To clean a Maytag commercial technology washer, which includes models like MVWP586GW and MVW7232HW with commercial-inspired components, follow deep cleaning steps similar to residential but more frequent due to heavy use. First, empty washer completely. Second, clean dispenser: remove detergent and bleach dispensers from top, rinse under hot water, scrub with toothbrush to remove caked detergent residue that causes odor. Third, run Affresh cleaning cycle: Maytag recommends Affresh tablet, place one tablet directly in wash basket, not dispenser, select Clean Washer with Affresh or Normal hot cycle, run full hot empty cycle, Affresh contains sodium percarbonate that dissolves residue and kills odor-causing bacteria. If no Affresh, use 2 cups white vinegar poured into basket plus 1/2 cup baking soda and run hot cycle. Fourth, clean lid and gasket: wipe around lid and rubber seal with vinegar solution and cloth to remove mold. Fifth, clean inlet screens: turn off water supply, disconnect inlet hoses behind washer, clean small screens inside inlet valve with brush to remove sediment that causes F8E1 error. Sixth, clean drain pump filter at bottom: unplug, tilt washer, remove pump cover and clean debris. For commercial technology models used heavily, clean weekly with Affresh versus monthly for residential. Leave lid open after each wash to dry and prevent mold.
