Thank you for making this video! Btw everyone, if starting at normal doesn't get you into Maintenence Mode just move your dial clockwise by 1 and try the sequence again till it works... my Kenmore has a few less options and I finally got mine to work after moving over 1 time and trying the sequence 3 different times.
Hello thank you for the video I changed the strike and the lid lock switch and according to the package numbers both are correct numbers but my strike doesn't go down in the latch will the calibration mode open the latch? Thank you much
Coming from your other video about the control board diagnose. May not be control board after unplug and turning it on. The light isn't on. Right now locked light is blinking and making clicking noises and now its solid red. Is it a lid lock control issue so I have to try and replace that. Do I need to recalibrate
I have an older whirlpool, mine is agitating before it even is filling up with water. I already unplugged it and i played around with the knob. it did work one time but then its doing it again.
Help. I replaced the suspension rods, recalibrated the washer, washed a load of cloths, and the machine started refilling with water after the spin cycle. However, no code appear during the diagnostic test.
Does both water valves have to be connected for these machines to function properly? During testing my machine i capped the hot side and ran the cold side. However, it started the wash cycle over after the spin cycle was complete.
Yes, exactly. I saw a video saying restart the diagnostic mode, but instead going through the diagnostics turn the dial to wash and done then unplug it for ten seconds then plug it back up. I don't know if that will work or not.
Thanks for your help. Apparently this washer does multiple rinse and spin cycles. I thought it was starting the wash cycle over but it completed an additional rinse then another spin cycle before completing the entire process.
This might sound silly but my whirlpool has a power button at bottom beside 6 oval lights. Should I power on before doing calibration because doing otherwise no lights come on
Hi , I had the same code and replaced the same part on my whirlpool washer , when I do calibration mode when it spins it’s super violent and never stops , and eventually get that same code again for the basket speed sensor , could it be bad spring rods causing my whole problem ? It doesn’t go past sensing when trying to start machine , also to add it won’t end the calibration reset mode , assuming because it can’t calibrate steady ?
My Kenmore Series 100 won't flash all lights. It just shows the green light all the way to the left and the red light for the locked lid. If I pull on the lid, the lock disengages and the red light shuts off. The problem that I'm having is that my getting a loud grinding noise. I've removed the pulley to the clutch and the teeth that engage are perfectly fine. I'm assuming that it needs to be recalibrated instead, When I plug in the washer and the green and red light lights up, it will take a moment and do a quick spin allowing me to hear the grinding noise for a second and then stop. It will continue to do it again and again around every 30 seconds or so. I didn't take the time to be honest.
I can't get mine in diagnostics mode with your instructions, i have a kenmore 6 lights its probably 12 years old anyone have any suggestions, mine wont spin sometimes lid lock blinks sometimes cycle complete blinks i have had trouble like this before and fiddled with it and got it to work for 30 days now its doing it again
What is the part's number? Where can I buy this shift actuator (Kenmore top-load w10280551f ) from Canada?🤔? Error code F7 E1. And how much it cost?? Thank you 😃🎄Merry Christmas 🤶🏼
DTM (great channel name btw), I found you through Reddit. I hope you don't mind me asking: I have Mazda truck (Ford ranger, basically) and I'm trying to find a way to make some money while I study for my main (hopefully soon to be) hustle. Is appliance repair a good side hustle or do you have any other ideas to quickly get going? Appreciate what you do!
Hi. Yes, I believe appliance flipping can be a great side hustle for a student! The overhead costs are low, and if you offer delivery, you should not have trouble selling. I would recommend starting with whirlpool/kenmore direct drive older style models. There are a lot of resources available online!
@@DuctTapeMechanic yes, from your videos, I can tell these brands are your bread and butter. I'll definitely see what I can find locally and see what I can do. Thank you!
The hum was my drain pump? I'd marked it good last time I felt like trying to fix it.2003? Ordered new pump.120v is there. H2o solenoid click s first then the hum.thanks!!! Use my owners pamphlet later/page 12/do the run down on pwr.etc.
As always, very informative and super helpful
Thank you for the support!
Another great video. I like the STP hat. If you ever make a Duct Tape Mechanic hat I would buy one.
Thank you! I will look into making a DuctTape Mechanic hat when/if this Channel gets bigger! Appreciate the support!

Great tip!
I just canceled a service appointment, so you saved me at least $130. Thank you
Very informative and useful information thank you for sharing it 😊
Thank you sir!
What about if the machine doesn't go in calibration mode. When I put it all lights just go off and nothing happens.

Is your washer like the one in the video or older style one with a timer?
Yes, exactly. I saw a video saying restart the diagnostic mode, but instead going through the diagnostics turn the dial to wash and done then unplug it for ten seconds then plug it back up. I don't know if that will work or not.
Thanks for your help. Apparently this washer does multiple rinse and spin cycles. I thought it was starting the wash cycle over but it completed an additional rinse then another spin cycle before completing the entire process.
Can I still do this if I don't have lights on my washer to know when it's time to hit start?
This might sound silly but my whirlpool has a power button at bottom beside 6 oval lights. Should I power on before doing calibration because doing otherwise no lights come on
You shouldn't have to power it on before recalibration. Plugging it in should be enough
Mine just stays on sensing and no locklid lights on and won’t recalibrate
What if it fills with water on small loads but not enough water for larger loads. Could that be because it needs to be recalibrated?

Mine just makes an awful sound when it’s “sensing” but won’t go any further. What do I do

I got it to the rinse light but the start button isn't working
How are you starting a cycle then?
I can't get mine in diagnostics mode with your instructions, i have a kenmore 6 lights its probably 12 years old anyone have any suggestions, mine wont spin sometimes lid lock blinks sometimes cycle complete blinks i have had trouble like this before and fiddled with it and got it to work for 30 days now its doing it again

Just search Amazon for the part should be readily available. You can remove the old one and get the part number
What happens when don’t stop pumping water?
My lid lock button keeps flashing red, won't lock and fills the washer with water but doesn't work or go thru a cycle...help!
Any help
Same, did you find out what was wrong?
It's helpful thank you
You're welcome
These stop working way too easily. I want the old washers back. Same with cars.
Me too! I had a dryer 40 years old and a older washer that actually worked! I regret upgrading big time. This is all junk plain and simple junk.
Thanks!!!🙏🏽
I went through these steps all that happened is the sensing light is flashing.

There’s is 3 clicks in casual button. It not working
If I smoked
I could have enjoyed 3 or 4 before you got to calibration.
I h Ave a hum and no lights.
I'll try once more /thanks
Hahaha.. well, hopefully it works!
The hum was my drain pump?

LG washing top lodging can on but can not pump water ok
After load finishes. Washer still sounds like it is trying to pump out more water. No lights and washer will not turn on.
Sounds like a bad control board caused by a shorted out pump. Replace pump then board (if it is worth it)
