Whirlpool washer reset calibration

If your Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore top load washing machine is not working correctly, shaking during spin cycle, and making a loud noise, you can reset and recalibrate it. Also, if you replaced the Main Control PCB, basket, drive assembly, suspension, motor, or capacitor, you must calibrate and reset the Vertical Modular Washer (VMW). For calibration follow this how-to video with step-by-step instructions. Some models include; WTW4800BQ1, MVWC425BW1, MVWX655DW1, 110.22352510, and many more...
I’m just sharing my experience, and if you are following my steps, please do it at your own risk.

Make sure the tub is completely empty when you run the Calibration Cycle.

Mine is banging loud when draining and spinning. This will not fix it will it?

Legit read this like 60 seconds into doing this with a load in shit lol I cancelled it I'll try it later I suppose

@YuniG-Carver Жыл бұрын

@@222trixie check if it's leveled. And if still does the banging, it might need the springs replaced. The guy that came to do it said he had to replace the 4 springs, and that assures you you'll have more service out of the machine without constant replacing. Hope it helps

What worked for me are the following steps: 1. Make sure the knob is in the Normal position. Unplug and plug back the washer power cord. 2. Turn the knob left, then right 3 times, then left, and then right. Now LEDs will be blinking signifying the system is in reset calibration mode. 3. Turn the knob in any direction until only the Rinse LED is blinking. 4. Press the Start/Pause button. The recalibration reset will start. Wait until this is over, which will take about 10 minutes.

Thank you sir for your expertise. You are a godsend. I’m definitely not mechanical or tech savvy so I didn’t know what was goin on when my my kenmore wouldn’t leave the sensing mode. I thought oh no, am I going to have to go to the laundry mat or get a new washer, but I watched your video and didn’t even have to replace parts so now my kenmore is back to washing clothes thanks to your generosity. May you and your family be blessed.

But calibrated it and works fine. Going on a cruise in in 2 weeks and there was no way they deliver a new one in time. I’m so glad that this was the issue. I know I got another few yrs. I only wash 6 loads a month. Most ppl wash every day for a week all month. This worked for me. Yayyy 🎉

My problem was the water barely dibbled in, nowhere near enough to wash and then it just sat there. Or, if the washer did fill to the right level, it hung at rinse, drained and left the clothes soaking wet. Followed these instructions. The washer is working correctly now. Thanks!

If you machine flows water while set to hot water it is your water inlet screen clogged. Pull it out and clean it. Use needle nose pliers and it pulls out like a Cork. Screw all this diagnostic testing. Something so simple took me all day to troubleshoot. Hit like if it worked. I had mine stuck in sensing mode. Try this if just hot works.

Thank you, this worked although I ended up trying it twice, I screwed up the first try. Will this solve a auto sense issue? For some odd reason, my machine decided to get confused, auto sense and full wash ended up backwards. For full wash the switch had to be on auto sense, and for auto sense wash, the switch had to be on full wash position. I have zero clue how it did that, it just started doing it all a sudden.

For who It might help…. Our washer was not lighting up at all (store said to by a new washer) and it was stuck on the spin cycle while washing blankets. I pressed the pause stop button for 3 seconds and the second time I did the recalibration I did it correctly and its fixed. Because the lights went out on ours when it was uneven during the spin the store said they thought the mother board was fried. Everything went back to normal doing this including lights working again
