Maytag Washer Model Guides — Complete Models Guide

Ten Maytag washer guides, and the prefix splits the hub in half. The MHW5630, MHW6630 and MHW8630 are front-loaders with a door boot, a lock and a drain filter. The MVW4505, MVW5430, MVW6200, MVW6230, MVW7230, MVW7232 and MVWB765 are top-loaders, where the shift actuator, the lid lock and the basket drive generate most of the complaints that bring people to a guide.

Each guide starts from the code or the refusal and works outward, cheap and reachable first: filter and drain hose, pump, lock, pressure sensing, then control. The top-load pages give the shift actuator its own treatment deliberately, because a machine that fills, drains and then will not agitate reads as an electronic fault and turns out to be a mechanical one far more often than not.

No gas and no refrigerant — water and line voltage in one cabinet. Unplug rather than trusting a paused cycle, and drain before opening a filter that sits below the water line. On the MHW front-loaders, a rumble climbing with spin speed or play at the drum rim raises the bearing and tub-seal decision, which is a different question from the one you started with.
