Saved me the trouble of driving 80miles with my washer to get it looked at just to find out my drain line was too low and siphoning water causing a fault. I had a old washer before that I salvaged from 3 broken ones. When it went out I decided to buy a brand new one for the first time and had problems right away and a few weeks of trying to figure out the issue this video is what helped me finally fix it. Keep it up much appreciated.
Thank you Helped solve my washers issue. Got the code for drain pump issue F9E1 and ran test with back off machine. Arching from wire harness so stripped the elec tape off to find 99% broken wire with burnt insulation. Repaired break and reset machine per instructions in this video. One thing to add, the machine was all ready to go but would not start. I unplugged for 5 min and then it operated fine afterward. Just a note that my machine turned out to have an extended warranty from membership box store so we called in Maytag repair (haha) man. Besides offering nothing for feedback, he advised on further questioning he needed a part (wire harness and drain pump) and was unable to give any time estimate. Meanwhile cloths piling up. So I completed repair above and we will see how long before he shows back to finish his work. Hope this pays it forward for someone else with similar issue. This washer is 16 months old
Last week at the dump i scored an old Speed Queen dryer for my first and last house. All it needed was a cleaning and a patch in the lint filter. The washer is a Gibson Heavy Duty that works but i know nothing about them. Old is good, older is more gooder.
This video saved me so much headache!! I have a warranty, but didn’t want to have to file a claim, wait for service and parts and worst of all having to lug laundry to the laundromat. This video helped me find the problem and fix it easy. Thank you so much for sharing this information!!! 😊😊😊😊
Your video is perfect! Its full of info I couldn't find anywhere else. Helped me figure out the code about the motor not working. Found out the bracket that hold the capacitor have dent to prevent rotation of the capacitor, and these dents made a hole on the capacitor and broke it.
Hello Ben ...Thanks so much for all you do for DIY folks....Your video is spot on for the exact unit that I have and trying to fix. My machine makes an ear piercing /screeching metal sound when the unit first starts to spin.... 1st in the counter clockwise during sense cycle... and periodically during the spin cycles. Not sure if its the shift actuator,, clutch, or gear box. I will try to reset the unit and then try to identify the fault codes.
Thank you so much for this video my washer was sensing, water, drain done. I was able to find the error code: F7E1 replaced the shift actuator for $24 and it's working awesome
Thank you so much for making this video I was able to run the diagnostics test and the error code was laundry overloaded I rearranged the clothes and now it is working 🤞🏻
@@TheG4fbaby you need to test via multimeter for that. See if you can get a signal from the control board to the pump (OL means its dead), then take pump connector off and test pump. We are seeing a LOT of these units have dead drain pumps, that end up being the harness rather than the pump itself.
@@bensappliancesandjunkplease help with my washer. It’s sensing making a noise sounds like it’s draining, then going to done. Did the hard reset twice,,nothing happened, plugged it out for a day still the same thing.
this is ridiculous. i just bought my washer/dryer set & it's not working. i am 70 years old & i don't have time for this complicated bs. wtf?? i had to remove a whole load of wet clothes & carry them upstairs & wring them all out & hang them all over. these corporations have spent millions to hire electronic wizards to come up with the most complicated technical nonsense that will regularly break down & leave us stressing out trying to know who to call, what way to turn. i want my old school whirlpool washer dryer set back. they lasted 20 years, i left them in my old house. i bought this set from lowes with the promise of a $300.00 rebate, & as soon as i checked out, everyone disappeared. i forgot to get the coupon. they should have handed to me. everybody is a greedy scoundrel anymore. i am so upset i am living to see this. i really am.
You're awesome Ben. I just bought a 2020 Maytag MVW7230HC0 used. The tech sheet is missing, can you recommend a site or whatever where I could get a copy of one. This machine has an LED display. It doesn't have the six pilot lights
What is the model of this? I’m going to try to find it and my manual. We just got this wager last year so I thought I had a manual and fits not where I keep mine. Be nice to have a pdf of the binary codes and troubleshooting guide. 😊
Hey Ben! I kinda have the same washer here except it’s not a 2 and 1 and it doesn’t have a glass door top. Anyways, I saw that the wash lid and then done lights blinking and so I guess that would be F2E1? Is there any way to fix this because I just got this washer like 2 months ago
Thank you!!! I ran mine in diagnostic mode and it showed that the drain wasn’t activating. Took it apart and the drain pump cable was severed!! Probably from rocking super hard with a big load. I spliced the cables back together and now it works!!!
Dude, thanks so much for this. Specifically laughing at "referencing other codes that are of course not on this same sheet" and I just felt seeeeen. I was scared we were going to buy the wrong part but at least we're buying the right one. Do you get ads or paid for this? Can I venmo you like 5 bucks? lol
Ben can you please help me I have the same washer wtw5057lw. My sense ligh, done light and lid light are flashing done know the error code and how to fix it
I've had the technicians come out for this washer (May Tag Pet Pro) about 3 times already. It's been under warranty but breaks about every other month. I've gotten to the point where I need to fix it myself I guess. Its a shame, May Tag used to be such a good brand. I'm only buying the wife cheap washers from now on.
HELP!! I have that same washer. I ran the diagnostic test. It flashed the same lights as the example washer: Soak Wash Done Lid Ok so in between flashing this error code it also flashes just: DONE. But does that just mean DONE or is that another error code?
I have the exact machine in the video. It's less than 2 months old. Under warranty. I'm cautious about doing any tests even though I can read the long drain fault. Probably best wait till service tech?

@@ninademin8244that is what I am trying to figure out myself. I watched a video that says we need to clean a filter inside the washer. It catches the hair. I think that is what is clogged. I just don’t trust myself taking off the piece to get inside the washer. 😂
Thank you so much. Glad I found info on this damned washer! How did you get so smart? I feel like a dummy screwing around with this washer. How can I get just a rinse cycle? How to stop when the washer starts shaking because it got unleveled? Thank you.
I have this washer, there is no setting for just rinse, there is one for drain and spin. You can use the quick wash and stop after the first wash cycle by pressing the power button. Or you can just let it run for rinse cycle, usually 30.minutes into the quick wash setting. You can pause the cycle by pressing and holding the arrow key until it clicks, it will stop and unlock the lid. I use this to add detergent and fabric softener. This will stop it so you can re-adjust the load too. This machine is a pain but I have learned to work around it.
Thank you for this info. I have this exact unit and it will not run a cycle. It says error code F7E1. Ben, are you familiar with a fix for this code? I have tried everything I can do to try and reset the unit. But nothing will make this unit work.
@@bensappliancesandjunk I replaced the shift actuator and am still getting the same error code. Any other suggestions before I call whirlpool support to stop by? Thank you.
@@richpaprocki I'd check wires for continuity/voltage going into the actuator when its running. Either a wire is damaged/frayed preventing voltage from getting to the shift motor, or the board isn't putting out proper voltage (bad board).
I had an issue where the wash cycle took well over an hour and the lights flashing were lid and sense together and then done. The unit would just try and drain the water but no noise and clothes were still soaked. I then shut the machine off and added more water and did a drain and spin cycle only and it worked. Could this indicate that the drain filter was clogged? I did use an old sunlight he detergent (maybe it was too thick/too much) and it was only 1/2 load.
I ended up having to get a new washer even though the codes showed that it was the drain pump which they did replace and still had the same issue. Additionally the machine was doing the wobble on the spin cycle and the suspension was shot! Mind you I had not even washed 10 loads in this thing. Stay far, far away.
Great video - I installed one last night, I am not getting any water coming in - I only get water from the "faucet" button --- do you think it might be water controller valve faulty - this is literally a new machine - I am going to test the valve tomorrow - and run these tests and reset - hope that it will get fixed, if I still don't get water, then I will replace the water valve - after doing all this, I might be out of options - what do you suggest I do next if these do not work out for me?
Thats an odd one. I'd check to make sure both hot and cold water is coming to the valves by unhooking and making sure water comes out. Make sure the screens where the valves are, aren't blocked either.
Our washer’s agitator barely spins and during wash it keeps sitting there, filling with water, agitator moves a little, fills with water again, then agitator barely moves. It seems as if it gets stuck in the wash cycle and doesn’t know how to wash, any suggestions?
I have a 2in 1 washer I got new parts for the washer and it still doesn't work the codes are still flashing sense ,soak wash to done with the lid liight on and then falashes done. I already ordered the control board and the lid lock please help me
Does the water go over your clothes? The water doesn’t go above my clothes no matter what cycle I put it on. How are my clothes washing without getting wet?
Ok I have a Maytag front load giving me trouble error code F 05, which tech sheet says heating element/sensor error. I replaced element, heat sensor and the CCU. Still getting same F05 error code in the diagnostic test. Any ideas?
@fixedalarm5012 I had to order a component to fix it. Give me a minute and I will go look it up for you. Edit: I replaced the agitator motor and solenoid switch. Then I did a factory reset from "Whirlpool Touch Screen Washer Diagnostic Mode, Error Codes, Calibration, and Troubleshooting"
I have code F7E1. I haven’t tried anything with a multimeter yet, not the best at using one other than checking continuity and voltage. My washer will click the door lock, it does lock at first, then immediately unlocks and won’t do anything else. We bought it new just this spring. Any suggestions?
Same f7e1 it's either loose wires, control board, hmi harness, UI or shift actuator. I changed shift actuator no luck so now tech guide says control board. Waiting on part hopefully it fixes it. I'm on day 3 no washing machine. Good luck on yours.
@@chelsiestinson9494 oh boy, have I got one for you. We bought the washer new less than six months ago, so it still is under the one year manufacturer warranty. We decided to have a technician look at it and go the warranty route. First appointment was a week after I discovered the problem, and no technician picked up the work order, nor did anyone from the appliance store the technician was from, or whirlpool, call and tell us no one was coming. We called and raised a little hell over it, finally got a technician to come out today. He saw in his notes that I reported it as a F7E1, he still had to inspect for warranty purposes, I get that. He informed us that they can’t bring parts with them for warranty work, that he has to inspect, then submit a claim to get the new part, and then schedule an install appointment. All of which could take 3 to four weeks. He understood our frustration and felt bad, and I get that. I know it’s not his doing, it’s the process he’s beholden to. Here we are going on three weeks of not being able to do laundry at home, and are facing another month of the same. We have been able to get by washing loads at each of our parents houses, and know that they will gladly let us keep doing so, but that is beside the point. We called whirlpool today to try to expedite the process, and was essentially told too bad so sad. I am losing more and more faith in companies by the day, it shouldn’t be this hard for someone to just do the right thing.
We figured the code was f9e1 which showed the water drain, we bought it and changed it but it's still giving us the same code... Any idea what else it could be, won't drain
Hi Ben! hope you see this comment. My 13 year old Amana refrigerator is on the fritz. It's worked great and i would hate to get rid of it over a simple issue. I'm kinda handy and would like to try and do diagnose/fix myself preferablywith some guidance. Could I convince you to do a virtual diagnose/ repair with me? Id absolutely pay for your time and help?!?!?! Please and thank you in advance with an emphasis on PLEASE!!!!
Amazing how our 40 year old washer has only needed $5 of parts for new cams and will very likely outlast these washers by another 40 years. Plastic clockwork. It's not that complicated.
I'd keep it. I just checked for common parts for my new 31 year Speed Queen I brought home and have many sellers if needed. I'll probably get a belt and other spares to have on hand.
I just got this washer delivered today and I did a second load and it got stuck in cycle with water still in drum with clothes. Like it wouldn’t rinse. We manually drained water. It has happened twice
The 123 don’t work for me. I’m home by myself and can’t get to the plug in to do that. I put some bulky cat stuff in the washer like a couple Cat beds so the washer was giggling in spin cycle. Then I noticed the stuff was wet even though it went though the drained. And the sense and light went off and on and the lid lock button off and on as well. So Idk wtf the is wrong. I just turned it off and on and did a drain and spin and the washer is giggling 🙄
Question- Has anyone had this same issue and if so, was it an easy fix? The "done" light stays on after the cycle completes; I lift the top door, close it and the light stays on. This was not happening before. The "done" light should go off as soon as you open the door. Any ides or suggestion how to fix this?
My wtw8000 beeps constantly. Unplugged repeatedly and still flashes code F then 2 over and over. the power button will not even allow me to turn the machine on or off. Also, all of the lights are illuminated around the knob. Please advise. I have checked all the hoses and they are clear. 7:327:32
Regretting the recent loss of my 30 yr old analog whirlpool--i have 2 yr old similar to the video model and the re-cal flashing sequence has been running for 2 days!
Just got the washer techs ran the test stopped running water did not drain now I have lights sense, done and lid lock light on what does that mean is that fixable
I don't understand how to figure out the code on whirlpool top load 2 in one. It is f7 (the same as in the video). I don't know the E code though. The done button flashes? Any help would be appreciated
Ben, I broke the lid lock. Would not lock anymore. I bought a new one, put it in. Still nothing. Error code F5 E3. Same exact washer. I legit have no idea what to do! 😭
Hello I tried few things but still can not figure out. When I turn on the machine the sense light is on flashing and can. Not start the washer normally
I bought this same one today and already having problems, day one. It will not drain. Clothes are sopping wet when the sense light and done light are flashing.
Dude! You are a lifesaver. I figured out my problem based on the codes, fixed and did the factory reset. Now I am back in business!

I have a 2in 1 washer I got new parts for the washer and it still doesn't work the codes are still flashing sense ,soak wash to done with the lid liight on and then falashes done. I already ordered the control board and the lid lock please help me
Is it solved?
Does the water go over your clothes? The water doesn’t go above my clothes no matter what cycle I put it on. How are my clothes washing without getting wet?
Ok I have a Maytag front load giving me trouble error code F 05, which tech sheet says heating element/sensor error. I replaced element, heat sensor and the CCU. Still getting same F05 error code in the diagnostic test.
Any ideas?
ben, i have the green blinking light on the mother board, but no lights are lighting up on the panel when putting in diagnostic mode
My whirlpool wtw5057lw0 washer is showing F7E1 code (tachometer missing or wrong signal). Can you tell me what that means?
Pretty sure it’s a shift connector replacement I need. Any idea where that is - up where the manual was or behind the larger panel?
Did you ever find it? I had a F7E1 error as well.
Just bought 24 hours ago. My agitator won’t work
@@dclong-what was your fix
@@normahardesty3244how did you get it fixed?
@fixedalarm5012 I had to order a component to fix it. Give me a minute and I will go look it up for you.
Edit: I replaced the agitator motor and solenoid switch. Then I did a factory reset from "Whirlpool Touch Screen Washer Diagnostic Mode, Error Codes, Calibration, and Troubleshooting"
I have code F7E1. I haven’t tried anything with a multimeter yet, not the best at using one other than checking continuity and voltage. My washer will click the door lock, it does lock at first, then immediately unlocks and won’t do anything else. We bought it new just this spring. Any suggestions?
Same f7e1 it's either loose wires, control board, hmi harness, UI or shift actuator. I changed shift actuator no luck so now tech guide says control board. Waiting on part hopefully it fixes it. I'm on day 3 no washing machine. Good luck on yours.
@@chelsiestinson9494 oh boy, have I got one for you. We bought the washer new less than six months ago, so it still is under the one year manufacturer warranty. We decided to have a technician look at it and go the warranty route. First appointment was a week after I discovered the problem, and no technician picked up the work order, nor did anyone from the appliance store the technician was from, or whirlpool, call and tell us no one was coming. We called and raised a little hell over it, finally got a technician to come out today. He saw in his notes that I reported it as a F7E1, he still had to inspect for warranty purposes, I get that. He informed us that they can’t bring parts with them for warranty work, that he has to inspect, then submit a claim to get the new part, and then schedule an install appointment. All of which could take 3 to four weeks. He understood our frustration and felt bad, and I get that. I know it’s not his doing, it’s the process he’s beholden to. Here we are going on three weeks of not being able to do laundry at home, and are facing another month of the same. We have been able to get by washing loads at each of our parents houses, and know that they will gladly let us keep doing so, but that is beside the point. We called whirlpool today to try to expedite the process, and was essentially told too bad so sad. I am losing more and more faith in companies by the day, it shouldn’t be this hard for someone to just do the right thing.
We figured the code was f9e1 which showed the water drain, we bought it and changed it but it's still giving us the same code... Any idea what else it could be, won't drain
Ok I have error code “sense” and “done” with lock lid. What error code do I have? I’m not tracking how to configure the numbers with the error codes.
Hi Ben! hope you see this comment. My 13 year old Amana refrigerator is on the fritz. It's worked great and i would hate to get rid of it over a simple issue. I'm kinda handy and would like to try and do diagnose/fix myself preferablywith some guidance. Could I convince you to do a virtual diagnose/ repair with me? Id absolutely pay for your time and help?!?!?! Please and thank you in advance with an emphasis on PLEASE!!!!
Amazing how our 40 year old washer has only needed $5 of parts for new cams and will very likely outlast these washers by another 40 years. Plastic clockwork. It's not that complicated.
I'd keep it. I just checked for common parts for my new 31 year Speed Queen I brought home and have many sellers if needed. I'll probably get a belt and other spares to have on hand.
Mine is error code f5e3 it says like won’t lock or unlock. Ive already replaced the locking mechanism. Any tips?
Mine says Temp Soil Level Spin Speed and Deep Fill.
Not the buttons you show and mine is a Maytag MVWB765FW3
What now? THANKS? Ed from CA
I just got this washer delivered today and I did a second load and it got stuck in cycle with water still in drum with clothes. Like it wouldn’t rinse. We manually drained water. It has happened twice
You are the man
The 123 don’t work for me. I’m home by myself and can’t get to the plug in to do that.
I put some bulky cat stuff in the washer like a couple
Cat beds so the washer was giggling in spin cycle.
Then I noticed the stuff was wet even though it went though the drained.
And the sense and light went off and on and the lid lock button off and on as well. So
Idk wtf the is wrong.
I just turned it off and on and did a drain and spin and the washer is giggling 🙄
Help please, I have error codes f7 e3 and f7 e4, can't seem to shake them no matter what I do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
you are the best!
Your the best ben
My washer is doing same error as the one. How do I fix it?
Question- Has anyone had this same issue and if so, was it an easy fix? The "done" light stays on after the cycle completes; I lift the top door, close it and the light stays on. This was not happening before. The "done" light should go off as soon as you open the door. Any ides or suggestion how to fix this?
HTF do you fix the F8E6 issue?
My wtw8000 beeps constantly. Unplugged repeatedly and still flashes code F then 2 over and over. the power button will not even allow me to turn the machine on or off. Also, all of the lights are illuminated around the knob. Please advise. I have checked all the hoses and they are clear. 7:32 7:32
Regretting the recent loss of my 30 yr old analog whirlpool--i have 2 yr old similar to the video model and the re-cal flashing sequence has been running for 2 days!
Great video, horrible washing machine. Spent $175 to "fix" it 1 month ago, now not spinning again (F2E3, F7E1)...
Just got the washer techs ran the test stopped running water did not drain now I have lights sense, done and lid lock light on what does that mean is that fixable
I have the same issue my washer isn’t draining either! Lights sense and done and lid is coming on
I figure out my code/problem but can't find any videos on how to fix it 😢
I have the F7 and then done light. I’m not smart enough to figure this out. Any help?
I have the same error… it’s an F7E1 error code which indicates a Tachometer missing or wrong signal
@@VanEssa-56 do you have any solutions to fix this? Thanks
I'm getting code F9E2...that's not even a code option...help. There's water stuck in my washer
I don't understand how to figure out the code on whirlpool top load 2 in one. It is f7 (the same as in the video). I don't know the E code though. The done button flashes? Any help would be appreciated
It would be “E1” did you ever figure out the issue?
@@johnsonfamilytravels3059did you figure out the issue
Ben, I broke the lid lock. Would not lock anymore. I bought a new one, put it in. Still nothing. Error code F5 E3. Same exact washer. I legit have no idea what to do! 😭
Did you recalibrate it?
Does anyone know how to turn on the chime for when the cycle is finished?
Thanks
Hello I tried few things but still can not figure out. When I turn on the machine the sense light is on flashing and can. Not start the washer normally
Hi, on this exact unit? Even after unplugging, waiting 1min then plugging back in?
Mine is blincking done with lock light blinking im lost what does that mean
Wash light off and done light on what does that mean please help.
I bought this same one today and already having problems, day one. It will not drain. Clothes are sopping wet when the sense light and done light are flashing.
Ours is starting to do this exact same thing!
Just bought this washer and having issues with in the first 12hrs. Won't drain and spin.
