  • 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!

    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.

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.

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.

    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!

    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)

      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.

      @@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.

    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?

    • @DIYKAI
      @DIYKAI  Год назад

      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!

      @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.
