This saved my samity today! I successfully cleared an E1 F3 error by taking apart my washer and clearing out the filter and pump assembly. Thank you for this video!

[@repairclinic]

You're welcome! We are always happy to help. If you would like to give us a review on Google, we would much appreciate it: g.page/r/CcVUrahZNozMEBM/review We hope that you have a great day!

[@warrenmcclain1875]

Thorough and informative video . Helped me get my in laws washer cleaned and reaffirmed my stance that a top loading washer with a stainless steel tank at a fraction of the cost is the way to go !

[@Goustos923]

Thank you so much for showing how to access the control panel. I combined your KZbin video with another one and managed to troubleshoot the problem with my Whirlpool Duet washer. Wow. I will certainly recommend your page to anyone that is in need of a thorough video to assist with accessing the inner components of their washer. And you saved me the trouble of finding a reputable repair person and the money to pay for repair. Easy fix.

[@kathleencoon5184]

I didn't want to do it, but my son lost his cross on a necklace, and there was only one place it could be. I removed the back panel, and I could see the coin trap/filter to the right on the pump. It was very easy to place a bowl under the cleanout. Very little water leaked out into my bowl. The necklace was there!!! Not every mom can do this, but you can! Only caution: watch the back panel when putting it back on. The edges are sharp and I drew a little blood. Operation was a success!!!

[@leticiagarcia2159]

Is your washer the same as this on the video?

[@stowesuz]

I have the same problem. But I am 74 and live alone. The washer is so heavy that I can't move it to get to the back panel, otherwise I could do this. I have fixed other washers and driers before.

[@suz567]

ok, I got help to get the washer moved and will attempt to do what you did, Kathleen. Thanks.

[@demize7498]

This helped me a lot, thank you. With four dogs, the filter was heavily clogged with hair. I really with this model came with a hatch on the left side to gain easy access to the filter...

[@rob.halpin]

Ahh... So the filter is behind the left panel as you're looking straight at the front of the machine (The panel they didn't remove in the vid)?

[@ngufra]

@@rob.halpin the drain filter in below the drum. it can accessed from the back as well, remove a much of screws, remove the back panel and open the drain pump filter. much easier to do especially if the dryer is stacked over the washer.

[@jamespray]

This helped me get into our Whirlpool Duet model WFW9150WW01, although a few things were different (especially: cleanout is in the front, behind a lower panel secured with just three screws!). After 11 years, it suddenly began leaking badly out the bottom and had been banging/walking all over during spin cycles fro a while. Turned out the front gasket had two large tears inside and the dampers were shot, plus the filter was full of rusty shmoo from a combination of lost hair clips, jewelry, dog hair, and a stray drill bit. Total price of replacement parts off Amazon was about $130, opening up enough to diagnose was about two hours, and it took me another evening to replace the busted stuff and button it back up.

I’m a Maitenance tech and watch repair clinic all the time for info, this video was a lifesaver, 45 minute job.

[@jrnicholson70]

None of the other videos I found showed how to remove the 2 piece front cover, only the 3 piece. This helped a ton with my Whirlpool WFW97HEXL2 . Thank you!

[@mariadoering]

While saying multiple curses while disassembling this appliance to access a mere filter, I do appreciate the clarity of the directions. Thank you!

[@DCFangPi76]

Thank you! This video helped me fix my washer !

[@a89proof]

Curious as to what circumstance would require replacement of the permanent magnet rotor, rather than the wound and powered stator?

[@KirkIsmay]

I had scissors stuck inside the drum. Your video helped me get them out, thanks!

This video was a lifesaver and I'm thrilled that I didn't need to call a tech to fix my washer.

[@Christina-dw8we]

Thank you for this video, it's a good start, but I need to clean behind the basket, between the basket and the drum there is bits of metal from something washed that shouldn't have been, and some bits of rags or clothing.

[@jamesc3695]

This video was excellent. I now know how to disassemble my unit. I was kinda hoping you would talk more about the door latch. I have an E2 F5 error code on a very similar machine, a whirlpool duet front loader. Do you have any videos on this? I believe it may be something with the door latch.

[@teel72]

I live in an apartment and my dryer is on top of my washer. I would like to open the front panel to investigate a leak I've been experiencing during my washing cycles. It looks like I would not be able to remove the screws holding it in place without taking off the top panel...where my dryer is currently sitting.. is this correct..?

[@keonep1]

How do you adjust the water level on this model? I've seen videos of people being able to turn a screw on the water level sensor but this model doesn't have that same sensor. There are no screws on it to turn. The service manual says water level should be 2.5 - 5 inches and mines is like 1/4 to 1/2 inch of water. I can't get campfire smells out of my clothes no matter what cycle I choose.

[@sonyawright4927]

I have a Whirlpool front load washer WFW 8500 SR 00 (HLT 4006456) when I shut the door to wash clothes it will stop and click and it does not fill with water. Is this an easy fix?

[@Ne3s23p2]

What kind of microcontrollers are there in Whirlpool washers ? Since the warranty of mine expired (a TLDR60210), I want to develop a replacement firmware on a development board before it fails. I need to redesign the firmware because it does not fit well our clothes nor the environment-friendly liquid soap that we use, and integrate the washer in the home automation network. It seems those white goods became too overengineered towards contests for the maximum water savings with harsh chemicals, and only high-end ones have an inlet for hot water, preventing others from a direct connection to a renewable energy water heater.

drain pump is under the drum. You can access it after removing the front or more simply after removing the back of the unit. twist and pull the pump filter.

The WFW72HEDWO Washer came new in the manufactured home we bought. The warranty was out before we even moved into the home. We have had 4 different appliance repairman look at this top loading washer and it still does not clean my clothes. There is never enough water in it to wash them properly. I have used it a total of 10 times and I will never purchase another whirlpool product. Just had to get my 2 cents in.

[@jwadhwa]

So I have a Maytag MHW5500FC0, and the water isn't draining properly. I was hoping this video would have shown where the drain pump/trap is so I can see if that needs replacing. Thoughts anyone?

[@a89proof]

I can't say for certain, but it may be located toward the middle or rear at the bottom of the unit. The owners manual isn't at all helpful, but the parts schematic appears to show that there is a filter within the pump with may just need cleaned out. It doesn't appear that they've made access to it easy, though.
