Product review (5 stars): So glad I found the suggestion to take off the control ...
Our Maytag Centennial washer was starting to agitate while water was fling up at the beginning of Normal cycles. Then we were left with soaking wet clothes at the end of the cycle. Researching the problem lead me here. So glad I found the suggestion to take off the control panel and try blowing on the sensor. I just did it. Started a Normal cycle. Water calmly filled up before starting to agitate.

Saved me from buying a new sensor and/or calling a repair person. I love the internet!
