Edited: Included the video's instructions and labeled it Step 0. Thanks @alleyfox9917! Initially I couldn't get it to work, but after some digging online your instructions are correct but there's also a cadence to it! Step 0: Fully rotate the dial counter-clockwise and leave the dial at the 12 o'clock position. When ready, you must do the following steps below WITHIN 6 seconds: 1. Clockwise one click, wait half a second. 2. Clockwise one click, wait half a second. 3. Clockwise one click, wait half a second. 4. COUNTER-clockwise one click, wait half a second. 5. Clockwise one click, lights should turn on.
Unbelievable!!!!! So happy! This worked, thank you! I had called Whirlpool and they didn't help, said they would schedule a tech. This got my washer working......
I almost took this thing out back and office spaced it. You are a life saver. My washer clicked like 300 times and now works. Apparently either the actuator or safety lock was stuck. But not anymore. Thanks a million
Thank you!! I hace a Whirlpool WTW4816FW2 that was making a nonstop grinding-like sound. It was like it was trying to sense the load but the barrel wasn’t moving. If I moved the barrel manually by hand, the sound stopped but as soon as I stopped moving it, the sound would start again. It persisted even through unplugging the unit and leaving it unplugged for several minutes. When I would plug it in, after a few moments the sound would start back up. I finally got the sound to stop by holding down the start button for a few moments, but the unit would not function or respond at all. I found this video and went through all three steps, and it worked! The washer is working now, so far without any issues. Thank you very much for saving me money by avoiding a service call.
I held the start/reset button down for a few seconds and the sound stopped. Didn't have to go through those reset procedures and the washer started working again.
My Whirlpool was behaving erratic when in spin mode. It was diagnosed as defective stabilizer rods, then I came upon your clip and followed directions. Amazingly the darn machine is working perfectly now! I saved $1,000 thanks to you.
Much like another lady posted, I'm a single mom trying to figure out how to fix all kinds of things! 😂 Thanks so much for taking the time to post this. Much appreciated 👍🏻
Finally a video that actually shows exactly how to reset and recalibrate my washer! I just replaced the hub and agitator and needed to figure out how to do this! Thank you!!!
Although my diag mode sequence was a little different, the Calibration part was right on. Saved myself some money and the wife gave me some lovin'. Thanks Ben!
I couldn’t get mine into the diagnostic mode after doing the knob turning sequence. I was finally able to get it once I set ALL the knobs to the vertical position and then did the sequence. Thanks!
I was hopeful this would work, but same result. All the lights are on, not flashing, except the sensing light, which is flashing. Ugg! Deciding..schedule repair service, $250, to come out for what might be an easy fix for him, or just buy a new one, which comes with installation, even though mine is only 2 years old. I wish I could resolve it!!
Single mom here, my husband of 10 years left me and the kids. Things keep breaking around the house and I have to figure it out. Thanks so much for making this video. Really helped me!
This works perfectly, I just needed to do the first reset, and all went back to normal, thanks cause my wife was driving me a little nuts about this issue. Thanks gain! Awesome instructions dude!
THANK! YOU! Your fixes worked perfectly ...after walking through the initial reset - no luck, the recalibration - no luck, your final suggestion of the rapid succession of 6 door lift/close within 12 seconds was the charm! Instantly reset everything and the cycles restored to normal operation!! I just saved the cost [and time] of an appliance man coming over, let alone assuming that I needed to replace my machine [a set so it would have been both washer and dryer together!] and besides I just love this current set which I have and would have hated to part with it. Immense Thank you!!
Hey there! Bought my washer used and been struggling since day 1....always having to unplug and restart. Just did the second recalibration you demonstrated here and ran my first load....with 2 rinses....glitch free!!! Smoothest wash since I bought her! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!
Thank you I bought a whirlpool washer because I had my old one for 29 yrs without a problem. Like someone said they are so complicated n I thank you again n God Bless You !!! ❤️
Thank you… just for a moment I thought my machine is already busted, till I thought of checking ways on how to fix it if there is and luckily it led me to your channel… you’re a life saver bro!!!
This was a life saver! Took a few times like he said it would but it worked. I think I had to do the 2nd one about 5-6 times. Now it’s working great! THANK YOU!!
Thanks Ben! Ive had my Whirlpool for 9 years and have had to recalibrate a few times. Today the usual procedure wasn't working, so I tried the lid thing, which I never knew about before. That corrected the problem. My washer had gotten "stuck".
Thank you so very much for this video. Our washer has not been working correctly for about 3 months now and last night it started freezing at sensing load. Did this step by step and washing my 1st load with no problems at all! Thank you thank you thank you!
Thank you!!! Went to start a load and it was just off. The reset worked and it came back on!!! I was about to freak! I really can't afford to buy a washer right now!
THANK YOU🎉🎉. I had a power outage and my Whirlpool stopped working. I tried everything and was about to call a repairman. Then I tried the first step and it worked ‼️
1245 AM. Thank you so much for this video. Just got my brand new washer from Lowe’s and it was not going through the cycles properly. I followed your video and now my washer is working. Thank you so much. ❤
Ben, you're our hero! Our machine needed this reboot and recalibration without question. It's still downstairs acting "normally" for the first time in several months, so maybe a bit premature to say everything's great again, but it certainly is looking hopeful at this point!
Wow! Thank you so much! We just bought a new washer and it wouldn't get out of the sensing mode. We were about to drag it out to return it when I happened upon this video. We recalibrated it and it started right up. You saved us a lot of hassle!
Like you I just bought a new Whirlpool washer and dryer. It won’t start! After five minutes of sensing it turned off! I’m hoping to have good luck like you with these ideas. Why does it have to be so complicated? I just want to wash not do brain surgery!
Thank you for making this video. My new washing machine stopped before the spin and drain cycle. I unplugged the machine like you said and plugged it back in and it is cured!
This is what happens when american brands sell to china but still make their units in usa to fool americans that its still a american brand when its not
Nope, don't blame whirlpool. They're all doing similar nonsense. The blame lies squarely on the GOVERNMENT'S shoulders, and US for allowing it!! They have mandated all this in an effort to "save water". Yup, a WASHING machine is the place to save water!
Thank you for this video. My Whirlpool kept getting stuck on "wash". It wasn't agitating or don't anything after filling with water. The first unplugging method didn't help but the recalibration with the main selector knob seems to have fixed it. Your video saved me a lot of aggravation and a service call.
Thank you for the help. Between this video and someone having a transmission problem with theirs I was able to make one good washing machine out of 2. Just cost me some gas and time. Thanks again!
Just something else to try.. If none of the lights are lit and the washer is making a sound like it's draining, hold the start button for 10 seconds or so. This fixed mine. 👍🏾
Thank you so much!! My washer was stuck in drain mode and recalibration wasn't working. I'd seen the opening and closing lid in another video but they didn't state it had to be done in 12 seconds. Did it and yay, it worked!!
This helped me, at least a little bit. I have a similar Whirlpool compared to what you show in the video. In fact almost the exact type and model. Anyway I just went through a devil of a time--as you may be aware, their defaults, when things aren't working proper, is to drain. Well we have a pipe issue in our basement where after a few seconds the water starts to come back up from the outlet where the washing machine is draining. So we have to "babysit" and hit the stop button repeatedly. However, when this machine (again similar to what you show) feels like something is screwing up, you can't stop it with the button, you have to unplug! Then when it plugs back in, it still wants to empty. So unplug, unplug etc. Anyyyhoooo. Long story short, here's what I just went through : THE DOOR LATCH WAS STUCK AND NOT IN THE PROPER POSITION. Our Whirlpool wasn't wanting to run a cycle proper because it couldn't "read" or "feel" or whatever word you want to use, that the close down top door was locked proper. Guess how long it took me to figure this out? Two hours. (sigh) But to your credit, I WAS able to start the diagnostic cycle. It's just that after flashing from green light to green light like in a traveling carnival or a malfunctioning traffic light, our machine didn't DO a diagnostic. Why? Because the lid wasn't locking.
Outstanding! I've had problems with the cycle sticking on wash. I performed the procedure as you described it, put a load in and headed for Sam's. Got back and the cycle complete indicator was on! How cool is that? 1000 thanks Ben!!!
Thanks so much! Mine doesnt have the left dial but i decided to try your video and is filling up again!! I was so scared my machine was broken! But this reset helped fix the problem!! 🤩🤩🤩
Thank you for this post! My Amana was filling and draining the tub at the same time. I got the lights to come on, turned it to the rinse button, and it drained the washer, with all the lights flashing. Tried restarting the wash, but it still drained. I went through the process a few times (the fill sensing kept coming on putting water in the tub, so finally I thought I’ll just let it fill, maybe I can get it to drain again. And it worked! My machine is chugging away. I wasn’t looking forward to the laundromat, it’s topping out over 100* degrees here.
When advertising a washing machine there’s no mention of calibration! I learned the hard way that calibration is the norm now for many popular brand washing machines.
Great video. I’ve tried these step several time but each time I only get the red flashing lid light. Any suggestions ? Is my lid mechanism malfunctioning? Any help / suggestions appreciated
This was very helpful, thank you. My machine still will not spin while rinsing. You mentioned that there were other codes to try. May I please know where to get those procedures? Thanks.
Ran through all 3 of these and washer started up like a charm. Thought we had our fix, then it got stuck in spin out mode (should be but wouldn't spin out enough) again with the lid lock stuck shut and lid lock flashing. Going to run through all the steps again cuz I can't afford to repair or replace and with a family of 6 plus 6 pets we do a lot of laundry!
Excellent video Ben - We just got a new top load Whirlpool Model WTW4855HW3. The machine is filling to a ridiculously low level even if set to Deep Water wash. The wash cycle also seems very short. I'll try your reset although no parts have changed and hope that works. Would you have any suggestions if the reset doesn't do the trick? Thanks again & much appreciated.
Thank you so much for providing these videos, I really appreciate it! I can't afford a repair person to come fix it. I like to try every thing possible myself first. Thanks again for all that you do! :)
Hi Ben, Thank you for this video. My machine was acting up over the last few months, intermittently. Unplugging the machine and plugging it back in always seemed to do the trick. This is not the case this time. I was washing a single blanket on the bulky/sheets cycle. I went to check on the machine, to find the drainage pump running and the lid lock light lit. I unplugged the machine, waited for approximately one minute and plugged it back in. I heard the reset click. No LED’s lit and the drainage pump came right back on. I attempted your other reset procedures covered in this video, without any luck. Every time I plug the machine back in, the drainage pump comes back on within a few seconds. I’m at a loss. Any other suggestions or thoughts? I’d appreciate any help that you could offer. Thank you.
I really like your videos! You explain everything so clearly. I have gone through and both recalibrated and put my Maytag washing machine in the diagnostic modes after installing genuine OEM parts - actuator, splutch, and control panel. Machine begins filling during the Sensing mode then stop filling and starts clicking. I was told that the lid lock light has to be on when the machine is filling. Is that true? Any idea why there is the clicking sound? thank you!
Thank you, I couldn't get it to go into diagnostic mode, so I though I needed another system board. You showed me the key was to go vertical, power it off, then power it on and do the rest of the steps.
Edited: Included the video's instructions and labeled it Step 0. Thanks @alleyfox9917!
Initially I couldn't get it to work, but after some digging online your instructions are correct but there's also a cadence to it!

I can’t get it work n like it seems others here I’m a single mom too n I just need it work! I kept trying n I can’t get it
Another thing to note is all dial should be at the 12 position. Or at the top position if doesn’t got to 12.
Worked the first time! Thanks. 🙏
Thank you

If stuck try removing the change ie pennies, etc. after you remove the drum.

Washing machines used to be so simple. Whirlpool engineers have created a monster. Management must be out of touch with reality.

This helped me, at least a little bit. I have a similar Whirlpool compared to what you show in the video. In fact almost the exact type and model. Anyway I just went through a devil of a time--as you may be aware, their defaults, when things aren't working proper, is to drain.

So we have to "babysit" and hit the stop button repeatedly.

Yes and not happy either
Thanks so much for this video, I'm now able to do my laundry again.
You’re amazing! Fixed washer just like that! Thank you!!!!
Thank you very much. The reset worked and saved my $$$$$$$$
I really like your videos! You explain everything so clearly. I have gone through and both recalibrated and put my Maytag washing machine in the diagnostic modes after installing genuine OEM parts - actuator, splutch, and control panel. Machine begins filling during the Sensing mode then stop filling and starts clicking. I was told that the lid lock light has to be on when the machine is filling. Is that true? Any idea why there is the clicking sound? thank you!
Thank you, I couldn't get it to go into diagnostic mode, so I though I needed another system board. You showed me the key was to go vertical, power it off, then power it on and do the rest of the steps.
Do you mean turn dial vertical unplug then plug in and go through rest of steps
I can't get mine in diagnostic mode either.. what did you do exactly?
Ben,I love you in a non sexual way! You just saved me $600. Bless you brother!
Glad it helped!
Worked well, thanks for the tips!
