Whirlpool Duet Washer - Problems with the Spin Cycle

Hi, I have Model: GHW9100LW1. I'm having problems with the Spin Cycle. It just started a few days ago. Sometimes I can run a load without any problems (usually the first load of the day), but then I start having issues. The Spin cycle sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. I hear a clackety sound (like when you're going up a roller coaster) and the drum stops spinning. I know the load isn't too large because I've tried all different sizes and it still does it even if there's just a few items in there. I end up pressing Pause and wait awhile (an hour or so) and restart it to let it finish its cycle. One load may take several hours because of the Pausing. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!

    sounds like the bearing is going out and to replace the bearing you have to replace the whole tub how old is it?

    All my Washer issues have been solved. 1) I had to replace the belt; 2) I had to replace the Pulley because it wore out and couldn't tighten down anymore; 3) My washer no longer sounds like a roller coaster, or feels like an earthquake since I now use a product called Washer Magic which cleans out all the hard water residue in the hoses. I'm so happy now!

Hi I have a whirlpool duet front load washer (GHW9100lW1) and the status is stuck on CONTROL LOCKED and i can't change it and the machine is no longer working.

Try putting the machine into diagnostic mode. If it won't enter diagnostic mode, then you need to replace the main control board.

DIAGNOSTIC TEST

The washer must be empty and the control must be in the OFF

state before pressing the touch-pad sequence to start the test.

Starting the Test Mode

■ Close the door.

■ Push CONTROL/ON (if present on this model).

■ Select the DRAIN/SPIN cycle.

■ Select NO SPIN by pressing the SPIN SPEED touch-pad.

■ Push PREWASH OPTION four times within five seconds. (If

PREWASH OPTION is not present on this model, press EXTRA

RINSE four times within five seconds.) C:00 will light up on the

display.

If the Starting procedure fails, push the PAUSE/CANCEL touch-pad,

then repeat the starting procedure.

Test Program Control

In order to advance to the next step of the test procedure, push

PREWASH OPTION touch-pad two times. If PREWASH OPTION is not

present on this model, press EXTRA RINSE two times.
