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.

Make sure the tub is completely empty when you run the Calibration Cycle.

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.

you are a LIFESAVER! i used this tutorial because my washer was stuck in lock mode and i was losing my patience. I had my washer unplugged for over an hour and used this on a whim and IT WORKED! THANK YOU!!

Just came across your video after being ready to dump my brand new Whirlpool out the window—took me a couple tries but I succeeded in resetting it, and it's now working. Thanks!

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 YouTube. 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!

I come back to this video every few months when my machine starts jumping around on the spin cycle, probably my 10th time coming to this video😅

I just recalibrated mine now im waiting for the cycle to end so i can do laundry. I saw 2 or 3 other videos that wouldnt get to my problem. So thank you!!!

I just replaced my tube suspension springs and I didn't realize I had to calibrate the washing machine.
Thank you for the info.

This was the only sequence that worked for my machine. Thanks so much. Changed out the shifter motor and saved hundreds of dollars!

My lock on the washer was stuck while the lid was open and I couldn't shut the lid and the locked button was just flashing. This helped me a lot, it worked and unlocked the lock as soon as I did it HUGE help, thank you so much
