What does code uL mean. this comes on in the drain spin cycle

There is a little device inside the washer that allows the agitator to spin independent of the drum. If this gets stuck, the washer will try to spin the whole drum instead of just the agitator. This will cause the washer to think the load is too large or out of balance, causing the error code. On some Whirlpools this device is just a washer.

F51 error code is a motor rotor position sensor failure or a lower harness problem. You need to check the motor in manual test mode, not automatic test mode. This will check the hall sensors and do a spin test: Be sure the washer is in standby mode (plugged in with all indicators off; or with only the Clothes Clean or Done indicator on). Select any one button (except POWER, START, STOP, and PAUSE/CANCEL) and follow the steps below, using the same button: Press/hold 3 seconds. Release for 3 seconds. Press/hold 3 seconds. Release for 3 seconds. Press/hold 3 seconds.

If this test mode has been entered successfully, all indicators on the console are illuminated for 5 seconds with 88 showing in the Estimated Time Remaining two-digit display. During the 5 second wait time with 88 showing in the display, press the same button once. You should be in manual test mode. If the button is not pressed within 5 seconds, the automatic test mode begins. The Rotor Position Sensor uses Wash, Rinse, and Spin indicators to detect the three hall sensors. Console can have up to two of these indicators on at the same time when the tub is not moving. Open the lid and rotate the basket by hand. The Wash, Rinse, and Spin indicators should toggle on and off according to the direction the tub is being turned.

SPIN TEST: Make sure lid is down. Press and release: 2nd RINSE or EXTRA RINSE. The lid locks and the lid lock indicator turns on. Press and release; SPIN SPEED, WATER LEVEL, or LOAD SIZE. The motor/basket spins at 23 rpm. Press again, motor /basket spins at 530 rpm. Press again, motor/basket spins at 950 rpm. Press again and motor turns off.

The Ld code is Long Drain. You might have a clogged hose. I had this problem once with mine. We had to empty the washer by hand and turn it on its front. Make sure you unplug it first! There is an elbow that I think was attached to the pump. We popped it off and it was clogged with dog fur (from washing dog bedding). Cleaned it out and put it back on and that took care of it. I found the diagram of the system online and suggest you look for it too - my memory isn't what it used to be - it'll tell you what to look for and where everything is. It could be the pump, too, but hopefully just a clogged hose.

check the drain lines to make sure they are clear

Transmission timer belt solonoid ???? Take your pick. Motor is probably good because it drains

Good luck,

Un plug it for a few minutes or even overnight and plug back in, that will reboot the electronic control, if that doesn't fix it and you do not have a good honest local repair shop call Sears. Good Luck

That error means that it is sensing an OVERLOAD. If it does this when it is empty, then there is something causing the error. IT could be something stuck in the drum around the seal or the bearing or it could be the bearings itself

1.), Pump may be bad. Check voltage to water pump in Spin Cycle. If you have voltage at the pump, but it does not run, replace the pump.

2.) If you have voltage to the water pump, and can hear or feel it running, cut power off, and remove the boot which is directly below the wash bin. The boot empties into the water pump. You will need long needle nose pliers or better, use water pump pliers to remove the straps holding the rubber piping to the pump and the boot. Remove debris from the boot, i.e., bobby pins, coins, socks, pens, keys, etc.

3.) If no voltage comes to the pump in spin cycle, you may need a new timer.

4.) Install a new belt on the motor pulley. You will regret not replacing the belt later.

Did you ever figure this out? Mine agitates but instead doesn't start spinning and draining unless I open the lid. It then "clicks" and starts but it is strange that I have to do this to get it to spin.

1. Remove the drain hose from the drain and try to drain the water from the washer. To do this plug the washer back in and attempt another drain cycle. If water does not come out of the drain hose then you now know that the plumbing is in good working order. 2. Place the drain hose back into the drain and remove the washers cabinet.
3. You will now be able to see the pump and it should have two hoses attached to it.
4. Disconnect the hose coming from the basket. If water comes out you will know that nothing is clogging the basket.
5. If both of these tests come out good you now know that the problem is the pump.
6. Make sure you write down all relevant information such as the washing machine model and serial number.
7. Head to your local hardware store and buy a pump (they typically run about $15.00).
8. Remove the old pump and install the new one (make sure the washing machine is turned off and unplugged).
9. Test it. Let it run through a cycle to make sure everything is installed and working properly.
10. If it is still broken call a repairman or ask a handy friend to check it out for you.
