Just a note guys, this was one of the first videos I did on my channel. TH-cam won't let you update a video as much as I'd like, so I did another video for a Maytag Washer, but the codes and such are almost exactly like this, but more extensive as I've gotten a little better at doing videos. Link: th-cam.com/video/Saok_IA8_s8/w-d-xo.html
Very informative, thank you. I got the code F1-E0, not sure what that is, do you know? This is only the 2nd time I've used this washing machine brand new and am having issues. Won't go into rinse cycle and clicks a bunch(lock does work it does lock) wash light flashes and nothing happens
@@b.3713 I looked real quick online and the only thing I can come up with is that the machine needs unplugged for 15 minutes then put back in period if that doesn't solve it, I would suggest are running a recalibration on the machine to see what it does
@@bensappliancesandjunk Thanks for the quick response. Hmm, I have done that. I'm doing a cycle right now to see what happens. I did the test where's it runs and checks all the parts and all the lights flashed green, I assume that is good?. How to recalibrate? Wash cycle completed again and its clicking not going into rinse cycle. Wash light now flashing.
My fault/error code is perplexing. It just has all the lights lit and they flash like this; 2 quick flashes and then no li&hts for about the same amount of time and then repeats. HELP
What a perfect video, followed your instructions, got a code that meant the main board had a problem, wiggled connectors on board, recheck for faults, none! Wife very happy! YOU ARE THE MAN!!!
Please listen to him it really works. I am jumping up and down!! It work on the first try but on the third try it did work. The man knows what he is saying!!!!
You saved me SO much money! You’re friggin awesome. Thank you!!!!! PS-the other video he has shows where to find your washer manual. 3 screws, slide, and there it is in the front left! Tells you your codes, your sequence, EVERYTHING. Regardless, I cannot be more thankful for these videos! THANK YOU!!!
This video saved me, from buying my mother a new washer. Thanks so much. Recent winter storm, her pipes burst - shorted the logic board and filled the tub with water. Getting into diagnostic mode and seeing the codes helped me realize, that there was too much water in the wash basin and after removing 3 pitchers of water, the washer started emptying the rest. It now working again.
Great Video! Before you do ANY of this though, do a "hard reset" by (1) unplugging the washing machine for >1 minute (2) plug in then rapidly open/close the lid 6 times within 12 seconds. My washing machine didn't even have the lights come on and this was the magical solution.
Hi Victoria, I have an Amana washer that wouldn’t change settings like from normal to delicate when I spun the knob and I just tried your recommendation and it worked! Thanks!
My Whirlpool had a sensing light flashing. You raise the light up and down six times realfast. Then lay about a six pound weight on the corner of the lid where the lock switch is. That stops the vibration to the lock switch. fixed mine. apparently the lid vibrates and cretes a signl to the lock switch.
I watched 2 videos prior to yours and was unsuccessful after repeated attempts with my Amana. When I viewed your video it was explicit in how to turn the dial counter clockwise stopping on each click until stopping at the 12 o'clock position before moving on to the other clicks. I got it on the first try. DO NOT turn the dial quickly as instructed in other videos. Thank you young Ben!! 😀😀😀
This was very helpful. At first I was confused about the whole one left and three right then blah blah blah is what I heard. I got in front of my machine, followed your steps and I got it. Thank you! You saved me a $150 service call.
HERE'S HOW TO CALIBRATE the Amana after you replace the shock absorbers or other major parts: Go to diagnostic mode as described in this fellows video. All the LED's will be lit. FIRST make sure there is no clothes or water in the basket. Then all you do is ROTATE the control knob until the MIDDLE led is lit . You will have 2 leds NOT-LIT to the left and 2 NOT-LIT on the right. (ignore the RED LED). Now it is in CALIBRATION mode!! all you have to do to ACTIVATE CALIBRATION mode is press the START button. Then the machine will go through some 2 minutes of clicking and spinning the motor. Just be patient and wait for it to do its thing. Then it finally clicks and ALL THE LED's are OFF. That means it is done with CALIBRATION. wash some clothes and see if it is fixed. Mine is fixed but ONLY replacing the shock absorbers DID NOT FIX IT. It must be calibrated any time you replace a major part like that. I found my REPAIR MANUAL book inside the washer on the FRONT panel. Only had to remove the TOP PANEL to get the repair manual.
@@bruhbry831 If you don't calibrate the washer, the washer might not fill with the right amount of water for the load, or the washer might have frequently unbalanced loads then the problems starts
Great video. I am retiring and wanted to get back into repairing washers and dryers. I was at a lost with the newer stuff. Greatly appreciated. Keep them coming.
I know your comment is a yr old, but hoping to find some info! Whirlpool washer wouldn't drain so I figured out it was the pump ordered had someone take off old one but they couldn't come out new one on as soon as I needed do we called a man that has been working on them yrs and yrs. Well he charged $100.00 and yes it will pump water out but it is making a click somewhat on verge of a grind sound not for long but just while it's switching from after washing to start rinse spin. But it sounds like it's spinning and still swishing like a wash cycle at same time. I have reset it.
Thank you so much for this video! I tried several times using the different methods you show in your instructions and wasn't having any luck, but then I read some of the comments and you replied to someone else about doing the 360 counter clockwise rotation twice first and that did it! Ours is a Roper by the way, hope that helps someone else out there! Much appreciation!
I came to this channel because of my mom's washer but I had to double check what channel I was on. You sound just like your brother. Thanks for your help on the washer!
Thanks so much for this guide to reading the error codes--SO helpful! From a comment on another video, I learned this valuable bit of info. Mine was right where the commenter said it would be. Before your video, I'd been running diagnostics but couldn't figure out how to read the error codes! "I found that the service manual is included in the washer casing. When in front of the unit, open lid, look into tub (back at yourself) and in the now upper right corner is the service booklet in a plastic bag stuck to the front of the inside of unit. It goes through all of the codes and steps to test the unit."
Well hell, all I can say is thanks you have made me not look mad in the head, when I figure after changing a lid lock switch, there'd be a reset of some kind.
Decent, concise, clear video. Great job!!! Other youtube appliance videos could learn something from you, instead of stroking their own egos and applying background music tracks.
Thanks! My goal is to have videos somewhere in between the guys just selling parts to make money, and the homeowners that have novel fixes, but tend to take way too long to give the information out. This was one of the earliest videos I did, and I am trying to get better each and every time, but I greatly appreciate the compliment!
You are very thorough. I appreciate you. We have replaced several parts on our Maytag washing machine saving us from buying a new one or having someone come out and fix it. Thank you very much.
Finally, some real help. Couldn’t find error codes anywhere, except the LCD readout panels. Have an Amana that isn’t spinning. It was involved in a 2’ basement flood. Purchased new motor, cleaned all connections. Will check these codes, thanks to your help! Thank you! Jay.
Bens Appliances and Junk Now looking into the clutch and/or the transmission to see if there are any contacts corroded or anything obvious as to why it isn’t spinning.?🤷🏻♂️ I noticed it doesn’t always enter the system into diagnosis every time. I’da never figured this out!
Transmission/clutch were fine, turned out to be the shifter module. Spins good now, but as my luck would have it, now it decided to not fill with water. 🤦🏻♂️🙄 Using Ben’s A&J video, it had error codes (I believe it was F11-E4?) for a water inlet temp. failure, and no continuity across terminals of both valves. I ordered a new water inlet valve, they sent one that didn’t fit. I called and ordered the (correct🤞🏽) new one, and not only was it the right one....they sent me 2 ✌🏼of them! Anybody know of any washer that uses 2 inlet valves? .....eh, didn’t think so.😅 Anyways, I replaced the inlet valve, ran diagnostics, cleared the fault codes, and successfully did a load of laundry. fireonice143
Thank you so much for making this video. I have a Kenmore 100 series that was stuck in the wash cycle and all it was doing was fill the drum with water, nothing else. I followed your instructions and fixed it.
- My Amana (Whirlpool brand) too filled (heavy load) and then did nothing else besides click & light up with only basic single lights. - Then WHILE STILL FILLED FULL I did the steps & got nothing except a couple click sounds.
Thank you SO MUCH for the detail you have provided. Say what you want about women talking too much, you'd be surprised at the number of fix-it videos done by men who say nothing. Kind of worthless to the lay person, and guaranteed not to get subscribers lol. You're awesome. Thanks again!
I have this exact washer. We had a small flood in our basement, and after we got the water out and all of that taken care of, our poor washer has been broken ever since. It had a red steady light after the flood, but we got it working again. However, now it wont do a final spin, and we have to do a drain and spin cycle after its done to get it to do a spin to have the clothes not be soaked to put it in the dryer. Im going to run these diagnostics and see what i get. Thanks!
For an Armana W10420472B the LEDs are f/e 8 4 2 1. Threw me off at first so I thought I'd share that. Got me an F7 E7, spin motor not reaching target RPM. Fun times!
Great video! It worked for my Amana, had to turn twice counter-clockwise. My question for you is the codes. When doing the diagnostics, only my sense fill button flashed, no other button did. What does that mean?
Like trying to figure out some sort of mystical washer puzzle. And once you're lucky enough to crack the code, you can now pick up the phone call the repairman.
Thanks for uploading this video I'm currently trying to fix an Amana high-efficiency laundry machine. Doesn't seem too hard to troubleshooting diagnose this machine. I hope I can figure this out. Thanks again. Cheers
Hi!!!! This was a GREAT video!! Bookmarked the page for future reference! I'm trying to repair my Mom's Amana NTW4650YQ0 top load washer and the control board was burnt so I bought another board with the same part number off of eBay labelled as a Whirlpool control board. I know that a variety of brands will carry the same type of control board so I was pretty confident as the part number was the same. I installed the new board, plugged in, set the machine to a small load and the machine filled fine then the lid locked and it went into wash mode. So far so good, right? Cycled out of wash mode and went in to rinse mode and then all lights went off so I took the hose off and drained all the water to try again. I tried entering diagnostics based on other TH-cam videos but your detailed video really did the trick and I finally succeeded. I tried manual diagnostics and the machine entered all the cycles and I could hear the drum spinning so the rinse/spin seems to be working fine but I don't know why it's not rinsing during regular use. I also ran the diagnostics and only the "fill" LED flashed so I'm assuming everything is fine. What else can I try?
When i plugged mine in when i bought it. It must have been in diagnostic mode but i couldn't get anything to work. After watching your video i got it out of that mode and got it to work as whew
When I finished Left, right, right, right, left, right, they were all blinking, turned right once, got cycle complete. Then you say one more right click, which I did and it showed final spin. Went back one click left, pushed start, all lights light and blink and just stay blinking. One click right and only the sensing fill button lights. I did not hit start again. This is an Amana belt drive machine. If I put the machine in "Clean Washer with Affresh" mode it goes through all the cycles with no problem. This makes me doubt it is a mechanical problem?
- 6:18 How EXACTLY do you, "go thru" all the codes? Do we wait, do we press buttons, do we turn knobs, which knobs do we turn, how many times do we turn which knobs? Is there a separate error code set for each & every turn of the main dial? Do we have to write down each error code and record exactly where the dial was and associate it with that exact location of the direction of the dial knob? - Once we get error codes, then what are we supposed to do?!
My Amana did the same thing your machine did in this video: only blinking "sensing fill." I know something is wrong though because it will spin but won't agitate; I changed the agitator dogs. So, after doing the recalibration, are you supposed to run a full cycle before trying to do the diagnostic??
I cannot get the panel of blinking lights to even do a diagnostic. My Amana just keeps filling with water and red lid lock lite is not on. Did exactly as you said but cannot get the blinking lites. HELP
Do you have any idea how to reset the washer after a power outage? Every time the power goes out, it takes hours for the washer to start working again, and I can never find the right sequence of events to get to the solution faster. Your help is greatly appreciated.
Skipped something here. At 4:36 there is a blinking fill light, and "I don't have all the codes, but I can show you how this is going to work." A second later there is a close up of the lights, and the fill light is on steady. Mine just keeps blinking the fill light the way the washer in the video is blinking at 4:36. Does this mean there are no error codes? Is there something else that needed to be done while the light was blinking to get the error codes? My washer alsways skips rinse. On regular cycle (cold/cold), the fill light comes on and it fills, the wash light comes on and it washes and drains, then it goes straight to "final spin". One rinse cycle, the fill light comes on for 3 seconds, then it jumps to final spin. Really weird...
Good video for explaining how to read error codes!!!! Just wished you would've explained that on some washing machines that wash could actually be the #8 then it would go 4 2 1 and lid lock would act as your #0!!!! I bought a $30 water inlet valve because I read it as an f3 e2 when in fact it was an f7 e5 my actuator.Other than that good informative video.
I've done updated videos on this. Sadly, TH-cam hates the idea of editing videos, otherwise I'd of added more content to it. The problem is that older versions of these washers (like the one in the vid) add the #8 in there, while older ones only went up to 4. I made this video before that was a frequent thing with these style washers.
This should be the top comment. The key values can’t form the last 3 codes on the list, so they’re not a matching set. Just buy a new washing machine. The part you need probably costs half a washing machine anyways
@@josephdixon81 I doubt that unless you need a board and even that on my machine isnt what they want for a new washer! 544 at home depot for mine. I bought two parts for mine to fix it and it cost me less than 50 bucks.
No matter what I do, follow the procedure, lift the lid 6 times, unplug it, etc, I can never get more than one light to illuminate or blink on my Amana.
- UPDATE: After emptying my washer halfway, which was stuck with a full tub and did nothing, I finally got the lights to blink. Here's what I did: - After doing the counterclockwise full rotation reset on the cycle knob and THEN DOING THE FOLLOWING PATTERN, I GOT THE LIGHTS TO BLINK & DO WHAT HE SAYS. - *Amana: (in the manual): R3×, L1, R1 - But after that I'm stuck because everytime I turn the knob one click I get a different error code set, so that could be like 12 or more. What am I supposed to do with all these codes?!
Thanks, really, really great! Think my LID Switch is faulty. Now to look at videos how to replace that. It's an Amana but the Dials Are Exactly like this one you're showing. At least I have a starting point. Thank again!
If I bypass the lid switch Which colors do I jump. If it's not getting the closed info/is there another way/place to bypass the lid closed signal? Thanks
Hi, I have an Amana washer and I did the diagnostic like you showed. The only light that keeps flashing after I press is the sensing fill. Do you have idea what it is? I am having problems with the sensing fill mode, it does not stop until the washer is full.
Is the only light its showing in the actual error code lookup is sensing fill, nothing else - or is it that when you try to start a cycle, all it does is flash sensing fill and nothing else?
@@MariaMoreno-iy6nm GENERALLY that means it cannot detect any fail codes. If you cycle through the next one or two codes and get the same info, there may not be any major codes stored in it. Having said that, the sensing fill light flashing when the machine is running, and not doing anything else 'til its filled - it may be a pressure hose/switch problem on detecting proper fill volumes which typically doesn't have a code to it. I would suggest re-calibrating the machine, and make sure that clear plastic pressure hose isn't damaged.
Bens Appliances and Junk thank you so much for replying back and for sharing your video. We think is a major problem with the transmission because the agitator does not spin when is put to wash. And we also found oil leak at the bottom of the washer 😥
I have no hot water have gone through to make sure it is not plugged either hose or filter and yes hot water is turned on. When hot water is selected no water enters drum cold water works perfectly. Did your troubleshooting mode on my Amana washer and it only flashed on the green fill button was not solid green flashing green only . No other buttons came on in diagnostic mode. I feel it could be stuck value on hot water side .. if not I believe it to be water solenoid sensor!! What do u think??
I love the shirt. The cute clipart fridge at the end is fun, too. Unfortunately, my washer is a Whirlpool similar to the one in the video, but without any indicator lights or the Start button (started by pulling the cycle knob on the right), but interesting video nonetheless.
@@bensappliancesandjunk yes it has it but I just filled it up with water like a half hour ago and it drained the water out and all lights are off and when I plug it back in it makes a humming noise but it doesn't do anything at all
Impressive Now/will I get the F codes first and after?a few seconds the E code appears? The paplet says F is the issue?E is the part involved?I think. The pamphlet is almost like a tiny Electric Code book. Stupid thing after one sentence/it refers you to another page!!! Thanks
thank you so much for the video. if you don't mind i have a question. my amana is leaking water in bottom around the center, any ideas what could it be? thanks in advance joaquin
Never have I heard them called Uh monnas. Perhaps I lived a sheltered life. Great video, hope I can figure out why mine is stuck, humming, full of water.

Like trying to figure out some sort of mystical washer puzzle. And once you're lucky enough to crack the code, you can now pick up the phone call the repairman.
Awesome stuff. Ben.Very helpful video. I love the shirt lol
Second time I watched this and thank God it worked😀
Thanks for uploading this video I'm currently trying to fix an Amana high-efficiency laundry machine. Doesn't seem too hard to troubleshooting diagnose this machine. I hope I can figure this out. Thanks again. Cheers
My Amana washer's red light was on and I couldn't unlock my machine but following your instructions I now have my washer back. THANKS
During diagnostics, my Amana washer Fill light started flashing. What code would that be?
Hi!!!! This was a GREAT video!! Bookmarked the page for future reference! I'm trying to repair my Mom's Amana NTW4650YQ0 top load washer and the control board was burnt so I bought another board with the same part number off of eBay labelled as a Whirlpool control board. I know that a variety of brands will carry the same type of control board so I was pretty confident as the part number was the same. I installed the new board, plugged in, set the machine to a small load and the machine filled fine then the lid locked and it went into wash mode. So far so good, right? Cycled out of wash mode and went in to rinse mode and then all lights went off so I took the hose off and drained all the water to try again. I tried entering diagnostics based on other TH-cam videos but your detailed video really did the trick and I finally succeeded. I tried manual diagnostics and the machine entered all the cycles and I could hear the drum spinning so the rinse/spin seems to be working fine but I don't know why it's not rinsing during regular use. I also ran the diagnostics and only the "fill" LED flashed so I'm assuming everything is fine. What else can I try?
thanks for this video, it helps me. really appreciate your work.
You're very welcome!
Thank you this worked very helpful and very much appreciated
When i plugged mine in when i bought it. It must have been in diagnostic mode but i couldn't get anything to work. After watching your video i got it out of that mode and got it to work as whew
Thanks I was banging my head against the wall trying to figure the codes out😀😀😀😀😀👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
You’re welcome 😊
This is the first YT video ive seen with "index title" markers on the red time bar .... NICE ! , ill have to update my videos.
Really? Interesting. I've done it with a few videos, but certainly not all. I am unsure how beneficial they are yet.
You saved me a bunch of money!!
You are awesome and this was a great video, thank you!!!
When I finished Left, right, right, right, left, right, they were all blinking, turned right once, got cycle complete. Then you say one more right click, which I did and it showed final spin. Went back one click left, pushed start, all lights light and blink and just stay blinking. One click right and only the sensing fill button lights. I did not hit start again. This is an Amana belt drive machine. If I put the machine in "Clean Washer with Affresh" mode it goes through all the cycles with no problem. This makes me doubt it is a mechanical problem?
Thanks!
Does the same error codes work for amana washer model number: NTW4605EW0? Or do you know where I can find the error code guide for this washer?
You’re the best bro thank you for taking the time to explain it
- 6:18 How EXACTLY do you, "go thru" all the codes? Do we wait, do we press buttons, do we turn knobs, which knobs do we turn, how many times do we turn which knobs? Is there a separate error code set for each & every turn of the main dial? Do we have to write down each error code and record exactly where the dial was and associate it with that exact location of the direction of the dial knob?
- Once we get error codes, then what are we supposed to do?!
Thanks, Ben. This let may know the lid swich is flakey. I got it to go by pushing down on the lid, but will replace it soon.
Thank you so much!!!! This has helped so much 😁 i am subbing! I always need help with these things!!
Thank you so much I fixed my machine because of u 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 God bless
Thank you so much! How very clear and understandable. I am going downstairs to try it and sure hope it works. Thank you again.
I reset it and it started to work . thank you
Cool I had no idea it had a code system that helps out and you answer my questions about the system and code Thank you Brena
My Amana did the same thing your machine did in this video: only blinking "sensing fill." I know something is wrong though because it will spin but won't agitate; I changed the agitator dogs. So, after doing the recalibration, are you supposed to run a full cycle before trying to do the diagnostic??
Thank you Ben,Continued Blessing 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🤑👾💫🤜🏾🤛🏾👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🤳
Thank you so much I am not good with computers phone but I did Google you and fix my washer by your instructions thanks again happy happy joy joy
I cannot get the panel of blinking lights to even do a diagnostic. My Amana just keeps filling with water and red lid lock lite is not on. Did exactly as you said but cannot get the blinking lites. HELP
I have the same exact washer... I think mine is branded Roper. I love it. It's a workhorse for as inexpensive a machine it is and runs so quiet!
Mines branded amana (in Canada btw)
I hv a roper also that thing uses way to much water
Thank you this was a great help
Do you have any idea how to reset the washer after a power outage? Every time the power goes out, it takes hours for the washer to start working again, and I can never find the right sequence of events to get to the solution faster. Your help is greatly appreciated.
"hard reset" is (1) unplug for >1 minute (2) plug in and open/close the lid 6 times within 12 seconds.
Skipped something here. At 4:36 there is a blinking fill light, and "I don't have all the codes, but I can show you how this is going to work." A second later there is a close up of the lights, and the fill light is on steady. Mine just keeps blinking the fill light the way the washer in the video is blinking at 4:36. Does this mean there are no error codes? Is there something else that needed to be done while the light was blinking to get the error codes?
My washer alsways skips rinse. On regular cycle (cold/cold), the fill light comes on and it fills, the wash light comes on and it washes and drains, then it goes straight to "final spin". One rinse cycle, the fill light comes on for 3 seconds, then it jumps to final spin. Really weird...
Every helpful thanks man
Good video for explaining how to read error codes!!!! Just wished you would've explained that on some washing machines that wash could actually be the #8 then it would go 4 2 1 and lid lock would act as your #0!!!! I bought a $30 water inlet valve because I read it as an f3 e2 when in fact it was an f7 e5 my actuator.Other than that good informative video.
I've done updated videos on this. Sadly, TH-cam hates the idea of editing videos, otherwise I'd of added more content to it. The problem is that older versions of these washers (like the one in the vid) add the #8 in there, while older ones only went up to 4. I made this video before that was a frequent thing with these style washers.
This should be the top comment.
The key values can’t form the last 3 codes on the list, so they’re not a matching set.
Just buy a new washing machine. The part you need probably costs half a washing machine anyways
@@josephdixon81 my comment or the reply
@@josephdixon81 I doubt that unless you need a board and even that on my machine isnt what they want for a new washer! 544 at home depot for mine. I bought two parts for mine to fix it and it cost me less than 50 bucks.
No matter what I do, follow the procedure, lift the lid 6 times, unplug it, etc, I can never get more than one light to illuminate or blink on my Amana.
- UPDATE: After emptying my washer halfway, which was stuck with a full tub and did nothing, I finally got the lights to blink. Here's what I did:
- After doing the counterclockwise full rotation reset on the cycle knob and THEN DOING THE FOLLOWING PATTERN, I GOT THE LIGHTS TO BLINK & DO WHAT HE SAYS.
- *Amana: (in the manual): R3×, L1, R1
- But after that I'm stuck because everytime I turn the knob one click I get a different error code set, so that could be like 12 or more. What am I supposed to do with all these codes?!
This was helpful. Thank you.
Thanks so much. I have an amana. It was just an unbalanced load😍
Glad to hear it was just an unbalanced load!
The unbalanced load is what set mine into NOT DRAINING! So I will try all until it resets. MY WASHER IS BRAND NEW! THANKS EVERYONE 💗
Ur the man bro !
Thanks, really, really great! Think my LID Switch is faulty. Now to look at videos how
to replace that. It's an Amana but the Dials Are Exactly like this one you're showing.
At least I have a starting point. Thank again!
Yep! I got a few lid lock videos available
Greatly appreciate this video! Thank you
I'm glad it helped you! I am working on another video that's a bit more in-depth with more explanations on the codes and more fixing ideas.
God Bless you for the video.
Outstanding, thank you!
What do I do? It's stuck on the second button wash
ME TOO
@@jordiflower update my parents got a new washing machine because that brand was awfup
@@xinderellalee ugh can’t do that unfortunately. It just keeps stopping on wash cycle
Same
@@kalin5510 update- I had too heavy of a blanket in it
If I bypass the lid switch
Which colors do I jump.
If it's not getting the closed info/is there another way/place to bypass the lid closed signal?
Thanks
Hi, I have an Amana washer and I did the diagnostic like you showed. The only light that keeps flashing after I press is the sensing fill. Do you have idea what it is? I am having problems with the sensing fill mode, it does not stop until the washer is full.
Is the only light its showing in the actual error code lookup is sensing fill, nothing else - or is it that when you try to start a cycle, all it does is flash sensing fill and nothing else?
Bens Appliances and Junk is the actual error code .. that’s the only light that blinks.
Nothing else blinks
@@MariaMoreno-iy6nm GENERALLY that means it cannot detect any fail codes. If you cycle through the next one or two codes and get the same info, there may not be any major codes stored in it.
Having said that, the sensing fill light flashing when the machine is running, and not doing anything else 'til its filled - it may be a pressure hose/switch problem on detecting proper fill volumes which typically doesn't have a code to it. I would suggest re-calibrating the machine, and make sure that clear plastic pressure hose isn't damaged.
Bens Appliances and Junk thank you so much for replying back and for sharing your video. We think is a major problem with the transmission because the agitator does not spin when is put to wash. And we also found oil leak at the bottom of the washer 😥
It work perfectly thanks 🙏
Thank you for educating me
I have no hot water have gone through to make sure it is not plugged either hose or filter and yes hot water is turned on. When hot water is selected no water enters drum cold water works perfectly. Did your troubleshooting mode on my Amana washer and it only flashed on the green fill button was not solid green flashing green only . No other buttons came on in diagnostic mode. I feel it could be stuck value on hot water side .. if not I believe it to be water solenoid sensor!! What do u think??
I love your videos! I am 71 and petite...was 5'2" but now 5'. Where are the links to order your clothing?
So I have a F5 code. Fill light out and wash light lit and cycle complete. So what would my trouble be for my amana
I have the same code. I hope someone replies to this
I love the shirt.
The cute clipart fridge at the end is fun, too.
Unfortunately, my washer is a Whirlpool similar to the one in the video, but without any indicator lights or the Start button (started by pulling the cycle knob on the right), but interesting video nonetheless.
Older washers don't have an electronic board that allows code access. Could be a good thing, though, as they tend to last a LOT longer.
@@bensappliancesandjunk does it work for Amana washer
@@peterock42 only if it has the digital green lights below the dial knob for wash modes
@@bensappliancesandjunk yes it has it but I just filled it up with water like a half hour ago and it drained the water out and all lights are off and when I plug it back in it makes a humming noise but it doesn't do anything at all
Is it messed up or can I still do the diagnostic on it?
thank you. i have a maytag and this worked to reset it
Impressive
Now/will I get the F codes first and after?a few seconds the E code appears?
The paplet says F is the issue?E is the part involved?I think.
The pamphlet is almost like a tiny Electric Code book.
Stupid thing after one sentence/it refers you to another page!!!
Thanks
Nice instructions 😊. But how to go back to automatic mode 😅. I can't go back 😫
Got a faulty lid lock code same Amana washer should I replace lid switch
thank you so much for the video. if you don't mind i have a question. my amana is leaking water in bottom around the center, any ideas what could it be? thanks in advance joaquin
Could be a cracked tub.
Never have I heard them called Uh monnas. Perhaps I lived a sheltered life. Great video, hope I can figure out why mine is stuck, humming, full of water.
If its humming and water isn't draining, likely the pump
Same thing happening here
