Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Automatic Washer (Direct Drive) - Whirlpool Repair Manuals (Part Number: OEM9220731)

1 Answer

Hi Roy. Does it fill with rise water? Remove the back of the control panel. Remove the pressure switch hose and blow into it towards the tub. Did you feel any restriction moved? Use another hose and blow back into the pressure switch. Did you hear any "clicks" as the switch internally re-set itself. Reinsert the regular hose. Put the timer at the end of the wash cycle and see if it will advance normally into the drain so it can also spin. If so then you will need the pressure switch assy. part # is W10820051. Try this before replacing the timer part # is WP3953146. Thank you.

Hello Kevin. Disconnect the power to the unit. Remove the two screws in the back corners of the control panel securing the control panel. Pull the control panel forward and flip it backwards. Next unplug the lid switch and remove the two brass colored clips securing the cabinet to the back wall using a flat blade screwdriver to pry them out. Pull on the front of the cabinet and slide the cabinet off the frame of the washer. You can now access and replace the lid switch 3949247V. Reinstall in reverse order. Hope this helps.

Hello Paullin. Have you checked to see if the lid switch 3949247V is bad on the unit? If so, it will prevent the washer from spinning. If it is good, and the motor runs, but the unit does not spin, you will need to check the drive tube assembly W10820043. Hope this helps.

Paullin, Are you sure the clutch assembly and brakes are installed properly ? and you didn't dislodge or damage them when you re installed your transmission. If alls OK, You'll need to dismantle the transmission and re check the "neutral drain" components for damaged components as well 388253A Good Luck and Thanks

Kristi for Model Number wtw57esvw

Washer has been working fine (less than 1 yr old). My husband stopped it in middle of a wash cycle & forgot to start it back. I noticed it next morning (load sitting in tub full of water) & I finally got it to spin water out but it won't do anything else now. Does it "think" it's still needs to finish this load cycle? Is there a reset button somewhere? I feel like this it a problem that we possibly caused rather than a broken part. Any ideas?

Hi Kristi. Is it completely empty now? When you start a cycle does it fill and then stop? If so you will need the lid switch part # is WP8318084. Thank you.

Hello Pam. Watch the washer and see if it fills with water for a few seconds at the end of the cycle, after spin. If so, you will need to replace the timer WPW10177827 and the sensor switch WPW10248240. Hope this helps.

Ptc for Model Number 110.26892690

The water keeps running until I shut it off at the switch. I was advised by a local repair tech to replace the water pressure switch, which I did and the problem still exists. I tried the switch with the old hose and the new one as well. 1) If I'm reading one of your posted answers correctly, I should have replaced the valve (AP3094541) instead? 2) With the tub full of water from testing the pressure switch, after multiple attempts, the washer's cycle switch would "intermittently" drain the water and complete the cycle. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't. My 2nd question is should I also replace this part as well? Thanks.

1 Answer

Hello! If the water continues to fill unless you shut the appliance off the water inlet valve is bad and needs to be replaced. Your part number is 285805. Thanks.
