The light pattern was a lot easier to see in person than how it looked on camera. This video made it easy. Thanks!!

One of the shifters could be bad and I hate to say this but it's trying to do a cycle right now so I hope I'm not speaking too soon on this but I'm going to try to do a load I think it might be working now thank you so much for your videos without your help I'd be lost I can't say enough on how much you've helped me along the way over the past couple years trouble I'm not sure how long I've been subscribed to your Channel but it feels like a couple years watching your Channel thank you so much duct tape mechanic you deserve to be blessed everyday of your life you and your family.

I found the problem and it was due to too much soap suds I looked in the manual and it said that too much soap suds can cause it not to spend but I did mess up one of my brand new shifters but that's okay cuz it seems to be working okay now it did a final spin after I did a rinse and spin and I did a final spin that worked out pretty good I hope it'll do another load but thank you again duct tape mechanic couldn't live without you bro God bless you and your family. I just hope as usual I'm not saying things through soon I'm trying another load to see how it goes.

Dude thank you so much. My kids arent easy on appliances, and this newer stuff still blows my mind. Actuator codes, flipped her over and found the position sensor with a dead spot in it. Man I miss float switches and timers!

Great video! My code was F8 E1 (too long to fill error) I checked the water inlet valve and it seems the cold side motor/pump was busted, so I will replace the whole water inlet assembly. Luckily I can still run it on Hot only till the replacement piece arrives. Videos like this are amazing. saved me $500+ trying to buy a new or used washer.

First, thank you for putting your time and effort into these videos; you are doing all of us KZfaq mechanics a great service man! So my Centennial was getting stuck in sensing mode, and even when I held down the start/reset button to clear it, it was still trying to run what I believe was the sensing function, yet no lights were on at all. After unplugging it, waiting, and then attempting to put it into the diagnostic mode, it isn't flashing all the lights like its supposed to, just the sensing light blinks. The service manual does have a code for that (no fault), but I'm almost 100% positive that it's only valid AFTER you have put it in diagnostic mode, which I've tried to do multiple times with no success. Could you please tell me if you've encountered this issue, and what steps I can take to resolve it? Thanks again in advance!

Just installed actuator, not agitator, in free CL washer. Thank you SO MUCH for your no nonsense videos! Watching another one since it's been self cleaning for over 2 hours!! Doesn't sound like grinding noise in video 7mo ago but BOY, it's making a racket. I haul my own water and live off the E grid so Not too keen on it using all that power, water..🧐 Doesn't sound like it spins in complete circle, if that makes sense..

Thanks so much, man. Ma didn't even know her washer wasn't working properly. I wondered why when set to deep water, it stayed on sensing and didn't put "deep water" in. Diagnostic mode seems like cool insider info. Great vid, many thumbs up to you, sir!

Gosh, good for you for refurbishing these things that are "broken"! Everyone is so quick to throw everything at the curb these days! I luv duct tape, wire and twine...lol! I luv MacGyver-ing broken things...it's like a puzzle, or a challenge!

I'm sorry to bother you but thank you so much you've been a lifesaver I'm still dedicated fan.

Same washer. Mine just flashes sending light. Unplugged it for half hour. Same. When through the dial reset turns. Same. Nothing working. Previous load worked fine. I don't get it. Seems many people are having this same problem. And of course it's the weekend when I do the laundry and their customer service isn't open weekends. Grrrrr. Whatever happened to service? This sucks.

I sure thank you for the work an videos ya are a life saver yes people are crazy to go get another washer ..i love to have some older ones are the easiest an highest now to work on thanks I will try this an see but can you try to do more about error codes thank u God bless you and your family.

This was very helpful

Hi, thank you for your expertise. It might help also to add for newbies who have never owned their own washer and dryer before that you definitely have to turn the water flow back on after connecting. 🤣

Your videos are awesome. I’m getting an F9 (but the washer is draining) and then with the “backing out” of diagnostic mode, I’m just getting the sensing light comes on until the diagnostic mode ends….Not sure what that is

Awesome work

THANKS for the video. I did like you showed and it worked. What if the E code shows 'Rinse' & 'Spin" light. What would that mean?

Okay I'll try this and my sensing light is the only one flashing no other lights is flashing so now I have to ask what does that mean and if you can help please do thank you so much.?

Yes I did calibrate it after I changed the shift actuator

Can u tell me how to install two new timer one for washing and one for spin in this machine . please

I have a MayTag Bravos washer and the error code is flashing sensing and wash then done. Any advice what I should do next?

What if it reads sense, rinse, and done on the first blink and spin on the second ?

Where do you find how to interpret the blinking lights into error codes? My washers auto sensing light and wash light will blink once simultaneously and then the done light will blink, but I don’t know where to find what error that is.

What does rinse and spin on the second blink mean?

I did all that then I changed out my shift actuator and the sensing light is still blinking n won’t shut off it’s filling up with water draining but not agitating in wash cycle n the lid lock isn’t on and it won’t spin please help I bought the part to change the lid lock switch I didn’t know what else to try

Took a look at the washer today because of UL code. Found rotor cover center bolt loose. I tried to remove bolt, but it wouldn't come all the way off. Instead of trying to muscle it off, I decided to simply tighten bolt down and check for proper operation. The UL code did not come up. Prior to tightening bolt, it was in a hard failure. Hopefully, that was it and it will continue to operate without further issues.

Looking for your expert advice. I have that exact washer and the rinse light is flashing. Won't switch to any other mode . Thank you in advance my man.

Thanks!

What is the name of the shifter for this madel on Amazon?

Do you have the error codes list for this washer? I can’t find it online.

I ran the diagnostic test and I cannot find a way to understand the code. It is flashing sensing, wash, done at one time and then done next flash. It goes back and forth between these. Does anyone know what that means?

Just got this washer after having my other washer for 35 years. New washers like this are crap and won’t last as long

I changed the shifter and it’s still saying the same error. Could it be bad sensor or is there something else wrong?

First...thank you. On my Maytag washer mvwc565fw0, it would not spin clothes all the way dry and the sensing light was staying on. I first replaced drive belt, horrible noise started. So, with your expert help, I replaced the (s)clutch. Fixed the noise, however sensing light still remained on. I did the diagnostic like you showed, so I order and replaced actuary. Sensing light still on. What is my next move??? Control panel issue? Transmission? Please help. I'd hate to buy a new washer, since I might be just a step away from fixing the issue. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TO TRY NEXT OR LET ME KNOW IF I SHOULD GIVE UP. Thank you so much. You are the best

Were is the link for the water valve

What if it is stuck in wash mode? Mine won’t move past the wash light. I don’t think it’s even washing, even though the light is on.

After attempting to go onto diagmostic settings only my sensing light continues to blink. Can anyone help?

Duct Tape Mechanic - My washer is stuck into Sensing Fill mode. I currently has water inside it. I think my wife used it and took off to the laundry mat to finish the load, So I tried to put into diagnostic mode several times and it does not go into it. So what is next? I see people get rid of washing machines all the time, but like most situation, the fix is not too far away. Any advice on this would be appreciated since I do not have the money to purchase a new washer. I can usually figure out what is wrong with something and be able to fix it. Thanks for the video.

I changed shift actuator and lid lock,still wont come on. Started out with full of water and would not drain or spin.

What if the second blinking lights is rinse and spin. What code is that

Sensing rinse done- done?

What if my washer is blinking yellow on all things except done

I tried to reset and put into diagnostic mode. Unplugged for 10 minutes and cant enter diagnostic mode as the sensing light starts blinking again. Any tips to try ?

What if it flashes sensing,wash then done?

Hello, when accessing the bottom of the washer, does it matter whch side you lay it on? You laid this one on it's back, but on my washer if I did that, the water connections and water drain protrude out the back. Can I lay it on the front or either side and I be okay? TIA and thank you for great video's.

I have sensing wash and done flashing

Question? I have replaced everything on my Maytag centennial but the board and motor I put it in diagnostics mode and it recalibrates and goes thru everything like it should, put it on a regular cycle and it will not spin. The actuator is brand new? I would love to read yur thoughts on this. Remember it does spin in diagnostic?

I put another shifter arm that switches the clutch back and forth on putting Diagnostics mode and the first three lights blink exactly like you say but the second blank just shows spin light?

I put a new on ...worked perfect after one day back to the same problem

Mine is flashing sensing and wash and then done what is that code

Well that is good info, mine came up with err code F8 e1 code which is low flow which I already new lol, will not fill at all now just spins around in sensing mode. The inlet filter was very dirty and cleaned it but still not working, when I did individual modes like spin cycle seems to be ok even tested the lid lock think it is ok any others suggestions?

Mines I hit start then as it goes into sensing it makes a loud noise and then it acts like sensing then it stop and keep blinking sensing.

Would this also cause it to "sense" for about 20 seconds and then it'll stop sensing and unlock the door?

Are you converting the transmission to a Whirlpool? Show me how to do it.

One thing i found that nobody has talked about, the pump will run and propellor will turn but it dont have power to pump water out the way i found out i lowered the hose about half way and it would pump water out

I have a MWWX655DW1 and it blinks sensing+wash and then done on that last code. I know that my inlet valves are bad and making noise. I ordered new ones from Amazon. Wanted to say that on my Maytag bravos you need to do this sequence to put on diag mode. Set your normal. 1 CCW, 3 CW, 1 CCW, 1 CW

Sensing fill and wash, then done light flashing. No idea what that code is

You don't mention recalibrating the machine once a part is changed out...Is this something that also must happen ?? Mine seems to be stuck in the rinse phase...would actuator also be culprit?

How about first blink sensing ,wash Second blink just done???

What if only the sensing light comes on after you go through all that?

I have the exact make and model. I took it apart and cleaned the filter, and it was working, and then a clean machine test and now it just goes to sensing, fills, and shuts off and won't turn back on. What can I do?

I have the same washer but a different year, it's also stuck in sensing and the same lights are on. Before it completely stopped working the it leaking water from the bottom, could a faulty shift actuator cause the leak as well or is that another issue?

How do I get to the series free on Facebook? I subscribed earlier. I hit subscribe anyway. Hope it worked.

I have F7 E6 saying bad motor but it does drain and spin out. Do you think its the motor?

With a newer model showing sense mold would it be the same problem

10 year limited warranty, do they honor that warranty or is it still a hassle to honor?

What if i got a differnt set of lights... I cant figure out what my code means.

I have the exact same washer my saying it's going threw all the cycles but it's actually not doing anything

My sensor light blanks and also the Lid unlock light blinks

What to do of clothes still wet after spin? Thx

Our washer keeps getting stuck in diagnostics. It will keep shake violently and not stop. After 5 minutes we have to unplug the washing machine . Any ideas? Thanks

how did you drain it?

I have whirlpool out of the box stuck in sense mode

OMG! I have one and I effin hate it! I literally just got it, and it just fills up with water and drains it, but it never spins ugh I hate it!

is it common for this to happen 24 hours after buying a new washer?

I switched that it’s working but not filling up it’s just working weird I need to clear it

Mine says F2E1

My lights don’t come on

Wife says she unplugs it tries to get it out if of sensing and after 5 or more times it starts to work

What if lights are not lit up

I keep trying to make the stupid sensing light stop blinking so I can enter calibration and diagnostics but it won't stop! Grrrrrrrrrrrrr

Mine won't go into diagnostic mode but I'm gonna take the $26 gamble.

Stuck on lid lock

It don't matter how much $ our kids are taught to take. If you can't do at least somethings yourself. What can you keep?

Mine is 2 MONTHS OLD@🤨

WE SHOULDNT SUFFER WITH ALL THIS BULLSHIT .

My sensing does not allow the water to load to its capacity even if I leave it on deep wash also won't fill, I checked the water lines and cleaned the filters and still not filling up. What can I try?? Thanks
