Troubleshooting a No-Spin No-Agitate Problem on a Whirlpool VM Washer, Part 1

Hello, by any chance do you have a link in which I can check the tech sheet?
Need to see the F5 E1 error

Where is part 2 to this video?

Nice! Will you do a video of the Casual Cycle for my mom?

I’m soooo glad I found your video. I used it to diagnose the problem, purchase the required part, and install it. After recalibration, I feel like I have a new washer. Thanks so much for this!

Great job!!
Many thanks

Kinda sounds like Tony stark lol

Help mine is not filling water Although it makes sounds

None of my status lights turn on when there suppose to, I have checked my notes three times.

Thanks! My problem was the (Basket speed sensor/ Actuator) easy fix. My error code was E5-F1 & E1 F7

I’ve lived for nearly 40 years and these dumb ass sensors cause more problems than they solve. Why doesn’t a manufacturer make an old school washer that doesn’t use this Bs technology

Hello, how do I get to part 2 of this video? I can’t seem to find it

Rinse and done light blink in test mode, what does that mean? I don't have the LED screen display.

Worst washer ever

How do I find part 2..I need to finish this testing

What if the drive pulley doesn’t turn

When mine did this I unplugged the washer for 1 minute plugged it back in and I was back in business, in case no one found part 2, I ended up googling the code and that was what I found

I have the same problem and same code. I've already replaced the shift actuator and still won't spin or even wash. I noticed that the pulley connecting the motor and transmission doesn't spin freely like in the video. In fact it doesn't spin at all when I try to move it. Is that normal? Any help from anyone is appreciated.

HA, just fixed mine, my pully was lose and not spinning the washer, pffft, got lucky this time (knock on wood)

Where is part 2

complicated should not need to do this...

What happened too part 2?

what is the music playing throughout this video?

F7 E7 then F7 E1 are the codes I'm getting. any suggestions?

BROKEN CYCLE KNOB  HOW TO FIX

Hello Scott, I've checked some of your videos on the Whirlpool Cabrio but I didn't see my washers problem. It seems to spin but not fast enough. I'm having to run the rinse and spin cycle once and sometimes twice after washing a load. No codes are coming up during normal operations. Any tips on what to check or as to what is going on. Thanks, Mike

It's the craziest thing. Our washer stopped the agitation motion during a washing cycle. I went thru the steps to get to the diagnostic mode and came up with E0 and F0 codes. Puzzling. So I next thought I should examine underneath. To make sure it was empty, I put it in the spin and drain mode expecting it to NOT spin and only drain. WALAH! It did spin. So I decided to try a small load in a wash cycle and it worked. I am not sure what happened, but going thru the diagnostics seemed to have cleared a fault. Working for now

I have a F7 and E5 what do i do to fix it

Hi i dont have the guide for the error code , my sensing ,rinse and done lights blink as error code can you help?

My maytag bravos HE would fill and drain but not agitate or spin. Turned out to be a bad lower wiring harness. It's the 3rd time I've had a problem with the wiring harness. First time it was a break in the red coil wire, 6months later it was a break in the green ground wire just before it connects to the motor plug. This time there was no obvious break, but no continuity between motor plug red and J16 plug red. There is a little connector under the washer that joins 3 red wires from motor, capacitor, and j16. It has a plastic sleeve around it. When I cut out the motor wires and joined them together, I got continuity, so I cut the other red wires from the wire connector and rejoined them with a wire nut and tape. Now I'm back in business. Who would think they would make a wiring harness so fragile?

you need to move the camera very still learn it first

I got an F7 E5, what do I do?

flashes
sensing rinse spin done
Then
rinse done

i have a carbi without a display it had it in diagnostic mode but couldnt tell the code the rince and spin would notlight up when the led was flashing the only the done light would be lit

what if the green board light is blinking

es whirpool cabrio

Mine has a fault code F0E5, what does that mean?

we have a cabrio washer and dryer set ....the washer will not spin and keeps re-starting the wash cycle over and over again

Mines full.up a Lil bit of water n try to wash n.stop before even fulling d right amount.. could it be my lid.n lock switch damage?

super helpful. thank you

Do you have a video on how to replace the control board on this exact same model? I have this model and would like to attempt this myself. Thanks!

hi whats up i have a washer that wont spin its a top-load kenmore i took it down i was thinking it was the capasstor because there was nothing in the pump and it spins free by hand changed it and still did the same when it humms if you spin it it will start up i am lost what wrong do i need a bigger one change it with a 165-240 mf

What if you don't gave a display how do you get the code

I've had an abundance of these machines come in lately that will not go into spin. All tests in manual test mode function correctly up until LOW SPIN, HIGH SPIN, GENTLE AGITATION and HEAVY AGITATION. On these last four I will get the beep and all status lights will flash. 

My question is:

Is it normal for the manual test to not spin on the last four, even after the actuator has been replaced? I will even calibrate the unit, but will get the same result in manual test. I found this unusual because unit will eventually follow through normal cycles and spin as intended. Is this the control board still stuck in error? 

Just curious. I have to say though... Best thing about this video is Kraftwerk's "Pocket Calculator" Great Choice! I bought that album (Computer World) when I was 8 years old the year it came out. That was quite an experience for 1981. LOL

Had this same problem, the belt fell off of the motor pulley. Pretty simple fix. Flip on its back, remove sound dapmener, 2 screw for the belt cover, 2 bolts for the motor. It's a tight belt might take two people to get it back on, or a pry bar like I did. Will be ordering a new belt for when it happens again.

This video was extremely helpful.  I had the same E1 F7 codes, and after looking at several other posts decided to replace the Shift Actuator on the machine.  The part cost $60 and took about 15 minutes to replace (not counting the one-hour round trip drive to the parts counter!), and now we're cranking through the laundry again.

Thanks so much for taking the time to share your insight and experience.  You saved me at least $100 for a service call, and probably an additional mark-up a repair guy would have charged on the part.

Hi, problems, problems. Pls help me. So, i have this model and is showing error code F7-E5, What should I do.
