- With inflation at an all-time high and the price of things going through the roof it's important to start fixing things we can before tossing them.
This Whirlpool wash machine was getting stuck on the sensing cycle and never starting we replaced the Washer Shift Actuator and that fixed the issue for $32 buck beats buying a new one for thousands. Other countries prices may vary!
We hope this helps!

Great video ! Talked slow and showed in slow motion all the steps needed to fix my washer ! Thanks ! You are the best yet. Don't stop making your videos. They are remarkable ! Hope you will put one up soon on Kenmore dishwashers... : )
@@Jumperncfreedom I don’t have a kenmore but I believe I have one up and will have others most likely. Thanks
I’m doing it now but I’ll leave my green light came on to something like not the red lock button
I wanted to make sure I commented “thank you”. I had the sensing issue, did the diagnostics as shown, and ordered the part from Amazon. You went slow enough to show all the major details, which is greatly appreciated for not-so-handy guys like myself. I appreciate it!
@@Gotmark76NWAWWF2KWrestling your welcome! Glad we could help
My grandparents brand new whirlpool was doing this. i went through the manual and found that you Must use the u-shape mold holder thing on the drain pipe when fitted above the standing pipe drain type that comes up directly behind the washer. It also stated to not have more than x ammount of inches inside the drain pipe. I checked it and the u-shape was not being used and there was a good foot shoved down the drain pipe. I also found the hot water was shut off the manual states to leave it on even if not doing hot washes. After correcting these two issues it started to work as normal. THE DRAIN PIPE SETUP PART IN THE MANUAL is important if installed wrong the machine will stall on sensing and sometimes it will halway fill up with water.
Good info thanks
THIS - THANK YOU....installed my new to me washer in my first home this week and PANICKED because it sounded like it was stalled.....I realized I didn't used the U-shaped mould for the drain pipe- it is REQUIRED ..bless you bro

@@DIYKAI After doing the test Wash Spin and Rinse are all lit up. Any ideas? Thx
I have this same washer I trying to get going for a friend, and it just fills with water, I ran the same diagnostic mode and get the "Sense" error. It will spin fast and drain, but never start the actual agitate wash cycle. Is it still going to be the sense (cycle) motor? Looks like a stepper motor to me,, Thanks for the video, great help.
Hard to say without seeing it...
Have you tried a recalibration yet?
@@DIYKAI I was going to next. I just found it looks like an F0E5 out of balance error code. Will putting it into Calibration Mode help?
@@alanw5879 check the hangers and springs on the basket make sure they are ok
I reset the machine after checking the hangers and springs, they were all good. , but doing the reset and then running the calibration cycle seemed to do the trick. I found the manual taped to the inside of the machine. That was helpful for the diagnostics menu. But this all started with a bad Lock switch. Crazy, I guess the machines needs a reset/recalibration after replacing any components. It was smoother on the spin cycle after the recalib, also. @@DIYKAI
I was just about to replace the Sync motor underneath too, glad I took another look at it, weird how it wouldnt run the Agitate though, just kept filling with water, weird machines. Thanks for the video tho, it helped.
I'm female most guys say no way! Thanks to you I did it!! So easy cause u make it that way!!
Thank you! Glad you were able to get it working
Thank you so much ! I have the exact washer & I was having issues with it. I didn’t change the part but tried resetting & recalibration like you did it & so far it’s working. Was so sad because it was my second washer that has failed on me. Appreciate you !
Your welcome! Glad you were able to get it up and running again without spending😊
This video was great. Totally describes what is needed to fix this issue. Washer back up and running.
Glad we could help!
Thank you for sharing this info. I tried it and it worked. You saved me from calling an appliance technician and spending money.😊😊😊😊
Your Welcome! Glad we helped you save $$$
Hmmm, I have a maytag bravos that was stuck in sensing mode, w/the tub moving for just a second and then stopping…then doing it again but no water. I watched your video and replaced the part plus ran it through recalibration (which only took a couple of minutes and then all the lights turned off so I assumed finished). I turned the knob to deep water wash and it did the same thing as before….
Try to unplug it for 30 minutes or so and do a recalibration again see if that helps maybe?
Same! I changed the part and recalibrated. I washed one load and the same thing happened.
I have a Cabrio that spins but stops counting down at 17. Suspension seems okay. Never came across this before. It was a trade in I got a good while ago and haven’t gotten back on it. It is amongst like 30 I need to get back on.
Any idea?
RPM Sensor?
Cracked rotor?
Board?
have you run the diagnostics test on it?
I've watched a few of these...this one's the best. Thank you for uploading it.
Your welcome
Great video! Bought the part on Amazon for $22. Would have cost me $300 to have somebody fix it. Took me 20 minutes.
Thanks glad it helped
@@DIYKAI Hey brother, I changed my shift actuator and inlet valves. My washer still stays in sensing mode. It fills with water then drains it out. Error code is long fill. However, i connected a different washer to the same water source and it ran just fine. Can you point me in the right direction sir?
My GE washer does every cycle correctly but when it starts to was it seems like it does not have the normal power cause clothes stay in one place. When it rinses motor takes of with super power. The only issues is when in washing mode. What could it be and what do I need to replace. Before when it was filling up it would semi-spin until full and now it dont do that either. Watching from Central America, Guatemala City. Thank you.
hello possible check the run capacitor
@@DIYKAI I dont see one on ,ine I just checked.
My whirlpool washer has the same error. I bought that exact same part but it did not fixed the issue. Im still troubleshooting. Next thing to replace is the water solenoid valves🤷♂️
Will this work if we didn’t do the check BEFORE changing the part? We didn’t find this video until after we replaced it and it didn’t work
yes just follow the recalibration steps
Thank you so much! It worked for us! Great instruction. You absolutely rock!
@@klwaltg your welcome! Glad it worked for you!
Great video up and running in no time thank you
Thanks and you’re welcome!
thank you for the video my parents are on pension and on a budget they have a maytag but everything looks similar I removed the motor and trying to find one numbers are different than what you had
Possibly the part numbers are different because the one we used was not a factory original
@@DIYKAI I figured it out and ordered it the Kenmore motor looked similar but electrical connection was entirely different but searched the model number on Amazon and got the right one for 30 bucks the one you ordered in the video was 76 bucks
@@campman8670 Good deal glad you found it....the part we listed is only 28 bucks not sure what part you were looking at that was so expensive
@@DIYKAI the exact part you listed on this video is 76 bucks on Amazon in canada
@@campman8670 oh makes sense now I have the link for USA….we just were able to get our Canadian links so hopefully the prices equal out but I heard the taxes and import fees are very high up to you guys?
You just save the day, have exactly the same problem, just order the part, thanks a million 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
thanks glad we could help!
This is the perfect video, all the steps, and I am washing again. I am very grateful. Thank you
Your welcome glad we could help!
Great video! When I flipped my washer over I noticed debris through the semi-clear plastic bottom behind the drain pump. Should this be cleaned out, or should it clear out once the unit is back up and operational?
@@Epickerd it's a good idea to clean everything while you have it flipped
Can you help me I already change the motor and calibrated the machine it work but after a few minutes the machine stuck again
Can you run the diagnostics on it again and see what it says? Is it stuck on sensing again?
I changed the part I recalibrated it when I tried to wash it was stuck on sensing within the lock light
Sorry we only showed what worked for us we are not Maytag repair people
Thank you DIY KAI for your very detailed and informative video. Because of you I was able to repair my whirlpool washer for only $39. I REALLY APPRECIATED THE RECALIBRATION RESET INFORMATION AS WELL.👍😊
Your welcome! Glad we could help 😃
My whirlpool top loader is in sender mode and it's not starting to wash. I bought it last month and my husband installed it but it's not washing neither the light comes on when the lid is locked. Only sense filling has been blinking. What can I do to fix it?
Does the water fill?
I tried to pour water in the machine by using a bucket because my water connection to the machine is very low. But it's still on sensing fill and won't goes into wash.
Great Video and appreciated but how would one know if it’s the solenoid or the part you replaced??
Thanks you would have to run diagnostic mode and pull the codes
Similar issue with mine. Replaced shift motor, no change after calibration. Thinking i heard the drive motor try to come on. I put it on a stand and ran auto test while watching main pulleys. They moved slightly with a motor hum but then stopped. Gonna try a start capacitor and then another motor. If that doesn't work then motherboard is next. I took motor off and connected straight to extn cord. It did not want to start but eventually did. It was just arcing at terminals with no movement. I think its my motor that's bad. We'll see.
could be the run cap for sure as the motor is probably a high amp draw that's maybe why it started slow....
@@DIYKAI I figured it out. It's working like a top now. Had to lay the unit on the side and I was tracing the wiring from the motor up to the controller and before it goes into the harness there's a coil of red electrical wire zip tied to the frame. And there's a connector were three wires come together. It was faulty and burned. Replaced it and I'm back in business. Thanks for your help.
@@headpainter1 awesome! No worries glad it’s up and running
Thank you so much for saving me hundreds of dollars.
Your welcome!
Hi! Thank you for explaining this! I changed this out in my washer but my tub doesn’t seem to be turning now. Any ideas?
Did u do the calibration
I did. Could it be the belt? It spins, or sounds like it is in the spin cycle but not the wash cycle.
Could be the belt slipping or the run capacitor maybe?
Not sure. I performed the “error” and it comes up Wash Rinse Spin.
Something else I’ve noticed, the tub, I can move it from side to side.
Thank you for your video. It helps me to fix my kenmore top load washer. Once again thank you very much. It costs me only $80 for the part. I am really happy my washer now is working.
Your welcome! Glad we could help save you $$ in the crazy times we are in
I have a Kenmore series 200 and the sensor light is coming on and it just won't if I order a sensor, is it as easy for Kenmore to replace as a whirlpool? I'm not a feeble woman but I am older and I live alone so it's up to me and only me LOL
I would appreciate it if you could tell me.
Great info! Having just worked on one of these this was perfect, thanks!
Thanks & your welcome!
So how do I know what the problem is? You didn't show how to do the diagnostics
We unfortunately are not Maytag repair people so we don’t dive into the deep stuff we are just showing what worked for us as well as hundreds of others that it worked for
I’m having issues with the same thing but I do what you’re doing on the dial and I hit start load then it starts. Other than that will not start unless I do that…
Not sure?
So, if I’m having this exact issue and (I’ve ran the calibration and it said the sensing fill was the issue) will
It also not lock too? Or is the lock the problem? It locks during the calibration though?
Yes should lock during calibration
Going to buy the actuator today, as the diagnostic showed the sensing light just as yours did.
@dylanburson6647 let us know how it works good luck
@ so it seemed to work for about a week and now it’s doing it again after replacing the actuator any ideas?
Thank you for posting the recalibration instructions. It worked on my Whirlpool washer. Thx so much.
Your welcome!
Thank you for your video. I feel so frustrated. My whirlpool is only 9 months old and today the sensing light is flashing and I don’t know if it ever washed but it might have? The load thankfully was small. I noticed it wasn’t spun completely and still more wet than normal if cycle was performed correctly. Then I noticed socks were still soiled. I am so disappointed and dislike the challenges of new machines. I hope whirlpool and lowes will take responsibility as I bought this less than a year ago new. 💔 just an unexpected updat: I held the start/pause button for 5 seconds and the sensing light turned off! I had also unplugged my machine an hour earlier and replugged it but the sensing light still flashed. The machine is miraculously doing a wash cycle correctly now. I held the start/pause button for 5 seconds instead of 3 and took a chance and it’s working!
Hopefully they will under a year and still should have warranty…let us know hopefully it works out for you
Thanks for fixing my Kenmore washing machine Bra you Rock
Your welcome! Glad we could help
hi my amana washer is filling with water and both hot and cold works but when the water gets to the top it drains... I am unsure if it's the actuator or the capacitor. The lid also pauses the sensing fill cycle. Before that the washer would wash then quit wont advance
it also doesnt calibrate the lights do the cycle but the lid wont lock like it did in the video
Ok,first thing is thanks for your video. My agitator would not work and I checked the dogs, ok- took off the entire agitator and checked gears, ok-- local parts store here the guys are terrific and very helpful. I ordered that part and wifey and I put it on, then we ran the recalibrate-- very important step-- do NOT leave it out. Washer works better today than when new.
Your welcome!
Ok so my whirlpool top load washer fills spins but will not automatically go to rinse mode and that was ok we just made it work by manually making it rinse and spin. But NOW it won't wash. A washer mechanic said it was either the plug or the sensor. Help what do I do. Our repair man is retired
Have you tried to pull the error codes?
Thank you for this! What did they have your replace? I've replaced my agitator sensor and my pulley assembly. It still isn't sensing.
I changed my shift actuator. The washer operates as it should during the automatic test mode. However, when i attempt to wash a cycle it senses, fills up with water, then drains the water out and does not go to the wash cycle.
I'm having the same issue
Thank you thank you thank you exactly what I needed to fix.
Your welcome! Glad we could help
Thank you for this video. I'm going to try this and save my washing machine 🙂
Hope it works out!
Awesome video! I so appreciate your help! I am now a subscriber!!
Thanks 🙏
That blinking sensing light is not the error code. You need to turn the knob to the right. It will flash a series of lights which will indicate the error code. Keep turning it to the right, and it will continue flashing remaining error codes. The blinking sensing light indicates you have reached the end of the stored codes. (It will store 4 error codes)
Good info thanks
What determines what the error is, mine is working kinda but is extremely slow. If it helps I’m on a well and that went last week, wondering if the water lines got filled with sut from the sediments that got blown out when then the new pump got turned on.
I ran it on normal, checked it an hour later and was stuck on Washing with no movement. Then did quick wash, got to rinse, then went back to wash.
Mine has the sensing fill button blinking and the other lights except lid locked, are on. How do I get it to WASH?
Does the washer fill with water?
@@DIYKAI No, the lights go out after a few minutes. I can get it to wash now by lifting the lid after pushing start, turning the dial to the right 2 or 3 notches, close lid and push start again and it works…hopefully, I’m not messing up the electronics.
Remove the water hoses and check the screen for blockage
Thank you!!! New sub. You fixed my washer!!!!!
Your welcome! Glad we could help 😀
Hey I have a GE top load washer that’s not filling with water the lid locks than the sensing light runs across can you point me in the right direction
You will have to put it into diagnostic mode and pull the codes. Would need the model#
You mentioned the tub rocking back and forth. Do you have a video or insight on what to look at/fix for that issue? Mine is coming up on 7 years old. For starters, it's been acting weird lately with the lights and stopping mid-cycle and not finishing. I tried a recalibration from another video (a different method than yours) and after doing that twice, it's working ok now, but I have a bad feeling it's not going to last. I may try your recalibration method after that. If that doesn't make it run right, I'll try swapping this part you mentioned. The other issue is the rocking back and forth. It's been doing that for a few years, and it's VERY bad. Sounds like an earthquake in my house. We make sure to even the clothes out too. I've never looked into this rocking issue, though. Didn't think there would be a fix for that. Any ideas?
as far as the rocking you can check 2 things the little feet on the bottom corners are adjustable by turning then in or out.....see if its off level slightly.
the other would require turning the machine on its back and checking the basket hanger spring to see if they disconnected or broke.
hope this helps!
I have a whirpool it washes but doesnt change to the next setting, but the water level doesn’t cover all clothes would this piece fix that too?
Not sure you can pull the hoses off and makes sure the screens are not clogged at all. You would have to run a diagnostic on your washer
Hi, once I did the diagnostic assessment to my Whirlpool Washer MOD WTW5000DW1 the lights Sensing and Wash remained on. What it could be? What should I do next. Thank you.
Have you checked the drain hose for clogs? As well as the hot & cold fill hoses make sure there is no trash in the screens.
Man !!! Thank you so much ! It did exactly what you showed how to do !! Very cool $35 bucks for the part &15 min to fix !
Your welcome! Glad we could help. Save that

I replaced both fully and the little motor and ran the diagnostic test and it failed, is there way to check the small motor?
hello tech man,,,well your video is great,never new some of the basics of this unit,I have a lady friend with this kenmore and it stopped working ,,i said I would try and find some repair facts,and I hope ypu can tell me something,when she presses the button for 3sec,the green light lights up on the far left,and you hear a mechinacil sound,she said if fill up half-way and the unit drained out,their is a part called a water-inlet value,with a red& blue end with a screw thread on each,they have a solinead circuit on the red&blue end,coud this part be deffective,by itself,or could the motor sync on the bottom be the problem,or both parts,thanks fo any help on this,,dan diorio,,
I have this issue and I replace the shift actuator but it's not fixed it just overfill and it wasn't not pressure hose
What exactly is happening?
@DIY KAI in the initial stage the machine was not agitating or spinning. I used the service manual to enter the diagnostic settings and pulled up the error codes. Everything pointed to the shift actuator and the power control board. I replaced the shift actuator and calibrate it. The cycles are fine except it keeps overfilling. Did some more check in keeping with the technician manual and everything now points to the power control board. I am not getting a specific voltage from the board.
@@seanwilliams5403 yea some of these things are getting old we have a newer one now this was an extra one we are dreading the day we have an issue with the new ones lol
@DIY KAI ok, so the next step for me it to source a power control board Rev A
I have a maytag bravos mct it is stuck on sensing I checked the error codes and none are stored only the sensing light flashes no fault I replaced the shifter and same problem. Also the automatic test passes. Calibration completes no problem. Rinse and spin work drain and spin work still stuck on sensing mode and won't go further. Any ideas.
What is the issue if ' rinse spin and complete ' lights up
Not sure have you run a diagnostic
Thanks 🙏 you are a angel in this world.
Thanks 🙏 your welcome
Do you have a link for the motor? Also may need to replace the belt.

My Kenmore series 500 HE washer was doing the same exact thing. I followed your steps after installing new synchronized motor washer did all cycle steps but no wash or spin it filled and drained lights light up appropriately during cycle but no wash or spin any suggestions on what to try next
we can only guess? as we are not washer repair people. maybe the run/start capacitor

I removed my actuator and tested it with a 120v supply and it worked. Yet my machine still giving the same error
Have you tried to recalibrate it? Sometimes the part can fail intermitted, or you could have another issue causing the error
@DIYKAI I recalibrate it but it's still not washing, rinsing or spinning
Okay mine's not doing exactly that like I can do the sensing it will fill in the water to go to wash and then it drains but if I try to hit the starter stop button nothing nothing is light up but I can hear my washer trying to run
Maybe the start run capacitor

not sure but it seems we have so many techs in the comment section....lol....maybe one of them can chime in or better yet make a video?
This is my current issue. Let me know when you find the answer.
My issue is that the tub fills too much. I thought this motor may have been the problem, but I’m not sure now.
Possibly a fill sensor?
mine goes to sensor then it keeps putting water in but doesn't go to wash, I can do all other modes no problem
Great video, but my machine fills then drains , hope u can assist me
You will have to run the diagnostic codes
The gear cases / drive motors are notoriously bad in these. In one week I picked up 4 may tag versions that look exactly like this as whirlpool, ge, may tag are all same company now. If the main seal go the gear case motor soon will follow and is a $300 part. I get similar free broken ones then piece together a working one.
I just replaced this very part about 2 months ago...... it's broken again....just like before, mine won't shift into agitate, just barely moves & clicks....it will spin out tho (kinda poorly, leaving laundry a bit too wet)
My question to you is, this actuator/shifter sat brand new & unopened in my garage for at least 3 years.....in your opinion, do you think that played a role in it's quick failure?
Appliances these days are plastic trash.
Hello so as far as sitting not really unless the conditions were terrible like super hot super cold or wet.
What we commonly see is either the tub is over loaded should only be about 3/4 full or the capacitor could be going out
@@DIYKAI thanks for your quick reply, I never overload the machine (they are so prone to break down even when you baby them) I will check out that part recommendation, my error code was sensing like yours.....it gets very hot/humid here....maybe just a dud part I had. TY again.

I was able to free the motor by moving the gear back and forth. Also, a little plastic tooth was not in a groove. Did not have to buy a part. Results may vary. May just get the part for a spare.
Good deal!
great video, i have the exact same machine, i tried going into the menu, but no lights, if i hit the start button, i get a solid sensing light with nothing else, if i hit start button again, sensing light flashes, start again, solid sensing light and so on. my beginning issue was the washer would not drain. i have taken the washer outside, took the back off and drain hoses, nothing was clogging the hoses. is there a drain filter on this unit? possible drain motor might need replaced, sensor board bad? i really dont want to buy a new washer, but this one is right around 10 years old.
Thanks, the best way is to try and pull the codes…if it’s giving trouble unplug it for 10 or so minutes and retry…..don’t think there is a serviceable drain filter, yes the drain motor could be bad, at 10 years look at the capacitor as well they tend to wear out with age as well
