GENERAL INFORMATION
General Theory of Operation
INTRODUCTION
The new Whirlpool & Maytag Direct Drive, Top Load Washer
represents industry-leading innovation with the new improved
direct drive system. The previous generation direct drive
washer operated using a floating basket to assist in the
switching between spin and agitate modes. The new washer
operates with a clutch coil system that provides reliable,
immediate, and smooth shifting between the various wash
modes.
NEW COMPONENTS
Sleek Under Glass User Interface — the Whirlpool washer features a new sleek under glass capacitive touch user interface
that asks “what’s being washed” followed by “how you want to wash.” First select a cycle from the “What to Wash” (Mixed,
Whites, Casuals, Jeans, Towels, Delicates, ActiveWear, and Bulky Sheets) and then select the “How to Wash” (Normal, ColorLast,
HeavyDuty, Oxi Sanitize, Deep Water, Cold Wash, and Quick). This new and improved input will help the customer achieve the
best combination cycle available for the type of items being washed. What to Wash
How to Wash
Figure 1 - User Interface with Intuitive Touch Controls
Basket — the Whirlpool & Maytag washer has an extra
large basket capacity of 6.2 cu.ft. Other than size, the major
difference from the previous model is that this basket does not
have a flotation chamber to assist with changing between spin
and agitate modes.
Motor — The motor is an electronically commutated directdrive 3-phase BPM (Brushless Permanent Magnet) variable
speed design that moves the impeller and spins the basket
without the use of a transmission. The motor is comprised of
a stator and rotor that are attached to the drive assembly. The
motor direction and speed is controlled by the ACU (Appliance
Control Unit) or main control.

GENERAL INFORMATION
General Theory of Operation (continued)
NEW COMPONENTS (Continued)
Clutch Coil and Clutch Assembly — the clutch coil on
the washer is a simple electromagnetic coil, which when
energized, pulls the clutch into contact with the rotor. The
drive assembly contains an internal and external drive shaft.
The internal shaft, which is connected directly to the rotor,
agitates the impeller; whereas the external shaft, which is
Clutch
directly connected to the clutch, is able to spin the basket.
Therefore, when the clutch coil is energized, the resulting
magnetic field pulls the clutch out to engage with the rotor,
resulting in spinning both the basket and impeller together.
When the coil is de-energized, the clutch disengages the rotor
and the spring returns the clutch to its home position. The
motor now controls only the impeller.

Automated Detergent Dispenser (Load & Go™ System) —
Skip adding detergent to every load with the Load & Go™
system. The Load & Go™ cartridge holds up to a month’s
worth of detergent so you can simply fill it and forget it.
During the wash cycle, the Control signals the Bulk Dispense
Pump (via the Relay Expansion Board) to pump detergent
from the Load & Go cartridge to the Single Dose detergent
dispenser. Next, the detergent water valve is activated and
flushes the detergent into the basket.

DIAGNOSTICS & TROUBLESHOOTING
For Service Technician Use Only
Diagnostic Guide
Before servicing, check the following:
„„ Make sure there is power at the wall outlet.
„„ Has a household fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped?
Was a regular fuse used? Inform customer that a timedelay fuse is required.
„„ Are both hot and cold water faucets open and water
supply hoses unobstructed?
„„ Make sure drain hose is not sealed into drain pipe, and
that there is an air gap for ventilation. Ensure drain
height is between 39” (991 mm) and 8’ (2.4 m) above
the floor.
„„ All tests/checks should be made with a VOM (voltohm-milliammeter) or DVM (digital-voltmeter) having a
sensitivity of 20,000 Ω per volt DC or greater.
„„ Resistance checks must be made with washer
unplugged or power disconnected.
„„ IMPORTANT: Avoid using large diameter probes when
checking harness connectors as the probes may
damage the connectors upon insertion.
„„ Check all harnesses and connections before replacing
components. Look for connectors not fully seated,
broken or loose wires and terminals, or wires not
pressed into connectors far enough to engage metal
barbs.
„„ A potential cause of a control not functioning is
corrosion or contamination on connections. Use an
ohmmeter to check for continuity across suspected
connections.
„„ When removing AC power, allow time for the main
control (ACU) to completely power down. Verify this
by examining the diagnostic LED – it should be solidly
off. At a minimum, leave AC power removed for one
minute.
Diagnostic LED – Main Control
A troubleshooting tool has been implemented onto the main
control board—a diagnostic LED (see Figure 1). LED Flashing –
The Control is detecting correct incoming line voltage and the
processor is functioning. LED OFF or ON – Control malfunction.
Perform TEST #1: Main Control (ACU), page 3-4, to verify main
control functionality.
Self Diagnostic Mode
These tests allow factory or service personnel to test and
verify all inputs to the main control board. You may want to
do a quick and overall checkup of the washer with these tests
before going to specific troubleshooting tests.
Activating Service Diagnostic Mode
1. Be sure the washer is in standby mode (plugged in with all
indicators off).
2. Select any three (3) buttons (except POWER) and follow
the steps below, using the same buttons (remember the
buttons and the order that the buttons were pressed):
Within 8 seconds,
• Press and Release the 1st selected button,
• Press and Release the 2nd selected button,
• Press and Release the 3rd selected button;
• Repeat this 3 button sequence 2 more times.
3. If this test mode has been entered successfully, all
indicators on the console will be illuminated for 5 seconds
with “888” showing in the three-digit display and a tone
will sound. If there are no saved fault codes, all indicators
on the console will momentarily turn off, and then only
the seven segment display will come back on and display
“888”. Upon entry to Service Diagnostic mode, all cycles
and options reset to factory default.
NOTE: The Service Diagnostic mode will time out after
10 minutes of user inactivity, or shut down if AC power is
removed from the washer.
Unsuccessful Activation
If entry into diagnostic mode is unsuccessful, refer to the
following indication and action:
Indication: None of the indicators or display turn on.
Action: Select any cycle.
¾¾ If indicators come on, try to change the function for
the three buttons used to activate the diagnostic test
mode. If any button is unable to change the function,
something is faulty with the button, and it will not
be possible to enter the diagnostic mode using that
button. Replace the user interface.
¾¾ If no indicators come on after selecting the cycle, go to
TEST #1: Main Control (ACU), page 3-4.
Activation with Saved Fault Codes
If there is a saved fault code, it will be flashing in the display.
Review the Fault/Error Codes table on pages 2-8 to 2-11 for
the recommended procedure. If there is no saved fault code,
“888” will be displayed.

NOTE: The Service Diagnostic mode must be activated before
entering the Key Activation & Encoder Test; see procedure on
page 2-2.
Load and Test Cycle Selection Procedure
Entry Procedure
Press and release the 1st button used to activate Service
Diagnostic mode. The following test will be available:
DIAGNOSTIC: Key Activation & Encoder Test
All indicator lights and display segments will be lit at the start
of this test. Pressing each button will turn off its corresponding
indicator(s) or display segment and sound a beep.
NOTE: A second press of the POWER button while in Key
Activation & Encoder Test or pressing and holding the 1st
button used to enter Service Diagnostic mode exits the Service
Diagnostic mode and returns the washer to standby mode.
Service Test Mode
NOTE: The Service Diagnostic mode must be activated before
entering Service Test Mode; see procedure on page 2-2.
NOTE: If, at any point, the user presses the POWER button
during Service Test Mode, the washer exits to standby mode.
Active Fault Code Display in Service Test Mode
If the display begins flashing in the format F#, then E# while
in Service Test Mode, it is displaying an active fault code (see
Fault And Error Codes charts on pages 2-8 to 2-11). Active fault
codes are codes that are currently detected. Only one active
fault code can be displayed at a time.
Entry Procedure
To enter Service Test Mode, press and release the 2nd button
used to activate the Service Diagnostic mode.
Loads, the Service Diagnostic Verification Cycle, and the
Calibration Cycles are all assigned function numbers. These are
defined in the chart on the following page.
The seven segment display will indicate the current selected
function number.
Use the Soil Level and Temperature buttons or the cycle
selector knob (Maytag) to select a function number. The Soil
Level button or turning the cycle selector knob clockwise will
increment through the function numbers and the Temperature
button or turning the cycle selector knob counterclockwise will
decrement through the function numbers.
Commanding Functions ‘On’ and ‘Off’ in Service
Test Mode
With the desired function number on the seven segment
display, the function can be toggled on and off by pressing the
START button. Each press will toggle the state of the function
from ‘off’ to ‘on’ or from ‘on’ to ‘off’. If the selected function
is currently active (commanded ‘on’), the seven segment
display will flash the function number at a 1 Hz rate (1 flash
per second). If the load is currently commanded ‘off’, the
seven segment display will show the function number without
flashing. NOTE: Activating any of the spin or agitate functions
will result in functions 10–14 reporting their status as ‘on’
because reported status is based on motor motion being
commanded.
Failure to Turn Load On Indication
If the number of functions (pumps, valves, and motor) allowed
on at the same time or the conditions to actuate the function
are not correct, the display will turn off momentarily and a
tone will sound. NOTE: There is a limit of four functions ‘on’ at
a time.

After performing voltage measurements,
disconnect power before servicing.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death or electrical shock.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect power before servicing.
Replace all parts and panels before operating.
Failure to do so can result in death or
electrical shock.
Voltage Measurement Safety Information
When performing live voltage measurements, you must do the following:
„„ Verify the controls are in the off position so that the appliance does not start when energized.
„„ Allow enough space to perform the voltage measurements without obstructions.
„„ Keep other people a safe distance away from the appliance to prevent potential injury.
„„ Always use the proper testing equipment.
„„ After voltage measurements, always disconnect power before servicing.
IMPORTANT: Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Sensitive Electronics
ESD problems are present everywhere. Most people begin to feel an ESD discharge at approximately
3000V. It takes as little as 10V to destroy, damage, or weaken the main control assembly. The new
main control assembly may appear to work well after repair is finished, but a malfunction may occur
at a later date due to ESD stress.
„„ Use an anti-static wrist strap. Connect wrist strap to green ground connection point or unpainted metal in the appliance
-OR
„„ Touch your finger repeatedly to a green ground connection point or unpainted metal in the
appliance.
„„ Before removing the part from its package, touch the anti-static bag to a green ground
connection point or unpainted metal in the appliance.
„„ Avoid touching electronic parts or terminal contacts; handle electronic control assembly by edges only.
„„ When repackaging main control assembly in anti-static bag, observe above instructions.

Component Testing
TESTING WASHER COMPONENTS FROM THE
CONTROL
Before testing any of the components, perform the following
checks:
• The most common cause for mis-diagnosed control
failure is poor connections. Therefore, disconnecting,
inspecting and reconnecting wires will be necessary
throughout test procedures.
• All tests/checks should be made with a VOM or DVM
having a sensitivity of 20,000 ohms-per-volt DC, or
greater.
• Check all connections before replacing components,
looking for broken or loose wires, failed terminals, or
wires not pressed into connectors far enough.
• IMPORTANT: Voltage checks must be made with all
connectors attached to the boards.
• Resistance checks must be made with power cord
unplugged or power disconnected, and with wiring
harness or connectors disconnected from the control.
The testing procedures in this section may require the use
of needle probes to measure voltage. Failure to use needle
probes may damage the connectors.
IMPORTANT: Whenever the washer is tilted for service or

1. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
2. Remove console to access main control.
3. Verify that ALL connectors are inserted all the way into the
main control.
4. Plug in washer or reconnect power.
5. With a voltmeter set to AC, connect black probe to J12-3
(Neutral) and red probe to J12-1 (L1).
¾¾ If 120 VAC is present, go to step 6.
¾¾ If 120 VAC is not present, check the AC power cord for
continuity (See Wiring Diagram, page 3-3.)
6. Is the “Diagnostic LED” flashing or continuously ‘ON’ or
‘OFF’? (See Figure 1, on page 3-5 for LED location.)
¾¾ Flashing: (+5 VDC present and micro operating)
proceed to Key Activation & Encoder Test, page 2-3.
¾¾ ON: (+5 VDC present but micro failure) continue to step
9.
¾¾ OFF: (+5 VDC missing or micro failure) proceed to step
7.
7. Check if console UI is affecting the main control DC supply.
a. Unplug washer or disconnect power, and wait for the
diagnostic LED to turn off.
b. Remove connector J18 from main control.
c. Plug in washer or reconnect power.
d. Recheck the Diagnostic LED per step 6.
¾¾ If the diagnostic LED is now flashing, go to Test #4: Keys
and Encoders, “None of the indicators light up”, step 4,
page 3-10. If diagnostic LED is not flashing, continue to
step 8.
8. Perform voltage checks inside header J18 on the board –
do not short pins together.
a. With a voltmeter set to DC, connect black probe to J18-3
(Circuit Gnd) and red probe to J18-1 (+5 VDC).
¾¾ If DC voltage is not present, go to step 9.
¾¾ If the DC voltage is present, but the diagnostic LED is
not flashing, continue to step 9.
9. Main Control has malfunctioned.

DANGER
FOR SERVICE TECHNICIAN
FOR SERVICE TECHNICIA
Electrical Shock Hazard
Only authorized technicians should perform
diagnostic voltage measurements.
After performing voltage measurements,
disconnect power before servicing.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death or electrical shock.
TEST #3 Drive System
of the
Pre-Test Procedure
1. Activate Service Diagnostic Test Mode, retrieve any fault/
error codes, and clear them. If the displayed error codes
are F7E3, F7E4, F7E5, F7E6, F7E7, F7E9, there is likely a
motor or shifter related issue.
2. Once the error codes are cleared, enter Service Test Mode
and run the Fast Agitate test; if the motor runs after
15–20 seconds, there is not a problem with the motor,
control, or motor wiring harness connections.
3. While in Service Test Mode, try to get the washer to spin;
if the motor hums briefly and then shuts down, go to Fault
Code Display Mode and check for fault codes.
TEST #3a: Drive System – Shifter
This test checks connections, shifter coil, and harness.
NOTE: Lid must be closed and locked for the motor to agitate
or spin.

IMPORTANT: Whenever the washer is tilted for service or
troubleshooting, drain water from the basket, remove any
load items in the basket, and, if equipped, remove bulk

Functional Check:
1. Check the shifter and electrical connections by performing
both the Spin and Agitate tests under Service Test Mode
on page 2-4. The following steps assume that this step
was unsuccessful.
2. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
3. The motor and shifter should be able to be turned
independently of each other. If they are locked together,
there is a shifter slider issue. Proceed to step 12.
NOTE: Rotating the impeller quickly can cause the UI to
attempt to power up, and may cause audible feedback
and the main control to power up and apply braking
torque to the impeller.
¾¾ If basket and impeller turn freely, go to step 4.
¾¾ If basket and/or impeller do not turn freely, determine
what is causing the mechanical friction or lockup.

properly. Check harness and harness connections.
If Service Data LED does not illuminate, either press POWER
to turn on/off the washer, or unplug the washer and then
plug it back in. If Service Data LED does not illuminate upon
re-application of power, the UI is not powered properly. Check
harness for continuity, harness connections, and ACU.
If Service Button Sounds/Control Lock LED does not
illuminate, either press POWER to turn on/off the washer, or
unplug the washer and then plug it back in. If Service Button
Sounds/Control Lock LED still does not illuminate:

IMPORTANT REASSEMBLY NOTES
REASSEMBLY NOTE: When you reinstall the rotor over the
stator assembly, do not grip the rotor housing around the
rear edge with your fingers. The magnets around the rotor
housing are very strong, and they will pull the rotor into the
stator coil magnets when the rotor magnets come within
their magnetic field. Keep your fingers along the outside of
the rotor housing and away from the rear edge when you are
installing it on the stator assembly.
Clutch Spring
Figure 1
Removing the Drive Assembly
1. Use a 1/4” socket to remove the hex-head screw securing
the ground wire to the drive assembly (see Figure 2).
2. Use a 10mm socket to remove the four (4) screws securing
the drive assembly to the tub. (The bottom right screw
also secures the connector clip to the drive assembly.) The
drive assembly can now be pulled away from the tub.
NOTE: If the drive assembly cannot easily be pulled from
the tub, it may be necessary to tap on the drive assembly
from inside the tub to loosen the drive from the tub.
REASSEMBLY NOTE: Any time the rotor bolt is
removed, Loctite® adhesive (Threadlocker Blue
242® or similar adhesive) must be reapplied,
otherwise the bolt will eventually work itself
loose resulting in a second call.
REASSEMBLY NOTE: The four (4) drive assembly screws are
threaded into the bottom of the plastic tub (see Figure 2
above). Using a power driver to tighten the screws may strip
the holes. Tighten only by hand until very snug.
REASSEMBLY NOTE: The harness guide routes the harness away
from moving drive components (rotor). Be sure to reinstall the
guide anytime it is removed.
