Turn the dial counter clockwise ONE click (LEFT), clockwise THREE clicks (RIGHT), counter clockwise ONE click (LEFT) then clockwise ONE click (RIGHT). Now press the start button. All the cycle indicating lights should be illuminated. Press the Start Stop button once. Rotate the dial until Rinse, Wash, and Stop light illuminate. Turn the washer off and unplug it for 10 seconds.Finally, turn on the washer and it should now be reset.Run a test load empty to be sure the reset worked.

The hinge pin on the l/h side of the top is broken. Do i also need the assembly and the hinge bearing? The hole where the hinge pin goes looks elongated .
For model number WTW6800WL1

Hello and thank you for writing. You can replace the hinge pin only PS11746533 and you also should change the mounting screw PS11748160. That should hopefully fix this issue. We hope this helps. Please contact us anytime if you require further assistance.

My washer shows the error oL when I run the diagnostic test. Actually the machine doe’s everything else but step #6 I believe “agitate” it doesn’t was the clothes. Now I’m trying to take the agitator and after take the bolt the agitator doesn’t come up. What’s the trick. Thank you.
For model number WTW6800WL1

Hi Daniel, thank you for your question. According to our research, the error code oL indicates that the washer drum is overloaded. If an overload is detected, the washer will drain any water and detergent in the washer. We would suggest removing some clothes from the drum and adding HE detergent. Close the lid and press Start/Pause. To remove the agitator, we would recommend following these general instructions: Using a flat-blade screwdriver, remove the agitator cap by pushing it slightly upwards. Remove the agitator bolt using a ratchet by rotating it in the counterclockwise direction. Grab the edges of the wash plate with both hands and lift it. The plate will come off. If the plate does not come off easily, use a metal wire and insert it in one of the small holes on the wash plate, and take it out from the other hole. Apply force to lift the wash plate. We hope this information helps!

Loose change entered drain pump, cracked housing leaked all water out
Disconnect power, hot/cold supply and drain hose. Tip washer onto front side, expect some additional water to leak out. Remove the cracked drain pump, 3 screws, hose clamps, and electrical plug.

Tip washer back up, use the putty knife to pop the top cover up (clips are about 6.5in in from sides). Unclip the white plastic cover over the outer and inner tubs. Pop the center cap from inside the inner tub, exposing the bolt holding the inner tub down. Remove bolt, pull inner tub up and out.

At bottom of outer tub remove 2 screws from drain access cover, should find some change under there (or in the pump).

Re-assemble using new pump.

Note:
Before new pump arrived I was able to use some silicone sealant, epoxy, and black tape to temporarily fix the cracked pump housing after pulling it out.

Water pump for draining
The actual install of the pump was extremely easy. I removed the back cover, (After unhooking water, drain and electricity. I laid the machine on its front ( USE CAUTION WHEN DOING THIS, THERE ARE SHARP EDGES on the FRAME) After bandaging my cut fingers, I used a nut-driver/screwdriver to remove the screws, pliers to remove the Spring clamps, unhooked the wiring( its a single plug in) and reverse the procedure for installing.

I saw where a person had put the screws in the filter below the tub. I had to find the clips on the front of the machine, (about 7 in in from the sides) I removed the nut cover on the agitator, used a socket to remove the agitator, tub, and a nut driver to remove the filter. I found 3 areas where coins could get through the drain filter, and I used self tapping screws to make an obstruction that water could get through but not the coins. I reinstalled tub. Before re installing the agitator, I got some fiber glass window screening and cut a piece to go over the drain slots in the bottom of the tub but under the agitator, then reinstalled the agitator.

I noticed that the new pump had more re enforcing at the areas where the 1st pump broke. I doubt that it will break, but I am not taking any chances. I put the screen in to prevent the coins from getting to the drain filer 1st and the back up was the screws in the drain filter.

The washer was making a horrible noise during the spin cycle
Removed a cap in the center of the tub basket which has a bolt that needs removed I believe it's a 9/16 after I removed the bolt I then removed the center of the bottom of the basket assembly which then allowed me to get to the basket hub that needed replaced it was a little dirty and I couldn't get it out so I sprayed a little penitrating oil on it let it sit a little then I was able to remove the hub and install the new one then I put it all back together and the washer is working great
