I was at Lowes 2 years ago and saw a Maytag washer on sale in the dented and dinged appliance aisle. I don't have the model number with me. It was sitting there... all lonely and abandoned because everybody wants the new lo-water washers that have an electronic brain in them. Not me. So nobody wanted this poor little Maytag, which had NO dents or scratches. Lowes had $350 on it and I asked to speak with a manager and got it for $275. What I LOVE about it is it does NOT have a darn chip or a computer brain in it to go bad (AS THEY WILL!). It's got the nice old rotary switch which will last forever. And it has an extra rinse cycle. Yum. I love two rinse cycles. And a Deep Water wash option--fill it up with water to the top. Love it.

Robere'
I believe that I may have the same washer or one very similar to it. It is a Maytag Centennial MVWC415EW, and this machine does have a control board. Maytag hasn't made a washer with an electro-mechanical control for at least 5 or more years now. The tip of for you that your washer has a control board is as Martin say's it has a Deep Water cycle. Also if you press a button to start it and there is a series of lights that light up along the bottom of the control panel during operation, it has a control board.
But don't despair, this is really a very good washer, and if you read the owners manual, and use it per instructions you should be very happy with it. Eddie | ||

You guys may be right--it sounds like you know more about these things than me. But... it was actually 4 years ago I bought it--so it might be possible it was an old stock washer at Lowes--it was definitely the last one they had in that type. Unfortunately I'm in Cal. on a job and the washer is in Missouri. Also... I am absolutely positive it does not have the row of lights across under the dial, and I also don't think it has the deep water option. I was looking at pictures of the Maytags online and hoping mine had the deep water option, because it sounded neat, but actually I'm not so sure it does. When I have used it, the main dial DOES sound and turn like an electro-mechanical dial. I will continue to hope it is what I think it is. But thanks for the input. I do appreciate it. If it is indeed computer controlled with chips and 'puter boards I might just have to come back to this Thread and eat crow.

If the dial has a "clickatiy" noise when you turn it and you can feel small clicks close together as you turn it, and you either pull or push the dial to start the washer, then I would say you are correct, its electro-mechanically controlled. And if it was really old stock 2 years ago its possible. Post a photo when you get home. Someone here will know for sure.
