You're a GENIUS OR JUST WELL SEASONED technician. I've learned so much!

I fixed it! You're the coolest KZfaqr out there. Thanks for taking the time to make and post this video!!

OMG! This is beyond that they have to actually generate pages of instructions on all the different faults and errors that the machine could have. God bless the old vintage washers that just work flawlessly 95% of the time and if something did break you don’t need a book to figure it out.

By far the best vid. on all of youtube pertaining to this model. Thanks for covering it all.

Wow that was pretty informative and seemed easy to do!!! Loved the video Thanks Eugene and have a Great weekend!!!

I'd like to add my gratitude to you for taking the time to create this video. You certainly helped me troubleshoot a problem that otherwise would have cost my family and me much more. Especially now, when costs of everything are overwhelming us financially. Thank You

Thx 4 this video! I hope my problem is jus a capacitor! It fills & drains! But won’t agitate! Hear motor come on & shut right off! These code reading info will help👌

You know, I've watched close to ten videos about this dang washer, but it wasn't until I got to this one that I learned that you got to turn the knob in the correct sequence AND RYTHYM to get into service mode! Thanks so much!

Great video! Helped me a lot in troubleshooting my Whirlpool washer 👍

Thank you for the detailed, step by step instructions! This video helped tremendously!

This video was VERY helpful now my washer works again, thanks a million

Thank you so much for this video. This was exactly the problem with my washer! Yours was the only video that addressed this problem. I would change the video title to be something like 'Change the Washer Capacitor', or 'How to repair washer when clothes getting tangled, agitator in one direction, banging', or something like that. This video was a lifesaver!

The best repair video on you tube for this model Thanks

Just wanted to give a kudos here - bad shifter assembly in my VMW (a Kenmore) and used your stellar video to help me diagnose. Thanks for uploading this! Fingers crossed it’s all fixed now. And yep - washer was purchased in 2012... at least the part’s still cheap even though it didn’t last too long...

I agree with others that this is an outstanding video. I just spent 16.95 for an online Maytag manual that has Whirlpool splattered all over its pages, primarily to get a printed copy of the diagnostic procedure and codes. You covered everything I was looking for right here. After I watched your video I went to my washer and retrieved the service pamphlet. I thought your comment about not looking at the brand name but the dial configuration was genius.

Funny how this machine is probably less than 10 years old and has problems, yet that 1981 washer worked perfectly. Also, loved The Price Is Right losing horns addition, when you were trying to enter diagnostic mode it was like the Safe Game!

Absolutely one of the highest/best quality videos on KZfaq on how to fix / repair stuff. Great explanations, great editing, great camera (sharp and clear). Thanks so much!!

Thanks for the info on resetting after replacing part. I replaced a Kenmore drive hub, and reset it, and VOILA, it works great.

Thank you so much. Ours cut out after a power outage during a hurricane. We thought we would have to hand wash until we could buy one. Bless you

This is the best diagnostic and test cycle operation for Whirlpool units on youtube. Thank you very much. You explained everything properly. Most of the others on youtube leave out too much vital info that is shown on this video. This one gets 10 stars for excellence.

Thanks for this informative diy video，It fixed my XXX dryer in a fast cost effective way! Keep doing what ur doing!

i freaked out when i thought i had no power going to my washer. this guy taught me so much just now. fyi i did the game code 1st try. thanks for the secret owners manual tip also

Thank you for that video it saved me so much money the last time it was just the lid lock

I want to know, how do you get your lid open when it's Locked???

Liked and subscribed! Thanks for this video!

thanks for the video

Really professional; wish u were the one explaining how to fix my car

Thanks. Very well done

awesome. thanks for sharing your expertise. god bless you.

Many thanks. Was able to confirm it was a long drain error, found ear-ring and safety pin and fabric threads clogging the drain on the bottom of the tub side of the hose. 30 min, $0.

Had the same issue with the same machine at a salon. The owner had a guy come out and say the motor was bad and would cost more to fix that to buy new. There is now a 2017 speed queen in its place. Im sure this video will help many .

This video was so helpful. Thanks.

Great video. Thank you so much!

Very good video and explanation

Great video!!! It has helped allot in the troubleshooting.

Truly outstanding video. Very much appreciated

Best video bar none. And, this is actually my washer model. Lasted ten years before this same problem came about. I am following this exact route; and thanks for saving me loads (pun intended) of dollars.👏

So this helped me find the problem and fix my washer in about 10 min! I actually found out that my wife turned the water off when she switched the hot and cold to the correct spots on the back of the washer when we set it up in our new appt. So when I ran the test mode and water didn't go in I turned on the water finished test mode, then started a load and it worked fine. It was think goodness a silly issue but this totally saved me time and money!!! Thank you very much. Plus I got huge brown points with my wife lol

Thank you, it worked

Thank you!

Awesome video man! Great detail helped me solve my issue thanks

I think these videos are by far the best I've ever seen on any subject. Maybe you should have gone into the movie business! That being said, I'm a maintenance mechanic by trade and have been defeated by a Crosley washer. It errors in every way possible from not agitating, not spinning, not filling or doing nothing at all. I get no fault code or a code not related to anything,( over suds, lid lock). Both testing in automatic or manual mode check out with no problem. Only the test of the control board showed no 12VDC on the J12 connector. The board was switched out but the machine still works inconsistently. Oddly enough, the new board doesn't have 12VDC either! One last attempt will be replacing the shifter. If that fails me I still have a shotgun!

Thank-you to showing how to get the service book, finding the code and testing the machine.

I’m frustrated I have the same problem. But last time I press the power bottom for 10 seconds and it worked . You should try that. Good Luck Amigo

Finally someone who makes the process make sense. My Crosley will not go into agitation or spin mode. I was looking at the actuator but maybe the capacitor?

i love it the horns lol funny i can't get that out of my head now error

Greetings, thanks to your video I got it fixed about two months ago but as of today nothing zip nada. I tried to cancel the pump-out mode by pressing the start/pause button but doesn't do anything. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Great video! Are the motors a common problem too or is it usually just the capacitors / shifter-modules that fail? Also, do you by chance know the part number for the capacitor(?)

You saved me from calling a repairman or buying a new washer... I was able to fix it myself. My husband was impressed!!!

Thanks alot!! You are amazing :)

AWESOME!!! THANKS!!

Thank you so much for the video I have the same machine. What is the part number for the capacitor?

Any solution for a F0E2 (Over Suds Condition Detected)? Things aren't getting clean. Using HE detergent (not excessive) though machine is a full center agitator (non HE). Agitator seems loose like it is possibly not catching somehow.

I see him being able to open the lid while machine is running? How do I do that? I tried taking off the locking mechanism but the machine won't run without it. Thanks!

Jus Beautiful Great job👍🏿💥

did exactly like you did but got it on first try.. didn't fill at first but ran all the test Cycles heard the pump kick on even though it didn't dump any water in there after it finish I left it a lid closed it hit the start button filling with water so hopefully I fixed it thank you

By any chance do you know how to fix the sensor which feels the load of the washer and helps determine the washing cycle?

I have one of these washers, and it fills and drains, but doesn't agitate or spin. When it tries to spin, I hear brief electrical hum for maybe 1 second, and then the hum stops, basket doesn't turn at all. I took the clutch apart and it's all in perfect condition (i bought a replacement kit and the original parts all look like the replacement parts, even the teeth).

Hey lorain where would be a good place to start looking for direct dove washers that are in great cosmetic shap that dont necessarily need to work that i can pick up for next to nothing or free. I have a maytag centennial direct drive that the bleach dispenser is rusting out and i would like to be able to rob body parts of a washer that dosnt work. To keep mine fron rusting away.

There are no codes in mine, which happens to be exactly like the one in your video, but my rinse cycles seem to be taking too long now and it sounds like there’s a bad bearing as loud as it is. Any idea. Thanks for your help. I’ve learned so much from you

Can you tell me when you have a problem code about the drive system shifter on the pamphlet to check the voltages on page 13 step 8 to check them at J16-1 and J16-2 where do you check these? Is it on the control module? If so how can you check them since there is no way to measure here unless the connector is removed. If you have to check the shifter issue do you have to check these voltages under the bottom of the unit at the shifter connections while you operate the unit in manual test mode? Thanks for any info.

My washer does not spin on the normal cycle. If I advance it to the separate rinse/spin cycle, it spins, but not fully. The error codes are F7E1 and F7E7. Repairman came and said I should leave it unplugged overnight so it will reboot. Any other suggestions?

Amazeballs!!

Have same model, pulled pump ran under power from outlet, it will go into lock mode hear something try then click nothing?

I have a crosley conservator and it completes one complete cycle and than I have ti unplug washer ti restart another cycle any suggestion on Where to start troubleshooting the machine

Thank you sir

What would make the diagnostic light blink on and off and one of the relays to click on and off they're not doing it simultaneously

I just bought a new lid lock and it still won't work do you have any suggestions the final spin mode is coming up as error.

What do I do if my fill and lid indicator lights are on? My diagnostic test pamphlet says they all have to be off

hello my name is jerry and i followed everything you did worked like an charm however my problem persist i changed the lid switch,compasitor,and synchronous motor still throwing codes F5 E1 lid switch fault,f7 e1 basket speed sencer, f7e5 shifter fault,f7e7 motor fault and hums. know when i put the compasitor on it it did work for bought 2 min's then back to issues i have tryed everything including resetting brain/computer. could you help need to wash close. thank you

need some help. my whirlpool washer not agitating or spin mode this had happen before I change capacitor started working normal for about 1 month now completely stop washing and spin

Mine retired out where you said “the lid locked light should be flashing but it’s not” mine stopped here and the lid was flashing and locked.. about 3 mins later it stopped and unlocked but the the “wash, Rinse, Spin” lights are still lit up and the lid lock flashing.

Do you have a specific place that you get your repair parts? Or do you just look around for the best deal? Thank you.

You are the man. Tremendous tutorial. Saved me from having to dish out cash for repair man. Thank you.

My Amana washer I brought from one place to another place and I plug it in the washer. Is making a humming noise so what do I do

Great video and demonstration. I got the same codes . Buy any chance what's the part # for that compassator ? Im.sure it's in the comments I'll look. But if any has I would appreciate it ..

Thank you... so my error code is f7 e5... also during test mode it stopped on 08 with wash light lit for some time... please help

I have this exact washer got the same codes you did can you tell me what compasitor i need to order

OK - I have a F7E1 / F7E5 / F7E7 / F2E1... any ideas what the issue is?

My motor is not activating when In diagnostic mode. The capacitor is good reading 44 micro farads..... and it’s spec is 45. The GFCI trips after 10min or so when in diagnostic mode as well

Very helpful video. I can usually fix anything but I hate working on appliances. We have code F5E1 Lid switch fault Fault is displayed if lid is in a locked state, but lid switch is open •User presses start with the lid open. •The main control cannot detect the lid switch opening and closing properly.

Everything was working like you except when you have all the green lights flashing and you press start/cancel for 3 seconds, my lights don’t shut off but at about 3 seconds it beeps and they stay on. What should i do? I pressed power and they went away, did it again and same thing happened. Am i safe to say it worked?

Curious how you determined it was the capacitor and not the shift actuator?

Mine whirlpool washer is a newer model with no agitator. The water lines are working. The top lights all come on. I cannot get it to fill and wash???

Great 👍🏻

Cool !!

Great video! One question: when I try the test mode I can't raise the lid to inspect as you do (lid locked). Do you use a cheater upper lock insert to allow the lid to be kept open?

Great ! Thank you. But how did you bypass the lid lock to open and show the automatic test mode steps as they occurred?

Could you post a video on all of the test modes and what they do? I did this on my washer after watching it out of curiosity. (Nothing wrong with it, just wanted to do it for fun lol.) When I had it in test mode there were 12 different modes I could go into once I entered test mode and started turning the knob. But could you go through all of them and explain what they all are? Also, could you post a video on how the transmission works in these new style washers? I am curious, because these new style washers all sound like the motor itself is starting and stopping in wash mode.....does it actually start and stop, or is that the sound of the transmission? I would think it would be bad on the motor for it to constantly start and stop all the time like that?

Where do I go to find one of those manuals when mine was not inside the machine?

I have this same washer. The lid will lock, then unlock, then lock spin a few times then start filling. Spinns but doesnt seem to agitate. Cloths come out wet but still smell, no soil reduction. No error code, any help would be greatly appreciated, otherwise ill cut my losses and get a speed queen 😂

Hey everyone, I own the same washer but the sensing light continuously flashes and unable to log into diagnosis mode. Any ideas on how to get into the diagnostic mode? Or how to bypass the sensing cycle?

Thanks for the upload! I got the following 3 errors, should I call a tech to fix or go buy new? F7E5 = Shifter Fault F7E6 = Motor Fault F8E1 = No Fill/ Long Fill

Where can i get those parts??

How are you opening lid during test mode?

How come you can open the lid while it’s operating.

11:13 "I'm not gonna change it but I'm gonna plug in the new capacitor." So, did you change it or not? (confused)

Quick way to get manual - since you might be working under the washer is to pull away from wall, lean washer back and rest against wall, then go to front area and reach under washer front to get manual.

My machine won't spin during the automatic test, when I try to run the manual spin test, the LEDs flash despite lid being closed and showing locked. Manual lock test works... thoughts? Lock going bad? The Lid Lock LED flashes constantly.

Please help only my lid locked light comes on
