- Learn how to fix a Kenmore 500 series high efficiency washer that is stuck in the sensing mode and will not advance to the wash cycle. The machine in the video is model number 110.25132411 however, the principals apply to any top loader Kenmore or Whirlpool machine that has an autosense feature. Video is part of my series "Free on Facebook" in which I repair, recycle, and repurpose things that would be otherwise destined for the trash heap.

• Kenmore Washer Trouble... - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Thank you for posting this video. You speak well, and you walk others through the process. 5 STARS to you. Mine started doing this last Saturday. The day before Father's Day. I love the old school products that I grew up on. I purchased this washer brand new in 2017. It is on its 3rd residence with me. Lol. This is the FIRST issue with this washer. I work in construction. We use the washer EVERYDAY. We'll, except Saturday and Sunday. I am about to find this part and Get Er Done. 😂
We got rid of our old Maytag (probably built late 80s) washer/dryer and we wish hadn’t. Our house came with this set in the video and washer stopped filling night before I had jury duty! Clothes I was gonna wear were in there.
Anyhow we ordered the part and it came just in time as my Dad who has terminal cancer is visiting this coming week.
Thank you so much for posting this because it worked and saved us tons of $$$ I’m sure!
Glad to help!
Thank you, Duck tape mechanic! I watched your video about the kenmore 500 series washer that stays in sensing mode. I changed the water inlet valve and I fixed it myself!!!
Awesome Job! Glad the video was helpful
I am a 65-year-old woman, widowed, and I am grateful for your help.
Thanks for the video. Although the continuity was fine on both valves, the filters were plugged. I ended up replacing the valves completely.
Very nice!
Your helper is gorgeous Gerber to the 5th power thanks for all y'all do !!!
Thank you!
I have this model, and checking your input. Over the summer, the cycle wouldn't start, sometimes it would take minutes. It would sometimes screech before going to the next step (rinsing). We tried washing the machine with Tide, which actualy worked for 3 weeks, then the normal cycle stopped working. We then used the Casual and Express cycles (no issues) but now the casual cycle, would not start (or trying to start). We now are resorting to using express cycle (no issues for now)
i work on all applaints the first 2 hrs of my shift at Tarlton collage, you did the same thing i do. nice job.
Is it appliance repair school and if it is where it is ?
@@frankoreka2900 i just learned on my own. top load frt load, dryers. it's all easy to me. yes they have schools. where ??? one guy wanted to send me to irvin tx.
This has been a great help I have this exact model thanks
Glad it helped you!
I am Shawn a technician in Jamaica and believe me your tips are helpfull
Thank you for watching!
Hi have problems with these washers sometimes here in Jamaica
Great video. Just ordered my part.
Brilliant video!
Thank you!
This video really helped. However, I did find an easier way to check if water valve solenoid is bad. I had the washer on cold water temperature. No water coming out sensing button blinking. Turned to hot water temperature hit start and water started coming out and washer worked.
Yes that works as well!
@@DuctTapeMechanic Since we wash all our clothes in cold. I plugged the cold plug to hot solenoid, because after switching the hoses i found that during the rinse cycle no water would run. Guess the washer rinse cycle is auto programmed for cold water. Ordered the parts and have them as backups once the hot solenoid goes bad.
I just tried this on my washer. Sensing kept on blinking. Came on here and saw this comment and it worked!! Thank you!!
How to replace a 2001 deville rear bumper
Okay Okay 👍 👌 😊nice work. I have to check that out.
Man i have the whirlpool wtw8127lc. We got it brand new in April, I've had nine different repairs done on it already. You read that correctly--NINE TIMES. The main board has been replaced twice, the last time the entire basin and washing tub assembly was replaced. I'm not a child, I know I'm not overloading the washer. Now it's stuck on sensing. I'm beyond fed up with this washing machine!! In the few months we've had it it's been more time being inoperable than it has functioning. Im still paying on the damn thing and we've spent more time waiting on repair appts and parts to come in than we've actually had it in working order. I don't know what the hell's going on with my particular unit this damn time, but I do know I will never ever purchase another Whirlpool in my life.
I had the issue it would sense then a quick hum then it would quit but stay in sense mode. I replaced actuator and still ddid this. I finally figured out that underneath there's a bundle of red wire zip tied to the frame and there's a butt connector where 3 wires meet. Mine was burned. Replaced it, back in business.
Great work!
I have that same pos.. even if you set it on heavy duty and deep fill it doesn’t clean worth crap. It just moves back and forth 3/4 of a turn at a time never getting the cloths to roll down and up like our old one. What doe’s saving water have to do with the crap way it agitates? Why does it just move back and forth but never enough to get the stuff to move from the top to the bottom.
You should also mention that when it’s stuck in sensing mode if there is water in it the tub it’s the drain pump. Which is an easy fix under the unit 3 5 1/16 hex bolts remove disconnect drain hose and plug in a wire harness lol at least that’s how my whirlpool was I’m sure these smart wifi ones are a bit trickier. Gotta love the easy ones though.
The washer i grew up with at my parents house in the 80's and 90's, that thing lasted the whole time i lived there. The new high tech digital machines break easier
Thank you i found the issue 💙🙏🏼
Awesome Job!
I like your explain keep up
I have the same machine and it makes and electric wine when I press start button then pops the GFI if I don’t unplug in time. I am guessing starter solenoid? What do u think?
I sent this video to my pal, Bill in Texas.
Many Blessings, Which washer machine washer clothes the best and with a nice quite sound?
Hi @DuctTapeMechanic I have a Kenmore 110.21392013 and I replaced the water inlet valve on it after it leaking disasterously all over my floor during washing. Now, it is stuck in sensing mode, not unlike this. It does start to fill with water, but it never progresses into the actual "wash" cycle or goes any futher than that.
Since you seem to have a lot of experience fixing various issues with washers, I was wondering: any insight on what else is wrong or where I could start? It's confusing to me, because this is a new issue.
You are the man
Could that be the cause of the control center knob to become confused, thinking its in a different mode than it set on???
Thxs for sharing
You welcome
Thanks!! Good explanation without a lot of useless chatter.
Would you happen to have a part number for the part? I couldn't l look through all 212 comments.
Part number should be on the old valve you remove. They all have slightly different part numbers due to the different electrical connectors.
If you machine flows water while set to hot water it is your water inlet screen clogged. Pull it out and clean it. Use needle nose pliers and it pulls out like a Cork. Screw all this diagnostic testing. Something so simple took me all day to troubleshoot. Hit like if it worked. I had mine stuck in sensing mode. Try this if just hot works.
Yes you are absolutely correct. However if your valve solenoid is burned out like mine was cleaning the cold water valve screen won't do anything. So testing it is not that bad an idea. But yes, it is advisable to just take a look at the filter first (I actually gave this advice to someone in the comments a few days ago).
@@DuctTapeMechanic yeah if you catch it soon enough get it unclogged you won't burn out that solenoid.
😂😂😂 wow this solved all my problems thanks
Where is that at?
Did you have to reset or recalibrate the washer after installing the new part? If so please explain the procedure. Thanks
No recalibration needed!
How to reset?
Seems like the exact problem I have. Time to get the meter out and test it. Preliminary test is going to do a hot only and a cold only test but I suspect if one is bad the computer will just detect a fault regardless. Time to get my meter involved. I hope this fixes it :) I'm at my with end and was considering kicking it to the curb and incurring a cost I'm not prepared for. Currently it goes to wash from sensing but doesn't do anything after that but display the wash light after it drains my water and detergent. This sucks.
@@dan9809 I fixed it for $28. Got my meter out and started with suspect parts. Turns out it was the intake valves. The solenoids on both sides were cooked. When I put it all back together and hit the start button the sound was magical music to my ears! My wife has bad knees so I don't let her go to the basement so the laundry is all mine to do. I have a new found love of washing clothes now that it has been fixed! (JK I still hate doing laundry :) )
Check the belt and the actuator
@@wylykyotys My problem turned out to be the hot and cold water mixing solenoid unit. Works great now.
Got a minor issue with my washer I can't figure out. Auto sensing and deep water wash are backwards. Set it on auto sense and it deep water washes, set it on deep water wash and it auto senses. The washer isn't that old, going on 3 years since I bought it and it didn't use to do that, only discovered it a few months ago. I've done everything from reset to auto calibration, every little diagnosis it offers and it still has this issue. I've checked wiring, the mainboard, switches, ect ect and can't find one problem. Not like I can't deal with it, there is obviously a work around setting the switch to do the opposite of what it shows, I'd just like to know why the heck it does it.
Thank You🙏
Your welcome!
If you close the hot and cold water first, bumping the pressure hose will cause you less of a water problem.
Question. I'm waiting on that exact part, frozen water burst and broke the cold side, but really need to do laundry now! Is there a way to bypass that cold side, or do both have to communicate in order to wash????
Just change the machine wash temperature to hot/hottest this way it will not use the cold valve (unless you have a machine that does a cold water rinse but it is worth a shot)
@@DuctTapeMechanic worked for me somehow
Before you test the valve check if the filters are clogged. This happens quit often is and is easy to fix. Just shut the water take off the hoses and check the 2 plastic filters in the hot and cold.
Absolutely a good thing to do first!
Same here, my valves both read open but since the cold water intake screen was totally clogged i cleaned it and it's been working since
Howd you clean the filters
Question. I have a top loading whirlpool he with the 6 lights. When I turn it on the sensing light is on and the lid lock light flashes but doesn’t lock, I can her the lid lock clicking. It’ll do this five or six times and then the lid lock light turns off and the sensing light stays on but nothing else happens. I’ve unplugged it for over 60seconds and tried todo the recalibration and also tried to access the error code history unsuccessfully. Any suggestions?
We are having this exact problem too! Following.
What screw driver sizes are you using to remove the back panel and inside the washer?
They are 1/4 inch hex screws in the back and I believe T-15 ( aka star head screws) on the water valve
i have the same washer and mine is stuck on rinse and keeps filling up with water. could this part be the same issue? tia
I have. A ge washer gtw540asp1ws. It sprays water twice when put in cycle and then stops. Suggestion
hey buddy i have a question, is the kenmore control board the same as the whirlpool one? I need to buy one but I can't really find it other than a similar one but it's whirlpool and a different board #.
A lot of parts are interchangeable but the control board do have to be the same part number
Damm , oh ok thank you buddy, yeah it’s a kenmore serie 100 , and I couldn’t find the board
I just put a new lid switch and harness in my digital whirlpool washer because it was reading lid not closed. Well now it doesn’t leave sensing mode which after about ten minutes the screen reads F5E3 error code, which is close lid. Clothes are piling high. Help…
Wow just bought this exact washer on craigslist. Will not leave sensing mode....
Also make sure you have the water valves turned on
My kenmore washer makes a knocking sound while sensing mode and then it stops. Any suggestions on what the problem with be. Your video doesn't show the 3rd option.
Why did you raise the top instead of sliding tool under the control panel to release those clips? Then you just roll the panel back to get to the valves and controls.
True but if you have to replace it you have to open the top anyway
Hey bud ....on this model, what would cause the motor to start to spin and then stop after a couple rotations??? Put it on drain&spin cycle and it'll drain then the motor will engage to start spinning but disengage a couple of seconds after....then it'll go through the motions again, and again
Mine is doing exactly what you described. Did you get it figured out? What was causing this problem?
Any update? Mine just started doing this exact thing. Fills fine, tries to spin once and pauses for 20 seconds and tries to spin again. Rinse and repeat. Holding the start button to cancel it drains just fine too
I have the exact washer and it is stuck on sensing mode but when I switch it to drain and spin, I can smell burning. Any ideas? I’m going to swap out the water valves like you did but any idea on the burning smell?
Burning is strange for sure...if it's not filling with water I would definitely test the valves first
@@DuctTapeMechanic I will update once I replace the valves. Thanks.
The water valve inlet was replaced along with the actuator under the washer. I recalibrated the washer and the washer worked for one deep wash cycle but now it’s stuck on sensing mode again.
My machine has the sensor light go on and locked light goes on and it not sensing at all and start filling the tub and then makes a loud noise like it trying to sense and then turn off. Any ideas? I have check the fill valve ye...
Does you machine begin to agitate? It sounds like it's not agitating, it could be the mode shifter. Check out my video on how to replace that (it's my latest video)
Great video! I have the same washer and I need to buy a replacement valve like the one you bought. Can you tell me where you purchased? The ones I am seeing are all $55 or more. Thank you
Unfortunately due to inflation they are all probably around $50 for the part now (still better then a repair guy or a new machine). I recommend just searching the part number on Amazon.
I have the same one but it start blinking when finishing wash and don’t go to the next step. What do you thinks it is?
Do you have fabric softener switch on?
I have this same machine, every single load it goes into out of balance shaking. Is this repairable without hiring a technician. Your response would be greatly appreciated.
Most likely it is the suspension rods which can definitely be done by yourself.
Having the same problem
I have the same washer I replaced the valves and getting no codes. Hot side works. When cold is starting it hums but if I turn off and back on cold water supply it will work but I have to keep doing that throughout the wash. Any ideas? Thanks
I think perhaps your valves are getting stuck. It might be a good idea to replace them. They are not that expensive on Amazon
Thanks for the reply I will try that next.
do you have a video for this washer on how to replace the lid switch?
I actually don't on this washer. It is on my todo list though!
I encountered a situation where there was no way to enter diagnostic mode. It would remain in sensing mode and not lock the lid. What I found to be the problem was the drain plug had a broken wire. It has a plug that splits. I reattached and it started working when I plugged it back in.
Nice job!
I have a Maytag that's stuck in the Sensing mode. It was working fine when I started to wash clothes on Sunday. I went out to walk my dog when I got back I heard a buzzing sound coming from the washer and it was stuck on the final rinse cycle. I tried the power/reset button to have to washer drain itself but it got stuck in the sensing mode with a buzzing. I unplugged the power and when I plugged it back in, I got the same result. The sound seems to be coming from the water valve area, so I'm thinking that it went bad. I've only had this washer for 4 years and its a shame that this happened so just a few years after getting it and the extended warranty expired.
Sometimes the valves can get clogged as well. Perhaps unhook the water lines and see if the inlets are clogged
@@DuctTapeMechanic I'll check tomorrow. Thanks for the info also I have the new valve part coming Saturday so if anything I'll replace it.
Well I replaced the water valve and it still senses light still flashes and I still here the buzzing sound so it's not the water valve. I believe it to be the The drainage pump. And that something that I will not try to get or replace.
Probably stupid question but I dont know what Im doing so I will ask. When testing with the meter does the washing machine have to be plugged in?
Do not plug in the machine when testing it! Safely first
My valves go 1.07 and 1.06. Is that a good reading?
That should be ok!
Issue started other day, clothes are still soaked at the end of cycle.. Its skipping the spin and drain part of the cycle? Its not spinning enough, or fast enough to squeeze all the water out of clothes? Water pump works, took all hoses apart while operating outside to ensure draining but now the sensing is acting funky
Having the same issue!
Check the belt and the actuator
Ok, I have a Whirlpool top load washer & I took the screws out from the back & scooted the lid forward, but it's locked somehow, I can't get the lid open. Is there a button I'm supposed to push under the lid to get it to unlock & open?
Pull forward, lift, then push back. Like it has a hook.
@@wylykyotys Thanks, I'll have to try that.
Was there a clicking along w it ? Or why is mine clicking whilst stuck in sensing?
If it's clicking it could the the shifter arm is broken
I have a whirlpool top load washer and non of the leds light up but when I plug up to power it goes straight into drain mode that’s all it does nothing else. Please help me out thanks
Let the drain pump drain for a few minutes if it does not stop then most likely you need a new control board. If it stops draining then try starting a load
My MayTag also got stuck in sensing mode due to a frozen inlet pipe. Apparently it is expecting water to come in and somehow uses that to figure out how many clothes are in the drum. It warmed up the next day and then it ran fine.
Wow thats new. Glad it worked itself out
@@DuctTapeMechanic Glad the pipe didn't burst. Plumbing was in an exterior wall and it was 10F for several days. No way to drip it that I know of like I did on kitchen and bathroom faucets. What cold weather precautions should be taken with a washer ?
What you need to do is tilt the entire washer backward and lie down to access the under portion of the Series 500 - and change the the Synchronous Shift Actuator - $30 part.
Yes the actuators on these fail often
hi, where did you get your Shift Actuator for $30? Thanks!
@@cindylin4509 The Repair guy - listed it on the bill for that amount.
Changed mine today..still have the same problem, no wash, no spin.
How would you be able to know if it's the actuator that's bad?
I would say if you can hear the lid lock and have tested the valves like in the video and still its stuck in sensing, I would try replacing the shifter actuator it's only like $30 plus it's easy to change.
How much for valve replacement?
Hi! Mine isn’t rinsing well anymore. What should I try at this point ????? Please! Thank you
Is it not filling with water? It could be the valves are clogged
@@DuctTapeMechanic it fills with water but it wasn’t spinning it out of the clothes. Sooo I did some trouble shooting and video searching and found the issue! It was the hard plastic hub that went around the agitator!! Our local shop had one for 26 bucks. My fiancé was so proud lol 🙌🥰🤗 thank you for posting the videos! They are very helpful ☺️
My washer is not really cleaning my clothes …I have a whirlpool high efficiency..any advice. I really appreciate it thanks
Is it agitating? If not look at changing the clutch and actuator
use Roma powder detergent which contains dry bleach, it will not damage your clothes, instead will clean them more and will keep your machine smell fresh and will keep mildew away.
Where do you buy the solenoid? Thanks
Amazon
I just bought a new whirlpool washing machine (Lowes). It fills up with water (in sensing mode), then stops and you can hear dripping, then starts filling back up again. It gets stuck doing this for hours (of course I turn it off before hours). This is the 2nd machine as the first was stuck in sensing mode as well. Is this normal? any ideas?
Follow up. Whirlpool is having a person cone by and fix
@@lofficer11Did they fix it and if so what what was it please
Have a Kemore- Series 100. Works fine until I try washing jeans. 3 pairs and nothing else. The machine will sense and fill with some water, will not spin all the water out.
Is it making make loud noises? Also check for clogs in the drain pump/hoses
@@DuctTapeMechanic No loud noises. I will check for clogs in th drain pump. Thanks for your help.
my kenmore series 100 is stuck on the spin cycle and will not come out of spin the lid locks and it will spin and can not go into diagnose mode at all and checked valve assembly , and thats fine help!!!!!
Unplug it and plug it back in after a few minutes
I had that issue. I did the open and close the lid 6 times. That worked 2x before. Now, it's stuck in rinse cycle. Any idea what it could be?
Most likely the shifter is bad
@DuctTape Mechanic Thanks for quick response
@DuctTape Mechanic what is a shifter?
I have the same washer. just over a year old and it wont agitate. I just hear a buz buz buz during the agitation cycle. any ideas what may be wrong?
Does it proceed to the spin cycle ok?
@@DuctTapeMechanic yes the spin cycle is great.
I assume this applies to the Cabrio to?
Yes most likely, Kenmore is manufactured by whirlpool.
Can you do a video on how to remove the middle part to remove things that fell inside?
That is a wonderful idea! Actually have a machine sitting right now that would serve as an great example.
That video would also help me!!
Had one last about 8 months. Hated it. ITS JUNK
Where did u order the new vavle system from
Amazon/eBay would both be good sources just search by the part number on the old valve
I have a Kenmore HE washer, model 110.28002011. I've looked and looked and can't seem to find how to put this specific model into diagnostic mode. Can you help with that info? Thanks.
There's a manual taped to the inside the front of the washer. Complete instruction and diagnostic interpretation.
Should I purchase this machine used (said to be in excellent condition) or purchase a new Conservator with a 1 year warranty? Im on a very tight budget.
All depends on how much you are getting the used machine for. Also, when buying used, I recommend getting it from a used washer seller, not just a random person who is selling their unwanted washer (as they often are not aware of hidden issues)
I ran the automatic and manual test modes which all work. When I try just a plain Normal wash I can here the first 2 startup phases where it's sensing the load and when it's time to add water a constant sound like the motor is running and although I press the Start/Pause and the Power Button the noise continues until I pull the AC plug. I tested all the valves including the drain and they all work.
Same!???
Same here
I run the test and at the end only shows a sensing light on, what that means
Where did you buy this part from?
Ebay. Just put the old part number in the search
@@DuctTapeMechanic Do you know the part number? Can't seem to find it anywhere!
@TheDaddysgirl845. 19 min ago
I have this washer and it won't go pass
sensing the load and the lid lock light
just blinks won't unlock unless I unplug
it. Was told it was then it wasn't the part
that allows the water to flow from the
pipes to the washer(forgot what the
part was called.@389. Last time I had to
have it fixed it was the memory board.
Again not sure if that's the correct name
of the part but it was found under the
washer..somebody please help if you
can.

I have that same model, how do you reset the system ?
Unplugging it for 10 minutes should do the trick. There is also a way to reset all the codes in diagnostics mode
What is the best way to fill it, Mine keeps jumping across my garage and I have to jump on it like it's a mechanical bull 🐂. Then hit the pause button to stop it and start over.
Most likely, you have bad suspension rods. Just search from a reputable online appliance part store by model number, and you should find the rods your machine requires. If your machine still bounces around after replacing the rods, then the inner tub is stripped, and the machine is beyond reasonable repair.
How do you check the load sensor?
RPM sensor is on the actuator motor it uses that to sense the load.
What size are those three srews?
We just replaced this part. It is still getting stuck when it gets to the rinse cycle. It flashes and then turns off. Can you please help
If water gets on the top part of the machine can it get into the panel? I had a hose that was a bit too short and it ended up coming loose and spraying water all over my laundry room. Now the washing machine won’t progress past the sensing fill light. Could it be water damage? I had a tech come out and he thought that I had some kind of clog. He charged me over $400 to just fix this small issue that I don’t believe was ever an issue! “The actuator” but My whirlpool washer is less than a year old! It doesn’t make sense to me that he would have to change that part so early on! Now he’s telling me that the entire panel will have to be replaced for over another $400! I could have bought a new washer for $700! Please help!
I don't think the water is going to cause that issue. $400 to replace the actuator is ridiculous. I wouldn't put anymore money into it, perhaps get a new one or a used one.
Sara says yeeeeeeeee 😆
Mine is stuck on sensing but it doesn't lock but water flows through
Thank you very much, very helpful video. Wish I can return the favor, how about a blessing. May The Good Lord be with you and your family always. ✌&❤ my brother.
I appreciate the kind words! Glad to help!
My washer has the lid locked light on and won't let me open it. Is there anything I can do
Trying pulling the plug and reseting it after a couple minutes.
@@DuctTapeMechanic it worked thank you. It's about 7 years old do you think I should start getting a new one soon.
@@munozgaming3016 you will probably need new suspension rods for it in the next year or so but after that I would keep it as long as possible new machines are expensive right now
@@DuctTapeMechanic alrighty boss
Same washing machine here. Machine fills with water and then drains, nothing more. No agitation, no spin. Fills and then automatically drains.
Sounds like a bad mode shifter. Put it into diagnostic mode and find out for sure! I have a video on how to that as well!
@@DuctTapeMechanicmy washer doing the same way fills and drains that’s all
What if it's stuck on sensing but water flows through?
I switched the water lines and turned started and that was the problem the hot side works using cold my cold side servo is bad.
Good troubleshooting!
Did you have to calibrate it?
No calibration needed. Just plug and play!
My question as well.
Pleas help me! My washer has coins stuck between the agitator plate !!
Can you see the coins? If so I like to use a slim screwdriver to get them out or even a razor blade. If you can see them you will have to remove the agitator plate to get them out.
I have the same exact washer but when I hit the start button, it just keeps clicking. If I manually lock the lid with my fingers, it will start to fill a tiny bit of water but then stops. I can hold the button down to cancel and then I hear a sound as if it's draining. Any idea what it could be?
I would first check the valves to see if they are ok. I was having a similar issue when just a little bit of water would come out. If the valves are ok I would next look at the lid lock
@@DuctTapeMechanic the filter where the cold water goes into the machine was filled with sand/dirt. I cleaned it out and put the machine on "clean washer" mode and it started the process without any clicking. Seems like it worked. Thank you!!
Perfect good work!
@@DuctTapeMechanic It didn't work for me on a regular wash mode. I have the repair guy coming tomorrow 😥😥
@@HughJitsu : Well?, what happened???
wow mines, won't turn on, but when plugged in you can hear it trying to drain even though there's nothing else going on
I have an amana washer when I hit the start button it will auto sense and fill with water but it will continue to fill with water for about 10 minutes then after that it drains the water moves on to the wash light but won’t do anything after that what could be the problem?
That sound like an issue with the mode shifter/actuator
Same here, but mines a Crosley
Bro.... I need HELP!. I have the SAME washer. The other day it was locked and lights were blinking. I left it alone thinking it was just doing its thing but then a few hours later same thing.... I later unplugged it and plugged it back in however that didn't help and now nothing on the display is working. After some elbow grease, I was able to open the lid but not I have no power in the display. When I plug the machine in, I can hear a soft click and than a few seconds later I hear another soft click but nothing on the display is working. I took the machine apart and plugged it in while looking at the motherboard and once plugged in I see a small green light that stays on constantly. Sorry for the long post but I'm at a loss... please help
I would plug the machine in then hold the start button for like 10 seconds. Then I would put some cloth in the washer and hit the start button the sensing light should light up. Also are you sure your lid lock is not broken?
@@DuctTapeMechanic
So when I close the lid now, it will still lock. The only way I've found to open it is to press down on the opposite corner and then pretty much force it open... im gonna give your suggestion a try and I'll get back to you
@@DuctTapeMechanic ok so now I'm thinking it's the locking mechanism.... I tinkered with it a bit and now I get one light when I plug in the machine that is blinking red saying "lid locked" the light only blinks for about 3 seconds and then turns off. Other than that the machine is unresponsive.
@@mustafamalik7381 sounds like it is trying to lock but can't. Do you hear a sound of when the light is blinking? There is typically a distinct clicking sound when the lock is actuated.
Wow, I have the exact washer and probably the exact same problem. I've determined that the clicking sound is the lid locking and then unlocking repeatedly. Could it be the lid locking mechanism?
I wish you could have given a part number pleaser because this is really a pain . There’s so many of these valve with different plugs
They may have different plugs but the plugs can be taken off your old one and put on the new one. Also your old one should have a part number on it
Thank you !
