I have a stack of these machines in my shop waiting for repairs so I can resell them. I can literally get 5 to 10 a week where people have tossed them. Now, thanks to you I can do the proper diagnostics instead of doing the old parts change and see method. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this video.

If your washer has stopped spinning, take the wet clothes out first! When I finally did that it turned out a long sleeve had gotten wrapped around the thing in the middle and was stuck, causing it not to spin. Once I managed to get the sleeve unstuck the machine was able to spin again. I felt so stupid for not checking that first! .

Well done. The service manual can be reached from underneath without removing the top. The lid lock latch can be removed from the lid and inserted into the lock so you can open the lid to see what is happening. Safer doing it this way vs having the top tipped back. Overall, very good video. Best I've seen. The Tech Sheet shows power to the shifter motor is Pin 3 and Pin 6 for the black shifter, like you said. But the way you are holding it, those pins are on the opposite side that you tested for motor continuity. Note that pin numbers are molded into the male connector.

(removed checked that out). I have since replaced a cap on the pcb and checked motor cap under the machine.. now I'm getting into the shifter and motor diagnostics. (fault code threw me a motor control fault). Please clarify the pins on the motor to test. Perhaps i must reference the manual.

Awesome video! Thank you! I've got a situation where the washer won't spin or agitate at all, even in forced spin while in diagnostic mode. I've replaced the actuator, tested the motor for resistance (passed, average 6.2 ohms), tested the capacitor (passed as you described in video), and checked the gear assembly. I can manually rotate the drum by moving the belt so I know it's not the belt being too loose. When I put it in forced spin mode all that happens is I hear a consistent electrical humming. When I put it in forced agitation mode, it hums in time with the agitation cycle (hum, pause, hum, pause etc). So it's like the washer is telling the motor to turn the drum, but the motor is not rotating at all. Is this a bad motor?

My codes are Lid Lock fault and Lid Unlocked Fault. I guess I just need a new lid lock switch. Even though it looks like it works. I guess when testing spin, it tries to lock it, but it isn't able to lock. So something is out of position in that switch assembly. I'm guessing there is something broken here. I don't see how it locks. The solenoid clicks down on the switch, but either psoition doesn't lock the lid from opening.

18:15 you can also put your meter into current mode, and use its probes to safely discharge the capacitor. If your multimeter has a built-in LCR or capacitance meter, you can get a more accurate reading of the capacitance that way. Even though the capacitor seems ok using the simple test described in the video, it might have lost capacitance over time due to aging and to self-healing to the extent it's no longer able to start the motor successfully, but is still able to pass the test. Cheerio!

Absolutely hell no, current mode is not meant for capacitor discharging. That’s a great way to blow up your meter and hands if it’s a big enough cap as you effectively turn your probes into a dead short (fused usually, but some people also like aluminum foil on fuses as a good tip)🤦♂️

Can you do a video of older whirlpool models that don't have any of the lights on the front? mine is just dials, so I can't test for what is wrong with my washer. It fills with water, but doesn't spin or drain anymore. We are stumped with how to get it spinning again...

As appliances get smarter, they also get dumber.

Where is the camera that is monitoring who is washing what type of clothes? Only kidding...your vids are fantastic. Thank you.
