- This video shows the top reasons why a Kenmore/Maytag/Whirlpool/Amana washer would not drain and how to fix them. This includes finding clogs in the system, diagnosing/ replacing the drain pump, and checking the control board. The washer in the video is a Kenmore 500 series machine however, the principles of this video are applicable across many brands. A washer exhibiting these symptoms will also show the F9 E1 code when put into diagnostic mode. This video is part of my series "Free on Facebook" which is a series of videos in which I repair, recycle, and repurpose things I find for free!

Wonderful and very helpful for users to fix the problem. Thank you so much
Glad you found it helpful!
The part you talked about the board frying the drain pump, it is actually the other way around… the pump being bad will cause the board not to run properly will fry the board resulting in nothing working…
Maybe mentioning that when you test the drain pump when remove the housing on top to move the flaps that it should have some resistance to it if it spins freely the spring inside or the magnet could be defective which in turn causes the drain pump to be not operable.

Hi, I bought the Maytag washer and dryer, Pet Pro and after one wash, there is water that remains between the drum and the floor of the machine. I tried the "spin and drain" button but the water is still there. I didn't make a Big load of washing and there was no socks or small things. You wouldn't know or suspect what problème it would be, would you? Thank you very much 🙂
I have a GE washing machine my machine locks but won't spin what can be the problem ???? thanks in advance
Thank you it works now
Awesome!
Great 👍
What size drill bit is that?
My kenmore is not going into diagnostic mode. I double checked the manual and no luck. Machine is stuck in sensing mode
My impeller turns like the one you're showing but I don't hear clicking and I can pull the impeller up and down I don't know if that is good. I test benched it by hooking it up to 120 v and it is spinning.
If you have check for clogs and browesed the controll board for obvious failures (ie burn marks, bulging capacitors) then I would go ahead and replace the pump
I'm trying to remove the agitator from a Whirpool washer. I removed the fabric softener but there is no 7/16 nut like the videos show. The bottom of the remaining "cup" has two opposing bars on the bottom. How do I remove the agitator?
I believe there should be two tabs below where u removed the cup. Press those tabs and pull up and you should get access to the nut
I took apart the pump didnt find much, but i did find quite the clog inside the bottom of the tub where the drain connects to....even with needle nose i can clear the clog, any tips to get to the clog
I would try a rigid wire or a metal coat hanger
Thanks for the video. How to find out what SERIES washing machine? How do I find which SERIES is my Kenmore washing machine? People say this SERIES or that SERIES, 70 series, 80 series, or whatever SERIES. How do I find out what is this SERIES of my Kenmore washing machine? Thanks. 7:40
Typically it says what series it is right on the front panel
I have a question my sensor light is on my Kenmore washing and also the lock panel was giving me trouble. I took off the lock lid. but my main concern is my sensor light it want wash or spin what can I do. Don't have funds to fix it.
I need help
Hello there. What is the model number?
A washer being stuck in the sensing mode can be a multitude of different issues. Is it filling with water? If not it could be the valves or the lid lock. If it is filling with some water then it could be a bad shifter motor. Hard to completely assess the situation based on just a written description
I need help for our washing the brand is zenz the problem is we wash our clothes but when its done already washing we can't open the steel inside and something is broken. You can help us. Thank you.
I have a Maytag washer that just stopped working this Sunday. I was doing my laundry toward the end of the wash cycle. I went out to walk my dog and when I got back, I heard a buzzing from the washer, It was stuck on the last drain n rinse cycle. I pressed the on/off reset button to get it to drain and nothing. It just kept buzzing. I finally unplugged it and waited for an hour to see if it had reset itself but nothing, just the buzzing and the sensing light blinking. I think it's the control board that's damaged.
What did you ever find out? Mine just did the exact same thing
@@CabbagePlaysNiggaI got the the new water value and replaced it. It still had the same problem. So I was thinking that it was either the drain pump or the controller. I didn't want to start going through the process of buying other pieces and finding out thats not be the problem, so I went and got a new washer. An LG this time.
@@vcancerdamn that really sucks this is the only comment I ever found that has my exact issue.
Quick question my machine fills but won't agitate or drain or spin? Please help
Could be a lot of things. But two the most common issues that cause that is a broken lid switch/lock or a bad mode shifter
how bout if it will drain,but not wen it's spose to?
ours started not draining at end of cycle,we havto turn it bak onto a spin cycle,then it will
I searched through all his videos and I can’t find a video on TH-cam to help me . We have a Kenmore series 500 and the lid lock switch is stuck on lock . Will not open . Tried all the secrets and tapping the button twice and unplugging for 5 minutes blah blah blah . Is there anyone on this planet that knows what the symptoms of a Stuck lid lock means ? Bad control board ?? Please help
Hopefully you found something because mine is currently getting stuck locking on me too
@@johnnyruiz9932 it was the control board
