OMG it works
THANK YOU!!!!!!!! My sister, who lives 90 mi from me, called and said her clothes were soaked, water still in washer. She did not need this issue since her husband passed a week ago and she now lives by herself. After watching 5 videos concerning this problem, I was ready to take a 2 hr drive, remove the enclosure from the washer and remove the obstical from her pump. UNTIL, watching your video. I called her, she did what I said, washer working great. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I just want to say thank you! We are preparing for a trip and of course today if all days it stops working. I’m so glad I can across your video and you showed me the trick. It worked instantly. You saved me from calling a repair person, on a weekend, last minute and spending a ton of money. My family says thank you! ☺️
Your advice worked like a charm. My Amana washing machine was beyond warranty when it stopped working. I was so disheartened and contemplated taking it to a professional repair shop and paying through the nose for the privilege. I watched your video, followed the instructions and it's back up and running like nothing ever happened. THANK you! Jim
My nephew and I just spent 3 hours of our lives we will never get back. The level of frustration we both experienced is unimaginable. I was looking at buying a new washer online when somehow, by some divine intervention, your video showed up. I tried this. IT FREAKIN WORKED! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this video.

After watching 20 other videos and troubleshooting everything I could think of, I was ready to give up and buy another washer. I figured it was the electronic control, but could find no schematic or troubleshooting info. I searched one last time and found your video. It worked! It's been a rough weekend. My water heater circuit board blew yesterday and I spent the day replacing the heater. You saved me a lot of time , money and aggravation. Thank you!
Thank you!! Literally spent more time watching this video than fixing my washer. Worked perfectly!!
We have these washers at the apartment complex where I do maintenance work. Your video is going to make me look like an appliance repair genius to the Property Manager one of these days. I've already put into use lots of knowledge you've shared, when performing HVAC work orders. I'm sure you have been told this a zillion times, but I want to say it again, You are a gifted teacher! Thank you very much and Best Wishes to You and Yours!
Thank you so very much! I seriously want to send you a handwritten thank you card in the mail. I cannot believe this worked. You saved me from having to take apart the agitator (which was my next step). You saved a whole load of sopping wet towels and my time. Thank you!
bravo, bravo - all fixed just by adjusting the lid. and here i am shopping/browsing online for a $200.00 repair or getting a new cheap washer for over $450.00 thank you - you are the best!!!!
Went through all kinds of tests, took apart the machine; only to catch this video: it worked! lol, who would have thought. Thank you friend.
I was just about to take the whole agitator apart and scrolled down to this video, you just saved me a lot of frustration, this worked! Thank you!
This worked for us! I laundered heavy duty items causing an uneven load and the next set of wash was sopping wet when I went to put the clothes in the dryer. We tried lots of things and were about to give up and face a repair bill or buy a new machine. My husband found this video and like magic, we’re back in business! Thank you!
You saved my sanity, every thing I looked up said it was a balance problem and was out of level; worked on that for an hour. Found your video and it only needed to be reset. Thank you
Dude, you are a genius! Saved me hundreds of dollars or a hot, sweaty day of work. Other videos wanted me to start taking the machine apart. THANKS!
Thank You so much Sir. This solved my problem. After spending like two hours trying to figure out what was causing the washer not to work, I came across your video and did exactly what you did on the video and let me tell you it worked right away!! Again thank you!!
I thought you were being funny too. The thing quit. On a dice roll, I tried it on a feisty ten year old kenmore 400 with parts I replaced earlier. A watery putrid experience I dreaded going through again. I was about to go after the pricey cycle selector and/or the fuse until I just tried this expecting nothing. It worked. Im listening to the washer right now going through its paces. No repairman in the history of repairmen has ever shared this. They will say its a big job and then when you're not looking , they will reset it and charge you. You kicked over a serious cow sharing this. Thank You in public.
So great! My issue was definitely was an uneven load, but the motor already had locked. Ive been having issues with my Mabe for more than a year,,, and 9 out of 10 times it is the sensors locking the motor. Thank you for taking the time to make this video!!!!!
Amazed to say this actually worked on our very old washing machine. Thank you
Man you just saved me so much time and money. I thought I was going to have to call in a repair man and spent countless hours looking at other youtube videos trying to find how to fix my problem. Your video solved my problem in less than 5 minutes. THANK YOU
I had the repair guy here (with DECADES of experience...) and he told me I needed a new timer. He was going to order it and make a second trip out to my house (30+miles) to install it. I found this amazing video and it worked like a charm! Saved me around $250 at least. It happens when my washer spins an unbalanced load. THANK YOU!!! PS I cannot believe the repair guy didn't know this!

Wow! Thanks so much. A good friend of mine had a Kenmore top load model 110 that would not agitate or spin. It would fill with water, sit for a few seconds, add more water, sit again, and never agitate. I tried this fix, and it solved the problem. Thanks again.
Thank so much! My Whirlpool washer stopped spinning after my wife had washed some extra heavy blankets. This fixed it! I was already looking to buy another washer!
Thank you so much. This actually worked. The agitator function wouldn't work. Checked the agitator parts and they were all fine. Thought it was the belt but luckily i found this video first, tried it, loaded up the machine and it worked. Thank you, saved us from spending money.
Thank you sooo much! You are so kind to share this. We didn't believe it, and then it worked! Thank you for taking the time, and explaining so reassuringly.
Thank YOU.. from the bottom of my heart.... thought I was going to have to dish out hundred of dollars to buy a new one washer.. but did exactly what you said... 12 seconds to do the 6 repetitions .. and VOILA ! :).. it worked .. thank you, you are the man !
Omg this is the first time this happened to me and I was stressing thinking we would need to buy a new washer! I have the conservator washer for about a year already & haven’t had any problems with it I know it’s a very low end washer but I’m happy this worked for me thank you!
Worked on my Whirlpool!I bow to your superior knowledge sir!
THANK YOU!!! I watched several videos and none of them mentioned this. Your trick fixed my washer.
I am so grateful for this video!! I was stressing about my washer, the hassle and cost of ordering a new one, what to do with laundry til I get one, disposing the old one…. This video fixed my washer! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Had this same problem on our brand new washer, several times. I was ready to return it. My husband did a once over on it, including the two different reset options. Come to find out, the outlet hose connected on the bottom back of machine was crimped/pinched. Bought a new hose and it's worked perfect ever since! Hope this helps others avoid the aggravation.
Are you aware that today you just saved me a heap of money having to book a service call. I have a Kenmore top-loader and it's 25 years old. I followed your instructions exactly and it worked like magic. Thank you so very much. Thumbs up . . . that's for sure. Darryl

One more to report this fix worked with deep thanks to Word of Advice TV! Had my washer completely apart - spent an entire afternoon fighting with it. Thought the lid switch was the cause but the problem came back after running a load of bathroom towels - deducted it was too heavy a load and the unbalanced load shut off was happening. Found very little online about this problem and was lost. Had no idea how to reset the washer until I saw this video. Saved me another afternoon looking for a mechanical problem that was electronic. Knowledge is power.
UNbelievable! Worked on our 2009 Admiral washer. Saved us a big headache AND $. Thank you!!
Worked like a charm after I tore the washer apart thinking it was broken. Thanks man.
Wow. This worked. I was dreading having to call a repair man and can't believe this worked! Thank you so much!

Just so we're absolutely clear, this method only applies to GE top load washers utilizing the inverter driven motor. Your Amana washer does not have the magnetic lid switch nor does it have an inverter board. This technique does not "reset" your washer, regardless what is said in the video.
Worked like a champ. Saved me a lot of headache and heartache. Thanks for the post
Thank you ! I got it to work after doing that several times and giving the drum a push start.Saved me about $10,000.00 My washer is 17 years old.😊
Thank you! This worked on my hotpoint. I'm super thankful. I have a spinal injury and was not able to work on it and was gonna call a repair man. I was able to do it myself! 🙂

Dude. You rule. Needless to say I fixed my Kenmore series 100 washer. While I was thinking it might be the capacitor or something in the motor or the pump or all these other things they mentioned in other videos your 10 second solution did it! Thanks!

Thank you SO much!!! I've been trying to figure this out for over an hour. Finally I googled it and your video came up, this trick worked like a charm. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR SAVING MY SANITY!!!
This worked!! I just bought a new washer last year and Sunday I went to do laundry and my washer would start to fill, then stop. It wouldn't spin when draining and would just stop. I didn't even think of resetting it, I was getting ready to call for repair when I googled the symptoms and "reset washer" kept popping up. Thank god this video popped and honestly I thought it was crap, but it worked!
Thank you and blessings on you and yours. My husband is disabled and I have to fix everything and without you I would have most likely been on my way to the washeteria and the repairman on his way to my house.
This is just amazing, it really fixed my washer (Maytag). Thank you very much.

Thank you so much for this video. I tried different ways to reset my washer and nothing worked but your advice worked right away. This is Gold
It works! We have a GE profile. Not even a year old, stopped spinning. Now the motor is reset. Thank you so much!
God bless you sir! You really saved my bacon. Yes this worked! My washer worked fine the last time I used it. When I went to wash clothes this week -- nothing. No lights. No response from the controls. I turned it off at the breaker, let it sit for a while, then turned it back on. The yellow "sensing" light was on and blinking, otherwise still nothing. Later, I found this video and am now up and running. If you use YT the way I do, you'll want to know this about my washer: 2019 Maytag "Commercial Technology" high efficiency top loader, Model MVWC565FW1 (5 knobs across the panel, looks like the Centennial Series, probably an analog of some Whirlpool model as well)
Thanks!! This worked on my Frigidaire washer dryer combo. The dryer was working but the washer stopped at the drain cycle!
Your video came up when I searched for Maytag washer motor repair, and I am so glad that it did! I am a subscriber to your channel for life.
Wow it really does work! I own a Whirlpool top load washer, it's a pretty basic model, and this little tip did just the trick! Here I was thinking I wouldn't have any clean clothes for work in a couple of hours but now I have a washing machine that is running top notch again. I do think an unbalanced load is what caused mine as well seeing as I washed a comforter and sheets in my last load. I can't tell you how many washers we have thrown out and replaced over this same exact issue.. no more though! Thanks so much! 😄
Thank you! Thank you. After an appliance repair person said it was too difficult for him to even come look at.... I did it and it worked ... He probably would have charged me $400-$500 to "fix it" Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!

My washer was going through all the cycles but it was only agitating for about 1 minute during each wash and rinse cycle. But this simple process ofvopen and close lid worked. My washer is preforming as normal now. Thank you so much! I can cancel my repair call, that was going to cost about $125 just for them to knock on my door, then parts and labor also.
It really help me I was getting really frustrated with my washer then I found this tutorial 😭 it really help me and work
I was starting a load of laundry with lid up and forgot to put lid down. Was making a strange sound, it was trying to agitate but since kid was down it wasn’t working.
