I have a washer that won’t go into spin cycle during normal cycle and the spin light is blinking all the time. I can not get into the diagnostics mode on the washer it will not go into this mode. If I put it in drain and spin it will go into the spin and get up to full speed I believe it’s the control board any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have see many times RPS sensor or a broke wire. Could be red wire or yellow wire. Do you know how to put the unit into a quick 5 min. diagnostic? This will run it through all the components etc. See video links on Whirlpool washer not spinning. https://www.appliancevideo.com/?cat=&s=whirlpool+washer+not+spinning&post_type%5B%5D=post&post_type%5B%5D=premiumvideos&post_type%5B%5D=fromthefield&post_type%5B%5D=embdvideo

DIAGNOSTIC GUIDE
Before servicing, check the following:
 Make sure there is power at the wall outlet.
 Has a household fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped? Was a regular fuse used? Inform customer that a time-delay fuse is required.
 Are both hot and cold water faucets open and water supply hoses unobstructed?
 All tests/checks should be made with a VOM (volt-ohm-milliammeter) or DVM (digital-voltmeter) having a sensitivity of 20,000 Ω per volt DC or greater.
 Resistance checks must be made with washer unplugged or power disconnected.
 IMPORTANT: Avoid using large
diameter probes when checking harness connectors as the probes may damage
the connectors upon insertion.
 Check all harnesses and connections before replacing components. Look for connectors
not fully seated, broken or loose wires and
terminals, or wires not pressed into connectors far enough to engage metal barbs.
 A potential cause of a control not functioning is corrosion or contamination on connections. Use an ohmmeter to check for continuity across suspected connections.
DIAGNOSTIC LED – MAIN CONTROL
A troubleshooting tool has been implemented onto the main control board—a diagnostic LED.
LED ON – The Control is detecting correct incoming line voltage and the processor is functioning.
LED OFF – Control malfunction. Perform TEST #1:
Main Control, page 12, to verify main control
functionality.
SERVICE DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODES
These tests allow factory or service personnel to test and verify all inputs to the main control board. You may want to do a quick and overall checkup of the washer with these tests before going to specific troubleshooting tests.
LED Location
to access fault/error codes, perform steps 1 and 2 of Activating the Service Diagnostic Test Modes. Turn the cycle selector knob until the status LEDs correspond as follows:
 “Done” LED On
Press the START button to enter Fault Code Display Mode. The status LEDs flash on and off.
1. To view last 4 fault codes:
 Turn cycle selector knob clockwise to view fault codes in the order of most recent to oldest. (Refer to Fault/Error Code charts on pages 6 & 7.)
NOTE: A fault/error code will be removed from memory if it does not reoccur after 10 consecutive wash cycles.
2. To clear fault codes:
 Turn cycle selector knob until the status LEDs
flash ON and OFF (see figure 2, page 2).
 Press and hold the START button
for 3 seconds to clear all fault codes
and exit Fault Code Display Mode.
Fault/Error Code Display Method
Fault/error codes are displayed by alternating the state of the Status LEDs in one second intervals. All fault/error codes have an F# and an E#. The F# indicates the suspect System/Category and the E# indicates the suspect Component system.
If the Fill or Sensing LED is ON, the Fault
Number is represented; if OFF, the Error Number is represented (see example below). The remaining LEDs (Wash, Rinse, Spin, and Done) represent the fault and error code in binary. (See Fault/Error Code Charts on pages 6 & 7 for more information.) = ON.
LED names may vary between makes and models.
3. There are several accessible Diagnostic Test Modes shown in the chart below. To select the desired Mode of Operation, turn the cycle selector knob until the status LEDs match the mode desired to enter.
4. Press the START button to enter desired mode of operation.
Refer to the following pages for detailed information on each mode of operation:
 FAULT CODE DISPLAY MODE: Page 3
 AUTOMATIC TEST MODE: Page 4
 MANUAL TEST MODE: Page 4
 CALIBRATION MODE: Page 4
 SALES DEMO MODE: NOT FOR SERVICE USE*
 UI TEST MODE: Page 4
 SW VERSION DISPLAY MODE: Page 5
 FACTORY DIAGNOSTICS: If accessed, washer must be recalibrated (see Calibration Mode)
 TACHOMETER VERIFICATION MODE: Page 5
*Press and hold the START key for 3 seconds to exit.
Unsuccessful Entry
If entry into diagnostic test mode is unsuccessful, refer to the following indication and action:
Indication: None of the LEDs turn on.
Action: Press START button to enter setting mode.
 If indicators come on, repeat steps 1
through 4 of Activating the Service Diagnostic Modes. NOTE: Rotating the
dial too fast or too slow will affect entry.
 If no indicators come on after pressing the START button, go to TEST #1, page 12.
EXITING THE SERVICE
DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODES
Press and hold the START button for 3 seconds at any time to exit diagnostic test modes.
Washer will exit diagnostic test modes after 5
minutes of inactivity or unplugging the power cord.
