HI, WE'VE GOT A WHIRLPOOL 6TH SENSE WASHING

SOURCE: not spining

sounds like the lid switch.

SOURCE: i have a whirlpool 6th sense 3751 when i come to

I changed the carbon brushes on the motor and is now working fine

SOURCE: i have a whirlpool 6th sense awo3561/5 and it will

My husband fixed mine, it's simple remove the motor, both of the brushes are worn not making very good contact, clean the armature with fine sandpaper to make a good contact and replace the brushes if need. this worked for me. I hope this will help all the others with the same problem.

It appears your timer/main controller/CCU has failed in this instance.

For replacement parts - head on over to PartSelect.com or RepairClinic.com and enter in your full model number for a full parts listing.
I recommend both sites because ...


FixYa has no affiliation with either site - I have been using and recommending them for years - trouble free.

PartSelect has a great schematic database for locating the part on your unit and great "testimonials" for each part that often times includes HOW-TO information.
RepairClinic has pictures of each part they sell and also a great how-to and troubleshooting for basic repairs.


If your unit has never been serviced - there should still be an original service manual enclosed in plastic taped to the inside of the shell.
In the service manual are Error codes, maintenance procedures, and troubleshooting steps you can follow.


Anything too complicated or beyond your scope should be handled by a professional.

If you think you want to tackle the repair - and have gotten stuck on a step - reply to your question and I will be glad to help you out.




Thanks for using FixYa - a 4 THUMBS rating is appreciated for answering your FREE question
