Today's machine is a Whirlpool Washer. If yours doesn't want to spin during operation, let's go through quite a few ideas to test components and fix your washing machines' issues.
In this video, you'll learn where to find your technician's manual, what the error codes mean, and which ones relate to the spin mode on this Whirlpool washing machine. I'll also show you how to force-test the spin and agitate modes to see if the machine really can spin, or if a part has truly failed. We'll also take a look at the components underneath, what they do, and how they could have caused the spin failure on the machine. The video is long, but I tried to be pretty extensive on the fixes.

You have saved my hair loss issues. Lol. I stopped repairing appliances about 15 years ago due to family and new job. Just starting to get back into it and with the addition of electronics, I’ve spent hours scratching my head with various issues that are in this video. I have a stack of these machines in my shop waiting for repairs so I can resell them. I can literally get 5 to 10 a week where people have tossed them. Now, thanks to you I can do the proper diagnostics instead of doing the old parts change and see method. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this video. I’m sure you put a lot of thought and effort in it. Thank you a million times.

Well done. The service manual can be reached from underneath without removing the top. The lid lock latch can be removed from the lid and inserted into the lock so you can open the lid to see what is happening. Safer doing it this way vs having the top tipped back. Overall, very good video. Best I've seen. The Tech Sheet shows power to the shifter motor is Pin 3 and Pin 6 for the black shifter, like you said. But the way you are holding it, those pins are on the opposite side that you tested for motor continuity. Note that pin numbers are molded into the male connector.

This is a very helpful and easy to understand video. Why would they hide the manual like that? Here's a tip for washing machine dummies like me. If your washer has stopped spinning, take the wet clothes out first! When I finally did that it turned out a long sleeve had gotten wrapped around the thing in the middle and was stuck, causing it not to spin. Once I managed to get the sleeve unstuck the machine was able to spin again. I felt so stupid for not checking that first! .

Following your instructions I was able to get into the diagnostic mode. I then did the reset. The washer went into the spin cycle and ran for about 10 minutes. It was noisier than usual and made me think that maybe I hadn't tighten something good enough. Anyway it did spin so I think I can assume the motor is OK. Thanks again for the great videos.

Thanks so much! Using your video I went from knowing nothing about how my washer worked to being able to diagnose the failure of the washing tub's ability to spin. I removed the washer hub and found that the spines were completely worn away. I ordered a replacement from Ben's Appliances and Junk and it worked perfectly. After installing and recalibrating, I put it back into test mode and tried the high spin, and WHIIIIIRL! It spins so fast now.

So this video is super helpful. But before you take your machine apart like I did, check your drain hose. My washer was just fine after I unclogged the hose. Some spinning issues, turns out, come from improper drainage. Works like a champ now. This video is definitely a $$$ saver if you have a piece that has broken

Running the machine in manual test mode the two agitation modes work and the high speed spin.. But the low speed spin does not start.. All lights flash once and then it is back to the two lights for the low spin.. Any idea what could be issue? I am thinking of replacing the actuator.. But wondering if that is the issue, since the machine does drain.. Thanks for any input.

Got underneath, and found out that a squirrel had stored about 3 bags of peanuts where the pulley assembly was. 5 minutes later, and the machine was running like new!

Awesome video! Thank you! I've got a situation where the washer won't spin or agitate at all, even in forced spin while in diagnostic mode. I've replaced the actuator, tested the motor for resistance (passed, average 6.2 ohms), tested the capacitor (passed as you described in video), and checked the gear assembly. I can manually rotate the drum by moving the belt so I know it's not the belt being too loose. When I put it in forced spin mode all that happens is I hear a consistent electrical humming. When I put it in forced agitation mode, it hums in time with the agitation cycle (hum, pause, hum, pause etc). So it's like the washer is telling the motor to turn the drum, but the motor is not rotating at all. Is this a bad motor?

I went into diagnostic mode and went for manually toggling between the various cycles.. the fill drain stuff all worked fine but the motor functions didn't work. No rinse or agitate but I did hear some oddball sounds. I have to run it again as I've gained some new knowledge since first running the test. The drum from the top view looks good. (removed checked that out). I have since replaced a cap on the pcb and checked motor cap under the machine.. now I'm getting into the shifter and motor diagnostics. (fault code threw me a motor control fault). Please clarify the pins on the motor to test. Perhaps i must reference the manual. This thing read like chinese the first time i looked at it but more things coming into focus as I stick to it. This thing has become an obsession I refuse to give up. I know people trash talk these machines but the fact is it ran flawless for about 8 years.

Good to know! Were you able to fix it? If so, can you share all the things you did to get it running again/ty

Hi Sir, your videos are very useful, but after doing the calibration it will work but it will stop again with spin, and there is a ticking sound. Can you please help me

The basket hub was replaced about 6 months ago. The agitator spins with the basket. The capacitor and motor is OK. I'm thinking something like the transmission. It is fine for a manufacturer to guarantee a part for 10 years, but still expensive to install. Thanks for the input!

I tested my actuator and I get OL on the pins mentioned in the video...But I get the correct Ohms when I test the same pins with the opposite colors. Video shows red on top and black on bottom pin. Is this correct?

My teenage son emptied half bottle of laundry detergent in my washer as this exact one in the video it was working great no problems but after he did that, it started giving problems it's letting out the water and not washing. After I filled it manually and left it there after 2 hrs I heard it washing then after the wash cycle it drained out the water went into rinse but did not fill to drain. When I start the cycle all over to rinse and spin it still did nothing.

Great video. ! A capacitor tester is relatively cheap and will tell you if the cap is bad.

Hey Ben. I have a built in Kitchenaid oven/microwave. It’s about 3 years old. When I went to use the microwave it stopped and displayed an error code F1E5. I am planning on changing the magnetron first as it is cheaper before buying a new inverter board. Have you seen problems like this in whirlpool products that are under 5 years old?

That inverter might not be worth replacing. Depending on the price.

I did a manual test on my washer, low spin failed (started then stopped immediately) but high spin worked fine. What could be the problem?

Can you do a video of older whirlpool models that don't have any of the lights on the front? mine is just dials, so I can't test for what is wrong with my washer. It fills with water, but doesn't spin or drain anymore. We are stumped with how to get it spinning again...

My motor is reading 0.00 on both pin sets. Does this mean it’s shot? I only unhooked the harness and checked I didn’t remove the motor from the machine.

Help! I have not found anyone with the same problem I have. All my temp settings give me cold water. My hot gives me hot. I replaced the inlet with the solenoids and got the same thing. I have watched lots of videos and have learned a lot but not what I needed. Any help would truly be appreciated.

The washer was making a loud clicking noise in spin cycle. Replaced the actuator. Now it makes a few clicking noises, then spins fine. Is this normal?

To discharge that particular capacitor before testing use two screwdriver. Each one touching the seperate prongs then cross the screwdrivers to have the metal touch. On that capacitor the plastic housing stops you from simply laying the driver across.
