This is what I like is someone who explains even the little things. I didn't even know the manual was inside the washer, kind of silly place to have it. I had already downloaded it and now with this video I hope I can diagnose the problem and fix mine. I had already unscrewed the latch and noticed mine is spinning and starts fast then stops and the high agitator speed doesn't seem to be working. Not sure if it's the capacitor or something else. Sounds like the agitator at 1st also isn't in place or off if that makes sense and I checked the screw and it is in tight real tight and its hard to even unscrew so I can't check to see if spindle is worn if that's even the wording. Thanks again for the tutorial and wish we could nominate videos for awards because this and all of yours deserves one for content.

Using this video to diagnose the problem AND run the recalibration, I fixed my washer! THANK YOU! At first I thought it wasn't spinning. I came to KZbin and found you "washer not spinning" video. I went into the error codes and found a code that was not in the video. Then I found this video and it was the drain error. I ran the auto test, then the manual test, and the washer spun but did not drain. I found the part on Amazon for $25! It came next day, I installed it, ran the recalibration cycle, and IT WORKS! Thank you so much!

Wonderful video !!! Originally I got ripped off by the appliance repair guy from Sears who came over to check the washer . He ran a two minute self disagnoses and said it would cost over $600 for a new control board to repair so it wouldn't be worth fixing and gave me a 10% off coupon to buy a new one at Sears and charged me the $79 diagnoses fee . After watching a few of these videos I found out it was the actuator so I bought a new one for $25 and now the machine works perfect. Sears pulled a total rip off scam to get you to buy a new one. I complained to consumer affairs but they said it's legal to scam and cheat consumers and they really don't so anything down there but collect their government pay.

I had an appt scheduled for this Monday for a repairman. $95 trip charge, $25 per quarter hour labor, plus part. I was looking at roughly a $175 repair bill. Not anymore thanks to you. Much respect.

You do a Great job with this video! I was able to fix our washer with your shared Knowledge. The only problem I had was getting it out of the "calibration/demo mode" I ended up unplugging the washer and held the on/off button in for a minute, plugged it back in and it worked. With your code diagnostics and viewing a few other videos I was able to make a semi-educated guess at what the problem was. It did turn out to be the actuator. I had thought I received the wrong part through "Sears Parts Direct" and brought the new part to an appliance parts store because it didn't match the part on my washer. I was told the part had been replaced with the black plastic version even though they did not look similar. It was true, and the part I had received did fit and worked. Hope this may help others too.

These style machines have some EXTENSIVE features that let you basically test everything and know what's going on to fix them 90% of the time before you actually take a single component apart. Its a little bit.... Complex... To get down, but we deal with these machines at my used appliance shop so much, we just plug them in with electric anymore, and do a pre-screen diagnosis so we can figure out exactly what it needs before it moves down the line for refurbishment, because that 5min test can work out junk that could take a solid hour to figure out by just running the unit.
It was near the end of the video that you stated something I had never heard nor consider- after changing a part that effects the electrical system, recalibrate/reset the CB. Fantastic. Thank you.
@bensappliancesandjunk4 жыл бұрын
Its extremely overlooked. The computer board doesn't magically *know* what situation a new component is in. Was the shift actuator in agitate or spin prior to replacement? The lid lock? What wash cycle? So many small things that the system assumes is true/false and it won't be able to conjure the situation until you force the machine to reset.

I did a video similar to this back in January and its my #1 video so far. But it doesn't include all the extras between the manual/auto tests and recalibration... I figured that now, 9 months later, I've learned enough to do a better, more complete video on this, so I took another crack at it. There's still more I can do better at on this, but the views/watch time is better than the last one, so I'll take it. I did the video mainly because I really liked Sears' video on the Kenmore VMW, but it just has how to get it into diagnostic mode, nothing about what all options you have, or the error codes themselves.

Motor fault means the motor won't run properly. There are two main things it can be: 1) The motor is bad, or the electricity isn't getting to it. Check the connectors, and test the motor w/ a multimeter. 2) The capacitor that is underneath, near the motor is bad and its not jolting the motor w/ electricity when it needs to, to help it start. Look for physical defects (like something popped on the inside), and test w/ a multimeter. There can be other things, but we had #2 happen on a Motor Fault at my shop a week ago. Stumped my tech and I told him "Just check the cap real fast". 5 minutes later, the machine was running fine because we replaced the $20 capacitor.

@@demielizabeth18 The best code I could make out was a basket fault. I changed out the shift actuator and was able to wash 2 loads. Then it did it again. I ordered a new cam replacement. When I put it down to replace it I realized the belt has frayed and come off, was also very loose to begin with. So I ordered a belt. After testing the actuator with an ohm meter it reads good. Sigh May have only initially needed a belt. While I was at it I removed the wash plate and cleaned. Inspected the tension rods because I have the jet engine sound when spinning. No rocking and moving across the floor. Just LOUD. The new belt has produced a sporadic squeaky sound in addition to water underneath. I have been confident that the bearings were shot to begin with. When I initially texted a repair shop with my symptoms, they said they didnt think that was the issue and I would have to bring my washer to Them!

Thank you very informative. I saw my problem listed as you were going over the trouble codes, 'no fill or long fill'. Whether I wash a 1/2 dozen light dress shirts or a weeks worth of permanent press, it fills to same level, the max. Being on well water, not too bad, but if I was paying a city water bill I would need to address the issue immediately, so I haven't tried to resolve as of yet. Other than that, I think it is a good washer. It is not 'sensing correctly' on startup. Tare weight is off I assume, needs a reset back to zero if possible. Hopefully it's an easy fix. I've had the washer since 2011.
