My washer was loaded by my better half, but she mostly can't place the cloth with a spinning balance so that the spinning process won't be balanced as well, we usually hear the noisy turbulence or the annoying sound of rambling washing machine during working. Therefore, the miracle happened, one of the major connector was loose after shaking up millions times, after my another magic lucky touch, it is fixed by making sure every connection is perfectly in position. Thanks Lord, who offers us the powerful wisdom.

Question for Repair Clinic: my whirlpool washer 1CWTW4840YW1 won’t start, I traced the power cable to the control board , unplugged the cable from the control board , let it out for a couple seconds, plugged back into the control board and it comes on, have to do this every other time before it can work. Any idea what could be the problem? Gladly appreciate your response
