Uncle Ernie March 09, 2023 for Model Number WTW57ESVW1 Hello, this Whirlpool washer won't start. If I move the dial to "spin", the unit will attempt to drain. That's all I get. Any suggestions?? Thank you in advance.
1 Answer Hello Uncle Ernie, replace the console-mounted temp switch WPW10248240, it is also the water level switch, when it fails it will not allow a water fill or agitation, the timer bypasses it for drain/spin operation also check that the drain hose is not positioned so low that it allows a possible siphon drain from the tub.

Chuck November 14, 2022 for Model Number MVWC6ESWW1 The unit starts adjitate while filling and leaves things wet at the end .after reading thru all the issues people are having it seem that it it could be the temp sending switch and or the timer. Is there trouble shooting info for these parts?
1 Answer Hello Chuck, yes replace the ATC/Load switch part WPW10248240, there is no testing for this switch as it actually has an internal electronic board, it is not your normal type switch, however when it fails it causes the symptoms you described. Read More...
Frank I September 15, 2022 for Model Number maytag washer MVWC6ESWW started wash cycle,odd gear strip type noise from dial area upon turning knob to start cycle. then noticed w/machine stopped after about 6-7 minutes. water in tub,appeared clothes did agitate. after pushing in and out on dial knob and moving it to various positions it started to work then it stopped after rinse cycle. I pushed in and out on dial knob then spin cycle started. it appears that anytime i moved main knob to a different position it starts to work. Machine is 13 years old. Any help would be appreciated.
1 Answer Frank I, Based on the information provided it would seem that you have a timer issue and the timer would need to be replaced. https://www.appliancepartspros.com/whirlpool-timer-wpw10243947-ap6017636.html Read More...
John P March 13, 2020 for Model Number WTW57ESVW1 We I start to wash agitater starts right away before enough water is in.

Kevin March 04, 2020 for Model Number WTW57ESVW1 as soon as we start cycle, machine agitates. is water sensor switch the issue, because I tested fill hose and that was clear. do not have meter, but seems everything is pointing to the sensor switch.
1 Answer Kevin, With the pressure hose being clear then this issue would be caused by a faulty Auto temp sensing switch WPW10248240 as the pressure switch is built into it. Read More...

Michael W. October 01, 2018 for Model Number WTW57ESVW1 When I try to fill my washer the fill valve opens and closes rapidly, not getting enough water into the tub to wash the clothes. It just switches on and off only letting a little water in on each on cycle.
1 Answer Hello Michael, This is normally caused by the temperature switch WPW10248240 on this wiring configuration. Read More...
Jim July 17, 2018 for Model Number WTW57ESVW1 I am working on a whirlpool washer, model wtw57esvw1. At first it would fill and spin out, but wouldn't agitate. I found out the timer had melted some of the points off so I replaced the timer and now it won't agitate or spin, the motor just hums. Could this be the temperature control switch? I had the motor tested and it is working fine, so I have dismissed that.
1 Answer Jim, With the motor humming you will want to double check connections at the timer but also check the motor coupler as this would be the most likely cause for the unit to not agitate or spin and the motor hum. Also check wiring between the timer and motor to ensure that there are not loose or damaged wires. Read More...
