Maytag Whirlpool uL Maintenance Mode Draining Fix / Trick
If you've exhausted all your options on trying to fixing the uL code, you might want to try this method I've been using to at least get the water drained out and your clothes a bit dryer. I have a Maytag Bravos XL washer (MVWB725BW0). If you have any questions, please leave a comment.

Your video is the only one that showed how to test the drain and spin. Thank you.
I tested a load of clothes and I'm one happy camper😃😃 it works 👏👏👏thank you so much!!
Thank you so so much for posting this!! I can get my sheets in the dryer tonight because of it!! 🙏🙏🙏
Wow thank you so much for this video!! I was almost going to cry because I thought I was going to need a new washer and I can not afford it at the moment. Thank you I did this and it worked !!! You are a life saver!! 😅😅😊
U are the savior of bravo xl mct owners with guests over who need to use ur washer
Thank you for the very informative video. I have been struggling with the ul (unbalance mode) for quite a while. And I don’t have the means to purchase a new washer. Or even hire a repair person. You’ve saved me.
You rock!🎉 Just fixed my UL of pillows. Worked like a charm. Thank you.
Thanks. I have the same short-lived machine doing the same thing, throwing UL error everytime toward end of cycle. I can't afford a repairman or new machine. I really appreciate your video.
Woke up this morning, I have the same washer that said ( UL ) it was a small load. I did everything you did and it drained, thank you so much for this video. Now I need to test it, to see if the problem was taken care of.

Thanks you sooo much.. I have an older version ( was given to me)and I tried to opened it to see if it was the springs etc. Couldn't get it to open because of rusted bolts... but this helped a lot so I didn't have to have clothes in the drier for multiple times lol... thank you

thank goodness I found this video. It help me found a way to spin dry our clothes. Our Maytag Bravo XL consistently failed with 14 minutes before completion (I believe right before the spinning occur, and the code is uL). I find this code to be generic and I'm still unable to pinpoint the root cause. I had a repairman came out and replaced an official Maytag suspension rod and that didn't help.

I've had one for 8 years now and its been great. I think the Bearings are going out though.
Thank you for this video! It completely solved my problem!!
You are the *BEST EVER* Thank You 🙏🏻
It actually worked!! Thank you so much!
Hello thank you for this. We can use our washer in a pinch now, but I still need to fix it for good. When going into maintenance mode in the video, it flashes"H94" and you mention it goes through error codes. Mine has the exact same code. Do you know what this is? I am thinking of replacing the bearing but want to make sure it is not an electronic problem (motherboard) that will make it worth just throwing the machine away.
amazing video, thanks for sharing
The least you can do is unplug the washer for a minute or so, it is run by a computer and rebooting it may correct everything, this is what I did and it works in my case, hope it helps....

Am getting an OL code what is the that for ? but same thing it leaves the clothes wet, so go into diagnostics and do the spin and drain like you showed, but new loads keeps stopping at OL. Any susggestions
Thanks so much! You saved my headache! I have same washer like yours.
I was getting an LD error code on my washer. I took out the drum, removed a hand towel from the tub and cleaned out all the hoses, checked the pumps for obstructions, and while at it, replaced the bearings and shaft since they were rusty. I'm still getting an LD error and when running diagnostics, I got an F32 error. Do you have any idea what may be going on? The washer is not draining and making a gurgling sound.
2:55 you save my ass 😩🙏 thank you!
Thank you!!!
May I ask how much it costs to get the rods replaced by a repairman? Just a guess, and I'm in Texas. I hated my machine before the OL code. I can't wash blankets in it and no control within the cycle. I know now with your video, but the old fashion dial where you could click it to any part within the cycle was much better.
I did this on my Bravos XL MVWB980BG and it worked. My question for you though does this "fix" the problem or do you have to do this every time? By reading the comments here it seems that this is a big problem on this machine. I'm trying to decide whether to ditch it for a new one or not.

I've had to do it once in the past year after doing the various hardware fixes mentioned in my other videos. It is a good back pocket fix to drain it when it happens "occasionally". If it is happening every time you probably have the bearing going bad or the suspension rods.
Good video thanks but do you have to do this every time you wash?

No. Once I found the issue with the new suspension rods I got, it no longer happened. Actually it did once due an actual unbalanced load. And instead of rebalancing and running it again, I jus did this drain trick. Check out the last video in the play list I created to know what I mean rods: kzread.info/dash/bejne/oopoyaSAmKW1dco.html

Did you end up buying a new one? It probably is worth it because they things have so many issues and if you made it 10 years--not bad.
I had this problem with mine and the way Got my washer to stop working. Is level my washer by fixing the problem with the hobble Legs on bottom. The only way I got it to stay level was taking the legs out and adding a locking nut to the leg and when putting the legs back in is level the washer with the level going across the top of tub not lid once level i used lock nut to tighten against the washer frame. also laid sum rubber matts on bottom of legs to help the shaking on floor. The legs on washer are the worst thing about the washer.
So Mine shows the Ld code on it. I've the drain pump and it still will not drain. Even when doing this that you explained in the video. What else could it be?

Is it the exact same? Mine is MVWB725BW0. And you have a 'Water Save' button that doesn't lock it? All I can think of is it could be slightly different. Can you find your service manual? If you can lift your washer up, it should be taped on the back of the front pane. That is where mine was.
You probably have a new machine by now but I'm stuck with the Bravo XL. Your spin fix works but I have to do this ever single time. IS there anything in your pamphlet that instructs how to reset it? If you still have that instruction sheet, can you photocopy and email me it?

Fyi if you replaced the suspension rods and the UL code still appears with the tub shaking, did you use OEM parts??? Suspension rods that are not genuine to whirlpool/ Maytag may still give you issues because they may not be built to the original factory standards. Try putting in new OEM suspension rods.

In order to drain and spin only, you should try this... Select "rinse/drain & spin", then DESELECT "extra rinse", than start the cycle. It should not add water when you do this.

Well what I mean is there are no clothes in it at all and about 4 inches of water, when I tried to do the trick to turn on the pump to drain it, it just makes that humming noise and doesn’t empty. My daughter was washing clothes and I guess it was trying to drain and then just started to and then made this loud humming noise that wouldn’t stop until we unplugged it. We’ve tried to call people locally to help but can’t find anyone. I have tried to remove the agitator plate thinking maybe it’s stopped up but I can’t get the nut to come off.

If u want to get rid of ul, make sure it's perfectly level. Then springs. (Check tub and make sure it's not wobbling in it's hole) Then stator. Then control board. Then new machine. In that order.
