Thank you so much!! I fixed my washer on my lunch break with your tutorial.
That's awesome! I'm glad I could help! Thank you for supporting the channel!
Oh my goodness! I just fixed my washer by following this video. I’m 68 and a grey-haired old lady with limited vision but I did it!!!!!! I figured I had nothing to lose by trying ( I’m big on trying new things) and if I failed I’d call a repairman. Thank you SOOOOOOO much! You just saved me $$$$$$!
Great job! This comment made my day! I am glad you were not afraid to give it a shot! Glad I could help!
Me Too!!!
Hi.. You just motivated me to try and do this on my own.
Great video…. I am not technically inclined. This video saved me thousands. Many thanks well done!
I watched about 8/9 different videos about this problem & this was the only video where this man at least gave you the option of trying to clean the contacts before you buy a new interface control board, thank you & good job !
Same here, legit fix for sure
Just saved me multiple thousands of dollars. Washer was out but of course you can’t have a mismatched washer dryer……
Followed the video and it’s back to life! So grateful my friend.
Thank you
That's so awesome!
This video is awesome! Woke this morning to my washer not working searched up the issue and your video was one of the first to pop up! Yours was the easiest to follow and within 30 min I was done & fixed!!! Thank you so much for this! Def saved my little family lots of $$
Your welcome! Glad I could help you and your family!
This video was excellent. The failure mode was exactly the same, and the process to resolve worked exactly as described in the video. Very appreciative. Thank you sincerely
Thank you for watching!
Thank you so much. You saved me an expensive service call.
OMGoodness- just tried this fix and it worked right away. My wife had been ready to buy a new one. Thank you, thank you, thank you for keeping us from wasting our money on a new one! I greatly appreciate you!
That is awesome! Glad I could help! I appreciate all the kind words!
We are so fortunate to find this video! I had a $60 service appt coming and the husband found this. It was corroded exactly the same as in the video! Cleaned and it worked! Who knows how much money this video saved us. We saw a bunch of videos that were stating a whole another control panel is needed and $$.. try this first! Thank you again!
Glad I could help!
You saved me $1200 homie 🙏🏻
Warranty people said no one around me could fix it so they gave me a gift card for $799
Cleaned the board up with some alcohol and it turned right back on 👏🏻👏🏻
I used affresh washer machine cleaner a couple weeks back and I think the steam sent it over the edge after a couple years of collecting moisture
Either way thanks again!!
That's awesome! Glad it worked!
Thank u exactly what was wrong with mine. Had for about 18 months and went to do laundry today and wouldn’t turn on. To a non experienced person all this took about 45min- 1hr. Trickiest part is when u take screws out and pull the top forward u need to wiggle back about 1/4 inch to undo the clips.I paused the video and looked which way the hooks were. Video is excellent
Great work! Glad you found the video to be helpful!
Thanks for your comment as it solved our problem.
I use this video step-by-step..... And it worked !..... Took me about an hour from start to finish.... But I'm kind of slow 😅
I think I avoided at least a $350 repair bill .....plus my Wife is Super impressed with me !!!!!!!
Awesome! Great work on the repair
Thx man. Was able to fix it and looked like a experienced handy man in front of the wife
Right on! That is awesome! Glad I could help
Thank you for sharing your knowledge about this issue. It was exactly the issue with my washer. I followed your steps exactly and now my washing machine is working again, THANK YOU!
Glad I could help!
Thanks "Duct Tape Mechanic" you just save me BIG TIME!!!! My washer didn't turn on this morning so after pricing a new one at ~$900, I then started pricing the board and/or the control panel I stumbled across this video. THANKS!!!! It totally worked.
Comments like this keep me going! Glad to help!
Wow would have never found this without the video. I was ready to buy a new board. Thanks
Glad I could help
Excellent video! My contacts were Black , cleaned it with alcohol pads and Q-Tips and was amazed how the copper color appeared. Machine working perfectly. Thank You!
Awesome! Glad it helped!
Great info! The secondary pads where some alternate connector was included in the PCB layout was corroded as you suggested. The corrosion seemed to be corrupting the serial data line! Since there was not a connector populated at this footprint the effects of the corrosion was elusive to me until you pointed this out. Thanks for the good posts!
Awesome! Glad I could help! Great job fixing your washer!
Ok good video u forgot to tell people if they see an error code. f6 e3 thats the interface error code and after cleaning they can use a bit of clear silicone on those contacts to prevent that problem in the future 25 years experience with whirlpool
Bro you saved a lot of money. I followed those steps and in just 15 minutes it was back on. Thank you so much.
Your welcome! Glad you found the video helpful!
Thank you for your help it really helped me to fix my washer 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I have been in dirty clothes for couple weeks before I fixed
What a great help this was . 30 minutes snd back in business! Thank you!!
Glad to help! Thanks for watching
Great video! My Maytag powered right up after i cleaned the copper pieces. Thank you!
Awesome! Glad I could help!
Thank you so much ! I was able to solve my Maytag Washer's issue by following your steps. Other persons shows the videos about repairing washers but were missing some information in demonstration .
Glad to help! Good job fixing your washer!
Hah! This worked!! I watched another video that talked about testing and replacing the circuit board. I’m glad I came across your video. My contacts weren’t dirty like your video but enough to make a difference.
Glad it helped you!
Worked for me on my 2019 washer! Took me about an hour and half as I am rusty and slow with tools but end of the day it worked and saved me 1k of replacement cost! Feels good when you get an old machine to work.
Great job! I am glad you were able to fix your washer!
❤ thank you so much!!! The last time they scammed me that they needed to replace the control board!!!! Literally in 10 minutes got this fixed. That design is trash Maytag.
Yes, terrible design! I'm glad I could help!
Great video, I followed your instructions and my washer is now operational, thanks so much!
Glad to help!
I just fixed my dad's washer! Thank you for helping me make my dad believe I'm super smart 😂
That's awesome! I'm sure dad is impressed!
Thank you for the video. That was our our Problem! Up and running!
You're welcome!
You explain things, so even a moron like myself can understand. Thank you, gonna try that tomorrow.
You are no moron sir. A moron would have thrown out the washer without trying to fix it!
Brother this saved me some worry and headache thanks !!!!🙏
Glad to help!
Thank you so much!! I have a Maytag Centennial which is a different model but it looks similar and i had a similar route to get into the panel. I couldn’t find that little slot where you clean of the corrosion but I used my hair blow dryer to take out all the dirt/dust. I left my house for 2 months but my washing machine felt like it was 3 years and wouldn’t turn on. That fixed and and you saved me time/money. Awesome🎉
Awesome Job fixing your machine! (Maytag/whirlpool/kenmore are the same company so they all have similar issues) Thanks for watching!
Genius! Mine looked brand new but I still rubbed alcohol and it started working again .Thanks
Awesome glad to hear that!
great video, our five year old washer is back up and running. Thanks
I really needed this to work for me today. I’m totally bummed.
Thanks for DIY it a big help to us. We appreciated 🙏
Excellent video; got right to the heart of the problem. ~5 year-old Maytag Bravos XL is back to life! Thank you!!
Hey thanks for the easy fix that would have cost me $300+ 30 min and done👍🏼😎now I can head to the beach…Aloha!!
Hey no fair! I deserve some beach time as well! Jk enjoy!
Duuuuuuuude!!!! Because of you I might get some tonight!
Hahahaha this is funny! Best of luck!
Great video thanks for the info. This worked for me the first time, a month later the washer failed again with an F2 E1 error. I took apart the console and cleaned several contacts that had corrosion in addition to the visible one you cleaned.
Thanks for watching glad you liked it! If the problem keeps happening perhaps look into covering the opening with electric grade silicone.
Thank you thank you sir. Amazing. My wife thinks im a genius. Washer works perfectly after cleaning contacts.
Happy wife, happy life!
This did the trick. 👍 Thank you for the video.
Thanks! Worked for me. Wish you success, good health, and happiness.

Glad I could help! Comments like these really make my day!
Thank you, this was the exact issue and exact fix. Appreciate it.
Glad it worked for you!
Excellent video. Exactly my machines problem!
Thanks for the great video. I opened up the lid and the contacts were corroded but after I cleaned them the washer still didn't start. Any thoughts on how to determine whether I need a new interface vs. control board? Thanks.
More then likely the corrosion is somewhere else on the interface board sometimes they have to be taken all the way apart and cleaned. Is the machine throwing any codes? If the control board is flashing green light it is most likely ok.
Do the hinges pop out by themselves when you put it back together?
Thanks!
I have this exact washer. What can I check when the washer comes on but water isn’t coming out. I changed the part with the 4 cylinders that the hoses attach to. What else can I check?
Followed this video and I fixed my neighbor’s washer. Maybe 15 minutes worth of work.
Awesome!
Thank you this was really helpful, you made me save money! 🙂👌🏼
Your welcome!
Thank you!!!! Totally fixed it
You're welcome!
Exactly what I needed!
Awesome! Best of luck!
Can I do this on the dryer as well
Definitely worth a shot
Excellent I appreciate I did same thing works great thanks
Your welcome!
Thanks for the video was able to fix mine.
Awesome! Glad to help!
mine won't toggle and tried cleaning it. still not toggling. suggestion?
If it won't toggle the rotary encoder on the interface board is bad, you will need a new interface board/panel (the part you touch to control the washer)
After you clean it put some liquid electrical tape over the contacts to seal it and prevent more corrosion.
Good advice!
I'm so sad mine isn't working still... Any other advice please
Try cleaning the contacts even if they appear to be clean
@@DuctTapeMechanic I definetly did. A guy at my job mentioned something about the lock causing the power outage since the play/pause button gets hot when its plugged in although no power turns on .??? Any ideas? Thank you so much for even considering helping me with this!
Have the Bravos but just basic model. Out of balance often now. Tub moves around like I saw it move when you were moving the washer around. So looks like the Bravos has shocks. So would that be the problem?
Most likely, the rods but could also be a loose tub nut
Fixed it ! Thanks - great video
Awesome! Glad to help!
i cleaned the board it work for about a week and now it is dead again, i have had my whirlpool cabrio for about ten years, i wonder if i should buy another machine
Thanks for this video!
Your welcome!
I have the cabrio model and the display won’t turn on , I got a new main board and a different display and it still won’t come on, what should I be looking at?
Wow that's strange. A new main board and interface board but still won't turn on? Perhaps there is a bad wire/loose connection on the wire harness
@@DuctTapeMechanic deffinetly was a wire issue, but the interface I got also didn’t match the board so it wasn’t working I was getting a F2 E3 code so had to return the interface , waiting in a replacement
Hi. Mine is stuck on the "bedding" mode. No error codes pop up. What shows is the time frame of the wash which is 1:06. Tried unplugging. Please help. Thx
I have this problem with the cabrio model and I did this fix but still can’t get the display to come on , what else could it be ?
Could be another issue with the interface board. With the display disassembled try to see if there is a flashing light on the main board. If there is most likely the issue is with the interface board
@@DuctTapeMechanic did some testing and their is. I flashing light so I know the board is fried , also no power on the plug to the interface , I have a. Lard inbound for tomorrow.
What kind of screwdriver did you use?
Worked great thank you!
You're welcome!
I’m having issues with the touch screen part not working! When I turn the dial it only stays on one mode and won’t start or allow me to even Change modes! HELP ME 😢
I would go through and do the cleaning as shown in the video. If that does not work, then your user interface panel most likely needs to be replaced
Worked on mine!!!
Awesome! Glad to hear that!
Can the glass come off and stay off .has any one take one apart
Thank you
many thanks!
How did you get the file in there to file off dirt? How about covering the open when I’m done to seal it
Just a nail file. Yeah maybe a dab of silicone would do the trick
We have a Maytag and getting an error code F2E2 it says it is likely the control panel but our screen is still working. Any ideas?
I would try resetting it, cleaning the contacts on the interface board, if not the control board most likely needs to be replaced.
I'm getting an F5 error code. The machine cycles every 5 seconds. Not sure what's going on.please help
I had that problem there videos on how to fix it but the easiest I found from a comment was to get a curved small tool or flathead screwdriver and were the lid gets latched on there's a small plastic piece goes in and out just move that latch back and forth bout 20 times regularly not hard to get corrosion removed from the latch
Mine wont fill
Any ideas
Bought used a week ago
Are is the water fully turned on? What codes is it showing?
@@DuctTapeMechanic all the way on and no codes.
@@DuctTapeMechanic power, normal, med soil level, start but the goes back and forth between sensing and wash then goes to done.
Wonder if the valves are bad. Try running it on hot water mode only
@@DuctTapeMechanic i will give it a shot
I think i tried most
😊
I cannot get the lid off this easily
I did everything like you did, and still has no power.
It is possible that you have a bad main power supply board
Also did the same unfortunately did not work got quoted $400 to replace the control console
