Rated 5 out of 5 by Hiking life from Best washer After 10+ years our washer died. Since we have had really good luck with Maytag we decided to go with another Maytag washer and dryer set. We didn't realize how worn-out our old washer was until we used this one. Our clothes were so much brighter and whiter than ever before. Laundry manuals and free pdf instructions.

Automatic Diagnostic Test Mode:
Maytag Washer Bravos Xl Manual
1. The washing machine needs to be plugged in and in stand by mode with all indicators off.
2. Choose any one button on the washer's console except Power, Start, or Stop. Press/Hold 3 Seconds - Release 3 Seconds - Press/Hold 3 Seconds - Release 3 Seconds - Press/Hold 3 Seconds.
3. If the diagnostic test mode has been successfully entered, all of the indicator lights will glow for five seconds with 88 on the time display. (If it didn't work try #2 again One one thousand…Two one thousand…Three one thousand)
4. If there are any saved fault codes they will be displayed. If there are no save fault codes all indicator lights will turn off for a moment then back on with 88 displayed and the automatic diagnostic test mode will begin in five seconds.
5. If you are unable to enter the diagnostic test mode, press the power button and verify that the button you were trying to use operates properly to program the washer's cycle function. There may be something wrong with that function button. Find another button on the control that appears to work and try to enter the diagnostic mode with that button.

Opening the washing machine lid should cause the 'Clothes Clean' or 'Done' indicator lights to turn off. Closing the lid should cause the 'Clothes Clean' or 'Done' indicator lights to turn on.
Lid Lock Test:
Note: Lid must be closed when doing this test or an invalid button noise will be heard.
To Lock the lid press and release the '2nd Rinse' or 'Extra Rinse' button, the door lock light will come on. To unlock the lid press the '2nd Rinse' or 'Extra Rinse' button a second time, the door lock light will turn off.
Motor Tests:
Note: Water should be covering the wash plate or agitator vanes to allow the inner basket to float and disengage from the basket hub for all motor tests. See Manual Water Valve Diagnostic Tests. Problems with any of the motor tests are most often related to something lodged between the inner and outer wash baskets creating friction, bad wire connections, broken wires, or control problems.
Rotor Position Sensor (RPS):
The three rinse and spin indicators are used to detect the three rotor position sensors located on the washing machine's motor stator. As the inner wash basket rotates so does the rotor. Lift the lid and manually rotate the inner tub as the tub turns these three lights should cycle on and off indicating that the RPS is correctly detecting the position and speed of the rotor.
Spin:
Note: to activate the spin the lid must be closed and the lid lock engaged. See Lid Switch Tests. If the lid is not closed or locked an invalid key beep will sound. Also the tub must be floating for this test to work properly.
To start the washing machine spinning at 23 rpm press the 'Spin Speed', 'Water Level', or 'Load Size buttons. Press the same button again to accelerate to 530 rpm. Press the same button again to accelerate to 1000 rpm. Pressing the same button a fourth time will turn off the motor.
