It would have been nice to see what pins you were testing with your meter. Your hand was in the way.

I just cleaned the plastic lens on my actuator and my washer was up & running again. Thanks, good video

You are testing that wrong. The two pins on the end closest to the two black wires are the ones that go to the motor. They have continuity, but you won't get a beep sound. You have to turn a digital meter to the 20k or higher setting to get a reading. I took one apart to confirm that 100 percent.

Can you PLEASE revisit this and maybe explain which pins to test. I've found multiple sources (even in this comment section) that say the motor pins are the first 2 pins from the left, top and bottom. Mine reads 2.5k ohms, I don't know why this information is so difficult to find

What should the ohms be on a good accuator. Mine is reading out at 625 and does not sound when on continuity.

Like to see the resistance test on the red shift motor. Im not sure about pin number location on jack J16 if its the first two pins mine must be totaly open.

Im on my 3rd accuator...the spot weld on the arm keeps breaking

I have a Kenmore 500 series. When spinning it makes rubbing sound and then stops.. i bypassed the lock and i see the basket and impeller spin but at different speeds. When the impeller starts spinning it makes the noise. I trying removing the impeller but it is seized on . Would the actuator be the cause of the noise?

What pins did you check what pin is ground what pins are motor? Can you discribe. Ie six pins from top to bottom and left to right ?

Sir, do you know if the washer will still spin in manual mode even if this actuator is bad? I didn't get any resistance on the actuator pins, but the washer did spin in manual. I ordered the 40 dollar part anyway, even though im not sure. It wont spin, gets stuck on flashing sensing

My whirlpool washer is draining but not spinning so clothes are still wet, but also will stop and start clicking in between filling up. If i change it to rinse and spin mode it will spin the water out the clothes. Is this the actuator or the clutch? Also if its the acuator does it have to be the exact model # (wtw4815ewo) because they all look alike and nobody is ever clear on if the model # has to be exact or if they all pretty much work....PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Like if I have nothing better to concentrate my mind on right now but your partner cottonpicking guitar on the side

I can't move the arm at all, it's seized. Can I assume it's bad without further testing?

The actuator arm keeps popping out do you know why it would keep doing that

My actuator is clicking and the washer wont start. Should I replace it...or is it something else?

I thought the actuator would be a selector switch, not a mechanical finger 😄

What if diagnostic doesn't work at all

Do you know anything about ahmadiyya top-load washing machine like where the shift AccuWeather is located on that

Terrible sound quality sounds like your may be eating something while you're talkin overall good but I thought it was going to be an outstanding video it first
