This video helps, thanks alot
You are very welcome... Thanks for your reply
This man is doing the Lord’s work.
You are a lifesaver my man. I took that washer apart 3 times and nothing. Who knew there was a manual in the washer. Lol! Thanks!
I guess I should sell These booklets, but that's not the true American Way. I'm glad that my video, and all the many comments and replies have helped so many people! You're Welcome!
Great Video ! The biggest key was showing me where the darn Tech Manual Was lol. ! Saved me money ! Thanks !!
Yeah I'm glad I could help you with what you needed... An appliance service manual is a very much needed item... I'm always looking up something on UA-cam on how to fix this or how to fix that...if people would just try sometimes to fix their appliances it would save them a lot of money... A serviceman will charge you $75 just to show up... Then he's probably going to add 20% to the price of the parts... And then there's the hourly labor charge... So the time that it took me 2 disassemble the pump and make sure it had continuity and the impeller was able to spin freely and not be seized... I guess that took me all of fifteen minutes.... A new pump motor and assembly cost about $135... A repairman would have charged me $200-$250.. which would include the pump assembly and motor, the $75 for the service call, and $40 an hour labor... Down here on the gulf coast it's not hard at all to get sand in your washing machine drain pump... The friction will heat up the impeller housing assembly and the plastics will melt and your impeller will cease.
Thank you for your comments... Peace Out!
My man! I thought my pump was bad too. Put it back together and ran your tests. All working alpha one!
Just disassembled my pump last night, pump was just barely seized, so I used PB Blaster and soaked it under the impeller for about 15 mins while I cleaned the rust of the electro magnet that the pump was attached to. works like a charm!....thx again for the Video!
You are very welcome and your comment is appreciated. I live on the Mississippi Gulf coast and lots of sand gets in your socks and clothing and the drain pump impeller catches hell...I made this video for that very reason because an appliance service company charges an initial fee plus the cost of a new pump, which is around $130, so there you would have around a $200 repair bill. That's why I went I always have a problem with anything mechanical I'll look for videos that will help me fix my problem and save me lots of money. I always try to live by the Golden rule and thanks again Chris for your comment!
Joseph Chambers hello how are you my whirlpool washer is not draining can you give me and advice what that mean
@@lakenyahughes3588 did it ever get fixed?
If this doesn’t work and you’re having drainage issues turn the middle knob to Normal & hold the start/pause button for 10 seconds or until you hear the washer start to drain out water then you can turn it to the drain and spin cycle and you should be back to normal ! I just had this problem last night and that was my fix
Thanks so much for the response... Glad you got it working
Wow thanks so much!!! That worked for me
Thank you so much for the help
You’re a life saver lol
Caught your reply 2 years later and it worked. Thank You!
I've spent the last 4 days shopping for a new washer/dryer. I can't wait to run this test. Maybe I can save a ton of money!
This really help me alot my water was not filling as fast as it supposed too after doing this it's working fine...thanks a lot
Thank you so much for doing it video I was about to go out and buy a new one
thank you so much, my washer is working again blessings
Thank you so much sir! You were a life saver.
Hello All...Thanks for all people that Subscribed. Thanks for all Comments, likes, and Shares. I'm very happy that my Video helped everyone interested. I'm focusing on living. Through this COVID-19 BS they want us to worry about. I'm not worrying at all. I know it's BS. How many people you know that died from it? NONE? Well, there you have it
Have to disagree on Covid. I just lost my brother to Covid last week. He was only 37 and in perfect health.
THANK YOU. Now you know what you’re talking about 👍
awesome i ran this test and figured out that my drain pump isn’t working ima look into how to fix that
So you can recalibrate to factory settings during any of the cycles it is stuck in? Mine is sounding like draining but not sure (all sensor lights are off)- unplugged for thirty minutes and plugged back and after a few seconds it jumps right back into the draining cycle with sensors still off.
We love you❤
Helped! Great thank you
You're welcome!
Thank you so much!! ❤
My washer has water in it still do I have to take it out by hand or will this work as is
Water must be 100% out for recalibration to work.
Great video. If something wasn’t working would there be a signal flashing light etc? Thanks
This is a life saver!!
Perfect no mystery!
Best ever video!
Im doing the test just like yours and at minute 3 mine doesnt not keep doing the same unless i push the start button and the drum doest want to spin. Drain pump works
You have to find the booklet and follow the trouble shooting instructions. It sounds like the belt is broken or came off the pullies... If the belt is there and on both pullies, the motor is bad or the timer is bad. Did you find the service booklet?
Washer is draining but still won’t spin any advice?
Did you ever figure out what the issue was?
Mine is doing the same
Check your belt
Thanks a lot 👍
It worked. Thanks a million
You are very welcome!
Glad to help where I can!
You are welcome and I'm glad to help out wherever I can!
You are welcome!
Thanks for your comments!
Great info, thanks!
You're very welcome... Just trying to be a good neighbor and a decent person... I'm sure nobody likes to pay the serviceman $200 more or less for a simple repair...UA-cam is a wonderful place to learn how to fix and repair just about anything from cars, appliances, and many other self repair videos...Everyone should try to fix their appliance before calling a serviceman that's going to charge you probably more than what the appliance is worth
I have a question. I have the same washer n it was working good but it stop on drain and spin. It also had this burnt rubber smell. I reset it and tried it again but it still stop at drain and spin. And it still smells. It just sounds like something is stuck somewhere. What is wrong with it?
Appreciate the help she's up and running.
Washer doesn't advance after sesnsing...did test and everything worked..recalibrated n didn't do high spin?
When I do the reset, all the lights turn off and then nothing happens. How do I get to the troubleshooting manual?
Depending on the manufacturer... It is usually in a plastic Ziploc bag... Like a packing slip with the peel and stick... Most washing machines have the service manual on the inside walls of the unit, normally on the front removable panel...or you can push the tub back and shine a flashlight against the inside wall of the front panel and the service manual is found there... And the service manual explains everything step by step...
Mine went through the test mode with no problem but the lid lock flashes at the end of the cycles. When i ran the recalibration mode it stopped and the lid lock started to flash again. Lid lock flashing light can only be stopped by unplugging the machine. Is it safe to say its the lid lock that needs replacing?
That could be the problem. Sorry I missed your message
My washer is very similar to this one, but a different model number. I’m trying to see if it has one of these manuals. So far, it’s not in the bleach compartment. I’m going to keep searching!
It is BEHIND the bleach compartment, in a plastic bag, glued to the front panel. Very hard to get to.
If I do this will it help so my clothes come out soaking wet anymore?
As long as the pump kicks back in after removing the debris and sand in it. Be sure and run the Recalibration.
@@josephancelchambers i got it to work i just cleaned out all the hoses and reset it
So most likely your clothes is already in the washing machine, would you have to do for this to work is hold down the power button for 10 seconds, allowing the machine to drain and then go into neutral mode so that you can do this process
I was so frustrated, you’re welcome
my problem with this model is that it will only fill up the tub a quarter of the way, not getting enough water to wash...
good men there's your like 👍
My machine doesn’t start after calibration. What should I do
mine either
no one has an answer for me
Ok what does it mean if the wash one doesn't do anything along with the spin, but I have seen it move.
I ❤ you!!!
Thank you
What does it mean if the machine doesn't complete one of the tests? Mine didn't make it thru the spin test and started flashing the red LOCKED light.
Either the drain pump is not working, or the machine needs recalibrated. There's another video by someone else that shows how to replace the pump, but you might be able to take it out, then take it apart and clean it from debris and check to see if the impeller will move by spinning it clockwise. If it's frozen up it needs replacing. You can also check the continuity with an ohm meter.
Try the test again and if it does the same thing again you can try to remove the pump, check the motor for continuity, clean it and the hoses...If all else fails, you'll need to get a new pump housing assembly
Sorry, I'm retired now and haven't kept up with messages... you might need a new pump assembly and pump motor
Everything works the first test but when I do the Recalibrate does work for me the light just keeps on going
Mine won’t stop draining?! We are about to open it up
Mine is going through all the cycles but it gets stuck on the drain and no spin :(
Did you manage to fix it? I'm experiencing the same issue :(
Having the same issue. No videos have covered this issue that I have been able to find.
Mine was making a teal loud clickin noise and it wont drain or spin
What if the drain pump didn’t work like mine? And it won’t spin.
Can someone help me I’ve been unplugging the wire that go to the drain pump now door won’t look and you don’t see any led lights on I tried the reset calibration mode it’ll run the spin mode but after it’s done still the same doesn’t work won’t fill the washer with water no leds still and door don’t lock or you don’t see the red light either what can i do to get it working
Yea when it did the drain part nothing happend. So I guess the pump is burned out or a obstruction. Sigh.
My washer won’t spin for long just for a couple of second
Mine won't spin on the test mode 😭
Same here 😐
My washer was full of water so I played with it and it says it has a cleaning washer with affresh so turned the knob onto that one and it drained my washer finally so now I know how to fix the problem
Maybe that fixed it. I don't sell trouble shooting booklets, but maybe I should. You can find this booklet behind the front panel by opening the lid and pushing the tub towards the back by pushing against the top of the agitator and shine a flashlight towards the inside of the front panel as you peek in the open area. The booklet is in a ziplock bag that is stuck to the panel. You have to get it loose by cutting it or grabbing it free, because it is a peel and stick bag that protects the Service and Trouble Shooting Pamphlet.
Then follow the instructions for testing all the parts and also how to do the Factory Reset.
Thanks what happens when you ,
My washer stuck on rinse can you help me?
You should be able to find the service manual in a little plastic ziplock package like a packing slip on the inside wall normally on the front wall... The service manual will instruct you on how to do the diagnostic troubleshooting procedure... And it will show you step-by-step how to recalibrate the machine to the original factory settings which would possiblycorrect the amount of time that the pump will run and turn off... Hopefully you don't have a bad timer...
Thank u
i cant get into diagnostic mode at all, please help
I have the booklet ritenow im going to read it. The belt is good and on both pullies. So idk what to say
My washer doesn't spin at all it just fills & drains
You sound like Stone Cold Steve Austin.
Could you pasa me tour book in PDF?
My machine not fill up with water
I'm sorry I missed your message. Hopefully you read all the other comments and replies, found the Service Manual and got your washer fixed.
Hold your power button down for 10 seconds to drain, then do this
Mine stays in wash and locked. Do you think is the drain pump?
No, I don't think so, you have to locate the factory booklet that is attached to the inside of the front panel. Move the tub towards the back of the washer by holding the top and center of the tubs actuator, and look through the exposed opening with a flashlight and low and behold there you will see a plastic ziplock bag with the booklet inside. Then find the trouble shooting process and determine what cycle is not working... the booklet will show what part is not functioning.
Yea i have to look for the book in the am. When i start the washer stays in sensing and locked. Doesnt pull any water to the tub sounds like it wants to agitate a little but it doesnt. Idk its frustating i have the one just like yours but without the tower "water saver". I checked drain line for clogged but is fine.i tookd water pump apart spins but it has a little resistance is that how it should be?
@@omarargullin2313 yes it will have a little resistance but flips forward into next non-magnetic area... If you want more info tomorrow send me another reply
Yea im going to bed this computer shit pisses me off . good night thanks
Dude 🖒

Worse machines ever
N
Worst washer ever
I love your video. I just lost my father he was an engineer and could fix anything or at the very least walk me through it. Something is terribly wrong with my washing machine it fills up but as soon as it begins to agitate it’s loud then stops I have to turn the knob to the rinse spin and it makes so much noise. I’m on my own with this because my boyfriend seems completely unmotivated and I am beyond frustrated yet determined to fix this. Any ideas Mr Chambers? Thank you so much for your time. IlonaE
I did do the calibration went well however the trouble shooting not so much....
My machine is filing but not washing
I'm so sorry I didn't see this from you! I try to keep up with this as much as possible with my phone.
I don't have a Desktop or Laptop or Notepad. I hope you forgive me and you got your washer fixed with minimal cost.
What's up with the boyfriend not doing WHAT A MAN IS SUPPOSED TO DO??? Sounds like you need to trade both the washer and him in on newer models.
