My whirlpool had this code F7E1 and I replaced the shift actuator but it still wasn't spinning. I then replaced the capacitor and now it works fine. Thanks for the video!

So thanks to this video, i was able to get the fault code on my whirlpool WTW5000DW1 washer. It was the F5E3 code- lid lock. The washer was cutting in and out of each cycle...You could hear the lid lock switch clicking while sensing, washing, etc and the lid lock light wouldn't stay on. My fix was taking some electrical contact cleaner and generously spraying the lid lock switch. The electrical contacts must have had some dirt/muck build up. Working perfect again now. Washer is 5 yrs old. First issue i've had with it and am very happy with the machine. Thanks a ton FreeInDeed!!!

Thank god I found you I'm sitting here now did everything you said so far so good I'll never buy another washer like this again but it makes a strang noise washing this sucks

I wish I would have seen this video before replacing my washer plate and hub only to find out it was the Shift Actuator. Had no idea these threw out error codes and how easy it is to read them yourself. Great video

I had an F8E1 and was able to read the problem on your other video where you show the manual page by page. So in my situation, the rinse water fill was taking too long and thus the cycle would never complete, omitting the spin and always returning to wash. I disconnected all pipes from the machine and saw there was sand clogging the filter on my incoming cold water. I vacuumed the filter as well as the inside of all the pipes (drain too) to get any dirt and debris out. Then, I reopened the valves and ran water long enough into a bucket to make sure there was no air inside the pipes. I reconnected all three pipes and it seems to have worked. The manual says that the error code will erase after 10 washes if the problem doesn't reoccur. Thanks so much, your vids helped me the most.

This washing machine has been one of the worst home purchases we have made! It's a pain in the rear, and seems to never really work correctly!

Sir, your Whirlpool washer videos helped me troubleshoot my washer. Thank you.

This is insane, I want the old school washers with no programming crap, just wash the stinking clothes!

I bought mi machine yesterday and I returned to the store it’s the most worst machine that I never saw in my life

Thanks a million for this video，Using your video as a guide made this a pretty easy fix.

I see my code on the video, but can't read it while paused. It's the top one, the right page. OXOXO XXXOO O=on X=off I had no idea our machines could communicate to us. Thank you for this video! - Kyle from NC.

99% of the time its user error as always. Its not like an old style machine, its critical you have proper water pressure and temperature, select the proper cycle, level it well. We're never gonna have the durable beasts of yesterday that took a beating and came back for more.

Thank you. answered prayer.

Thank you for the video. How did you fix the problem your particular error code pointed to?

My brand new one has a clunking noise when it fills with water then clunks again whil washing

I lost my tech manual. I have codes that came up as F - SPIN AND E - DONE. Then it was F - rinse/spin/done and E - rinse/spin/done then, F- rinse/done E - done and F - wash E done.

That’s cool you quoted a bible scripture at the end. Many ways to plant seeds

I have a expert system with auto level, at the end of tge cycle all the lights runs across instead of just turning off is that normal? Also when its filling water it makes a clicking sound maybe ever 15-20 seconds

This brand is trash! This is the 4th video I have watched in an attempt to figure out what was wrong with my machine. All videos and the people in the comments are saying the same thing. STUCK ON SENSING!

Mine sounds like a Semi shifting gears without the use of the clutch. Been working fine for several years and has made those noises since the first day. I feel it will come apart any day.

Merry Christmas did what you showed first code all lights flashing fill,wash,rinse,spin,done.second code fill rinse spin done and rise and spin.3 code full rinse spin done and rinse and done.got any advice please and thank you.opps the all lights flashing in the fisrt one is i believe thats just telling you its in error mode

Thanks for sharing this!

I can’t get my sensing light or wash light to come on! It’s stuck on rinse and lock! Any help???? Thx

Thanks for making this video. It saved me a lot of time 👍

Ok was there a part two to this showing how to put the code back in . Sometimes when doing a post video 📹 with your phone 📱 then up load

Dam right this is amazing

Thank you so much for this video! God bless. But I cannot for the life of me see the error codes even after taking screen shots and zooming in on both of your videos of technician guide. My washer has sensing, washer and done error code. Do I just do what you did on the video? Thanks so much in advance!

Where did you get that manual you are looking through?

I have tried everything but my whirlpool will not go into calibration mode please help

I have the same issues with my basket hub, where it spins freely. Was your pump also loud?

Mine sounds like a ghost. I just moved in this condo and the washer has no agitator…

So my error codes are all the green lights are blinking. I cannot find any list on what this could be. Basically what is happening with the washer it's identical to this one I press start the lock light flashes and doesn't allow it to engage in wash if I press the start button three times real fast it says sensing but nothing happens after that it fills for a split second and says sensing still and doesn't do anything else. I have no idea what this could be

Where did you get that manual with the error codes? My manual has nothing like that in there and I’m going nuts looking for that stupid thing

Only my sensing light is blinking whats that mean

I have this washer and I hate it. Saving money to buy a new one.

Do not understand why it was made so hard to use. I will get rid of my washer this type.

What cause the barrel. To. Break

If you hit start button and lights still blinking at end

I’m at the point of jus figuring out if there’s a code! New springs & can’t get spin or wash! Hear the motor come on & stop! Belts on no Tension, capacitor good , actuator good! Fills with water & basically nothing else! Drains back out! Appliance guy told me replace LID lock! SAME RESULTS! It’s not the lid lock!!!

My lid lid locked and won’t open the light just keeps blinking red please help !!!!

I followed your directions,and nothing lit up at all.

I don't have errors, but this washer absolutely SUCKS!!! How can I bypass the lid lock without having some switch with wires hanging out of the front? I just do not want it to lock! I've had to drain the damn thing and start over, so many times with this rediculous feature! Absolutely hate this washer and any other like it!!!

Mine spins out but won't agitate

I lost the manual and currently the light is stuck on "locked" and is making a clicking sound.

I just bought this washing machine no more than 2 weeks ago and it's giving me problems I bought this machine to the fact that Whirlpool is recognized brand of the best washing machines but hard to say they have become the worst machine and not use a friendly they are horrible to use they don't allow you to control the water level after you have set already in medium or small if you want to change it to large amount and it stops spinning I just lost about six load of water back to back just now this is so horrible it's a Whirlpool 19 kg model number 7MWTW1904MD1horrible

Why on earth did I buy this machine! Bought it from a friend who sold it to me at half price. She claims she only used it once. If I had the money I'd through it out and buy a different one.

My model #is wtw16fw3

Could someone tell me the price of the washing machine?

'Alright here... i have the service manual...' <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="41">0:41</a> please explain how you get your hands on this and the rest of the video is unnecessary...

Okay so what was wrong and how did u fix that error code

the progress lights won't come on

So what is the real problem

I just call a repair dude

Stupid machine!!!

Very painful to watch. Do a dry run before recording.

Never buying this piece of shit brand ever again
