I’m not able to post a question in the Washer Repair category. It wants me to select a tag for the Appliance Brand but no options show up. I looked at other categories and the Appliance Brand tags show a list of multiple brands to choose from.

I am seeing exactly the same thing. What is it asking me to do? I can’t see ANY way to either choose or type in a tag. If it matters, I’m using the Chrome browser on a Windows PC.

I will check it out. Thank you for reporting the issue.

I have a Maytag washer MVWC555DW1. It’s about 6 years old and about a month ago I started having very wet clothes at the end of the wash cycle. I bypassed the door lock so I could watch it and towards the end of the spin cycle the wash plate will spin very fast for a half second 3 times at which point I believe a high speed spin should engage but doesn’t. I replaced a dirty but undamaged splutch kit which didn’t help. Any recommendations?
