Video covers how to recalibrate and reset a Kenmore top load washing machine. This same procedure applies for Maytag/Whirlpool/Amana/ Admiral washing machines.

Thank you for making this video! Btw everyone, if starting at normal doesn't get you into Maintenence Mode just move your dial clockwise by 1 and try the sequence again till it works... my Kenmore has a few less options and I finally got mine to work after moving over 1 time and trying the sequence 3 different times.

What if it fills with water on small loads but not enough water for larger loads. Could that be because it needs to be recalibrated?

Another great video. I like the STP hat. If you ever make a Duct Tape Mechanic hat I would buy one.

Hi , I had the same code and replaced the same part on my whirlpool washer , when I do calibration mode when it spins it’s super violent and never stops , and eventually get that same code again for the basket speed sensor , could it be bad spring rods causing my whole problem ? It doesn’t go past sensing when trying to start machine , also to add it won’t end the calibration reset mode , assuming because it can’t calibrate steady ?

Can I still do this if I don't have lights on my washer to know when it's time to hit start?

DTM (great channel name btw), I found you through Reddit. I hope you don't mind me asking: I have Mazda truck (Ford ranger, basically) and I'm trying to find a way to make some money while I study for my main (hopefully soon to be) hustle. Is appliance repair a good side hustle or do you have any other ideas to quickly get going? Appreciate what you do!

Hi. Yes, I believe appliance flipping can be a great side hustle for a student! The overhead costs are low, and if you offer delivery, you should not have trouble selling. I would recommend starting with whirlpool/kenmore direct drive older style models. There are a lot of resources available online!

@@DuctTapeMechanic yes, from your videos, I can tell these brands are your bread and butter. I'll definitely see what I can find locally and see what I can do. Thank you!
