I cannot thank you enough for these Whirlpool videos. I'm 58 year old woman and we're always broke. Our less than 8 yo washer started messing up. We paid a repair man who ran a dx and reset for $70. Now I can do for free until we can figure out to replace the part (most likely the shift sensor shown in another video) or find a way to replace if part is too expensive. You are truly a Godsend.
It's disgusting they build such junk, no need for all this making them complicated and less dependable. I miss the old days when things were made to last and be repaired instead of junked out
My parents old Kenmore washer and dryer in the 1980's had fewer issues over their entire lifetime.compared to this modern junk I'm using now. I don't even care how much water is machine uses, I just want a product that works without a lot of issues.
Exactly, I hate this modern damn JUNK! Sensors sensing how much water to put in your load, well they're freaking junk because most of the time it doesn't fill with enough water to even cover the clothes and I have to manually pour buckets of water in! Why do they have to put all this modern stuff in them? All the crap does is allow a repair man to charge the hell out of you. My dryer broke, the repair came out and changed a part out and it came to 225.00. He left & the damn dryer NEVER worked again! Said it must have happened after he left because it was working fine when he was here! Might as well have thrown the money in the trash!!😠
OMG. Thank you, thank you. My hubby was able to diagnose and ordered part , took him about 10 minutes but washer wouldn’t work properly after part was installed. We knew we had the correct part. Found your video did the hard reset and Voila perfect. I had called whirpool because I had purchased two dryers and one washing machine all at the same time, less than 1 year old. Whirlpool was absolutely no help at all and even informed me that no service technicians in my area.☹️. Anyway after finding your super helpful videos we are back up and running. These videos are soooo helpful and save me from going ballistic . Again thank you 5:47
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I will add, I LOATHE this worthless piece of garbage, but we paid too much for it, so I have to make do with it for now. It did this “stay in drain mode and not come back on” several months ago. I called a repairman, who told me to try a sequence to reset it, which worked. I wrote it down, but promptly misplaced that note. I did not want to have you call him again, so thank you for saving me the embarrassment, and getting this going again!
I have a GE that’s the same thing, I thought it would be good not having the agitator in the middle, but all the clothes do is shake around a little and don’t beget soaked good, the previous home owner left behind a small front loader that needs some work but it at least tumble the clothes so they get some movement, I’ll be purchasing some parts to make it like new
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO!!! I’m a retired widow and was absolutely baffled by my washer’s bad temperament: Start, wouldn’t start ugh Your video was the answer to the problem! Thank you again for taking the time to make this video … I’m sooo thankful for the time, grief and money you saved me!!!
Great information here! Thank you. I was ready to throw down 80 bucks for new water inlet valve...machine was SCREAMING on cold water fill. Ran it through the diagnostic and viola!! It's quiet again. This is the good side of RUclips! Thanks again.
after almost giving up , I was on my way to get a new one . And I decided to give a try on this method nd worked , Thanks man you just helped me to save a couple hundred dollars !!
Well done my lid lock light was flashing and the machine dead tried all the other reset methods none worked, your shortcut cleared the error light thanks again. Have you thought of a video on winterizing, I always struggle with it can't get the machine to cycle and draw antifreeze through inlet hoses
Dude, THANK YOU SO MUCH for the info on that service manual inside the machine! Don't know what made our washer go out of synch, but the R L combo got me into an Auto Test cycle and voila! BTW, our model machine is a WTW4950WX from 2012 and your hard default reset wasn't working. So after unplugging/plugging I did the RL move. God bless you brother! You saved me both time and money I can I'll afford to lose. ✌️
Anything to squeeze another dollar with these corporations. It's a wonder they're even allowed to sell this trash. Cheap Carnival scam garbage. Thank you for the video.
Hi, I have this exact model. The lid light comes on ,there is a click and it goes off and continues clicking a couple of times. So the lid keeps locking and unlocking. I tried your method and it didn't work, any advice?
@@OFFAxisBuilds I tried this and i tried turning knob counter clockwise then left, right, left. Still cant get the locked light to stop flashing. I replaced the lid lock mechanism. Any thoughts?
I want to scream right now I am so frustrated. My washer is stuck on the wash cycle. I unplug it, wait, plus back in and the wash light comes back on. I hit the start button 10 times and nothing happens. It just stays on the wash cycle with the wash light on. I want to take a bat to this thing. I have tried recalibrating it and doing all the troubleshooting turning the knob right then left, all that and it just stays in wash😭😡
I got this same washer no lights no resets working , I unplugged motor and get lights , motor plugged in back board light one and done motor unplugged back light solid . Any suggestions? The motor has good oms at 12 6 6 .
@@nickfdsasdf6540 luckily it’s still under warranty. Got a service guy coming out next week. Just glad I don’t have to open it up. Pretty sure it’ll require some new part.
I had these a few years ago. Wish I would of had this video then. I got suckered into this space age Samsung stackable units. If mine has a issue its throw away. These machines are work horses. Parts are also cheap and easy to find. Not like mine. Mine you need to have a degree from M.I.T
@@OFFAxisBuilds I know that, I can't get to it. I unscrewed the back & pulled it forward, but there's some kind of locks blocking me from getting to it.
You may need to remove the top cover to get to it if you can’t reach your hand in there or you might be able to get to it if you tilt the machine on its side. There are two or three screws in the back that are holding that top cover on
Mine too. It was maybe a month for me. These machines are cheap. But I’m glad you got yours up and running. If you need anything more I have a few more videos on this machine. Thank you for your support
Guess what… My washer worked for a while now it won’t spin…They want me to buy a 90.00+ extended warranty for it to be repaired! Your code worked but it is acting crazy again…
Nice upload. I kno this wouldn't exactly work on the washer I have.....it's from like 05🤣but it's still going. But definitely nice information for people that do have newer washers
I have this same model i got nothing wen pushing start button ,i can go into diagnosis mode but thays it no wayer no power at all any idea wat it can be
I have the same model but when I plug it back in the fill light starts flashing and then nothing happens.i press the start button for 3 seconds to cancel it but then the light turns off and now nothing turns on until I unplug it again. Any idea what could fix it? Thanks
My whirlpool washer has the auto sense and the deep water wash options. If I set it on auto sense, it deep water washes, if I set it on deep water wash, it auto senses... it's like the switch is in reverse. Tech over the phone said the mainboard is bad, so I'm gonna try your method see if it works. I bought this washer new and so no one's messed with it and it didn't do that until a couple months ago. Why would this machine do that? I've done every test so far from the service manuals instructions, yet the problem persist. What's strange is, out of all the test it does, there's 3 switches it does not test (water temp, fabric softener, and auto sense) are not part of the diagnostics according to my service manual. So, if one of those switches goes bad how the heck does the owner know it?... there's no fault codes in the manual for these switches. It's like this washer was intentionally designed to ignore these switches for fault.
I own the same model you show, and did the reset & recalibration 4 times since I bought it; and it needs a part replaced. It must have been designed & built by stoned monkeys. When it works, even on delicate, it stretches and frays my clothes.Next week I'm having delivered a Speed Queen TC5 and having the 1 1/2 year old Whirlpool to be traded in to be "repaired" and resold; I pity anyone that buys a modern Whirlpool or any other machine that is totally computerized.
What if you have no lights, nothing is doing anything? It was fine last time I used it. Checked the outlet, the fusebox, tried a different outlet & nothing, no power at all. It's the exact same Whirlpool as yours in the video.
Man, that is a great educational video, but the only thing turn off the music is terrible when you’re trying to talk and teach, and you got music playing in the background
How can you hear any clicks with that music playing? 🤷🏻♂️ And you tell us where the manual is - but it is not reachable. How about telling us how to retrieve it? 🤦🏻♂️
Anyone remember the good ol’ days when shit just worked? EVERYTHING these days is disposable junk. My Whirlpool washer took a shit 10 days after warranty. 😡😡😡
I'm sick of this junk being built!!! Why in hell do we need to make a washing machine so damn complicated? Electronics and plastics have ruines just about everything!!! If I can find an old school machine in decent shape I'm getting it????

Wheres the video on how to get the manual out? I couldn't find it on your channel. My washer is now stuck in "Sensing" mode.
The manual is attached to the front panel on the inside left.

@@OFFAxisBuilds I'll have to have someone help me tilt it then. I tried reaching it but it's too far down, but I can see the papers there.

Thanks so much!
What's the best brands do you recommend??
Not sure. All I can say is that one was a pos. My latest one is a Samsung
Just like cars (I’m a mekanick)….all of them are shit, there’s just different degrees of shit
How do I reset one without the LEDs?
How will you know when it's finished?
+feyaz I guess they are never truly finished. But I think in this case I will consider it finished when I can start driving it and showing it.

Did you ever figure out what was wrong with yours? Mine is doing exactly what you just described and the reset didn't work for me either.
Me too
It would help if you lowered the volume - or turned off - the background music.
Great advice I believe I have fixed that sense this video
Do you know how drain the water from a whirlpool washer when I need to replace a shifting sensor
If drain and spin doesn’t work you will need to siphon the water out.
The instructions for my model says to leave the lid open for 10 minutes. The water will drain out. It has worked for me.
This worked
I’m glad I was able to help you out. Thank you for the support

Man, that is a great educational video, but the only thing turn off the music is terrible when you’re trying to talk and teach, and you got music playing in the background
Good to know
No power to my washer and lid wont open
Great videos but get rid of the music.
Mine is a maytag commercial
I unplugged still nothing
How can you hear any clicks with that music playing? 🤷🏻♂️
And you tell us where the manual is - but it is not reachable. How about telling us how to retrieve it? 🤦🏻♂️
The manual isn’t easy to get to. You have to move the drum and reach in or unbolt the top to get to it.
Couldnt hear the click due to the music.
