  • In this detailed tutorial video, join me on a troubleshooting odyssey with a Whirlpool machine where the water pump would not stop running. After exploring and replacing nearly every electronic component without success, the proper solution proved elusive. It wasn't a wiring short or a faulty electrical part; the real problem was a high-pressure condition in the pressure line leading to the pressure transducer. Discover how a straightforward removal of the line obstruction solved the issue. This video is perfect for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners looking to save time and money by efficiently getting to the root of appliance problems.

    My pen name is Cal Kasheau. Hey, I'd like to shamelessly promote my literary accomplishments while I have your attention. I have several short story titles on Amazon; the links are below. Some are humorous, some reflect events in my life, and some are legends I heard of as a child in the swamps of Louisiana. They are only a dollar or two, and most are free with a Kindle unlimited membership. I hope you will take the time to read one or two and give me your honest opinion in the comments on whether I should continue pursuing a side gig as an author.

    That sneaky booger!!! I keep a hex drive drill bit in my gear just for those. 3/32 or 1/8”, can’t recall. Fits into my little 1/4” ratchet/bit driver and makes quick work of that. I’ve only used 2 or 3 times in 8 years, though. 😂

    What does the wiring diagram tell you? If you leave the pump, what is next in line? All the way back to the control board. The question what on that machine is telling the pump to turn on? I watched to the end, and it was the water level control switch. Mystery solved. Good job.

      Some of these problems prove to be very challenging. Once you get one idea in your head it’s hard to convince yourself you’re wrong. I was convinced that a short was sending power to that pump. Thanks for watching!

    I'm working on the same washer. It will fill with water agitate but no spin. I changed the lid switch. Now the water inlet solenoid stopped. Always something.

    • @HarperandKnowles
      @HarperandKnowles  3 місяці тому

      It may be a problem with the cold water valve. All rinses are done with cold water. If you do a wash on warm or hot it will wash but stop on the rinse cycle. Try testing your water valves using the diagnostic test mode. I have videos showing that. If the cold valve doesn’t open or is slow flowing it will stop and pump out on rinse cycle. Thanks for watching!

    I had a Frigidaire Gally dishwasher beat on me. The answer was that the pressure switch failed, and the machine overflowed and dumped into the plastic base, which has a float switch. When that float rises, it makes the pump kick on. Turn the machine on, and the pump starts pumping. Vacuum out the water in the catch basin, and replace the pressure switch that tells when the machine is full. Problem solved.
