<\/p>\n
Let’s get started.<\/p>\n
The diagnostic mode is a less-known but intelligent feature on the Maytag washer. It’s a self-test feature in most models of Maytag appliances. When used, it makes the troubleshooting process a smooth one.<\/p>\n
It’s one of the most accessible means of determining the problem with your machine. It’s a quick and overall check-up process on your washing machine that can assist in troubleshooting its problem.<\/p>\n
The diagnostic process gives more control and flexibility in solving your machine problem. When your washer runs into trouble, checking the part manually for faults or malfunctions can take time. You can sit back and relax while the diagnostic mode narrows down the problem source.<\/p>\n
It helps you test what is going wrong or what has gone wrong with your washer. When you enable it, it runs a myriad of tests on the crucial components of the machine. The test aims to check the overall working condition of each component and determine if there’s a problem anywhere.<\/p>\n
The test verifies all inputs to the control board of your machine so it can identify the problem source and direct you in the right direction.<\/p>\n
If it notices a problem with any part, it quickly prompts an error code to notify you of the malfunction. With the error code, you can now take the necessary steps to solve the problem accordingly.<\/p>\n
The diagnostic step assists you in troubleshooting your appliance, and it should be your first step when your machine stops working correctly.<\/p>\n
So how can you enable the self-test mode?<\/p>\n
The diagnostic mode is a quick and reliable automatic inspection process on your washer. When you notice any problem with your washer, before trying specific troubleshooting steps, you can use the diagnostic mode to detect the problem.<\/p>\n
Starting the diagnostic mode on the Maytag Bravos washer is a simple process. There are three different diagnostic modes, and you’ll need to pick the suitable one to save time. However, whichever one you want to run,\u00a0 you’ll need to plug in your machine and put it in standby mode.<\/p>\n
Below are the step-by-step instructions on how to enter the different types of diagnostic modes on the Maytag Bravos washer:<\/p>\n
This mode tests the machine with water cycles to scrutinize if all the primary washer functions are working effectively. You can enable it as follows:<\/p>\n
If the key press is done correctly, the machine will enter diagnostic mode. You can confirm if your machine is in diagnostic mode when all the indicator lights flash for about five seconds and the display screen shows “88”. If it doesn’t, try the process again.<\/p>\n
After the ” 88″ sign is displayed, the screen will show any saved fault codes. If there’s none, all indicator lights will go off for a few seconds, then come back on, and the screen displays “88” again. The automatic diagnostic test mode will now start after about five seconds.<\/p>\n
You can use the Power or Stop<\/strong> button to exit the diagnostic mode anytime.<\/p>\n The manual diagnostic mode will OFF all washer outputs and test them. You can activate it as follows:<\/p>\n If you don’t press the button within the five seconds interval, your machine will enter the automatic diagnostic mode.<\/p>\n However, if it enters the manual mode correctly, the machine will give a single beep, and the screen will display ID# and then 00. Afterward, the “add a garment” indicator light will flash.<\/p>\n You can use the main cycle selector to select the output you wish to run the test. You can also use the Start<\/strong> button to activate or deactivate any selected output.<\/p>\n This test mode will check the console indicators, selector knob, beeper, two-digit display, and user interface buttons. You can enable it as follows:<\/p>\n If the machine can’t enter diagnostic mode, press the power button and double-check the button you’re pressing. Ensure it is working correctly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s always frustrating when your washer stops working or malfunctions abruptly.
