Man!! That calibration is key when replacing the actuator!! My unit would not run any cycles until I recalibrated the new actuator. Great video!! Very helpful!

Thank you to Matt and Ace Appliance in Toledo for this Great, well executed, pertinent video! It had all the steps, tools needed, and even showed Matt under the machine. I followed all the steps, and my washer again works like new. THX!

Great video, had difficulty with my unit not completing a fill and would then drain without ever washing. Found in the service manual in a little area in troubleshooting. Almost completely overlooked and IMO should be everyone first check- the units have a timout and drain of 6 minutes to fill. If your feed isnt open all the way or like in my case a clog on filter screen to machine supply. I m on a well with hard water. So i shut off my water. Unhooked water hoses from machine and pryed out the filter screens/cleaned and replaced. That allowed full flow of water in under 6 minutes which allowed machine to go to wash. Easiest no cost fix! Should be go to before buying parts and is hidden away in service book.

First, Thank You! for this and all your other videos. I just wanted to add that I located my Service Technician's manual in a plastic pouch glued to the front of the washer where the bleach dispenser cup is located. I found it easiest to get to the manual by removing the dispenser cup by pushing the plastic clip in from the basket side. I now know that I am throwing a consistent F7E1 - basket speed sensor error. I trust manual will help with the next steps.

Do you know how many times I paused this helpful video to follow the tests? I hate my amana- miss my old whirlpool, when the world made a little more sense. 😰

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. I just used the video and the booklet to find out that my washer had a stocking stuck in the impeller. Pulled it out and off we go. Thanks for sharing. When I need parts I will consider, unless it is an emergency and can't wait for shipment.

I thank you with all my heart

Very helpful video, thanks for share... Best regards from Mexico...

Great video!!! Very helpful

Very helpful Thank you

Great video Thank you

Thank you sir.❤❤❤for information..

we just had a lot of soap left in ours, didnt seem like it agitated. does it matter where you start your diagnostic mode sequence?

very helpful

Thank you!!!

You're a wizard, you are! Here is what I did: 1) Diagnostic (LRRRLR)...Got 12345 glowing lights 2) RRRR...got 3 (rinse) glowing 3) Pressed start...54321, 54321, 54321 ("reverse KITT" pulsing light pattern) 4) Less than 20 seconds later...123456 all solid color (all green + red lid lock) 5) Press & hold start...lid lock blinked for 10 seconds then CLICK, unlocked. 6) I then started the machine on delicate cycle. I have to say, the noises the machine makes and the struggle sounds, pauses etc are very disconcerting. I honestly would not buy one had I not needed this to replace "Kelvinator" and found this on CL. The code trick seemed to get it out of TANTRUM mode...THANKS

Thanks this is a service man

Thanks Justin Timberlake

Mine is bypassing rinse and spin cycles and comes to ‘off’ position without that two cycles, any suggestions on what could be causing this problem? Thanks

Actually worked

I am trying to unlock the clips to lift the top of the admiral AK44000 washer but the clips won't let go

I have an F2 code on my admiral when I start it it starts to fill and then it spins a little and stops door locked light flashes

I have the same but whirlpool one Sometimes it start washing butwhen its time to drain amd spin it dnt i have to ho to the drain and spin cycle for it to do the job Amd some time it dnt start it makes a clicking sound like its trying then it makes a real loud grinding sound

Wow! My inglis was stuck on flashing final spin way after i removed my clothes and wanted to do another wash! I tried unplugging several times and still flashing final spin! I did the diagnostic set up you did at the beginning then pressed start, and voila! Phewwww! With a small child at home....i'll die without my washer lol! TYVMMMM:)

i have the same washer as i the video. ran the diagnostic and it looks like its a basket speed senor fault, (it washes but doesnt do the final drain/spin) however, i can turn the dial to drain/spin and it will drain & spin like normal. does this sound like its still the speed sensor?

Is there a video on how to replace the tub seal. My washer has a leak underneath the tub. I think it damage the actuator which i now replaced it.

I have the same admiral machine in the video. The machine will not complete cycle (fills but won't wash or agitate) I recalibrate it and it works for about two loads. if we run it on the light cycle it works for a few more loads but then will not complete cycle, any thoughts?

Can that diagnostic test also work on an Amana NTW4650YQ0 washer?

This video was extremely helpful however I am unable to find a list of the fault codes online. Where can I find or buy the manual?

I just bought this unit in August and I think I have the same prob. Should I run the diagnostic? Will it recalibrate on it's own? Also, should there be water under the tub? It seems like its floating, there's so much. Thanks, K.

help👏w10092698 filled w water i had it overloaded came back to it. and it was full of water . but now thats all it will do is put water in the drum. no adgetation or spin

is there a link for all codes. We get the first set of codes exactly like yours but the second set is just the cycle complete light.

I was told that this washer had no computer panel. I have had high brow GE front loader and a Maytag Centennial and each were fired from a electrical surge within 3 years each ! I bought this because it was $100 less than a Hot Point that had no PC board and glad to know it is American made. So am I stuck with a computer board or is it Electro/Mechanical which is easier to fix ? It took 3 weeks to fix my Maytag as they had to order 3 boards. Each time ordering and waiting. I just want a basic machine to clean. I read a review it uses MUCH water and then I have read it does not use enough. Is this worth the $400 with a 4 year warranty ?

Mine keep giving me a code keypad stuck but it’s only one button on it and it’s working Amana washers are so cheap

How do I recalibrate the position sensor motor

Is the middle compartment the only place for liquid softener? It has never emptied from that way...

30 year old Whirlpool Imperial. Doesn't want to do regular cycle however am using delicate cycle but sometimes have to help agitator get started. Spins and drains fine. Could it be the dogs or transmission. Would it spin etc if transmission is bad?

The washer is full of water, the lid will not lock, and will not resume cycle.

I have this washer and my house got struck by lightning what do I do! What could be wrong with it! PLEASE HELP!

I'm having an out of balance problem I guess.... it starts spinning, even practically empty and can't get any speed and does not spin the clothes much at all... just bought it on craigs list... i'm going to try a calibration....

Help: I have an Admiral ATW4675YQ0 with exactly the same problem. Fills, washes and rinses OK. Red lid light begins to flash although door stays locked. Dorr switch checks OK for continuity. Also jumpered it to be sure.Tries to spin but cuts out. Spin cycle gets shorter and shorter. Clothes always wet. Changed the control board and cycle timer; didn't work. Where do I order the sensor shown in the video and how do I change it? Under the main motor is what looks like a 3 rpm timer motor. Does that control spin cycle?

I can't seem to find a sheet in my control panel to tell me what the codes mean? I think they forgot, I know that's where you could usually find the schematic and more detailed trouble shooting info, but my Admiral does not have one. Any chance you know of one posted online?

My situation is that the washer stops at the end of the wash cycle, and will not enter the next cycle. My first code, numbering the lights from 1 to 6, is 1-2, alternating with 5. Advancing the control knob one position, I got 1-3-4-5 alternating with 3-4. My tub spins freely. Also, do you recommend opening the machine from the back? Did you go in through the bottom here because of space restrictions? Also, can I assume that my machine was calibrated at the factory, or is this something that I ought to do myself? Thanks.--Tom

Always check to make sure that the start button is not "pushed in" I spent $108 dollars to have the Sears guy come and pull out the plastic button with a little screwdriver that was causing the washing cycle (electronic panel) to not function. Check the button first before you call for service!!!

Hello everyone, if anyone needs to find instructions for repairing washing machines

I have no pressure in fill and when my wash cycle is on regular all lights go out and it does not rinse I have to put it on rinse and drain every time now on the warm and hot temp it's fine but cold cycle will not work and u can't wash black color in warm cycle and I'm getting frustrated with is there a reboot button or anything of that nature that I can press to have it work ?

Is it easy to fix the part you replaced? I have the same washer with the same problem. I don't have enough money to pay someone to repair.😔

Got a new rompers washer and dryer can't get the washer to come off wash cycle after it senses the load..so Idk what is wrong with it

HI my washer sometimes gets stuck on wash light and won't go forward. I ran your diagnostic and I get this Fill-rinse-final spin-cycle complete. and then rinse-cycle complete. What does it mean?

I bought a new Whirlpool a few years ago, and it took 3 hours going through it's cycles for the first year and by the second year it was stuck on spin and never spinning. They would have done a house call for some outrageous amount. Old washing machines never had these sensors and were 10 times better. They are designed to break down and the sensors are not a requirement to having a washing machine breakdown. I struggle with mine sending it through all the cycles for days at a time until one time it finally goes through after 6 tries, and I wonder why all my shirts have holes in them, but the old veteran on a fixed income cant to have it fixed, but why fix something that was shit to begin with.

I'm getting rid of our " modern efficient " maytag washer, 2 months old two service visits still doesn't work, a washer should last 20 years, obviously those days are gone.

mine makes a loud humming sound when you plug it up. no lights comes on ????

What happens if you dont calibrate after installing new part?

looking for a lid switch assembly PART NUMBER for an AMANA MOD# NTW4516FW1 or a replacement number

My washer gave a "fill" code when I ran your diag test. Any ideas?

I have a Whirlpool Top load agitator type washing machine model WTW4800XQ4. I bought it about a year ago. Ever since i have it, i get white detergent stains which are so noticable on dark color clothes that i cant even wear them!!! I tried changing the brand of detergent, I tried using less detergent, Does help. So i decided to run the washer and stay to watch it run. I noticed that the wash cycle is fine and it drains and spins out, then to the rinse cycle , the drum fills with water and IMMEDIATELY drains. No agitation is heard and no spin out, Then in spin cycle water fills again and drains and then spins out, and done During the rinse and spin cycle when water is in the drum ,there is no movement, the pump just turns on and drains!!!! I had an old maytag for 20 years and never had a days trouble with it , What is wrong with the washer ? Thank you

I ran your Amana washer test, and it was right in unison with what was happening So why doesn't mine work?

Pleas help me out with my Washer I have a Kenmore series 100 it's not spinning and washing but the washing light its on

Why can't they keep making good old plain washers that use to work without issues. Now they have appliances that have all kinds of expensive sensors and motherboards that are always breaking first before the units.

thanks. first video to mention CALIBRATION!

Now all the lights went on and then they went off and now it says cycle complete. Should I put it to a test wash now?

My Crowly doesn't complete final spin. Junked it. Bought 4.9 cu ft Amana $700 all in including delivery set up and take away old one.

I have a roper looks like the same model works fine but when it finishes it's cycle it restarts on it's own can someone help

need to work on that gig line fella

What's it mean when just the fill light is flashing

Why is a wash rinse code

We have a Admiral but it's even more basic than that. I believe it's from 09, 2010 maybe it's pretty damn good.

Agitator is stuck what do i do?

I canceled my load but it’s stuck on rinse

A branch fell on the electric wires, and we had no power. When power came back on, washer just keeps blinking "lid locked".

We did the diagnostic and it came back with fill, rinse, final spin, cycle complete as well as rinse and cycle complete. Does anyone know where I can find out how to fix this? Or am i better buying a new one? I am sure with parts and labor for someone to come fix it it's going to cost just as much... what are your thoughts? Thanks!

Can't see

my washer will not start because of lid latch it is an admiral

my lock don't work , that lock when machine is washing

after filling washer will not wash. Instead it drains the water out and wash light stays on but don't wash. HELP PLEASE

When I do the test the red light is on but the green light for the wash is on but the equipment not wash.. Go to meet that

I mean let's look at this from a numbers game this washer machine I think I paid $299 for it so let's just say $350 how much does it cost to get a guy to go to your house I mean the flat rate 100 200 and then that's before Diagnostic and repairs or maybe diagnostic is included in that fee for him to show up but after that they're still parts and labor and I mean again realistically I paid $300 for this and this is why everything is disposable. Also here though did you notice how after all the Diagnostics the computer said the machine was running perfectly and there was no error code and the initial error code could have been caused by stuck underwear and a stuck sock but again it's so expensive to have a repairman out that repairman doesn't want to go to the customer and say hey it just cost you x amount of money $150 or $200 and your machine runs perfect so what do they do they replace the part that they even admit is probably still good but they have to do it to give them a reason to be there and make the customer feel happy I mean it's just a slippery slope and I get it but man oh man makes everything disposable

Damn. Did the diagnostic, its all the error codes like 4 of them. Is it even worth it at this point?

mine keep hitting on the sides AND THERE IS WATER UNDER MY BASKET

I ran error check codes on my machine,but am clueless how to interpret them-....

Matt, Pam's son?

brand new unit wont work lowes junk fills drians and keeps draining shuts off pos

It didn't work. It throws my water out before filling is complete

I just unplug it and let it reset itself.

control board blew after a year

I guess when you have money you just put it out for free and buy another one. This looks like a headache
