Is there a way to change the setting on whirlpool duet washer to make the hot water washes hotter?

Change the Thermistor which is the temperature sensor. Or you could turn the cold water off when you do a Sanitary wash.

On a whirlpool mod. wtw5100vq0 when it is on spin cycle it shacks how can I repair it , would I change the coupling

Your washing machine might not be evenly balanced so it is shaking very roughly when the spin cycle is running.Redistributing the load will most of the time fix this problem here if it is caused by having too many clothes on one side of your washing machine.

Do the holes/slits under the washing plate of a top loader whirlpool washing machine go to the drain?

a magnet won't work unless you necklace was made of steel and that is very unlikely. Magnets only work on Ferrous metals, so gold, silver, brass, copper or any plated items won't stick. The necklace in there somewhere. Under the base is the pump and that is connected to a flexible pipe from the base of the drum. Pull the machine out and look at the rear. The pump is easily accessible, plus they have a filter. Videos in the link. The better search query would be 'make model remove pump'. https://www.google.com/search?q=top+loader+whirlpool+remove+pump+filter ..

Whirlpool duet washer won't start 3 dashes

It appears your timer/main controller/CCU has failed in this instance.

For replacement parts - head on over to PartSelect.com or RepairClinic.com and enter in your full model number for a full parts listing.
I recommend both sites because ...


FixYa has no affiliation with either site - I have been using and recommending them for years - trouble free.

PartSelect has a great schematic database for locating the part on your unit and great "testimonials" for each part that often times includes HOW-TO information.
RepairClinic has pictures of each part they sell and also a great how-to and troubleshooting for basic repairs.


If your unit has never been serviced - there should still be an original service manual enclosed in plastic taped to the inside of the shell.
In the service manual are Error codes, maintenance procedures, and troubleshooting steps you can follow.


Anything too complicated or beyond your scope should be handled by a professional.

If you think you want to tackle the repair - and have gotten stuck on a step - reply to your question and I will be glad to help you out.

How do I bypass the

The lid switch within the lid lock mechanism is a reed switch and is activated by a magnet located at the center front of the lid. The switch activates when the magnet is near it as when the lid is closed. If the error code is "lid", then the problem is with the lid switch not activating either due to a faulty lid lock mechanism or the lid magnet is weak or dislodged from where it should be in the lid. Place a strong magnet over the lid lock and if the error code persists, the problem is with the lid lock mechanism particularly the reed switch.

Remove the three screws from the rear of the console assembly, if the error code persists, then pull console towards the front of washer to hinge it open and remove console. The machine/motor control assembly is located on the right hand side of the machine that is enclosed in a casing with a clear tube/hose connected to it.

jahn27_305.jpg

Make sure the lid lock harness is connected snug and fit to the machine/motor control board. If there's no connection problem, strip the wires of pins 1 and 5 and short circuit them. In this manner, the lid reed switch is bypassed.

jahn27_306.jpg

If the machine works fine, the reed switch is indeed not working. You can install a switch between pins 1 and 5 as a temporary bypass for the reed switch. But you have to switch it off every after cycle and switch it on only when using the machine.

Let us know if the error code is "dL" or "dU" for further advice. You don't have to accept or reject this post in order to add comment or information. But accepting the solution should you find it helpful and/or informative will not stop you from posting comments or additional information. You can still communicate with the expert should you need further advice regarding the issue stated herein.

Asked yesterday duet whirlpool washer no serial number red lock light is on disconnected plug and breaker pressed the start button for 3 sec after connecting it again still doesn't work please help

Hi Bruce. i found this on the net. The lid can become locked if something is clogging the pump or filter drain. This means the washer is unable to drain properly, thus it won't unlock the door. It may also mean you need to replace a faulty drain pump. Or try this link out. https://howtofixit.net/whirlpool-washer-door-locked-light-flashing-how-to-troubleshoot-it/#:~:text=The%20lid%20can%20become%20locked,replace%20a%20faulty%20drain%20pump. or this link. https://www.google.com/search?client=avast-a-1&q=duet+whirlpool+washer+red+lock+light+is+on&oq=duet+whirlpool+washer+red+lock+light+is+on&aqs=avast..69i57.16197j0j4&ie=UTF-8

How do I clean the pump on my whirlpool 6th sense washing machine?

If you mean the impeller is jammed then take the filter out and clean the debris that is jamming it up. Normally the water flow when draining the machine is enough to clean it.
