Once upon a time a washer and dryer could last decades. Whirlpool bought up the competition and now the next document you get in the mail is the three year warranty that costs as much as the new unit. Our new Whirlpool HE washer lasted two years before the dreaded squealing belt started.

Awesome info! Thanks! I have a similar model. Mine was filling ok but a bit slow, and as soon as it filled, it would drain without agitating and then sit idle with wash light on forever..then I would abort/cancel the cycle and start it over. I timed the fill and it was 30+ minutes. Checked the inlet screens, plugged up pretty bad. Cleaned them, now it fills in 5-12 minutes depending on the cycle and functions perfectly... What I learned is check and clean the inlet screens at least twice a year..

The manual says the first flash will flash the sensing light plus another light, this is the function code. The second flash the sensing light will be off and any other lights flashing indicate the error code. You then combine the function code and the error code to determine the cause listed in the manual you referenced.

I have an Admiral top loader (a rebranded whirlpool). It would stop in mid cycle for no apparent reason. The codes indicated a bad control board. This would be time to buy a new washer if you had to get a new board, very expensive. I got a used one on eBay for $20 though, replaced it myself and it works great! (I thought it best to run through a calibrate cycle, look for that on YT). Make sure to get the same part number. They come in a few versions.

You might have a bad motor. Sometimes when motors are bad they run hotter and it could be tripping your gfi.
@OFFAxisBuilds2 жыл бұрын
Also you might want to run it on a different circuit. They shouldn’t be on a gfi. Unless you are saying your circuit breaker keeps tripping. Also check your circuit breaker it might be worn out or the wire is slightly loose.
@aaronroberts08122 жыл бұрын
@@OFFAxisBuilds yes the circuit breaker will trip. But it's only been doing it with heavier loads. Smaller loads it doesn't trip. My house is only a year old and same for the washer so I just thought it was strange. But everytime I have had to reset the circuit breaker and the washer comes back on its on the rinse cycle.

Oddly enough, I have the same model & the trouble-shooting didn't work for me! I had to get my husband to take a look at it & I was trying to do this on my own. He figured it out without looking at the instructions... slightly irritating. This is the biggest pain in the butt washer I've ever had! So much for going with a low-tech washer...

Well a link to your next video will help you have a bunch of videos. Maybe I’ll buy you a coffe😅 So I followed your exact moves and mine gives me a flashing sensor light as well. But so we know we have the same issue. Can I ask. ? So what was the actual symptom ? Mine just cuts off when it’s time to rinse. It won’t pump the soapy water out although it will pump it out if you play with it. When it finally drains it the lid won’t lock. But it will lock if you can start a load. Just never finishes it until you play around with it. Mine is a whirl pool but slightly different than yours. I have all the same lights. Just a couple extra knobs.
