im sure this was just this unit whirlpool is known for good washers and dryer and our whirlpool dryer works very well but this particular washer unit was not working. we got it replaced with a samsung unit and might end up doing a review on that one since its working fine
I'm taking mine to the range and using 50 caliber rounds on it. I'm buying an older used machine with an actual actuator. These machines today are junk.
You should get a used Whirlpool/Kenmore Direct Drive Washing Machine made before 2010.
Yes these new washers are junk. Mine has a agitator that don't do anything its just for looks.On quick wash it does good but that's about it. The agitators never touch the clothes and even on deep water wash with bulk items and on bulk setting water doesn't get high enough for the agitator to be effective. I spent $500 on mine and it sucks.
@@josephmontoya104 You should buy the new Speed Queen TC5 Classic Series Washing Machine. It has the transmission driven old school wash action with a real agitator. Otherwise just buy a used Whirlpool Direct Drive Washer made until 2010.
I'm on my second brand new non operationall inglis auto fill washer.
Technician coming tomorrow. I'm so upset right now.
Make sure to save me the washplate from the washer before you destroy it
Got a great deal on this same washer at lezy Lowes, $386 but with all the bells and whistles (new hoses, delivery, take away old one and tax) climbed to $460. I waited all day for them to deliver my Whirlpool washer. They finally came at 10pm. Was so happy! They said they had 21 deliveries, all over the desert. Works great!
We need to stop buying these “smart” stupid machines… it’s crazy, what I have to do for clean clothes.
wow,this is the first positive review I've seen.i have one coming Friday
Since when do we have to become scientists to use a washing machine? This is ridiculous!
I bought this thing a little over two years ago and it already is broke. Thank god the salesman at Lowes talked me into getting the extended warranty so I got my money back. The machine actually washed my clothes well, including my queen sized heavy quilts but the darn thing vibrates like CRAZY dusking the spin cycle. I ensured mine was leveled but to no avail. I am sure the heavy vibrations contributed to the wear and tear. I have a fully automatic RV washing machine (RCA .9 cubic foot washer) which is 5 years old now and is still washing well. I used it when my whirlpool broke. Now I have a Maytag (its also high efficiency, unfortunately). I told my mom to have her old school washer fixed if it breaks as they don't make the machines like they used to.With the current machines, you'd be lucky to get 5 years out of them.
Did you balance the load?
So sorry that the machine broke !!!
May I please ask which Maytag you purchased and do you like it ? I was thinking of buying a Maytag...
@@martinbirdwell7986 it doesn't matter how well you balance the load in any of these washers because they will vibrate no matter what. I have one now and 3 previous to this and they ALL vibrate..... They have no transmission in them so they don't have the extra weight.
@@patcola7335 yeah well they also have weak suspension
@@martinbirdwell7986 I wouldn't say that mine spins fine. Certainly better than the GE hanging suspension
Wished I had of seen this before I purchased this almost a year ago. I am having this problem right now! Geesh
KAREN CLARK We’ve had puts a year as well with the same problems now. Sad
Me too. it's driving me crazy I calibrated it and everything.
I got mine delivered yesterday... wanted to start using it today and exact same issue! From best buy
Same 😫😩😤
I've this one and had no problems at all. It totally worked as expected. I have the smaller version of that and it works great.
wow. you are lucky
How do i get it it to drain my laundry? Whats the trick? Just moved in and have a huge pile of laundry. Its not draining...
The lies you tell....
@@rhyanbeckford6806 true it sucks
@@aprilchow-chee5281I've had mine for almost a decade now, works pretty well when used with the right settings, the drier on the other hand only lasted me 7 years and failed not too long ago. Washer is still going strong, will probably last me another year or two
We Just Got This!!!
I’m Taking It Out For Target
Practice!!!
BANG!!!
The most depressing washer.....you want a washer to WORK ..It is new
Lol...lol...i do agree with you..
I just had mine delivered this past month. I have washed maybe 5 loads. I have to walk away after starting it because the sensing drives me nuts... it adds a little water then the sensors have to reevaluate the situation to see if it still needs water, then it adds a little more, sensing again, adds a little, senses again. This makes you think it is broken, but that is the new way they have these setup. Just add all the freaking water and get on with it, Whirlpool. Give me a machine like they were made 30yrs ago! Oh, I decided to wash a SMALL load, and that was a BAD idea... that machine made all kinds of noises and DESTROYED my favorite pillow! Bad whirlpool 😡😡😡
AGREE!!! NO ONE:
WASHING MACHINE COMPANIES: LETS MAKE IT NOISY, TAKE LONGER, AND ADD SENSING NO ONE ASKED FOR THAT DOESNT CLEAN YOUR CLOTHES AS GOOD.
My friend has a Maytag that's lasted probably 20 years needing only a belt replaced!
Our electricity went out today while I had a load of laundry in and when the electricity came back on the lid was locked. I tried resetting it by pushing the Start/Pause button for three seconds and also by unplugging it as Whirlpool instructed me over the phone. THIS IS A DEFECT! Just know that if you ever do laundry and your electricity happens to go out, the lid can only be opened by a service tech. Whirlpool said they'd cover it this one time only. I would NEVER buy this washer again. It's just two years old and this is the second time it's happened.
Mine is open but continue to say lid lock while the lock is clicking
I’ve got the one like this but it has the agitator. Mine was doing something similar to this but it wouldn’t go pass the wash cycle. My dad came and took the little tiny screen out from the bottom and it started working again but started doing the same thing over again. He then turned around and took the seals out of the inlet valve and it worked perfect ever since 🤷🏻♀️.
WE SHOULDNT HAVE TO DO ANYTHING!!! THATS WHY WE BUY NEW ONES !!! AND THE SELLERS SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THAT IF NEEDED.
I unplugged mines & adjusted the cycle ..: back on track... had mines less than 6 months..!!💯
What cycle do you use?
in the owners manual there is a section to put the machine into test mode. it tests all the cycles and if all is working you can then reset the machine back to factory settings.
How do you reset to factory
I had this washer for about a year now and ours had no issues with ours it was working good and smooth
How do you use it??? I have one and I have no clue how to use it?!?!? Please help
iiGem_YT Roblox mine works fine. The only problem I am having is the wash cycle takes a long time. More than an hour.
@@annaangol1748 Where do u load ur washing detergent and bleach? I have the same washer
If you move the tub empty to the rear by hand and look down between the tube and cabinet you should see Manuals stuck to the inside left front !
@@BiggSneaddd i need to know where it goes did u ever find out❗️❗️
Just junked my GE high efficiency washer 3 yrs old still like brand new stopped spinning had no warranty. Just got this washer. I hope it’s good. Purchased 5 yr warranty just in case. 🤞🏻🙏
I did the same as you but purchased 3yr @ Lowe’s. My dad has the same washer now for 5yrs never had an issues God Willing it works well for both of us.
I have the same model and have had for over 8 years. They are highly sensitive. We have a large family and have washed over 8000 loads. I did have a problem with it recently but was able to recalibrate the machine and it's running fine..good luck with yours...
yea its a known brand, Im Sure it was just a small percentage of units that are bad
Had mine for a week now. The matching set and I love them.👍
I have some few years now ... no problem that sux you are having that problem I hope you get that works like mine you would be much happier man
OMG! I just bought the same machine and when I put it on wash cycle it sprays a little bit of water and it starts washing with 2 inches of water I had to take a bucket and fill the machine to wash my clothes. I like whirlpool BUT this machine is garbage. Good job to get rid of it. Thank you for posting this very informative.
Amanda Smith I keep mine on bulk setting that’s the only way I get a lot of water
I'm not having that problem. The problem I'm seeing is my clothing is not coming out too clean..
@@rubykisses80 I'm still seeing Detergent residue on my clothing after a complete washing. & it also made my White clothing look brownish/ dirty!!! Have you had that problem?
Literally having the same issue now
I'm having the same issue, it starts to fill and then starts washing with minimal water! Super frustrating! Any ideas on what to do?
I’ve had mine for months, still learning how to use it
SAME!!! HOW THE FUCK DO I USE THIS!!!
I have same washer, that noise is the pump tying to pump out the water in tub, maybe it has a problem with pump impeller, or a clogged hose.
I have the same one all I do is push the button hold it until the washer machine locks and then I leave and a wash well and I’ve been had it for five years now with no problems
I had that problem and figured out you have to have your hose higher up lifted towards the ceiling and then an extension toward ground (not to drain down towards ground from washer ) like you would think.
Ok I'ma try it! Because this shit driving me nuts!
Read your manual. It is not installed properly.
Does the grey part where the buttons are at come with a clear protective sticker you have to peel off I’m not sure if mine does
I just had this machine delivered yesterday and I'm having the exact same issues! I've had other whirlpool washers and have not had any problems. Very frustrating!!
yes so instead of replacing it, I just got a samsung model thats close to it.
Had the whirlpool picked up yesterday and got a maytag delivered. Looks almost identical but has an agitator and works great!
i just got this machine delivered! Werhe do i put the softener? i am totally confuse!
@@angelodelrio9357 I'm trying to figure that out too
yes me either...Older whirlpool where great. But this model is awful
Just got it delivered Friday, washed a few loads of regular clothes, but have to wash sheet sets separately, it cant handle it, won't move passed wash light.....very frustrating. I baby sat a washer for the last 6 years and it finally just gave out and I broke down and got this....very disappointed right now, I could have done your video same same experience!
This is the Washer from Hell! Rather than cleaning my clothes it's staining them!..
OMG!!! I've had mine now for about 8 months and it's doing the same thing your describing. The only thing with mine is when I put it on a normal wash the water will go in and sensing for about a couple of minutes. Then it'll take a while before it actually goes into the wash cycle. Then before it goes into the rinse cycle you hear all of these different noises clicking around inside there. Who knows what it's doing but it actually takes a while for it to rinse the water. Mind you you're waiting at least 7 minutes between cycles. Then it starts to make these knocking noises that are loud some of the water will drain then if it feels like it it'll start spinning. I'm very frustrated and disappointed in this Whirlpool Washer. Back in the day good old Maytag was the bomb would last for years. People who know about washing machine said that nowadays they're only making them to last a few years.
Signed,
Frustrated and Disappointed
Did u find out what was causing the clicking and knocking sounds??? It drives me crazy.
It's an Awful, Unintuitive machine.
True-- Way too long between cycles.
Can't do anything Manually, must rely on the shaaty Sensors.
I have the same problem man just got it yesterday!
I just got it today, I’m trying to do my first load and this piece of shit just stay at sensing light and do nothing for 22 minutes. After trying to do a load for the 4th time finally the light switched to wash and started to wash. I hope it finish the load like it Suppose to.
Omg I wish I saw this video before I bought this washer. It is a piece of junk I just got it and it does the same thing. Ugh, old washers did work sooooo much better. I’m calling Lowe’s where I bought it. They need to take this washer back!
Good luck.. ours is 3 months old cant give it away. Bought a style washer.. Every thing perfect.
My .02 it's not as bad as some are making it out to be. I'm doing a cleaning servicing for the first time on mine and I have had it for 5 years so far. I purchased mine used off of either craigslist or facebook mp, I can't remember which. The machine does take getting used to if your used to something else and it seems that's a large part of the problem.
One of two things is going on with this washer..The water is obviously not draining from the tub so.. there is a small item of clothing(i.e. a baby's sock) that has somehow jumped from the inner tub to the outer tub during the wash cycle and is now either blocking the drain hole of the other tub or has worked it's way down to the pump's inlet port..Also a big problem with these machines is if you are using well water and if you are getting much sand or slit in your water, that slit will eventually clog the inlet screen in the water supply valve (that's at the hose connection in the back of the washer)
I just bought this yesterday and I’m having the same problem! I’m returning this bull shit !!!
I've had this machine for about 8.5 years now and it works fine no matter what settings I used. Your's may be defective.
Wow im so sad to hear all the issues. I just had to say goodbye to my LG Tromm front loader i had it for 16 year's. I absolutely loved it. I did do one repair of a waterpump. But the circuit borard never failed me.and it was fast and cleaned great. Unfortunately due ro covid i hadn't to $ to replace with another front loader and things have chanfed so i went with this model you're speeking of and it seems like its gonna be a nightmare. I got it for a good price but its confusing as hell. Why does it seem to not fill full enough? Why does everyone nwed to recalibrate? And how long does a load take to wash? Seems super long to do a load. :(. Thanks for sharing you're video .
I'm no pro, but I think you need the clothes in it to work. It has to sense how much water to add. Mine is flawless so far...these are much different then the ones from the day.
I had clothes in it
Lolololol
I bought a house that came with this washer or very similar. I think the boards are bad on these. Sometimes my on/off button doesnt work and the board needs to be cleared by unplugging and then plugging the washer back in. It then works fine. The locked light should be coming on. The sensing may be because there are no clothes in the washer? Anyway I know this is dated but unplugging and re-plugging in works for our version of this washer.
I have the same washer the control panel is black tho, it’s not spinning,it’s making the electrical buzz sound but the drum is not spinning ! Last night I washed a load and today I checked it again and it’s left chunks of soap on my clothes.
Check the hose. Make sure there's enough pressure from the machine to the hose outlet.
Whats screwed up i work on a roper line that makes parts for whirlpool but just hinges..
I’ve had this same washer for going on 3 years with no issue.
Dev L Me too.
@@ooohsorandom2869 mmn
I'm on year 4 and am currently going through this exact problem! I've ripped it apart every which way and haven't found a problem. Just won't spin and drain.
This washer is crap, I’m on my third one
@@cinceregaulden9826 so after 2 you bought another one? 😭💀💀💀😭
I've had it bout 3 months ni and it seems to get stuck on wash but won't move
I was just having a drain problem last night I woke up turned the middle knobbed to normal & held the start/pause button for like 10 seconds and the washer automatically started draining the water out once I got the water on I turned it to the drain & spin cycle and everything was working just fine! Not sure if this will for anyone but it worked for me
Thanks, it worked for me.
How do you add the softener? With out a dispenser?
Got one exactly like that lasted about 4 years just gave me problems with open door censor trying to fix it now, I believe it needs a new door censor for door lock but the honest truth they don’t make them like before! Too much digital crap manual washers are the best 100%
Sorry to hear about your washer bro!
Did you show us if there is water coming out of the discharge hose at all ? Did you check for kinks ?
Did the installer remove the red rubber cap over the hard plastic discharge outlet located on the lower back of the machine, the one that the black discharge hose gets fastened too, or did he somehow forget & install the hose over the cap ??
Cause it sounds normal to me....the water turning on after a interruption (ie lifting the lid) during a cycle is normal...
Just got this washer trying to figure out what's going on washing clothes seems like such a struggle
im been waiting for the longest just for the water to fill up it was like 2 inches 🤦🏻♀️
I'm just trying to figure out how to get it too wash mine Is brand new 🥺 I can figure out how to make it do all cycles
I have the same problem right now and I totally understand!! I’m more than pissed
Same situation first day going to exchange it as well.
My brother installed and programmed mines. I bought at the end of 2019. Been like a year and a half. Never had a problem with mines.
It mite b the safety lock on the lid??
You need to check your drain pump there is something blocking the pump from draining. It will not go in to spin if the water is still there.
That’s the same problem I had something was stuck in the drain pump and I cleared it and then it worked
I'm having the same issues since day 1
Does this washer have a filter that needs to be cleaned?
Everyone that's having trouble with starting their washer you're gon need to recalibrate it
It sounds like the drain pump is jammed
I have this washer it works very well my problem is that I dont know when I can apply liquid softner .
Do you know why the washer doesn't want tp fill up with water?
Just bought this washer on 4th of July and just finally washed 30 loads so I did my first clean washer cycle and all the lights turned off and the drain pump keeps running with no water. After 20 minutes we unplugged. Have to call for service tomorrow. Very disappointing!
That's exactly what mine is doing, draining and no lights. If anyone can help me leave me a message.
The locked light is not lit up which is indicating that the lid is not locking during the cycle you selected. You can check there first to troubleshoot your issues.
Wish I watched videos on this washer before I got it today....I hate it....Returning it within the next 30 mins.
Returned mine, same day I purchased it!!! Brought a General electric one with an agitator. Much better. Still wish they made the old timey ones. Had my old one four 8 yrs..
8 years isn't that old for a washer....
Just bought one for 100 , seening alot of people hate on it, I'll be back in a week or before to let you know what's really up.
yea ive seen more complaints than expected.
The same goes on with mine .. and if you call up the plant they don't give a s.
What happened to washing machines that sprayed water on the spin cycle?
Did you remember to take the plug out of the drain pipe before attaching the drain hose 🤷 just wondering
We almost missed taking ours out
Feel your frustration, have the same pile of cramps.
It keeps flashing green on spin how do I start a new load?
i have this same issue, 2 mounths old, just did calibration. we'll see, if not home depot will get it back
before calibration unplug power for 1 min

I have this one and I didn’t like it since day one. These new washing machines nowadays are “energy efficient” as what they say but don’t really clean clothes properly. I stood by it during wash to observe how “each” cycle works, from start to end. My solution to it: I asked my husband to install an extra hose so I can just put right amount of water.
I have the same set and I too have disliked the washer from day one. It does not clean clothes well.
I do not like it either.
I only use heavy duty cause it doesn’t wash clothes properly.
1 month after my 1 year warranty ran out and I had same sort of problem. Mine drains but will not lock & spin.
My parents had Kenmore washer and dryer for 35+ years..i think dad changed a belt once..i have a whirlpool now..now the lid lock broken
Have you check if the drain pump is blocked
After a load this morning was completed, I went to open the door and it was locked, also no lights were lit up. It has no power. After a few attempts I finally opened the door. There’s still no power, no sensor lights light up. Checked my outlet and there’s power. So frustrating.
Omg my too 😱😱😱😱
Mine won’t turn on. Did you find out what was wrong with yours?
Me too I need help. Email me too I have the same problem.
I had this happened a while back ago chances are you need to clean the washer I went out and bought a washing machine cleaner read the instructions it's important but for the time being did you try holding in the start button to cancel everything. It took me a few attempts doing this but it finally started working again
We just got this washer today, it works perfectly fine. If you open the lid it thinks you've added clothes so it adds water to compensate. It senses for a while while it fills up then it begins moving the water and clothes around while it senses then it switches to washing and so on. It pauses between "sessions" during the cycle.
I have mine 3 years now but it’s making lot of noise now what could be the problem when spinning out it’s making a horrible sound
Agitator models work best especially in the long run. Our non-agitator twisted the sheets and tossed them to one side of the drum which made the machined lopsided and tumbled it almost 360 turn, which of course ruined the machine.
No Name exactly 🤦🏻♀️
Bad engineering
I just washed sheets in mine and no twisting. And the same for the comforter I just washed the other day. I am new to this machine and hopefully it will continue to work as it is supposed too. If not, I will go back the agitator type.
mine is about 3 yrs old....turned mine on last night and it sounds like a dying cow moaning. I stopped it, did drain and spin....tried it again on a different cycle..sounded worse....tried the drain and spin again and i thought it was going to explode.... i have a household size of 9...i need my washer...any suggestions????
I just got mine today and hasn’t been working. I had to change it to each setting and it never washed
We had the same issue. We had a appliance guy come check it out and he couldn't figure it out either. We ended up throwing the washing machine away the dryer works amazing tho
You unplug the washer for 10 minutes, then grab the tub by the inner lip on each side and pull up, you will hear a click. Then it will work again.
My washer is doing the exact same thing 8/20/18. But my lights don't come up at all, I bought mine at Best Buy's too, but mine is at 1 year 3 months old
hello my washing machine hits a lot when spinning, What should I do, it no longer has a guarantee and I can't buy another one.I have to repair it myself.
Thanks a lot
Sounds like the coupler in the motor. I could be wrong but that is what it was with mine.
Candy Baker this machine doesn’t have a drive coupler
@@josephfolsom2030 oh, okay well shit . Guess its not since it doesn't have one. 🤣🤣 Well how ironic .... I had made this comment as I was fixing mine. Unfortunately mine was also leaking oil from the motor. By the time I was done paying for the parts it was just easier to buy a new one. But now looking back at the washer you are showing that's exactly what I just bought. Great this would be my luck you are right I don't like this washer. I want my old one back. I'm not having any problems with mine yet. My dog 🐕 does bark at it with all the horrible sounds it makes as it washing. So I don't think I have any problems yet. But its bad if my dog doesn't like the sounds it makes while washing! Lol 🤣🤣🤣
I have the same washer and no problems at all to now. I hope never get a problem with it. I hope you can fix it.
I just fixed this!!! that humming noise is the drain pump trying to work! Watch a youtube video on whirlpool drain pumps. First take the drain hose off, and all the water will drain out, then tip the washer on its side and take the hose off the drain pump. There will be a little check valve on the drain pump that you need to pull open, and then poke in with your finger or even one of those plastic drain snakes! Then make sure there is nothing jamming that drain pump impeller. In my case it was a little finish nail that was in a pocket of some jeans. Removed the lint and finish nail and presto! BACK IN BUSINESS!
I have the same problem you have with your washer. And I'm sure it is the sensor that needs to be replaced. I brought my top loader brand new and it's a headache.
Mine works fine had it for a year. Only thing I hate is there’s no dispenser for fabric softener and it stays locked durning the whole wash , so I can’t ever open it during rinse cycle to just pour it in.
So what was the outcome?
Could it be the belt?, lock switch?,
We got one 2 weeks ago and For some reason the soap stays on the clothes smh seems like it dmt rinse completely...my mother in law hates it
I have one right now and it won't always fill up with water when I have it set at deep wash cycle.
Its not supposed to "Fill Up" like a traditional machine....hence the "he" branding.
What model is that unit
Help. My Whirlpool stops at rinse. Changed the lock and the synchronous switch. Still have the problem.
I have this exact washer and i had to have it repaired four times before it started working properly. Fucking junk. But it was a wedding present so trying to work with what i got and be grateful.
The same thing is happening to me. Only a one year old. What was the problem
Does anyone know what the belt size is for this washer..
Mine seems to be having computer problems since our last power outage. Now today, the drum won't spin. No more whirlpool or ABC warehouse for me. Total junk!
This damn washer is fricken nerve wracking smfh
is this a wtw5000dw?
How did you fix it
Is this washer suppose to lock when you push the button? The door does not lock close. All my kids have this machine and they say it locks close. So upset. Two machines and this is rediculous.
is this harpo marx showing the washer
