How to Use Troubleshooting Mode on a Whirlpool, Maytag or Amana Washer AND Understand the Codes!

[@bensappliancesandjunk]

Just a note guys, this was one of the first videos I did on my channel. KZbin won't let you update a video as much as I'd like, so I did another video for a Maytag Washer, but the codes and such are almost exactly like this, but more extensive as I've gotten a little better at doing videos. Link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZLSnJJ_dp2SqZo

[@FixItYerself]

Thanks for the update!

[@b.3713]

Very informative, thank you. I got the code F1-E0, not sure what that is, do you know? This is only the 2nd time I've used this washing machine brand new and am having issues. Won't go into rinse cycle and clicks a bunch(lock does work it does lock) wash light flashes and nothing happens

[@bensappliancesandjunk]

@@b.3713 I looked real quick online and the only thing I can come up with is that the machine needs unplugged for 15 minutes then put back in period if that doesn't solve it, I would suggest are running a recalibration on the machine to see what it does

[@b.3713]

@@bensappliancesandjunk Thanks for the quick response. Hmm, I have done that. I'm doing a cycle right now to see what happens. I did the test where's it runs and checks all the parts and all the lights flashed green, I assume that is good?. How to recalibrate? Wash cycle completed again and its clicking not going into rinse cycle. Wash light now flashing.

[@erinstreeter6774]

My fault/error code is perplexing. It just has all the lights lit and they flash like this; 2 quick flashes and then no li&hts for about the same amount of time and then repeats. HELP

[@gumpymcbarfbag3884]

What a perfect video, followed your instructions, got a code that meant the main board had a problem, wiggled connectors on board, recheck for faults, none! Wife very happy! YOU ARE THE MAN!!!

[@victoriaberg2070]

Great Video! Before you do ANY of this though, do a "hard reset" by (1) unplugging the washing machine for >1 minute (2) plug in then rapidly open/close the lid 6 times within 12 seconds. My washing machine didn't even have the lights come on and this was the magical solution.

[@penelopeghiruto3957]

Hi Victoria, I have an Amana washer that wouldn’t change settings like from normal to delicate when I spun the knob and I just tried your recommendation and it worked! Thanks!

[@jamesbarnes1913]

My Whirlpool had a sensing light flashing. You raise the light up and down six times realfast. Then lay about a six pound weight on the corner of the lid where the lock switch is. That stops the vibration to the lock switch. fixed mine. apparently the lid vibrates and cretes a signl to the lock switch.

[@cpitchford0821]

Please listen to him it really works. I am jumping up and down!! It work on the first try but on the third try it did work. The man knows what he is saying!!!!

[@rockyprogress]

This video saved me, from buying my mother a new washer. Thanks so much. Recent winter storm, her pipes burst - shorted the logic board and filled the tub with water. Getting into diagnostic mode and seeing the codes helped me realize, that there was too much water in the wash basin and after removing 3 pitchers of water, the washer started emptying the rest. It now working again.

[@margaretmixon9812]

Agreed 💕 👍🏽 💕 Thank you Ben

[@JohnnySplattWadd]

I watched 2 videos prior to yours and was unsuccessful after repeated attempts with my Amana. When I viewed your video it was explicit in how to turn the dial counter clockwise stopping on each click until stopping at the 12 o'clock position before moving on to the other clicks. I got it on the first try. DO NOT turn the dial quickly as instructed in other videos. Thank you young Ben!! 😀😀😀

[@1framistan]

HERE'S HOW TO CALIBRATE the Amana after you replace the shock absorbers or other major parts: Go to diagnostic mode as described in this fellows video. All the LED's will be lit. FIRST make sure there is no clothes or water in the basket. Then all you do is ROTATE the control knob until the MIDDLE led is lit . You will have 2 leds NOT-LIT to the left and 2 NOT-LIT on the right. (ignore the RED LED). Now it is in CALIBRATION mode!! all you have to do to ACTIVATE CALIBRATION mode is press the START button. Then the machine will go through some 2 minutes of clicking and spinning the motor. Just be patient and wait for it to do its thing. Then it finally clicks and ALL THE LED's are OFF. That means it is done with CALIBRATION. wash some clothes and see if it is fixed. Mine is fixed but ONLY replacing the shock absorbers DID NOT FIX IT. It must be calibrated any time you replace a major part like that. I found my REPAIR MANUAL book inside the washer on the FRONT panel. Only had to remove the TOP PANEL to get the repair manual.

I just want to know what happens if you don’t recalibrate

[@spicky2966]

[@leahrodriquez1349]

I know your comment is a yr old, but hoping to find some info! Whirlpool washer wouldn't drain so I figured out it was the pump ordered had someone take off old one but they couldn't come out new one on as soon as I needed do we called a man that has been working on them yrs and yrs. Well he charged $100.00 and yes it will pump water out but it is making a click somewhat on verge of a grind sound not for long but just while it's switching from after washing to start rinse spin. But it sounds like it's spinning and still swishing like a wash cycle at same time. I have reset it.

[@klharndt]

Thanks so much for this guide to reading the error codes--SO helpful! From a comment on another video, I learned this valuable bit of info. Mine was right where the commenter said it would be. Before your video, I'd been running diagnostics but couldn't figure out how to read the error codes! "I found that the service manual is included in the washer casing. When in front of the unit, open lid, look into tub (back at yourself) and in the now upper right corner is the service booklet in a plastic bag stuck to the front of the inside of unit. It goes through all of the codes and steps to test the unit."

[@partyanimalrenato]

Hi!!!! This was a GREAT video!! Bookmarked the page for future reference! I'm trying to repair my Mom's Amana NTW4650YQ0 top load washer and the control board was burnt so I bought another board with the same part number off of eBay labelled as a Whirlpool control board. I know that a variety of brands will carry the same type of control board so I was pretty confident as the part number was the same. I installed the new board, plugged in, set the machine to a small load and the machine filled fine then the lid locked and it went into wash mode. So far so good, right? Cycled out of wash mode and went in to rinse mode and then all lights went off so I took the hose off and drained all the water to try again. I tried entering diagnostics based on other KZbin videos but your detailed video really did the trick and I finally succeeded. I tried manual diagnostics and the machine entered all the cycles and I could hear the drum spinning so the rinse/spin seems to be working fine but I don't know why it's not rinsing during regular use. I also ran the diagnostics and only the "fill" LED flashed so I'm assuming everything is fine. What else can I try?

Went back one click left, pushed start, all lights light and blink and just stay blinking. One click right and only the sensing fill button lights. I did not hit start again. This is an Amana belt drive machine. If I put the machine in "Clean Washer with Affresh" mode it goes through all the cycles with no problem. This makes me doubt it is a mechanical problem?

Good video for explaining how to read error codes!!!! Just wished you would've explained that on some washing machines that wash could actually be the #8 then it would go 4 2 1 and lid lock would act as your #0!!!! I bought a $30 water inlet valve because I read it as an f3 e2 when in fact it was an f7 e5 my actuator.Other than that good informative video.

[@bensappliancesandjunk]

I've done updated videos on this. Sadly, KZbin hates the idea of editing videos, otherwise I'd of added more content to it. The problem is that older versions of these washers (like the one in the vid) add the #8 in there, while older ones only went up to 4. I made this video before that was a frequent thing with these style washers.

[@josephdixon81]

This should be the top comment. The key values can’t form the last 3 codes on the list, so they’re not a matching set. Just buy a new washing machine. The part you need probably costs half a washing machine anyways

- UPDATE: After emptying my washer halfway, which was stuck with a full tub and did nothing, I finally got the lights to blink. Here's what I did: - After doing the counterclockwise full rotation reset on the cycle knob and THEN DOING THE FOLLOWING PATTERN, I GOT THE LIGHTS TO BLINK & DO WHAT HE SAYS. - *Amana: (in the manual): R3×, L1, R1 - But after that I'm stuck because everytime I turn the knob one click I get a different error code set, so that could be like 12 or more. What am I supposed to do with all these codes?!

[@LiLac22281]

My Amana did the same thing your machine did in this video: only blinking "sensing fill." I know something is wrong though because it will spin but won't agitate; I changed the agitator dogs. So, after doing the recalibration, are you supposed to run a full cycle before trying to do the diagnostic??

[@Some_One_One]

- 6:18 How EXACTLY do you, "go thru" all the codes? Do we wait, do we press buttons, do we turn knobs, which knobs do we turn, how many times do we turn which knobs? Is there a separate error code set for each & every turn of the main dial? Do we have to write down each error code and record exactly where the dial was and associate it with that exact location of the direction of the dial knob? - Once we get error codes, then what are we supposed to do?!

I have no hot water have gone through to make sure it is not plugged either hose or filter and yes hot water is turned on. When hot water is selected no water enters drum cold water works perfectly.

Hi, I have an Amana washer and I did the diagnostic like you showed. The only light that keeps flashing after I press is the sensing fill. Do you have idea what it is? I am having problems with the sensing fill mode, it does not stop until the washer is full.

[@bensappliancesandjunk]

Is the only light its showing in the actual error code lookup is sensing fill, nothing else - or is it that when you try to start a cycle, all it does is flash sensing fill and nothing else?

Bens Appliances and Junk is the actual error code .. that’s the only light that blinks.

[@MariaMoreno-iy6nm]

Nothing else blinks

[@bensappliancesandjunk]

@@MariaMoreno-iy6nm GENERALLY that means it cannot detect any fail codes. If you cycle through the next one or two codes and get the same info, there may not be any major codes stored in it. Having said that, the sensing fill light flashing when the machine is running, and not doing anything else 'til its filled - it may be a pressure hose/switch problem on detecting proper fill volumes which typically doesn't have a code to it. I would suggest re-calibrating the machine, and make sure that clear plastic pressure hose isn't damaged.

[@MariaMoreno-iy6nm]

Bens Appliances and Junk thank you so much for replying back and for sharing your video. We think is a major problem with the transmission because the agitator does not spin when is put to wash. And we also found oil leak at the bottom of the washer 😥

Hi, I just released a video involving a maytag washer - uses the same system to check/test the various diagnostic modes, including testing the Shift Actuator.

I hate to comment because I found this video somewhat useful, but I'd like to clarify the issue of the lights and codes. The lights indicate the equivalent BINARY NUMBERS of the code; you do not add them together - you translate them. Search "binary numbers" for how to read a binary number. The leftmost light does indicate subsystem and component (F & E codes). Also, Whirlpool tapes a printed service guide inside the washer casing. This guide has the codes and other service guides. Don't let a repair person take it from the machine's owner.

Could be a cracked tub.

You are awesome and this was a great video, thank you!!!

[@susanmillerwilson1925]

I have a Kenmore with the lights display. However, my light that shows Fill in your video has Sensor instead. Will the code for that light still be F?

[@mark-wn5ek]

Never have I heard them called Uh monnas. Perhaps I lived a sheltered life. Great video, hope I can figure out why mine is stuck, humming, full of water.

[@bensappliancesandjunk]

If its humming and water isn't draining, likely the pump

[@richieandannieh.3151]

Same thing happening here

[@KushWick]

Thanks this was great. I still can't get mine to fill with water but the test went flawless

[@KAYLA-yj8yp]

Mine filling but not watching

[@KAYLA-yj8yp]

Thank you so much I fixed my machine because of u 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 God bless

Ben my Kenmore 500 series I did the diagnostic test exactly like you showed and mine only came out with 1 light at the end, the sensory light lit up, what could that be? I'm so confused

[@brittneysanchez6026]

thank you. i have a maytag and this worked to reset it

[@Lalacas3873]

I got F3 and E3 what’s does that mean if I look at them separately I have 2 Different error Codes because you don’t list F3E3 ? Why does it mean?

[@natalievinson4720]

Hi thanks for the video it shows on my amana the fill and wash blink and then the complete blinked. So that is F4..0? I don’t see that on your list. Any ideas?

[@bensappliancesandjunk]

Yes, Fill/Wash should be F4. However, Whirlpool/Amana may have changed the codes slightly on the newest machines with an additional set of numbers and codes. Some machines don't start at #4 at wash, but rather #8 (then 4, 2,1, ect). If that were the case on your machine, it could be F8/E0 which would be low water volume to the machine (clogged supply lines / bad valve / ect)

[@iamgamez]

Same..i have the same machine from tve Video and light Fill=F and wash=4 plus cycle complete light= E0...

[@sulypalacio7106]

I got F2 E0, BUT I don't know what that means, any suggestions?

[@melaniehenggeler3779]

Teresa Rodriguez I’m getting this same code did you figure out how to fix yours?

[@poncinena]

I’m getting the same code on my Amana. Sensing Fill and Wash are blinking and then Cycle Complete blinks. (F4-E0..? Which is not on the list in the video. The machine is at least 5 years old so I’m not sure if the codes are the same.) I just put in a load in the morning and it was working fine. All I have been able to get it to do is drain/spin and that was after a few tries it finally worked twice. When I start a normal cycle it just starts to slowly spin back and forth, like it does when it’s filling or washing, but no water comes out. After a few minutes it starts to drain…air because there’s no water lol. Has anyone had this problem and figured it out? I wish I could fix it myself!! I don’t know if to call a repairman or just get a new one.

[@johnmitchell2741]

HOW Stupid it's like trying to diagnose a BMW .I can see the repair technician coming to your house takes one look at the washer and tells you the motherboard is bad BUT THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS

[@raphealatiyeh24]

Hey there , sorry for the trouble. So I tried the pattern you suggested to enter diagnostic mode but no led lights pops up. Would it the board be bad or the lock is bad?

[@Some_One_One]

My Amana did the same. Nothing lights up when doing these sequences.

[@stevenwest8747]

how do you get an 8 or 9 error code if the numbers you have to total are 4 , 2 , 1 and 0 ?

[@michaelberhe7951]

You’re the best bro thank you for taking the time to explain it

[@franzantoni9480]

Thank you for educating me
