Washing machine won’t transition from fill to wash

I have a Maytag bravos quiet 400 washing machine and it will start the fill cycle, on any setting. Get to a certain time during the fill cycle, and the clock will stay at the same number and continue to fill. All while the drum kind of gives it self a slight jolt. I have installed a new control board already and it still does the same thing.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Hi @chazman17,

What is the model number of the washer?

Does it stop filling?

Does the clock always stop at the same time?

The model# is mvwb800vqo. Yes the clock always stops at the same time, and no it never stops filling, but I only let it go 3-4 minutes past the frozen time before I shut it off.

Hi @chazman17 ,

Check if the water pressure hose is securely attached at both ends and also that is is not blocked, damaged etc.

Increasing air pressure in the hose, due to water rising in it as the tub fills, operates a switch on the control board and when the set level is reached, the water inlet valve is closed by the control board which then moves onto the agitate part of the wash cycle.

The supplier linked is only to show what it looks like and the possible cost. If the hose needs to be replaced there are other suppliers online that may suit you better. Just search for WP353244 to get results.

Here's a pressure hose replacement video that may help

Upon installation of the new control board I inspected the pressure switch hose for leaks or blockages and everything seemed to be working properly.

Being pedantic but did you see the water rising in the pressure hose when the washer fills?
