The MHW6000XW shares its layout with the rest of this Maytag family, so the diagnostic order is familiar: the door lock, the pump filter and how level the machine sits, then behind the lower access panel. The plate also dates the machine, which matters when deciding whether a repair is worth doing.
Useful things an owner can do: wiping the boot dry, leaving the door ajar and clearing the filter. Anything that requires a panel to come off should wait for a technician.
