Maytag Atlantis Washer Manual Remove Agitator From Washing
• 5911 Answers SOURCE: If this is a Maytag Performa or Atlantis model all you have to do is remove the center cap on the agitator by pulling on it and locate the agitator bolt underneath. Loosen the bolt, and the agitator should pull straight up. If this is a Maytag Dependable Care series there will be 1/4 inch screw along the side of the agitator towards the bottom. Remove this screw and the agitator will pull straight up. I hope this helps you.

PS If the problem is due to the build up of fabric softener, soak in some hot water to loosen it up. Fabric softener is essentially a form of liquid wax and it is common for it to accumulate and clog the dispenser in this manner. Periodic cleaning is recommended.

The Maytag MVWC565FW is part of the Washing machine test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, Washing machine models like the MVWC565FW are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below. Predicted reliability: Predicted reliability icons are based on estimated breakage rates for newly purchased washing machines, not under service contract, within the first five years of ownership. Owner satisfaction: Owner satisfaction icons are based on the proportion of members who are extremely likely to recommend their washing machine to their friends and family. Washing performance: This reflects the degree of color change to stained swatches of fabric that were included in an 8-pound test load of mixed cotton items using the machines' most aggressive normal cycle. (We do not use special cycle or option buttons.). Results in the following chart are gathered from Consumer Reports’ 2017 Fall Survey of 16,356 top-load agitator washers, owned by members who purchased a new machine between 2007 and 2017.
Our predicted reliability ratings are based on a statistical model that estimates breakage rates within the first 5 years of ownership, for washing machines that are not covered by an extended warranty or service contract. We also adjust for the median number of loads of laundry run through the machines per week. The median in our survey was 4 loads per week. Higher ratings are indicative of better reliability. Brands receiving a red or orange rating cannot be recommended by CR at this time. Type Type Front-loading washers -- With a door located on the front of the washer, one needs to stoop in order to load it. Front-loaders get clothes clean by tumbling them into water.

This design reduces water and energy use and makes front-loaders gentler on clothing and more adept at handling unbalanced loads. Be aware that front-loading washers give best results when used with high-efficiency detergent, which produces fewer suds than regular detergent. They're typically 27 to 29 inches wide. Conventional top-loading washers -- With the opening on the top of the washer, top-loaders are somewhat easier to load than a front-loading washer.
Most top-loaders allow you to fill the tub with enough water to cover the clothing. Because they need room to move the laundry around the agitator to ensure thorough cleaning, these machines have a smaller load capacity than front-loaders. They're typically 27 to 29 inches wide.
Unconventional top-loading washers -- These look much like conventional top-loaders on the exterior, but these machines typically replace the usual vertical agitator post with other wash mechanisms, such as disks or plates that lift and move clothing around the tub. They generally use less water, and thus less energy, than conventional top-loaders and often have a larger capacity. They provide best results when used with high-efficiency detergent, which produces fewer suds than regular detergent. They're typically 27 to 29 inches wide.
