Hi, thanks for your answer, I didnt mention that the unit on second load will run just fine without any load, and yes like I mentioned before, i replaced the drain pump, the drain house is mounted in accordance with specifications, I have ran the unit many times without any detergents, thanks for yuor help

Sounds like it is going off balance. The machine will extend the spin portion of the cycle and try to rebalance the load. It will try a few times and then just end the cycle with out spinning. Cycle will say it’s done, like normal and no error codes will appear or be stored. Small loads will cause this.

Hi Brian, How should I repair this type of problem, it is easy when the machine has a constant problem, I dont get it, how this is even possible, like I said no detergent is added, and still wont do a final spin on second load, I have spent money already, not making any profit on this one, but reputation is what I am looking for now.

Yes, I believe the rps sensor is going to be built into the motor on this unit. However I have not ever seen or heard of the sensor being bad. It should be throwing an error code if that sensor is having an issue and it should be more consistent. I think it’s very unlikely but it is possible that you’re having an issue with the motor. Make sure your motor is mounted tightly and your pulley is tight and belt checks good.

I will make sure of that, even thou I have checked all that already, will see tomorrow since he will start the cycle before i arrive, I have a question about a dryer that is not heating, it runs but just blows cold air, I checked all the safety and also see no voltage at the element contacts, the only one thing i didnt check what if there is 2 legs of 120 v each, being provide to the dryer, and the heater relay o the unit, what do you think this could be? this model has no centrifugal switch, thermistor checked within range as well

Sounds good. Let me know what you find tomorrow. Go ahead and start a new question for that dryer so we can keep the information separate please.

Hi Brian, Ive ran the quick diagnostic and no codes was shown, ran a universal then a f-25 code came up, the code is not listed on the machines book, it jumps from 24 to 26, funny ham, I found some info on code f-25 but not even sure if i can use it on this model, also I measured the resistance of the motor, and all came up right except the brushes contacts were high resistance by about 3 times of the normal resistance, so I cleaned the brushes hoping it would fix, I thought, maybe on high speed spin is not working, but nope, it didnt work, the machine wont finish the spin cycle sometimes, any other idea?

I do see that the f25 is not listed. I looked up some info and it appears that error code for your model indicates a tachometer error code. This is the speed sensor or rps sensor that is built into the motor. You did say your readings were off when you tested the motor. It does sound like you do have a faulty motor. Very uncommon. Only seen it a couple of times. Make sure your wire harness between the motor and control is good.

Hi in fact the connections are all good, I disconnected them, ohm them out and all, I also found that f25 is also a communication error between MCU of the motor to the control board, now the mcu is a lot cheaper than the motor, now I am not sure whether is the mcu or the motor, the f25 code only show up when running a universal diagnostic, wont show on quick diagnostic, is there a reason for it?

I did see that it could be the MCU also for a communication error but I did not realize this unit had an MCU. I wish the tech sheet listed this error. At this point it could be either the motor or MCU. If the motor windings and tachometer test good then I would go with the MCU. If not replace the motor. We know the motor does work so if it is an issue with the motor if would more than likely have to be an intermittent issue with that tachometer in the motor.

that is what i am thinking, but either way is an expensive part, even being the mcu, both are electric parts and most of supply store wont take back if it is misdiagnosed, the unit does run every now and then.

I’m at at whirlpool 5000 model and the spin cycle work in every mode except in real life it will spend high and low speed in manual test mode also it will spin when recalibrating but in spin mode and Spins for one second then stops and starts again and stops I replace the board and the shifter I’ve got a motor on my way back to it now but the motor reads find on my multimeter what could be the problem
