Whirlpool Washer Not Spinning - Easy Fix
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 сен 2024
- Whirlpool washer not spinning and the easy way to fix it. If you have a Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, or Roper washer that looks similar to what you see in this video, there is an easy fix to a no spin problem. Usually if the washer is filling, agitating, and draining but not spinning, the culprit is the shift actuator which switches the washer from agitating to final spin. In this video I show you how to replace the shift actuator to get your washing machine up and running again! Here are the parts I ordered on Amazon for this fix. I also ordered a clutch kit just in case but never ended up using it:

I do have some but it would be good to make a few more. Thanks!
Hi, I did everything you said and fixed our washer. Didn't have to recalibrate. Your information helped save hundreds of dollars for a new washer. Thanks
Love to hear that! Happy laundry! 😉
I'm an apartment renter and was about ready to buy my own washing machine until I Googled this video. It works perfectly after recalibrating the settings. Thank you.
Man who did that plumbing - handy man at its finest
Thank you for! Fix and recalibration worked perfectly on a ~10 year old whirlpool.
This channel is gold, from the repair tips to math tricks, thank you for this 🙏🏼
I'm old enough to remember when appliances didn't break every few years.

Thank you so much for posting this video. I have a Whirlpool washer which is three and a half years old. During a wash cycle,
it stopped spinning and made the loudest, horrible, grinding noise I have ever heard. It was out of warranty so Whirlpool, of course, wouldn't offer any help or advice. Oh, they did offer 10% off if I bought another one! Fat chance of ever buying a
Whirlpool again. I have called a serviceman so I'm hoping he can repair it. Thank you again.
I’m so glad I found your video. I bought the piece on Amazon and it got here the next day. After I put in the new piece, it took a couple of tries to recalibrate the machine but it worked 🎉thank you so much!
Its kind of coincidence that i just did the same with my washer about two weeks ago and now i came across with this video. Thanks jay for sharing your knowledge.
Oh wow, isn't it crazy how that happens! I've had that before too, where I just talked about or did something and then other people start mentioning the same thing.
thanks Jay on the tips on the washer have a great rest of the weekend be safe
Thank you! May you have an amazing rest of the week as well!
I hope the fires didn’t affect u. And I hope u r staying busy. With your skill set u would b busy anywhere. Even Pineapple Paradise. Say hello to your faithful camera person. Who does the editing? Great as always
The fires fortunately have not gotten to Big Island, at least no big ones. Thank you for the concern! Will pass on your greetings to my wife and thank you! I still do the video editing myself. 🙂
WOW .. interesting to see what goes on with such new fangled clothes washer. I bought my latest clothes washer in Oct 2002 and it is still good; I did have to replace lid switch a few years ago with help of youtube and the blessing of being able to find the needed part. I so appreciate you Jay, and others like you who help people by sharing How To Repair videos on just everything. TY
May your washer last you at least another 20 years!! Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment, have an amazing rest of the week!
At 4:13 in the video, 4 out of 3 people know you turned the knob clockwise.
Hahaha oh dear, I didn't even notice that I said that wrong! Hopefully 4 out of 3 people didn't catch that. 😇
I just bought my whirl pool washer, the 2 in 1. It washes but doesn’t drain the water completely and leaves my cloths wet after the cycle finishes, but if I switch it to drain and spin it completes the cycle and leaves them dry. What could be the problem ?
I have the same issue, if you read this please send help!
I dont know
Thanks Jay for the great teaching today 👍 and the four outa 3 , could of thought 4 outa 2😊 lol, and enjoyed the math trick today. God bless you and yours ✝️🇺🇸
You bet! Thanks for stopping by for the new video, glad you liked the math trick! We receive the blessing and may the Lord abundantly bless you and yours as well!
Good evening thank you so much for this information, it worked and saved my family from spending a huge some of cash ❤❤ can't thank you enough keep up the good work 🎉
Bud, you said counter clockwise. I’m no genius but I do believe you rotated the knob clockwise. 😑 other than that, pretty helpful video. Preciate ya.
Recalibration sequence:
1) Set back where it was turn on and wait at least 30sec
2) Twist dial counterclockwise one full rotation back to normal
3) Turn three clicks the right
4) Turn one click to left
5) Turn one click back the right
*All must be complete within 3 sec.
LIGHTS FLASHING WILL INDICATE CALIBRATION UNDERWAY
Fixed my washer problem
Love to hear that! May it run problem-free for many years now.
You always have good content and ending quizzes, thanks
Glad to hear that! Thank you!
very helpful, instructions and sound are very clear. thank you!
Thanks Jay, loves your videos! How can you find different recalibration mode setting for different manufacturers? It seems nowadays manufacturers hide all these setting & informations to keep do it yourselfers away from fixing various appliance problems.
You're welcome! I agree, it does seem like they purposely hide it away. Most of the time the "secret service manual" will be hidden either in the back of the washer, behind the back cover panel or it will be taped on the inside of the washer in the front corner. You would need to disassemble and lift the top to get to it.
My sister asked grandma for her washer and dryer when she was in her death bed sorta. I asked why and my sister said because grandma has had them for EVER and they never broke or wore out. That was 2017 and they still run great.
Very Useful, Thank You Very Much.
You're welcome! Glad you found the video helpful!
Great Video as always. Thank you for sharing. Have a nice weekend.
Thank you sir! I appreciate you stopping by, have a fabulous rest of the week as well!
We have a washing machine about 2 years ago it was flooded so we just stored it, tried it today it still works. Its also a whirlpool. Is it safe to use? Don't really know much about em but I could open the inside
How can you check it with ohm meter?
Had same issue twice. No spin and wash light on. Found mouse nest under transmission pan where the shift actuator is mounted. The actuator has a speed sensor and the mouse nest was preventing the sensor from reading correctly.
Thanks. Love your content . Helps me alot
You're welcome! Glad to hear you love the content and find it helpful. Have a fantastic rest of the week!
Great video! This was so easy that I could do it by myself. Thanks Jay! And I love math jokes!
Thank you! 🙂 Oh for sure you would be able to do this one yourself, no problem. Glad you liked the joke! Have a marvelous rest of the week!
Thanks for sharing this ❤
Very helpful thanks
Good vid. Thank you sir
You're welcome! Thank you for stopping by, have a marvelous rest of the week!
I think I might have cleaned that cover while I was down there
I really should have but I knew that they were soon going to get a new laundry set anyway so I didn't make the extra effort.
Always love your videos brother! Thx
Thank you sir
You're welcome sir! Thank you for stopping by!
Looks like I have the exact same washer 👍…. Question, mine goes through all the cycles wash/rinse just fine, except the very last final spin cycle. So, could it still be the same part (actuator) that is keeping it from doing the final spin. This just started today.
Thanks for any suggestions
nice video
Awesome 👍👍👍
Thanks Harry!! You're as legendary as always!
Where can i buy that part?
Hi, what is the best way to tell if it is the actuator or the motor coupler? Thanks!
Great vid Jay ... And as for math , it just didn't add up for me either Aloha my Friend
Thank you Eddy! Haha yeah, math can be tricky. 😄 Hope you are doing well my friend, aloha from Hawaii!! May God bless you and yours!!
Does the calibration step apply to older models. Mine doesn't have any kind of lights
It varies from model to model but if yours does not have any lights there are probably no recalibration procedures besides just unplugging it for 30 seconds and plugging it back in.
Can I reset it while there's clothes inside. (2nd hand washer) It's been stuck on Sensing fill. No new piece but is it worth a try to reset it?
how can I tell if its this part , or the clutch , or motor is burnt on this style of washer?
How can I test the actuator?
you turn the knob clock wise not counter but otherwise i really liked your video
I have the same washer but a different problem. The drum does spin but tends to bang the sides of the washer. Even if the load is perfectly balanced is still bangs. Even when empty there appears to be too much play with the drum. You can easily push it from side to side. Any suggestions? Thanks.
What if it doesn't drain? It gets to the point where it should drain and stops there. I can force it to drain by setting it on Drain and Spin and restarting. But it still doesn't spin. Again I set it to Drain and Spin and restart again and it spins out. Is it still the same part?
Need help:
🛑 I have a 8 yr old Whirlpool Bravos MCT dryer that randomly stops drying. I have to wait 2-3 minutes until I can have it start up again. I replaced the thermostat 2 yrs ago. New belt last year.
Any suggestions are appreciated!
Are all Whirlpool the same.because i can't find that part on My machine
We have replaced this part twice and recalibrated but it still won't spin.
👍
One can use a car jack to tip it back
I am one of the 4 of the 3 people who also struggle with math. Mainly factions
Just swapped mine but still not spinning 😐
Is it possible for something to get stuck in the motor? My apartment complex are stating that I have to pay $800 They’re saying that a toy car got stuck in there and I don’t know how that’s possible.
What if my Whirlpool doesn't have any lights?.
My washer do the spin cycle just when it’s selected but not in normal cycle
I did this and it still will not spin. Help!
This washer has bad suspension rods, The tub was wobbling
I've replaced this part and the clutch kit and my whirlpool washer will not spin.
My washer only works when is tilt
I did this, turned it to drain/spin and it does nothing. 😢
Hey buddy I wrote a long message it may have went to spam
Hi David! Good to hear from you! I was away on a trip so I only got around to answering comments right now. I checked my spam and held for review folders but unfortunately the long message is nowhere to be found. ☹ Sorry about that. I hope you are doing well, greetings and love from Hawaii!! God bless you and yours!
😃👍👍👍
🙂🙏👍♥
Stuck on sensing
You said 3 clicks counter clockwise, then actually turned 3 clockwise to “rinse”…
Yeah.. Kind of tripped over my tongue there. 😅
@@WordofAdviceTV of course my issue doesn’t seem to be anything stripped out. Ive taken out and cleaned plate. The gears dont seem to damaged and the actuator feels to be good (the machine is only a couple years old). However, it sounds as if the noise is coming from electric motor. It spins, but makes a god-offal noise and tub doesnt spin… 🤔
@@jameycreel9330 Did you figure out where the noise was coming from? Mother in laws is making this horrible noise and doesn’t spin either but I haven’t had a chance to go take a look underneath yet.
@@Ojb_1959 it was the actuator. I bought a new one and put it in…
ME TOO Hun...reason is U HV SPEND MORE $!!!!!!
