How to put a Whirlpool AWM9000 into test/diagnostic mode?

[superdoc]

Hi,

I wonder does anyone have the routine to send an AWM 9000 washer into self-test/diagnostic mode – I have seeen it somewhere on the net but of course can’t seem to find the info now that I need it.

Best Regards

Re: How to put a Whirlpool AWM9000 into test/diagnostic mode

Hi back again
Still having ongoing problems with one of my whirlpool AWM9000 washers – for literally years now it intermittently does not spin – turn it off or re-run a different cycle and it will start working fine for up to 3 months at a time. Test cycle ran fine so no help until now when the washer is refusing to spin at all, nothing that has worked before has helped and in test mode it fails at C6 in that the drum does nothing and similarly in C7 and C8 no drum movement at all – the odd thing is that the test program does not stop nor the buzzer beep etc and no fault code shows – it merely proceeds onwards as if ignoring the lack of a spin/motor activity so really I am no wiser other than to suspect the MCB . Of course as this is hardly available at a give away price I am dubious about replacing it – I am about to open the machine up and check all the connections between the MCU, control board and user board especially those between MCU and CB but if this does nothing am I looking at a dodgy motor or MCB? – I am I suppose in the lucky position of having an identical machine to swap parts between as a test but as they are stacked with dryers and in twice daily use I would rather not swap parts randomly.

Any help appreciated

Best Regards

not really replying to my own post but having watched it through a couple more times on test – everything seems fine up to CO7 when it makes a feeble attempt at anticlockwise rotation then stops after less then 90 degrees- no ramping of spin speed and no full speed spin in CO8 all of which is meant to be anticlockwise I think so does this really narrow it down to the MCU?

answering my own post now – it was the MCU proven by a quick and quite easy to get at swap between washers – one on order but not in stock so will be a while – oh and damn expensive!
