How to fix Maytag Bravos or Centennial VMW top-load washer error code Spin LED on (safe owner checks)

Safety first: disconnect power before you remove any panel or reach into the sump or drum. Do not touch wiring, the control board or the motor. If you see water near electrical parts, stop and call a technician. These steps are based on the Maytag Bravos or Centennial VMW top-load washer error-code chart (via Sears PartsDirect) [1], rewritten for clarity.

Write down the code and model number. Note exactly what the display shows (Spin LED on) and copy the full model number from the rating label, so you can confirm this chart applies to your bravos or Centennial VMW top-load washer and order the right parts.
Check the drain hose. Check the washer drain and the drain hose for clogs or restrictions.
Do a power reset. Unplug the appliance or switch off its breaker for one minute, then restore power and try again. If the code clears and stays away, it may have been a one-off fault.
Test and decide. Run a short cycle or restart and watch the display. If Spin LED on comes back after these checks, stop using the washer for this function and call a technician, because the remaining causes need meters or part replacement.

The first and last steps (and the power reset) are general owner checks added by ErrorCodePro; the rest follow the Maytag Bravos or Centennial VMW top-load washer error-code chart published by Sears PartsDirect, rewritten for safe owner use.
