Whirlpool washer reset calibration
If your Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore top load washing machine is not working correctly, shaking during spin cycle, and making a loud noise, you can reset and recalibrate it. Also, if you replaced the Main Control PCB, basket, drive assembly, suspension, motor, or capacitor, you must calibrate and reset the Vertical Modular Washer (VMW). For calibration follow this how-to video with step-by-step instructions. Some models include; WTW4800BQ1, MVWC425BW1, MVWX655DW1, 110.22352510, and many more...
I’m just sharing my experience, and if you are following my steps, please do it at your own risk.

@@222trixie check if it's leveled. And if still does the banging, it might need the springs replaced. The guy that came to do it said he had to replace the 4 springs, and that assures you you'll have more service out of the machine without constant replacing. Hope it helps

What worked for me are the following steps: 1. Make sure the knob is in the Normal position. Unplug and plug back the washer power cord. 2. Turn the knob left, then right 3 times, then left, and then right. Now LEDs will be blinking signifying the system is in reset calibration mode. 3. Turn the knob in any direction until only the Rinse LED is blinking. 4. Press the Start/Pause button. The recalibration reset will start. Wait until this is over, which will take about 10 minutes.

We replaced the shocks in our washer and it still banged. None of the instructional videos or articles we used said to do this recalibration. As a last ditch effort before buying a new one, we tried this. It worked. I’m stunned. Thank you.

Thank you sir for your expertise. You are a godsend. I’m definitely not mechanical or tech savvy so I didn’t know what was goin on when my my kenmore wouldn’t leave the sensing mode. I thought oh no, am I going to have to go to the laundry mat or get a new washer, but I watched your video and didn’t even have to replace parts so now my kenmore is back to washing clothes thanks to your generosity. May you and your family be blessed.

I was about to buy a new washing machine. I looked on KZread. You did the trick. Never been calibrated in 8 yrs. I swear by whirl pool. I don’t wash clothes everyday like most ppl. But calibrated it and works fine. Going on a cruise in in 2 weeks and there was no way they deliver a new one in time. I’m so glad that this was the issue. I know I got another few yrs. I only wash 6 loads a month. Most ppl wash every day for a week all month. This worked for me. Yayyy 🎉

My problem was the water barely dibbled in, nowhere near enough to wash and then it just sat there. Or, if the washer did fill to the right level, it hung at rinse, drained and left the clothes soaking wet. Followed these instructions. The washer is working correctly now. Thanks!

If you machine flows water while set to hot water it is your water inlet screen clogged. Pull it out and clean it. Use needle nose pliers and it pulls out like a Cork. Screw all this diagnostic testing. Something so simple took me all day to troubleshoot. Hit like if it worked. I had mine stuck in sensing mode. Try this if just hot works.

Make sure you take the wet wash out and let it drain if you can. I held the button to off and it drained. Took the stuff out. Unplugged it, plugged it back in and started the recalibration. All set, maybe should of added that to the video to make sure stuff is out. But I looked through the comments first and saw what the person typed.
Thank you I took a nickel out it was worn down an the sensor is working properly thanks again good looks awesome the best
For who It might help…. Our washer was not lighting up at all (store said to by a new washer) and it was stuck on the spin cycle while washing blankets. I pressed the pause stop button for 3 seconds and the second time I did the recalibration I did it correctly and its fixed. Because the lights went out on ours when it was uneven during the spin the store said they thought the mother board was fried. Everything went back to normal doing this including lights working again

Thank you, this worked although I ended up trying it twice, I screwed up the first try. Will this solve a auto sense issue? For some odd reason, my machine decided to get confused, auto sense and full wash ended up backwards. For full wash the switch had to be on auto sense, and for auto sense wash, the switch had to be on full wash position. I have zero clue how it did that, it just started doing it all a sudden.
Thank you so much! It works perfectly now!

Some washing machines can be tricked by pouring a bottle of water on top of the clothes to make them heavier. The auto-sensing will assume there are more clothes and will use more water. Try it.
My machine has done this basically since it was new, I wouldn’t think I would need to replace springs yet would I?
Mine goes thru calibration mode but after that doesn’t do anything. I checked for codes and there isn’t any. What is wrong with it ? Any ideas?

We just bought a brand new Whirlpool and worked for a few days then when I washed a bed blanket, it refused to spin and drain so we went to Home Depot where we purchased it and the Appliances Mgr told us to unplug the machine (to reset it from most likely unbalance) and then plug it back in. No problems so far. Knock on wood!! Also, this is SUCH a cheaply made machine. It almost looks disposable. Almost.

I recently got this machine and all was well. Until i forgot for mintue that you have to press the start/stop button before opening the lid, my old machine you could open the lid. I was adding something i forgot and it was only filling up with water but since then the fabric softener is not dispensing. Still there. It goes to the rinse cycle but the fabric softener is still there and the clothes are dripping wet not draining properly and i just bought this machine.
