YOU ARE A LIFESAVER!!!! SINGLE MOM HERE, AND WAS ABLE TO FIX THIS BY MYSELF!!!!!

[@DIYRepairsNow]

I am glad that my video was helpful to you thanks for watching👍🏻👍🏻💯💯

[@pjrago9059]

Thank you for this outstanding detailed video. My husband and I watched the video and were able to fix it with a $60 part. My husband was ready to go and buy a new washing machine until we found this video.

[@Terpfan007]

I was having similar problem except when I did the manual check as you showed I wasn't able to get each step to work the same. I took the actuator off and it had a floppy/loose arm and so I decided to replace it as you showed and sure enough it fixed it. Anyone who is concerned they might need to replace the drum hub instead of the actuator, just take the actuator off and replace it if it's got a loose arm. Thanks so much for your in depth review, it made replacing the actuator so easy. Washing machine back up and running for $60. Very thankful!!

[@danfalls3659]

My man...thanks! I watched a bunch of videos trying to nail down my issue, so many were showing "almost" what mine was doing, but yours showed EXACTLY what mine was doing-the basket and agitator were just clicking back and forth together. It had been quite a while since I had observed what should be happening-the basket moving slightly in one direction, and the agitator rotating aggressively and far in the other direction, so until I saw your calibration at the end, I had forgotten what that action was supposed to look like. Aha! moment. I ordered an actuator for $28, total repair time was under 10 min. Did the calibration, working like new. Thanks again!

I just purchased a Maytag top loader 6 months ago. My clothes from day 1 come out crusty and not clean. I changed wash cycles and even purchased washing jacks. My 3 year olds clothes come out dirty. I’m at a loss at this point. The washing machine in my old apartment which was coin operated and shared with 16 other unites worked better then my current owned washer

[@anniegetyourfun7020]

Same! My old Whirlpool cleaned my clothes better than this Maytag. I wish I had never bought it and just fixed my old Whirlpool instead. The fact that it doesn't fill up the basin with enough water is ruining my clothes and sheets AND not cleaning them! What a rip off.

Yeah, we have a Maytag bravos XL. It sucks to. I’m just wondering do they make an extension for the agitator so that way it will actually agitate the clothes that seems to be the problem. They made it large capacity but they should’ve left the agitator tall and wondering if you can use an old agitator on the newer appliance

Thank you for sharing and helping us. I absolutely hate this washer even though this is a somewhat easy fix I am on my third actuator, ridiculous. And my washers in a very tight spot to pull out and get underneath. Currently it spins and does everything else correctly but the agitator does not move it just barely clicks left to right.

I have the same washer machine, same model. After cycle spinning end, I don’t see the water, but clothes are wet. Do you think that I should replace the actuator?

[@CarolynWilson-Powell-uz4kj]

great video. I'm going to replace the actuator because it will not agitate during our wash but will spin. However during the tests, the washer would not spin in test mode at all, could it be something other than the actuator? Like I said it spins fine during a wash just not during a test mode, I attempted it 5 times to make sure it wasn't user error

[@Terpfan007]

I had the exact same problem. Replaced the actuator for $60 and trying a test load now

Thank you

[@sturgis6777]

This looks similar to the problem I'm having. Without using the test codes, I just turned it on with no clothes and the agitator spun really fast and the machine shut down. Could this be a symptom of the actuator also?

[@addie750]

Great video!!! Quick question: what is the best indicator that the actuator is the problem versus the wash hub? In your video when the agitator was not moving as it should, is exactly what my agitator looked like when the machine had only made it partially through a load. Tried canceling the load and I almost never was able to get the lid to unlock. Disassembled and pulled out the wash hub and yes the plastic splines on the hub do look a little worn, but I never heard them slipping out grinding. Reassembled for testing and the agitator seem to be functioning properly and I was unable to manually stop the agitator from turning. Thanks so much in advance, for your time!!!!!!

[@Hobbyscrapperaustralia]

Normally indication of hub nut worn out is that wash plate won't spin whilst agitating

[@addie750]

@@Hobbyscrapperaustralia I appreciate the reply, but my wife and I have since reverted back to a set of 2001 Whirlpools, of which we are exceedingly happy with. Still have the other set and am looking to get rid of them. Still having the same issues as before, but I have had the wash plate, completely disassembled and all was fine with it. Every indication was pointing towards a main board failure. These machines were manufactured in 2018. The stuff they make today is just pure garbage and not built to last. Let me reiterate, we love our new-to-us whirlpools! 😁👍🏻 Thanks again!

Is it normal for the washer to have just clothes sitting on top not even getting washed. Literally have pulled shirts out from cycle with scent boosters still on top completely dry. It seems the agitation is way too weak to do a load

[@DIYRepairsNow]

Is not normal when they do that you probably have a bad agitator or a bad actuator…

[@JuanPerez-sj8gg]

I just acquired a washer like this. And it seems to me that it's not agitating correctly. It doesn't seem to pull down clothing while agitating. Should drum move also?

I've tried a few different options of fixes, but I can't get mine to do the lights on the panel. It just stops mid-wash and I can't seem to reset it. Could it have blown a fuse perhaps?

[@konadayz426]

Is the arm on the actuator suppose to move freely like that on your video? Because the one i removed from mine doesn't move at all. Is my actuator motor frozen? Great video lots of information

[@mamag3531]

Is there any way to make the agitation stronger? While my agitator works as shown in the picture, the motion isn't strong enough to get anything that's actually dirty, clean. Between the fact that the water barely covers the clothes and the agitation is so weak (just kind of swishes the clothes back and forth) this washer is a real failure.

[@fburt100]

I watched some other videos about coins stuck under the wash plate stopping it from agitating. I thought it could be that, but taking the wash plate off is kicking my butt. I can't even get the bolt off. My machine is doing the same thing as the one in the video so I think I'll just try the actuator.

[@clydesmith9524]

This washer is junk. As an appliance service technician I work on them a lot. I have replaced many actuators and what people think is an overbalanced load is due to the very weak and cheap suspension system. I keep my van stocked with suspension kits, actuators and hub kits.

If you push down the clothing basket and reach above it towards the front of the washer you will feel a sealed pouch stuck to the front of the washing machine. It helps if you can get another person to push the tank down while you gain access into the sealed pouch. Once you have the tech notes out of the pouch you can look up on the page with manual tests to select which test you wish the machine to do.

when you took the old one off, you stated you felt something was off while you moved the shift lever arm? looked like it had alot of play, is it not supposed to move? im still not 100% that this is what is wrong with our washer. i took the old one off and the arm will NOT move at all. the problem i am having is that it agitate TOO FAST, like the pulse button on a blender which make the drum move as well....and it will not spin out the load.

0:48 how do you set up the washer to start the test mode?

[@DIYRepairsNow]

I believe you have to press star or play, but I have to be quick and less than three seconds

If you’re talking about the automatic test mode

If you’re talking about doing manual test mode after you get into the test mode just press play or star it should lock the door does the first test
