing mode and will not advance
The Maytag MVWC565FW2 washer may start to fill, then stop and get stuck in sensing mode due to issues with the water supply or electrical connections. Possible causes include:
1. Water Supply Problems:
- Both hot and cold water faucets must be turned on.
- The inlet valve screens may be clogged.
- Inlet hoses may be kinked, restricting water flow.
2. Electrical Supply Issues:
- The power cord must be plugged into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
- Extension cords should not be used.
3. Auto Sensing Mode Behavior:
- The washer determines load size before filling. If the lid is opened for more than 10 minutes, the cycle cancels, and water is pumped out.
Checking and fixing these issues may help resolve the problem.

My Maytag with an agitator spins so fast, clothes come out very dry and wrinkly. Most of the wash cycles don’t fill high enough to get clothing completely wet. Again, not enough water to spin properly.
The Maytag MVWC565FW2 washer may spin clothes too dry due to its energy-saving controlled wash temperatures and auto-sensing water level. It uses cooler wash and rinse water temperatures than traditional washers and may not fill with enough water if the Deep Water Wash setting is not selected. Additionally, selecting the Normal cycle with Deep Water Wash results in auto-sensing of the water level, which may not provide as much water as expected. Using the Bulky/Sheets cycle or setting the Water Level knob to Deep Water Wash can help achieve a higher water fill.

washer out of balance in spin cycle
To fix a Maytag MVWC565FW2 washer that is out of balance during the spin cycle, follow these steps:
1. Check Load Distribution – Ensure clothes are evenly distributed in the washer basket. Load dry items in loose heaps around the basket.
2. Avoid Overloading – Do not tightly pack the washer, as this can prevent proper spinning.
3. Level the Washer – Ensure all four feet are in firm contact with the floor and locked in place.
4. Check Floor Stability – If the floor is uneven or sagging, place a 3/4" (19 mm) thick plywood section under the washer to reduce movement.
5. Use the Correct Cycle – Select a cycle with an appropriate spin speed for your load to prevent imbalance.
If the issue persists, refer to the installation instructions to confirm proper washer setup.
