My Whirlpool Auto Load Sensing With Triple Spray Technology Clothes Washer is starting every load with what seems to be a rinse cycle. Instead of hearing the normal fill, agitate, and fill at the beginning of the cycle it starts with agitating, a rinse, and draining sounds. I think what happened was I took a load out too soon the other day. I was in a hurry and I thought that the cycle was finished and I removed the clothes. When in actuality it still had the extra rise to run. After that interrupted wash it now begins all cycles with what seems to be a rinse cycle. How do I reset my washer so it goes back to washing properly? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Replace your auto load water level switch W10248240

It's hard to tell by your description of the problem, but it sounds like it could be the timer If it's not running while in spin mode, or as simple as a belt if it's running and not spinning fast enough.

you could have a bad temperture sensor bad are water valve but first check an make sure the washer drain alway check your drain hose for clog are lint are trash in pump an last you could have a bad timer if you dont know how to check these call a applince service for repair ok

do you hear the motor running ,it will drain but no spin,this has no belt in it it's built just like a whirlpool washer because whirlpool owns maytag now and this washer has a motor coupling,i would check this first,do you know if the agitator is working or do you hear a grinding noise when it's running?watch this video and you don't have to disconnect the wire harness to the motor if you don't want to,i don't just put motor off to right side still connected

I've had the same problem..3 times in 2 years.
EVERY time I needed to relpace the switch sensor (behind the water temp knob.) It fixes the problem, but continues to happen. I am going to get a new NON Whirlpool washer today.

What is the complete model number of your unit?

I also have a Whirlpool top load Model # WtW57ESVW auto sensing load washer. I have it it almost a year and it has started to do exactly the same as described above. The repairman said today that it needed a "auto load sensing switch" which he has ordered for me.

Note - you can use your washer until the problem is fixed, but you have to make sure you manually stop the spin cycle prior to it just finishing, for that is the time period that the water starts to fill again.

I also noted that my local Lowes store does NOT sell this model anymore - probably too many customer complaints about this exact same problem. As soon as I showed the problem to the repairman this AM, he immediately diagnosed the issue - said that it was a recurring issue with this particular model.

Most noises from a washing machine occur during the rinse or spin cycle. If you hear loud thumping during the spin, the load of clothes may have become unbalanced. Stop the washer and redistribute the clothes, then re-start it. Repeat these steps if necessary.This will solve your problem.

I am returning the washer.

sounds like a lid switch problem. is there a clicking noise when you open and close the lid?
if not then the lid switch may need to be replaced; inexpensive.
this could also be caused by a bad timer.
also try a different speed for the rinse cycle, it may be a bad motor and it is not going into a certain speed. instead of gentle or slow speed try fast or normal, something like that.
