It is such a blessing an help when someone posts a video that knows what the hell they are doing. Thank you. My issue so far has been exactly duplicated. Now for the next video, sensing shifter replacement.
Once upon a time a washer and dryer could last decades. Whirlpool bought up the competition and now the next document you get in the mail is the three year warranty that costs as much as the new unit. Our new Whirlpool HE washer lasted two years before the dreaded squealing belt started.
I know how you feel. These machines are pos.
What about is my washer have the red light on but don't do anything, how to fix that? Please show me
Mine didn't even last out of the box.
Bought my new whirlpool February 2020 & now it’s stuck on sensing mode. Now I’m on TH-cam trying to calibrate it but am not having any luck.
My moms been hanging on to a unit for going on 30 years. Dries in 30 minutes, had to replace a few parts over the years, belts etc, but the thing still works like a doctor. Now I’m looking at a washer that’s 2 years old that takes 3 hours to get thru a quick wash cycle then goes back to wash lol. Same unit as the one in the video
After watching several videos, your directions worked like a charm! Thank you!
I’m glad I could help. Help me out and like a subscribe. I also have a link to the some parts in the description. Hope you were able to fix it.
The highlight of this video for me was "how to find the manual". Thanks!
Thank you so muchthis is the second time I Amana washer stopped working and the guy that fixed it a year ago told me that I had to reset it and I looked at TH-cam videos at the TH-cam videos and I came to yours and you did it the right way thank you so much I really really appreciate 💓💓💓💓💓💓💯💯💯💯
Quinada Howard I’m glad i was able to help you out
Thank you for this video & the one before!! They saved us! My husband was able to order the switch & fix our machine! 🙌🏼
Glad I could help you both. Thanks for the support.
Thank you so much! I have the same exact make and model and the diagnostics you shown also.shpwn my sewing light flashing. So I ordered the part you posted I. The descriptions and just Installed it and were bsck to normal! Running like a champ. Thanks for your time and effort In this video. Saved me money during hard times. God bless man.

I’m glad I could help and thank you for your support. I have other videos on this unit for your future repairs.
WOW! Amazing diagnostics! Thank you., now I have to figure out how to fix sensor! Mines not agitating....or spinning ....awful! Tysm! Brilliant!
I have a video link at the end of this video that shows how to fix the sensor. I also have an Amazon link for the sensor. Thanks for supporting my channel and good luck on your repair.
This helped so much. Thank you. I was starting to freak out.
Awesome
Awesome info!
Thanks!
I have a similar model.
Mine was filling ok but a bit slow, and as soon as it filled, it would drain without agitating and then sit idle with wash light on forever..then I would abort/cancel the cycle and start it over.
I timed the fill and it was 30+ minutes. Checked the inlet screens, plugged up pretty bad.
Cleaned them, now it fills in 5-12 minutes depending on the cycle and functions perfectly...
What I learned is check and clean the inlet screens at least twice a year..
I cleaned mine and still not working. What did you do to clean them?
Hands down the most helpful video ever! I’m definitely subscribing to you after this! Thank you sooo much!! I saved so much money instead of calling a technician! 🙏🙏
I’m glade I could help. Thanks for the support and good luck with your machine.
@@OFFAxisBuilds @:
Thank you for the video, I was having an issues every time I changed the mode to not do a quick wash.
When spinning
Mine was stuck on spin, I followed your instructions and it worked thank you.
That’s great I’m glad I could help. Thank you for your support
Thank you & and bless you for doing these kinds of videos to help people save money.
Thanks for the tips. I found that service manual under that one side. But the plastic bag it was in would not let go. I ended up taking a pair of scissors and cutting the top of the back and pulling the pamphlet out. It was a little mangled from my pulling and yanking but I got it out.
No plastic bag, no lights, on this process worked last year, but not this yr, sounds expensive to repair. I seems to work, but clothes come out smelling like mildew. I’m betting my Florida Garage at 100 degrees isn’t the best place for this electronic device! I got it for free, time to go back to older style- thanks, video was great
In a different video, somebody showed the error codes, and 1 blinking "sensing" light meant there were no errors detected
Thanks so much. Extremely helpful.
I’m glad I could help thank you for supporting my channel
Thank you so much, your video was very helpful !
Glad I could help you out. Thanks for checking out my video.
I read the manual that some are mentioned below. It says you have to turn it clockwise to start getting the most recent error codes. It also says that the first sensing light indicates no error. Since you turned it to the left, it could mean that there is no error recorded that far
I have had three of this style washer (mayteg and whirlpool brand) they have been nothing but problematic. Constant hub stripped, washplate failure, shift motor, and other random issues. Mine is acting up once again this week. I'm going to try speed queen and hope for the best 🤷
Thanks for the video. I have the same washer and this helped alot.
The video was very helpful, now I can call maintenance and let them know exactly what's wrong.

Thanks for the video. I ran the diagnostic and it said it was the actuator switch. It was easy to replace it only cost me $60 and 15 min. You saved me a lot of money
Glad your machine is up and running. Thanks for the support.
Thanyou. I looked everywhere to find out how to run a diagnostics on my whirlpool WTW5000DW2 I did exactly what u showed here n yea sure enough its a sensing issue.
Raven Dubrinsky I’m glade I could help. Thanks for checking out my video.
@@OFFAxisBuilds ok so i figured out it only has sensing malfunctions when i try to wash blankets in it. I attempted to wash my table linens last night after seeing your video to figure out what was wrong. N it went thru all the cycles like normal when I washed my table linens. But when I throw a heavy blanket in it, it wont go into wash mode. Stuck in Sensing everytime i tried to wash any heavy blankets.
Raven Dubrinsky you could try putting less water in, and also putting the dial to heavy load.
@@OFFAxisBuilds ill have to give that a try today n see if it helps. I'll let you know.
Thank you so much. Fixed it!
thank you. I pulled the booklet out of the body of the machine and looked up the code and now I am good to go. Thank you
Glad I could help. Thanks for watching and supporting my channel
TNX 4 VIDEO !😅👍👌📚🔧🔩
Cata strophic I’m glad I could help. Thanks for checking my video out
This video helped me tremendously!! Thank you so much brother🙏🏾
Dude say turn it to rinse but its to the after care clean, although the light is rinse. Lol 1st time I just listen to the vid as he was saying what to do. 2nd time I watched. Seems to be working and thank you for a quick vid to the point very helpful. I liked the vid so maybe it can help more ppl with a quick fix
I have an Admiral top loader (a rebranded whirlpool). It would stop in mid cycle for no apparent reason. The codes indicated a bad control board. This would be time to buy a new washer if you had to get a new board, very expensive. I got a used one on eBay for $20 though, replaced it myself and it works great! (I thought it best to run through a calibrate cycle, look for that on YT). Make sure to get the same part number. They come in a few versions.
Super helpful, thank you.
It worked thank you so much 🙏🏼
Glad I could help. Thanks for the support
Showing the location of the service tech manual was a godsend. Trying to find help online for technical details about my particular Series 500 (which is like yours) keeps directing me to information about other models that isn't helpful.
I only found it by luck I was tearing down the machine for another repair and found it.
Thanks for this video. Ive had issues with my washer filling 25% on deep wash mode, hope this helps me out
Did you figure it out?
Mine is doing the same only filling up a quarter. Did u fix yours and was it the position sensor switch?
Check the air hose going from the tub to the panel. Might be obstructed. Or the pressure sensor failed.
Great video! One question: I have the same washer, but it stops at the rinse circle. What could possibly be the problem. I have already replaced the inlet valve, and I do have water coming in. Thank you so much for your time.
Thank you , had to start my loaf over but thanks
Does the water have to be connect to simply run the diagnostic?
Also, with the last turn in the video, it landed on sensing. What if the washer has nothing wrong with it? Will there be no lights? please let me know.
In other words, after we reach done, and then press start... what should happen after that if the washer works just fine?
Thank you for the video. I went through the steps and got the ‘sensing’ signal just like in your video doing replaced the sensor just like the videos. My washer still isn’t working. Thoughts?
Thanks found it & I have a different model number.
Crystal L. Good luck with your fix
Best Video on this!! Thank you for sharing!!
Thank you I’m glad I could help you thank you for supporting me.
Thank you for the great video and information it saved me. Gave you a thumbs up hope that you get money from it.
Colin Andersen
Thanks for your support and I’m glad I was able to help.
☺ Thanks!!
No problem!
We rent and this is the washer that was here. We have a maintenance guy that owns an appliance repair shop and the employee he sent can't figure it out either. I absolutely hate these things. Been washing my stuff at my mother in law's house for a week now...
Thank You!!!
Thank you!!!!!!!
Thank you for your video. I did all of this, ordered a new shift actuator, installed it, and still nothing works. Tried to call Whirlpool --they are no help. They want to just schedule a repair appointment. Tried their website--want to charge you to talk to a technician there, too! Whirlpool has an awful product and awful customer service.
Yea whirlpool is of no help. What are the symptoms of the unit?
Just had this washer delivered to my house, and it's a piece of crap, within 45 minutes of having it I was on the phone with Lowes requesting the come and get this crap, ol school washing machines are the best, I'm buying a used washer soon
Good get rid of that thing.
Do you know why this same washer wouldn't do a spin cycle after replacing the same part you did on this? I initially had this same issue, but now it will run the cycle without a full spin. I have reset the calibration as well.
Mine just keeps repeating a cycle from right to left on the led's . Haven't been able to track down any information on that. Any suggestions? Thank you.
We have a Whirlpool Cabrio washer (WTW5500BW0) that only clicks rapidly when start is pressed. F7E6 & F7E5 codes. Will this repair be costly? Should we just purchase a new washer?
Thank you..good video
+JuanMiguel FUNEZ I’m glad I could help. Thank you for your support.
I wish the washer was as helpful as this video. I know i'm not the only one that says this about this washer.
Nope I feel your frustration.
after every wash i need to use my high speed spinner machine because the washing comes out very wet and when i put it in the spinner machine buckets of water comes out, and if i dont use the spinner machine and put the clothes straight from the washing machine to the tumble dryer it takes a lot of time, i would not recommend personally.
These sensitive appliances of today drive me crazy. Appliances of yesteryear lasted a whole lifetime.
this really helps me bro.. thanks much 🥇
Rahmeek Vlogs I’m glad I could help.
My washer is having this exact problem. After pressing start while done is selected and all are blinking, I clicked it counterclockwise as you did in the video. It was blinking sensing. I tried diagnostic mode again but turned it clockwise and different things lit up. I am confused on what my issue is now 🥴
This is the exact problem I'm having with my washer! Now let's hope I can get what I need to fix it 🤦😆. Thanks for posting such an informative video on how to get into the diagnostics!
Glad I could help you. Good luck on your repair. Thank you for your support.
Cant find the shifting sensor replacement video 😪
th-cam.com/video/epHUJJVenJY/w-d-xo.html
I hope this helps. Thank you for your support
@@OFFAxisBuilds ty so much! Got the part ordered!
You can always buy a used Whirlpool Direct Drive or Newton Built Maytag Washer if this machine craps out.
My waaher sticks on final spin znd not gonnv to cycle complete icon with the lid remaining lock. Is the lid lock the problem or the sensor or both?
Thanks very much was helpful 😇✌the ppl who dislike the video go ask god for help!!
I’m glade I could help.
Will this also cause it not to fill up? I did the test and it showed the sensing thing. And you also here a click when it’s in spin mood it won’t do anything could it still be the sensing wire
I've got the same problem. After doing this diagnostic on it ..the sensing and spin lights are blinking...now what???? Lol. I'm going to get another washer. Good luck
I have this whirlpool washer and dryer set. does anyone have issue with mildew growing in the material on the front panel. It will not come clean! Our washer and dryer our in the lower level finished of our house. not in a musty basement. Help!!
How do you know it’s the sensing issues?
I have a wash just like that one it's filling to wash but not washing it lets out the water it sounding like it struggling to turn. I did the calibration about 6 times and it didn't work it didn't fill the water I had to manually put water and put it to wash it sounding like it going to wash but it's not after 2 hrs it started to wash on its own but when it finish wash and drain it didn't fill to rinse si I fill to rinse manually but it's not rinsing
Please I need your help desperately 😢 mine is an xpert system model 8mwtw1725cg1 and the LEDs are off, it was working, it got stucked while rinsing or at least it was trying to do so, my aunt did something and now I just can't make it work again, I tried all the resets, nothing has worked :( what else can I do?
Mine gets paused before rinse mode. I have to go out and hit the start button multiple times during a wash to complete a wash. Do you know what the issue may be?
Hi!
Thank you for explaining everything how the diagnose.
I did change the shifting sensor and I still have the same error,same issue.
is anything else I can do.
Please let me know
Same here! Did you find a solution?
I have Ditto Same model...When we Put the Load..Its Senses ,Then Door Doesn't lock on any mode (except Rinse and Spin Mode)..
Then it washes for 2 minutes and then that's it..What could be the problem..
Mine is having issues as well. I will use this to diagnose. When washing, the barrel doesn't move. The cloths just lie still. But when it rinses, it spins. Is there 2 belts?
Sounds like your shifter switch is broken. I have a link in the description to another video on how to replace that part.
My washer wasnt doin anything just sensing but nothing else. I change that shifter with an use one now it washes fine and stuff but now it wont spin do you think is the used actuator i just put in. The thacometer is with tbe actuator right?
You could check the door switch. Also try to reset the washer. Unplug it for 30 seconds and the plug it in. Turn the knob yo normal and lift the lid 6 times before the first 30 seconds of being plugged back in.
OFF AXIS BUILDS Oh my gosh! Thank you so much! I followed your diagnostic checker and it was the sensing cycle. Before I tried to get the part and someone to replace it, I thought I would try this reset. Voila! It works again! You are the best!😀
Awesome to hear. Thanks for checking out my video.
What do you do when this fix didn't work? I replaced this switch and still have the same issue and same diagnostic results after the repair. Great video but inconclusive. Now what? I'm going to the laundry mat again today.
Thanks for the video! Any recommendations on what to do if it’s plugged in, won’t turn on, and the diagnostic mode doesn’t work?
Do any lights at all come on?
You may have to try several times to get it in diagnostics
Or you may have a bad circuit board
Or there is something disconnected on the board or motor
Let us know what you find
According to the manual on my machine. If only the sensing light is flashing this means NO Error. The manual says the first flash will flash the sensing light plus another light, this is the function code. The second flash the sensing light will be off and any other lights flashing indicate the error code. You then combine the function code and the error code to determine the cause listed in the manual you referenced.
You are right, he needs to read pages 6 and 7🤣
You are so right and he is soooo wrong! Mine showed the sensing light.....and nothing is wrong with my sensor.
@billshipley6320
My sensing light flashes only, what does that mean, also my washer didn't come with a manual
Great video can you repost me the Link of the video you did change the sensing sensor I have the same problem on my machine ...Thanks 😊
Yea me too. No video found though
Hi, thanks - if I have an overheated motor with burnt insulation, or slipped belt, would this diagnostic tell me?
Benjamin Fan yes it will. After it does the diagnosis it will give you a series of blinks. You can read these blinks from your book that’s inside of the washing machine. If you think it’s a slipped belt that’s really easy to check. If you tilt your machine you can look under it.
ours will start a new load and wash it then drain.....then it stops at wash and flashes while making a click noise every few seconds and will not move on. At first sometimes it would go through all the way fine and then at times we could cancel and start again from just "rinse and drain" and it would go on through but not anymore. It will not calibrate but I am getting the same diagnostic code as you are here. So would that still be the shift sensor in your opinion?
Yes it is more than likely the shift sensor. It’s just a plastic lever.
Hi, thanks I resolve my problem but i still have another problem and is with autosensing anything i put inside i get full tub of water I experiment with only 2 towels and still getting full tub of water ...☹
My whirlpool washer i change the spring and still spinning wildly and i reset it too can u help me please
I have this exact washer. What happens if non of the lights come on
I have the same washer, loud knocking sound when its about to stop the spin, what can it be? Out of warranty. Thanks
I had the same issue it’s the transmission. I have another video installing that part.
th-cam.com/video/nWJJiCRlvKE/w-d-xo.html
Could the problem of not spinning be intermittent happening now and then ? Sometimes I find clothes heavy wet then I have to go thru the "rinse and spin" cycle to get them damp.
Are the items that remain wet big like blankets? If d see do try running fit on the large load setting. It will spin the water out longer.
Also change the load size to match how much clothes you are putting in and it will use less water through the load cycle.
Transmission could be going out.
what about when no leds light up ? i cant figure that out
My washing machine has the final cycle light on flashing so I can't get it into the mode to reset/calibrate the machine. Any ideas? If I press start it locks the lid but doesn't spin
+Matt Monroe try unplugging it waiting 5-10 before plugging it back in. The after you plug it in press the start button 10 times. It will do a hard reset.
I have the same machin. My issue with it everytime I push start it goes straight to the rinse cycle. I can't seem to find a fix for this anywhere. Would you be able to help me?
Does it actually say rinse or do you just hear the water during the sensing cycle? Try unpluggingit for 30 seconds
Then plug it back in
Then press the start button 20 times before it fully turns on. It should reset your machine
Sorry 10 times not 20
I have the same washer you do not have to wait have a half second “left right right right left right
how long do you have to wait?
About 1 second between each turn.
Hello I did the diagnostic mode but only two lights-wash and spin were lit, nothing else.
Is the blinking that determines it that part is the problem?
It depends. IR you in the diagnostic mode. If you are then you need to get your maintenance book out and flip to the page that tells you hat the blinks stand for. The book usually is under the life between the drum and front sheet metal.
Hey so I just did the diagnose and the sensing fill light was the code that went off and I figured since my washer won’t start doing anything but flash that light the minute I try to wash a load. Did you ever put out the video of you fixing it?
Is this a new unit? If so there is a plug on the water inlet.
I do t have the manual. Where can I find the error code list please? Thanks for the video BTW.
It could also be your lid latch is bad, or your water valve is stuck closed. There are a few things that could cause it not to fill.
Anyway to fix?
What’s going on with your machine?
@@OFFAxisBuilds so i replaced the shift sensor thing recently. Washer seems to be on sensing and i hear a pulse sound and it keeps trickling water. Wont switch over to wash cycle. The water sounds like it fills normally
At this point just buy a new one
Hello my washer will not drain the water in it I unplug it n plug it back in it makes a sound n still water in it
I’ve replaced the sensor and the issue is still happening. Now what? In desperate need to have this fixed asap! 😅
Every light came on and weren’t flashing when I tried self diagnosing. What does that mean?
How do you get it to wash clothes ? My clothes still computer dirty not clean
When it was getting stuck and not going into the wash cycle would you washer lock? Or stay unlock?
+Dawn Young honestly I believe it would stay locked but I have had many issues with this washer.
I have changed the locking lid mechanism. Now my washer won't fill up. Can u pls help
I have this same washer but it does not advance to next cycle just keeps repeating same cycle and skips done light anyone has any suggestions? To get to next cycle from washing I manually move then gets stuck on rinse and spin cycle and never finishes i eventually have to hold down cancel button after it spins. The door does lock.
My machine won't fill with water, very low water level that doesn't even cover the clothes. I can't find any errors, what should I do?
Do you have a link on how to fix the shifter? This is exactly what mine did in diagnostic mode. It drains but doesn’t spin. Thanks!
Yes here is a link for the transmission and one for the shifter switch
