Fixing A Whirlpool/Kenmore/Amana Washer That Is Stuck On The Rinse Cycle!

How to fix an older style Whirlpool/Kenmore/Amana/Maytag washing machine that is stuck on the rinse cycle. This video covers the two main reasons why your machine might be stuck on rinse! This video is part of my series "Free On Facebook" which is a collection of videos in which I show you how to repair, recycle, and repurpose things I find for free.

You can sometimes clean the old ones up. Use some CLR type cleaner and just a LITTLE acetone (too much acetone can melt the plastic) mixed with white vinegar.. it’s always worth a shot, especially if money is tight.

So a washing won’t raise without a cold line installed?

[@Visuckhoe100]

I'm lazy, I just switch to cold tap water and then it keeps working perfect. Thank you for information.

Can you show everyone how to put a non computer style whirlpool direct drive washer into test mode?

[@christianpatriot7196]

Mine was rinsing fine with the hot water now it will fill up but stops at the rent cycle Yes, it agitates through the wash, but when it’s finished, agitating it stops and does not progress from there

[@rickeykeeton4770]

I have one that agitates and rinsed fine but skips Spin and the pump keeps pumping all the way to Off. Timer? Motor? Transmission? My dumbass just went and out it on Rinse and it just started pumping. I think that tells me the motor/transmission is reversing so the transmission must be bad. I have a neutral drain kit I bought to do out in two washers that I thought were spinning and draining at the same time. I thought this was one of them. Still not sure it wasn’t and the transmission needs rebuilding. That is my next move. If nothing else I will have a rebuilt transmission for one down the road.

I have that same washing machine it wont do anything no water no rinse no nothing , what could it be ?

[@traciecolozzi4920]

My washing machine gets stuck on every cycle, I have to manually move it on from beginning to end. I did turn the water cycle to cold and the water is coming out…What can I do to repair that?

[@DuctTapeMechanic]

If it is getting stuck at the "rinse" of every cycle, then most likely, the cold water valve is clogged/failed. If it just gets stuck randomly, then you have a bad timer

[@shantiaford-williams2597]

Mine isn't agitating and its skipping the wash cycle

[@rubyhayley3118]

Mine won't rinse its a whirlpool

[@DuctTapeMechanic]

Either it's the cold water valve that is bad or the timer. Does it rinse in other modes? If it does, then there is an issue with the timer. If it does not rinse in any of the settings, then it is most likely the water valves (easy and cheap fix)

How do I get the water out of tub to be able to move mchine

[@PabloHernandez-qc1ox]

shop vac

[@CarryonBettis]

Is not. A kenmore

[@Stuwpid_Monkey]

My washer is having the same issue but when I put it on cold it just fills with warm water and continues the load and still gets stuck on rinse

[@DuctTapeMechanic]

That sounds like an issue with the cold water valve. Replace the valves!
