After a couple hours of trying and looking a different videos, this actually worked. Thank you very much! I have 2 window units on auto, maybe it was them that set it off.
I have a maytag bravos washer. When I press the start button to recalibrate the washer it shuts off. Is there any remedy for this? I washed a full load of clothing, but the balance of the load was terrible.
Thanks for the video! Mine stops on rinse cycle with the light on every time. I manually went through the trouble shooting video you have (thanks for that video also) and everything works well... So I think it's a control board and the washer is only 2 yrs old. Should I replace it? Found a few online for a fair price? But at the end you made a comment that it's maybe best to get another washer that it might not be worth fixing?
Stopping on the rinse cycle usually means that you don’t have enough cold water coming into the machine in a timely fashion. Your water valve may need replacing if the cold water flow is too slow. Thanks for watching!
Hi, I have a 1 year old Amana 4516. I pause my white loads to let them soak overnight, and then when I restart the machine the next morning it overflows. Any ideas why this is occurring? Thanks.
Thank you for reaching out about the issue you're experiencing with your Amana washer. Let me explain what's happening. Inside your washing machine, there's a special tube that runs from the water tub (where your clothes soak) up to a sensor on the machine's control board. This sensor is designed to measure how much water is in the tub by detecting the pressure in this tube, which changes based on how much water is inside. When you pause your machine and leave the clothes to soak, over time, the pressure inside this tube can change. Specifically, it can drop to match the air pressure outside the tube. This happens very slowly, and it's like the machine forgets there's water in the tub. So, when you restart the machine in the morning, the sensor reads this lower pressure and thinks, "Oh, the tub is empty! I need to add more water." But since the tub isn't actually empty, this leads to the overflow issue you're encountering. A straightforward fix for this issue involves using two small zip ties. Here's how: Locate the Pressure Tube: This is the tube that runs from the tub to the sensor on the control board. Secure with Zip Ties: Put one zip tie at the point where the tube connects to the tub, and another zip tie where it connects to the control board. Tighten them enough to ensure a snug fit but be careful not to pinch the tube closed. This method helps maintain the correct pressure inside the tube, allowing the sensor to accurately measure the water level in the tub. It's like making sure the connection between a straw and a juice box is tight so you can drink without air getting in the way. I hope this explanation helps and that the zip tie fix resolves the overflow issue for you. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask. Happy washing!
It's not a continuous loop. It's called suds lock. It happens when too much detergent is used and created a lot of suds that the control has detected and wants to clear out. It runs the drain pump for 5 mins which is remembered if power is removed. during this time you cannot stop (according to whirlpool techline there is no possible way to cancel and must sit the 5 mins. I figured there maybe some way but haven't tried 20 secs) or even enter service mode. If you just let it run for the 5 mins it will stop and go back to normal operation..
This is interesting to know. The next time I get a machine doing this I’ll try letting it run and see if that works. Thanks for the information and thanks for watching!
@@obsoleteprofessor2034 yeah, it would be nice if we got a change log or something from the engineers. we have to figure some of this stuff out for ourselves. But there are software updates for several machines for different reasons.
Thanks. Maintenance here. This quick fix saved me from calling in an appliance guy. Thanks.
Glad to help. Thanks for watching!

Chip, you are awesome! Worked just as you described. Thank you for saving me from a service call.
You are very welcome. Thank you for watching!

@@HarperandKnowles I will give that a try, thanks for your help.

Too bad we're not privy to all the software quirks.
