Why is my ONLY my Bleach not dispensing?

Is there a water inlet valve (a solenoid) that specifically is allocated to Bleach dispensing for Maytag MHWE201YW00 washer, or, for this model washer, is there a rotary valve that determines which water nozzle in the back of the dispenser drawer has water come out of it? Is there a way I can get a copy of the service manual for this washer?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Hi @mdamico ,

Here’s the tech sheet for the washer.

Go to p.5 to see how to get into the diagnostic test mode.

On p.6 the 2nd diagnostic test Control Action says Fill by cold water via bleach compartment (4 liters) and this is done by checking Double valve (VC1 and VC2 at same time).

On p.15 is shows the wiring diagram from the CCU to the valves.

If one of the valves is faulty then unfortunately they both have to be replaced as they cannot be repaired. They come as a complete module, consisting of two valves. The part number is WPW10212596. Search online using the part number only to find suppliers that suit you best.

Hopefully this is of some help.

Getting into Diagnostics Mode is clear. It is not clear what the significance of the rows are in the table on Page 6. True, it looks like the 2nd row has to do with testing the dispenser, but exactly when do you add the 4 Liters of water to the Bleach compartment? Also which of the three buttons (1st, 2nd, or 3rd) do you press to get the test to start. Another question is does the washer do all the tests in the table on Page 6? Also, how does a person read the test results? Please let me know if someone can provide a little more detail on how to automatically test the water inlet valves. Specifically, my Bleach isn't being dispensed. Thank you very much for your help.
