Washer Calibration Mode Diagnostics, Kenmore, Whirlpool, Roper, Inglis, Amana, Maytag | Josh Cobb

In this video, I'll show you how to enter diagnostics on a Whirlpool, Amana, Inglis, or Roper washer. This can help identify a whole host of issues when paired with the service manual found within the cabinet of the washer or downloaded online. My current business ventures and products can be seen at my website here: www.thepocketwallets.com

[@soyboybrianfritz5835]

Did you replace anything in the unit or was yours just not working right?

[@joshcobb4100]

Sometimes people put new shift actuators in and the machine still won’t run correctly…that’s because there is a speed sensor on the new actuator that needs to be calibrated.

[@youngenuf]

​@@joshcobb4100I have a washer just like this one. Water level is very low (doesn't even cover the clothes). Would running the calibration mode fix this? Also, is the fill level switch built into the control board? Thanks!

[@marmalutechaser9411]

I did this with our 2 year old hardly used washer and it worked great. But now it’s messing up again. We had a tech out, who said it wouldn’t spin because there was rust in the drain filter. He cleaned it, it worked for 6 loads of laundry, now it’s doing it again. Do you believe well water is causing ours to wash, but not rinse or spin?

[@DrMcampbellDC]

My Kenmore washer stopped mid cycle. The rinse and spin light was on. I did this procedure and the sensing light came on. Then it started to fill. Hopefully it will finish the cycle and it’ll be good. Fingers crossed.

[@kimberlyreneeallday1974]

Same

[@juanalvarez8416]

My kids lock I replaced it and still keeps clicking like it wants to lock but doesn't. It will sense and wash but won't lock to go to the next cycle

[@Christine-il4zr]

What is the model number for this Kenmore washer? I am trying to find a users manual online and it has been daunting! I have this video saved, Well done!

[@kimberlyreneeallday1974]

Does it matter if clothes are already in the washer when doing this process?

[@matthewpatrick8938]

What happens when you do that and it just keeps blinking to the left all lights but they don’t all turn green at once like yours did

[@waterfirerock]

My washer goes through complete spin 10% of the time. It regularly stops when spinning about half way. Should it be calibrated? Kenmore 6 flashing lighs. 1:59

[@franklinjones9157]

I’ve had to stop my washer in the middle of a rinse spin cycle because of unbalance and it slamming the drum inside. Is it ok to just do a periodic reset even if nothing has been done to the washer at all? Thanks!

[@joshcobb4100]

Yes, but it won’t fix anything if the shocks are worn out.

[@johnnyrowlandsshootinshowa8360]

I added the new lid lock and lock relay. Will this method still be the same for that?

[@joshcobb4100]

Yes!

[@coraw2755]

I did this and it did a crazy squeak and everything turned off. I’ve been having problems with my washer not wanting to spin. What do you recommend? I already changed the water inlet valve and it’s still the same. Plz HELP.

[@joshcobb4100]

Sometimes the pulley can hollow out on the motor shaft…and just make a terrible noise while not spinning anything. Might check there.

[@user-kr8ty9fy4n]

The only thing difference between my model and yours is, where it says “ soil level “ on yours, it says “ water level “ on mine. it goes, from left to right, auto was second, auto, deep feel, and deep with second ones. Which setting should I put on? Thank you!!

[@joshcobb4100]

1st Deep fill is my preference.

[@robertmunguia250]

Tried it still not working.

[@Waqab]

Hello i need help,my washer filled with water but don't start to rinse it just like that about 30 minutes and the water drain..what should I do

[@joshcobb4100]

Sounds like a lid locking issue.

[@SuzanneRush-zx9fo]

Hello, Left my lid up too long Kenmore series 100....began draining and will not stop unless I unplug. Replug and the same thing. Also, the indicator lights are out. Any help?

[@joshcobb4100]

Hold the power button for 20 seconds.

[@ArthurNetteler]

My Kenmore W100 does as you show... Until pressing the "START". I get all the Green Lights, but NO "Lock" light. And it just sits, after 5-6 minutes, nothing has happened. And still no "Lock or Light". I changed the Shock Rods and Fittings, because of dancing around the floor. Was working fine until the Dancing... hehehe

[@joshcobb4100]

Sounds like your lock switch might be bad

[@aliasunknown6972]

How do you do that to an older kenmore machine with no start button and no led's?

[@kerrsydotes]

You cant

[@ainafetserojas4059]

My washing machine is the one in the image and I turn it on, it pulls well, it just fills up and washes for about 1 minute, it pours the water and makes noise and the lights don't turn on anymore

[@dean-543]

Shift actuator.

[@lexf.9128]

Thanks!

[@joshcobb4100]

THANK YOU!!

[@chaquitaisley5674]

My mother has a Kenmore 100 and the spin light keeps blinking after a wash and not blinking complete any help on how to fix it?

[@joshcobb4100]

You would have to run the service diagnostics mode and check the codes to find out.

[@Nsal08]

So question when I do that, Al my lights light up I turn to rinse then my lid won’t lock and all my lights turn off. What else could it be?

[@joshcobb4100]

Hard to say without seeing it…

[@terrikoch3856]

I have this exact washer and no matter what size load I put in the machine will only fill 1/3 full? I have new hoses on it, and the water valves are turned on all the way. I ran the diagnostic from this video on it and it worked exactly like it did for you in the video. Is there a part I can order so that I can fix this issue or am I going to have to call a repair man?

[@joshcobb4100]

[@Matt314159]

Check your manual, but on mine, which is the Amana version, the "normal" wash mode only does auto-sensing fill which only does about 1/3 of the tub or so. What if you change the dial to deep wash? These newer high efficiency washers don't fill the tub all the way like the old school washers did. it's usually just enough to cover the clothes.

[@crislopez2309]

I have this same exact model. The "rinse" light keeps flashing . Can you tell me what that means please??

[@joshcobb4100]

This means it's experiencing an error during the rinse cycle. It could be a number of things.

[@Ironman6919]

My just stays on wash after I did that does it mean I need to get a part

[@joshcobb4100]

If it's stopping you'll want to recheck the codes and see what code it's showing after calibration

[@ErikSherman12]

What’s happened if its stuck on sensing

[@coryb6810]

👍👍

[@francescaschot-iv4mr]

Hi quick question I got the washer to bring all the lights up then I turn the dial untill it only says rinse I press start and then the lights blink like it’s in loading mode but backwards from right to left then I hear a click (not the lid locking) and all the lights go off and nothing happens The lid lock was just replaced And idea what could be wrong?

[@joshcobb4100]

If you hear a click and it's not the lid lock, it's probably the shift actuator. If it's after that click that it errors out, might try replacing the actuator.

[@bruce7259]

Did you find a solution because I have this same issue ! Please help

[@francescaschot-iv4mr]

@@bruce7259 I have watched a bunch of KZbin videos and for my washer I’m not sure about the actuator there was a video that said something along the lines of the control board needing to be replaced but that it’s almost as expensive as getting a used washer so for now I have a toggle switch on the washer to make it work it’s a bit of a process but it works for now hope this helps

[@bruce7259]

@@francescaschot-iv4mr are you still using that same washing machine??

[@francescaschot-iv4mr]

@@bruce7259 yes

[@martingonsalez6635]

I did this calibration and I hear like grinding in my washer thru some of the cycles can you steer me in the right direction please I would appreciate it thanks

[@joshcobb4100]

Could be the pump grinding on a Bobby pin, or the shift actuator going bad. It’s a process of elimination.

[@martingonsalez6635]

thanks it was the pump

[@bruce7259]

That’s simple fix . Splutch kit

[@megananderson991]

Mine starts filling and before I know it, it's already draining. 3 diff repair guys were supposed to come take a look but nothing. We are having to load up both vehicles every weekend and spending upwards of $50 at the nasty laundry mat. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd be forever grateful. Sincerely one stressed working mama 😢

[@joshcobb4100]

If your water inlet filters are clogged and it’s taking forever to fill up with water…it will error out and just drain the water out and shut down. Also want to make sure your drain hose has elevation and is not going into a floor drain otherwise it will just drain the water out as it fills up. I would check these things first. Also, if the lid lock is busted, and it can’t lock, it will never move through the cycles.

[@tyggy3]

Great instructions and everything worked like yours, except the water didn't start. What now?

[@joshcobb4100]

This is gonna sound silly, but did you make sure your water was turned on?

[@andynguyen9773]

My question? When you reset the machine is turn off water right?? Thanks

[@joshcobb4100]

You don’t have to turn off the water unless you are unhooking it.

[@LEGENDARYJONEZ]

What if my sensing light is just flashing and my washer won’t go into diagnostic mode?

[@beefabulous7968]

Mine too

@@beefabulous7968 My shift actuator had went out so I manually drained the water and bought a replacement piece from Amazon. Works fine now

Try holding the power button for 12 seconds to cancel the sensing and reset the Washer.

After Calibration? Unplug for 5 mins and plug back in, wait a few and see if that works

[@mscc4362]

Hi Thank you. So I tried your calibration settings for a locked lid. Nothing but a flashing red light still. No water. It's silent with the flashing locked lid lid. What else could we try? Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@joshcobb4100]

Try unplugging it for 10 minutes. If still flashing red light it means the lid lock is jammed “locked”.

[@mscc4362]

Yes it is jammed. Unplugged it several times. It's ok it's ok it's done it time. User a hammer and popped it open.. So purchased another one. Thank you so much.

It acted like it was working then it got stuck and. Rinse and won’t drain and the door won’t unlock

[@squidsweatjuiceoven8583]

Please help me I calibrated my machine and spin is still flashing

[@joshcobb4100]

So you did calibration but instead of finishing the calibration, your spin light is flashing?

[@zachharrison7113]

What happens if I hit start on with the rinse light and it just stops. Diagnostic mode cancels

[@joshcobb4100]

My experience would be a lid lock switch, or CPU board not reading the lid lock.

[@Peaches1299]

My machine still won’t unlock

[@Undead_Nightmare]

Hi josh i have a very important question how do i raise the water lever because it’s driving me crazy haha i feel like the water is to low. thank you

[@joshcobb4100]

Unfortunately you can’t. Best suggestion is to dump a pitcher of water on your clothes before you start your load. That way the machine will think the load is heavier and use more water….best suggestion I’ve been able to come up with.

[@Undead_Nightmare]

@@joshcobb4100 dammit… so what ur saying is the heavier the more water it pours? so it has like a sensor that detects it? Also thank you for responding

[@joshcobb4100]

Correct. The heavier it thinks the load is the more water it will use. It has a sensor that measures the spin speed, and based on spin speed it’ll detect how much it thinks is in the tub (more power to spin the drum up to a certain speed = heavier load).

[@Undead_Nightmare]

@@joshcobb4100 ahh okay got it thank you so much for the help 💜

[@qp773]

@@Undead_Nightmare I have the same washer as this one and I would put it on normal setting, I could throw in 6 or 7 shirts and a few pair of socks and there was barely any water in it, I could put my arm in and touch bottom and the water was only a little way up my forearm, clothes seemed like they were half out of water. I started setting it on the deep wash setting and there's a lot more water in it when I do laundry

[@drdebsministryhub101]

I did this on the Kenmore 500 series and it will not complete the calibration cycle - it only works for maybe 30 seconds or so.
