How Do You Reset Maytag Centennial Washer?
In order to reset your maytag centennial washer, you need to do is unplug the washer from the socket outlet for at least 5 to 10 minutes, before you plug it back in to test if the appliance has reset or has been recalibrated.
Note that this is the first procedure I usually carry out while trying to reset my washer.
It’s actually the easiest method you could try out if you don’t want to get things too complicated with the appliance.
Here are some few other methods you can try, but it requires you to be accurate and careful.
Although it’s very simple, you just need to follow the step-by-step guidelines which I will be highlighting below.
1. Rotating The Cycle Selector Knob At The Center Of The Washer In Specific Order
You know that on a maytag centennial washer, there are a lot of buttons to press which includes deep water wash, soak, normal, power, start and many more.
But you see that a little big button or the cycle selector knob, which is usually attached to the dryer at the center.
With this big button or cycle selection knob, it will be the focus of the procedures to take in order to reset the washer. Follow the guidelines below.
- First and foremost, ensure that the washer is empty. You shouldn’t have clothes inside ready for washing. That’s a no no!! (It must also be in a normal standard mode or position)
- Hold the cycle selection knob and turn it around in a counterclockwise rotation once (one rotation) and make sure it gets to its previous position.
- Now, rotate the big button at the center (still the cycle selection knob) in a clockwise rotation so that it clicks three settings and stop it at the 3 o’clock position.
- Turn the main handle in a counterclockwise rotation once and bring it back to the 3 o’clock position.
- You will notice all the light will begin to blink. This is just a sign that you are on the right path. If you do not see any LED lights blinking below the main handle, then you have to try the previous steps again.
- Now, after you notice all the lights starting to blink. Continue to rotate the cycle selection knob in a clockwise rotation until you see only “rinse” turned on.
- After the “rinse” LED light is illuminated, press the”start” button and your maytag centennial washer will begin to reset and re-calibrate.
What you will notice is that the washer LED lights start changing from keypads to keypads, also a little bit of noise until it completes all necessary cycles.

- Now, after plugging your washer back in. You have a maximum period of 30 seconds to lift and close the top lid of your washer 6 times.
- Note that you have to make sure you do this within that time frame and make sure you are correctly closing the top lid. This is important in order to ensure that you are doing this the right way.
