I have an MVWC415EW that is 13 mo old and it is essentially the same as your machine. I haven’t noticed any problems with the drain and spin on large loads, but I do know that it does stop briefly during the spin sometimes and the restarts, but it has always done this. It kind of spins in stages, but has always worked flawlessly.
If you are concerned why not give Maytag a call, they may be able to help you or reassure you that there is no problem. I doubt that it is anything to worry about though, as long as the loads are getting spun out thoroughly and are clean. I wash just about everything on hot, high soil level for max wash time, using either the Power Wash or Deep Water cycles and every load is done in 50-55 mins. I might add that I have been very pleased with this machine, one of the best I’ve ever owned out of the 18 different washers I’ve owned since 1972.

that seems pretty much normal for the most part.....
these pumps are not a continuous cycle type, its like a pulsed, X amount of time 'on' and X amount of time 'off'.... and yeah, something like a blanket that holds a lot of water would be a culprit that may seem odd when washing.... theres also a reason for the so called pulsed spins, it allows the water to drop, and then starts up again, once a certain weight/strain on the motor is lifted, it will take off into higher speeds... maybe watch a few youtube vids, to see if yours operates like those, or something noticeable way off track.... |
