Timothy G Twinsburg , OH September 26, 2026 Appliance: Model WTW4816FW3, TYPE 687-20. Washer would not go to the "wash" cycle after filling tub washer would not drain or spin Whirlpool Top Load Washer, Model WtW4816FW3, Type 687-20. Used Whirlpool Technical Manual (not the diagnostic test card) W11697231, Rev A. Drum Motor, Shifter Motor, Pulley belt and Drum clutch and pulley assembly are all accessed from the bottom, there is really no need to remove entire rear cover. However the rear control panel cover needs to be removed to access Main Control module. Because the washer did not seem to cycle, suspected Shifter motor assembly. Could not access diagnostic function until Shifter Motor (W11481722) replaced, then ran the diagnostics. Be careful when replacing the Shifter Motor actuator arm placement into the "splutch" cam arm slot. It is very important to locate the neutral position of the splutch cam arm. Finding the correct position between the "Agitate" and "Spin" position is tricky. If this is not done the Shifter Motor will not work and will not allow access to the front panel control diagnostic test. Shifter motor position may have to be done a few times to locate the neutral cam position. Read More...
