Narciso February 20, 2018 for Model Number whirlpool WTW57ESVWO, SN CY2444654, TYPE 111-05 On any cycle the agitator starts before the fill comes on which did not happen before. This model states is has auto sensing with triple spray technology. Previously an online parts recommended and sold me part# w10292584 (2 POSITION SW) which has a hose input, when I went to replace it my washer did not have anything like. In its place I found a 6 position atc switch part # W10179666. What do you suggest I do as my washer is about 9 yrs old and other than agitator issue it works fine, thanks
1 Answer Narciso, This issue would most likely be the auto sensing switch that you received and should be the 3rd switch from the left as you are facing the unit from the front. This issue would be the pressure switch in that switch that has failed since it is agitating without filling. Read More...
Kris October 31, 2016 for Model Number MVWC6ESWW0 When 'Hot' water is selected, the machine only fills for about 5 seconds then stops. If you open the lid and close it again it does the same 5-10 sec fill. When 'warm' is selected it is sporadic. All other temperature selections appear to fill and function normally. Could this be due to the temperature or pressure switch?
1 Answer Hello Kris. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the temperature switch on the unit. Read More...
Albert October 24, 2016 for Model Number MVWC6ESWWO On the WARM water setting, the washer begins to agitate before the water is released. What is the problem with my washer?

Charlie January 29, 2016 for Model Number WTW57ESVW0 My washer starts agitating no matter where I set the timer. I installed a new timer and it still does the same thing. It does not fill with water before it starts to agitate but it will start spraying water like it is rinsing after a few minutes. Any idea what could be causing this?
1 Answer Charlie, This issue would be caused by either a clogged pressure hose or a faulty Auto sense switch. The part number for the switch is WPW10292584. Read More...
James H. November 12, 2014 for Model Number 110.29822800 I have a Kenmore 800 Washing Machine that has recently stopped working. It does not fill on any cycle. I can get it to spin and that's about it. I have replaced the Electronic Control Board and the timer, but still have the same problem. Any ideas what the problem may be? Lid Switch? Temperature Switch? Any help you could give me would be appreciated.
1 Answer Hello James. You need to test for power to the water valve. If there is power there, and no water, make sure the screens are clean. If so, replace the water valve AP4364774 on the unit. Read More...
Maurice April 13, 2014 for Model Number WTW57ESVWO I have had three pieces of cloths shrink. I always use tap cold. My wife changes it to warm or hot when she uses the washer. Can the tempature control switch # W10179666 cause this? Can any other switch cause this? The switch with the clear hose was replaced and the waher sounded better as it was back in cycle . It was loud again for a short period of time and now has corerected itself. Could that cause the tempature change also?
1 Answer Hello Maurice. It should not use hot water if your using cold tap. As for the clothes shrinking, if you dry them, they will shrink. Also, some material does shrink. If the unit adds hot during the cold tap, replace the water valve on the unit. Read More...
Gilbert February 08, 2014 for Model Number MVWC6ESWW0 Water temperture control, cold and cold dark are HOT. Warm and hot are COLD, So far I have only checked the hoses, cold is cold and hot is hot. So if we want to wash on warm, we turn the knob to cold for hot for a bit and then back hot for cold, so we can get WARM water.

1 Answer Hello Gilbert, This sounds like a temperature switch WPW10179666 malfunction. These are actually electronic on this model. Read More...
Eric T January 17, 2014 for Model Number WTW57ESVW0 When the water selector is set to cold I get hot water. When it is set to hot I get cold water. Does this sound like the Water Temperature Selector Switch? I don't want to spend the money replacing this part unless someone is certain this is the issue. Thanks,
1 Answer Hello Eric. You need to check and make sure the hoses are not swapped on the back of the unit. If they are good, then the selector switch is the next thing to go to. Read More...
Glen September 09, 2013 for Model Number WTW57ESVW0 My Whirlpool washer just stopped the other day. It will not fill on any setting, but will try to empty if I set it to spin. I checked the lid switch, and it is okay. I just replaced the temp selector switch (#W10179666) and still nothing. Getting really frustrated and out of ideas. I already spent $80 to replace the selector, and can't afford to go piece-by-piece. Any suggestions on how to test components? My next guess is the timer switch, but no idea how to test it out.
1 Answer Hello Glen. Try both hot and cold settings. If neither works, you will need to order and replace the sensor switch WPW10292584. If one works, but other does not, replace the water valve. Read More...
Tim May 19, 2013 for Model Number WTW57ESVW I only get warm water regardless of the temperature I select. Do I need to replace the switch that selects temperature or the sensor
1 Answer Tim, You're on track, It's most likely the water temperature switch WPW10179666 the "sensor" is internal of the water inlet valve WPW10175893 and seldom fails. Check and make sure there are no loose connections or corrosion on the temperature switch connector pins, the replace the switch, it's more susceptible to failure. Read More...
