<\/p>\n
This article will discuss the Whirlpool washer troubleshooting mode, what it means, how it works and how you can use it.<\/p>\n
Let’s get started.<\/p>\n
The Whirlpool washer Diagnostic Mode is a feature that assists users in troubleshooting appliance problems. It’s programmed in most Whirlpool appliances as an intelligent feature to help navigate and fix issues.<\/p>\n
The diagnostic mode is a sophisticated state that modifies the different system components to check performance status, inspect test operations, identify problems and tackle them or prompt the users in case of complications.<\/p>\n
It’s always a best practice to invoke diagnostic mode when troubleshooting a problem with your washer, especially if the source is unknown. For instance, if you can’t turn on your washer, it’s not working, or some cycles fail, you can turn to the diagnostic mode to retrieve the error and fix the issues.<\/p>\n
In summary, The Whirlpool washer diagnostic mode inspects every part responsible for different system functions and checks their working condition to ensure they are working efficiently.<\/p>\n
The diagnostic mode works by running a series of tests on the different parts of the washer to ensure they are working optimally. It views logged washer errors, performs an automatic diagnostic cycle, and checks different components to scrutinize their working conditions.<\/p>\n
Specifically, the diagnostic mode checks different parts, including the water valve, drain pump, motor sensor, and heater, to test if they have any problems. When you run the diagnostic mode, it can fix minor anomalies and return different error codes to indicate a major problem.<\/p>\n
The error codes will point the users to the source of the problem. Some models of the Whirlpool washer have a digital screen to display the error code, while some will use the status lights on the console to beep a sequence which will then be interpreted into a code.<\/p>\n
The diagnostic mode enables you to test or inspect all inputs to your washing machine’s main control board. If you want to activate this mode, there are several methods you can go about it. The methods are the same across various models of Whirlpool washers, with only minor variation in some cases.<\/p>\n
You can enter the diagnostic mode by combining different keys\/buttons on the control panel. Before you start, you should ensure you put your machine in standby mode. The standby mode means your washer will be plugged-in, but all the indicators will be off.<\/p>\n
Below is the universal method of activating diagnostic mode on a Whirlpool washing machine:<\/p>\n
If there are no saved error codes on your washing machine, all the indicators on the console will vanish temporarily. Afterward, the seven-segment display will prompt and show “888”.<\/p>\n
It’s imperative to note that immediately after you put your washing machine in the self-diagnostic mode, all the options and cycles will reset to the factory setting.<\/p>\n
If the test detects a significant problem, it will return an error code to notify you of the problem. You must familiarize yourself with the interpretation of each error code to be able to tackle the situation accordingly.<\/p>\n
The diagnostic mode will time out after some portion of inactivity. Typically, it takes about 10-15 minutes of inactivity before it times out.<\/p>\n
You can exit the diagnostic mode at any time during the process. There are also many different ways of leaving the diagnostic method. The most common is removing the AC power from the washing machine. You can also exit the diagnostic mode as follows:<\/p>\n
