  If your Whirlpool Washer won't start a cycle, it could be due to a few reasons. First, if 'LS' is flashing, try opening and closing the lid to clear the fault code and restart the cycle. Also, check the lid switch for proper contact opening and closing. It could also be due to loose harness connections at the control board(s), so ensure those are secure. Finally, the “Start” touchpad might be faulty, so check its continuity.

How to troubleshoot Whirlpool CALYPSO WashMotion GVW9959K-0 Washer that won’t power up?

  Emily MilesAug 22, 2025
  If your Whirlpool Washer isn't powering up, there are several things you can check. First, ensure that the washer is receiving the correct 120VAC electrical supply by checking the voltage supply to the washer. Next, inspect the AC cord for any breaks by checking for voltage at the power cord connection to the line filter. Then, check the line filter itself by checking voltage into and out of the line filter. Finally, the machine control board may be the issue; with the washer off but connected to the AC outlet, measure the AC voltage between Pins 4 and 2 at connector P16.

Why is my Whirlpool CALYPSO WashMotion GVW9959K-0 vibrating so much?

  If your Whirlpool Washer is vibrating, there are a few things to inspect. First, make sure all shipping materials have been removed and that the washer is properly leveled with adequate floor support. Next, check the rear leveling legs for correct installation and free movement. Ensure the front legs are level and that the lock nuts are wrench-tight against the washer cabinet. Also, inspect the balance ring for cracks or looseness on the basket; if cracked and not holding water, replace it and ensure it fits properly on the spin basket. Finally, check the basket drive block to ensure it is tightly fitted on the spin basket, keyed to the spin tube, and that the spanner nut is tightened.

Why does the motor in my Whirlpool CALYPSO WashMotion GVW9959K-0 overheat?
- J
  Jaclyn Lopez PhDSep 7, 2025
  If your Whirlpool Washer's motor is overheating, check the drive motor windings for proper resistances and inspect the wiring connectors. Also, check for any mechanical binding that may be hindering the drive mechanism's free movement. Finally, ensure that the voltage supply is adequate by not using an extension cord and verifying 120 VAC at the outlet. If the voltage drops when the washer starts, contact an electrician.
