Once the front of the washer has been removed, take a quick look for water damage or any obvious signs of where the leak is coming from. If it is not obvious, run water to test.

Lint left on clothes after wash. Is there a filter that could be clogged ? Thanks dan
Chris Boyle Profile
Hi Dan, Thank you for your question. There is a lint filter listed under your model number. This is a drain pump filter at the outer tub inlet. The part number listed under your model number for the lint filter is PS11750500. If you are finding lint on your clothes after a wash, this could be a result of overloading the washer. Try washing in smaller loads and check the tags on your clothes to see how the clothes should be washed. This may help reduce the lint on them. If you do need to place an order for the lint filter, you may order it either online, by visiting our live chat sessions, Monday to Friday from 8AM to 4PM EST, or by calling our customer service line at 1-888-738-4871 and anyone will be happy to assist you. We hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day.

Washer leaves lint on clothes after wash is done
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello and thank you for writing. Excessive lint on clothes after washing may indicate that the water pump PS11757016 is clogged or faulty. When that happens, the wash and rinse water with all that suspended lint drains too slowly and leaves deposits on wet clothes. Remember to clean these regularly to prevent lint from redepositing on clothes. We hope this helps. Please contact us anytime if you require further assistance.

Sandra - For model number WTW4900BW0
December 7, 2019
Have you had any other reports of this Whirlpool washing machine coming on by itself days weeks in a drain then spin (in the middle of the night i believe it went through a whole spin cycle before stopping. If away i hit the cancel. We have had the electric, (wires & box), plugin to confirm it was receiving proper amps & was probably grounded, and lastly the power cord. The washer was not 1 1/2 year old when it started this. I contacted lowe’s where it was purchased who advised me they would only warranty for 1 year so and would do nothing for me unless i wanted to purchase a new one. I happened to see you for parts and info on youtube and thought i would see if you had heard or had a clue as i have to keep it unplugged when not in use as it sits between my bedroom and all exits and i don’t want to awaken trapped inside a burning house because of the washing machine. Anyway and all help/advice is most appreciated.Sandra carson

Lid Lock light blinking, machine will not start
324 of 404 people found this instruction helpful.
  • David from Los Alamos, NM
  • A Bit Difficult
  • 30 - 60 mins
  • Nutdriver, Screw drivers
A detailed Service Technician Service Manual is hidden inside the machine on the front panel. It is hidden by the bleach dispenser input. It gives a list of fault codes and instructions for calibration after repair, resetting fault codes, and a manual test mode for stepping the machine through each mode on command. The Tachometer faile d which would not let the machine come up to maximum spin speed. The tachometer is part of the solenoid actuator that shifts the transmission. It is not specifically called out in the manual. Any failure causes the lid lock light to blink which gives the appearance of a lid lock failure

Defective lid latch - Cabrio Washer
97 of 124 people found this instruction helpful.
  • William from Wakefield, RI
  • Very Easy
  • 15 - 30 mins
  • Nutdriver, Screw drivers
The instructions that came with the part were worthless. Essentially, unplug, put in new part, plug it back in. I spent a considerable amount of time on the internet and finally found a video showing how to open the top. Unlike other models, it is held down by clamps in the back rather than clips in the front. Once finding this inform ation the installation was simple. Remove the clamps and the back of the console, slide the top forward and lift, remove and replace the lock and reassemble. You don't even have to remove the hoses.

Well, first investigated and found loose nut on drive clutch. First take off the two screws with nut drive then cover off using a screwdriver blade to snap off the cover. Then socket ratchet to take off the nut on drive clutch. take off belt by slowly rotating the drive gear. two screws that hold the electronics to the upper drive clutch and put aside, so you can snap off the cover for drive clutch on upper part with screwdriver and off the parts come and install whole unit back as took it apart. Line up the new upper clutch so that is position as was before. (Using parts diagram helps a lot as www. partsselect.com has for you or Maytag.com.) Then put the electronic part board back on and the gear and nut. Make sure it is tight by several attempts to make sure it's snugged up good and then slowly roll belt back on the pulley and motor drive. Put your cover guard back on with two screws and done.
