I ran the diagnostic on my Whirlpool washes I have blinking simultaneously light for FILL, RINSE and Done. What does this mean? Please help. I don’t want to try and open the top to get the tech sheet cause I need to know first what the problem is.

Elisa , The Whirlpool main control board is designed to stop the cycle and not allow any further cycles if it suspects a faulty heater. Clean LED blinks 7 times and repeats and disables the start resume key until cleared. Running the Service Diagnostics clears the control and allows normal operation. If not corrected the control will stop again on the next cycle. If the element and thermostat check good, check for pinched wires. If no pinched wires replace the electronic control:

Hi. I can help you with this error code that your washer is flashing at you. The first flash or blink of the console lights is the F and the second flash is the E part of the error code. So if on the first flash just the fill light is lit and then on the second flash the rinse and done lights come on it would be a F0 E5 error code . This error code is an off balance load error code. The washer has detected an off balance load. If clothing was not distributed evenly and the basket got off balance in the spin cycle it would cause the washer to stop and then flash this error code. Usually the you can hear the washer going off balance when this occurs. The basket most likely would have been banging against the cabinet. If it was not an off balance load you may have an issue with the suspension of the washer. Press down on the tub and let go. It should not bounce up and down more than once when pushed down. If it bounces up and down more than that you will need to check that the 4 suspension rods are in proper location at the top of the cabinet under the top panel and at the tub. If they are it there proper place you will need new suspension rods. I hope this was helpful.
