- Are you sick and tired of getting those annoying trouble codes such as F1, ul, lid, sud, F53, F58...and many more. Here is a self test for your hE washer that will first list all of the trouble codes then complete a nine step self diagnostic check of all of the washer features from add a garment to wash complete. It only takes five minutes and will save you tons of money by catching an issue early. What to do if you find an issue? Call 1-800-4-MYHOME for Sears Kennore Products and purchase a 1 year Master Protection Agreement for $220 which covers both your Oasis washer and dryer. When calling, Sears will ask if the washer is operating properly, you answer yes. NOTE THIS IS NOT AN ADVERTISEMENT I AM TRYING TO HELP PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE THE MPA AND WILL HAVE TO PAY UPWARDS OF $600. With the MPA you can call Sears as many times as you like to clean your washer, do a self check, and repair or replace your washer if it is unrepairable.

Don't take this down. You really showed me something interesting. Thank you for doing this and saving us all some money.
I have a Kenmore Oasis washer. I was getting the SD code and machine would stop. Right before I was going to buy a new washer, I saw your video and followed your suggestions. Amazing! $10 for Amazon parts and fixed!! Thank you so much for this. Everyone else said soap problem. Please leave this up for anyone else that might have same problem.. Thanks buddy... You are awesome.
This helped me a lot!! Thank you very much! You taking the time to make this only made you look like a person who cares about the rest of us who need some assistance and a little helpful video from nice guys who take the time, like you. So if that makes you a weirdo, may the world be full of your kind!
I’m a 63 year old woman who just fixed her washer thanks to you!
Please do not take this down. Your video was very helpful and saved me a lot of money!
Thank you so much! Great job.
Hey dude.... your video was very helpful. YOU saved me hundreds of dollars by sharing your knowledge. I had a dL, F32 and F82 error codes. As it turned out, the auto lid lock was not working. I just took a pocket knife and cleaned the lid lock unit and it works now. No need for the Sears repair guy to make a visit. Thanks again !!!
This video is 10 years old and today January 2022 ,still helps me to self diagnose my Kenmore Oasis. It did help. Thanks.
Very helpful video. Thanks for taking the time to do this. Believe me you are not being a weirdo you are being very articulate and taking time to explain the diagnostic procedure that is NOT contained in the owner's manual.
This video doesn't have nothing of lame, it is HELPFUL ! I really appreciate that you took some of your time to share this, I happen to have one of this washers! Thanks again, and it is great that you want to help others, God bless you!
7 years later and still helping folks out. Thanks! fixed the problem!
Thank YOU!!! You're NOT a weirdo. This washer drives me nuts with F1 and UL. You helped me so much!
What does F1 mean?
@@bobbytoca "F1" means the sensor that determines water level isn't working properly. F68 is essentially the same code indicating the sensor is returning "out of range" values. The "F1" usually occurs when the washer is initially filling the tub under the rotating basket with water at the beginning of a wash cycle, or when beginning a rinse and spin when refilling the tub after having drained it. Cycling the stop/start as if you're adding more clothes will usually get past this when there's more water in the tub. The sensor is an air pressure sensor on the control board with a clear plastic air hose that goes from it to an "air dome" on the bottom of the fixed tub. If there's a leak in the system, or if the hose is pinched, or if the air pressure sensor on the board is bad, you'll get the "F1" error. First step is ensuring the plastic air hose isn't clogged by blowing through it. That sometimes fixes the problem. The hose being pinched, cut or the air dome being damaged is quite rare unless other work on the washer has damaged them. Care must be taken during tub strut replacement (right rear strut in particular) to avoid damaging/pinching the hose. Even drive shaft and bearing replacement shouldn't harm the hose or air dome. If you can blow air through the hose, and that doesn't fix it, it's very nearly always the air pressure sensor on the control board which requires replacing the board module. A remanufactured board costs about $100, with new ones going for $150 and up to over $200, depending on who you buy it from. It's worth ensuring the hose is clear and not damaged first. The average DIY'er who can take care when unplugging and plugging in a half-dozen or so cables from the board can do the job; there are locking tabs holding cable connectors in place to prevent vibration from loosening them. You need to push gently on them to allow the cable to unplug.
The air pressure sensor itself can be removed and replaced on the control circuit board, but that's not a job for the average DIY'er (part costs about $25). Requires someone experienced with printed circuit board repair that can pull and replace integrated circuits on ESD sensitive boards without destroying the entire board by lifting/burning parts pads or ESD (electrostatic discharge) zapping ESD sensitive parts. ESDt damage can be done without even feeling it. A guy with a soldering gun who's soldered wires together isn't qualified to do the job, and you'll end up replacing the entire control board after wasting time and money on the part.
Not gay! You helped a struggling single dad here, THANK YOU very much!!!!
This video was a big help to me!!! Please leave it up for all the other clueless people like myself. THANKS AGAIN :-)
Hey bro... That was an AWESOME share of info...I had the F1 code stopping the washer and I went thru your system here and it fixed me right up. I appreciate it very much so!!!
Thank you a million times over, having trouble with an "Ld" error and have taken the washer apart, for the first time, to see if anything was clogging up the drain. I've had Sears out 3 times for the same "Ld" problem. 2 times there was a problem the other time and this time found nothing wrong. Wanted to get to the diagnostic mode so I could see if I reassembled everything correctly. Your video is the greatest for this - thanks for taking the time to make and post it.
SUPER helpful video! Just finished replacing the spindle and washer hub on this exact same model which now is about 10yrs old. The instructions to run the diagnostic test were no longer in the machine (and not on Sears website) so this video was a great find. Thanks for posting it. And im glad you never took it down as you suggested many years ago, Seems like alot of us benefitted from it!
Excellent video! Many of the new machines have this mode just to help troubleshoot, and it is a huge time-saver. The key is to know how to activate it, and this video is very valuable for that. I was just able to nail down two problems with my machine that are simple fixes, but I don' t have to call Sears out to take care of either one.
Note that if you have this style of washer with no spin speed button, you do the same thing with the water level button
10 years later and this just helped me with my Kenmore. Thank you so much!
Well worth watching and learning! I was going to buy a cheap machine but because of your excellent video I fixed my Oasis (which I've had for over 10 years) Thank you
OMG!! This video is not lame at all!!
You just made my day! I had alredy given up my washer, because I could't make it work and.. suddenly.. I found your video and: Voilà!! Now works great!
Thank you SO much for posting it and for your time!!
I really appreciate it! :)
Alprazolam, your video likely saved me $300 in repair bills! Last week my wife indicated there was a problem with the lid (the left bracket came off), and she thought this kept the washer from draining properly. I never knew how to run the diagnostics, and once I did, this pointed me to the source of the problem (F72). Turned out some material was lodged in the drain pump. Your video was a lifesaver!
This was amazing!!! You just saved my parents from buying a new washing machine. This was a BIG help!!! Thank you for posting!!
Thank you man!!!. You just saved us some hundreds of dollars for sure. We just ran this test as our last resource before calling the Sears technician and it seems that it worked as some kind of resetting. Our washer is working again. Thanks, Thanks Thanks!!!
Thank you for this really helpful video. I have just replaced the bearings and the motor stator (cracked in two places, roughly diagonally opposite one another, which I think must be a design problem). Total cost of parts, including a bearing press kit, was about $200. Another youtube video recommended running the diagnostics before placing the machine back in normal use. I.e. your video really helped me do that. From a Crazy Brit to a "a weirdo" it's really much appreciated. Thanks again.
hey this was a great video... you got my washer back working after i had taken it apart thinking my pump was clogged and whining alot... i had no lights and nothing worked until i held down the spin button for five seconds and the lights came on and now i am running it thru the quick wash... still has the whining noise... probably need a new impeller... but you saved me calling a repair person... and i will run this whining little machine till the pump impeller fails or fixes itself ha ha ... please keep the video up because i know you will help more people and put more up...you are doing a wonderful service ... thanks very much !
Thanks for leaving this video up. Almost 10 years later, It worked for me! THANK YOU!!!
Thanks so much for posting this video! I'm am dealing with the Ul, Fl or whatever these obnoxious codes are....I'm going to try this as soon as my washer has stopped! I hope it helps.
Thanks so much!
I am very happy to have this video. I have a similar issue I picked up a wash machine off the curb. I am newly moved in house. I’m looking for a washer and dryer so this helped me and no it wasn’t in Lane video and I am visually impaired and I thankful for this video.
Thank you so much. I watched the video and realize my washer was not snipping it was stuck. So I stuck my hand in an forced it and it started to spin. Fixed!!! Don't know why it was stuck but it saved me a service call. Thank you.
I cannot thank you enough! It worked for us. We were getting an LF error code. It would just stop at 38 minutes. Read some trouble shooting tips and tried everything i could find but it didn't help. Ran the washer through your suggested cycle and "wha la" Im on our third load now. Thanks a bunch!
Thank you so much for the information . This was one step the repairman wouldn't show me . My warranty is now out and my washer is acting up. Again thank you !!!!
My washer is still broken but your commentary cracked me up so I don't feel as irritated as earlier! Lol!
Great Video.... We have this Washer and after 8 years, it started to act up. I reset it by pulling the plug overnight. Then that snapped it out of the F Error. I then researched it on you tube and listened to your video. I will try the self test. This is the kind of Video that saves the consumer money. Great Video!!!!!
You are not a weirdo. Spent hours reading how to get this washer to run again. No where in the book does it say to hold the spin cycle down. thank you !!!!!! I was crazy to think I had to pay someone to come here and then they would just try to sell you a new washer. THANK YOU!!!! YOU JUST MADE MY WEEKEND MUCH BETTER.
This helped me out. Trying to help out my neighbor who has this washer. Thanks for posting this. It was GREAT!!!
Please don’t take this video down, for the past couple of years this video helped me multiple time, is not lame at all! Thank you!! 🙏🏽
Great Job. Thank you so much,, I did not have any hope to fix it,, SEARS wanted a $100 just to diagnose the problem,, before watching your video , then I was able to fix it after that ,, again thank you so very much.
Thanks for posting bud! Just helped my 72 year old mom out. Blessing!!🙏
You not only saved me money, but my sanity....ty sooo much for posting this! I really didn't want to contact Sears, as they rip you off. I did contact a repair man and he said it was probably the motor and that I should junk it. Glad I didn't listen. So again, TY!!!!
Hey, you aren't weird and as a matter of fact clairvoyant! You made this video to help others and you have done just that for me. Many thanks!
Thank you for this video! My washer is showing the UL error code. I remembered the last repair guy reset it, but I couldn't remember how he did it. Your video was definitely a kind and worthwhile thing for you to do. :)
Dude... Very helpful. You are doing MANY homeowners a huge favor by doing this!
Great idea to tell people they can test the machine by themselves. My 24/7 washing son just showed me it was making a motorized pumping sound when he hit start or stop. It’s testing itself
Thanks for doing this. I have this model and love it but at 12 years, I can hear the spin cycle upstairs. I clean it monthly with vinegar and baking soda....never had an odor. However, the noise is leading me to believe the bearings? are shot! Dryer still working very well. You are not a weirdo . I was looking for the capacity size of my washer when I came across this....very helpful.
I called Sears here in Onatio, Canada to ask about the Protection Agreement and the lady said that before they issue the agreement, they have to send out a technician to make sure that the item is currently in good shape and running normally. Thanks for your video....very helpful. I just ran the tests on my machine and in the morning I will run the machine to see if it helped.
Thank you so very much for posting this. My machine was giving me F51 code.
found this video and tried it. Now my machine is working...for the time being anyway. So Thanks again. Big Help!
Thank you, please don't take your video down. You put this video up in 4/11, I just saw it 11/2019 as I am looking for solutions for my Kenmore Oasis 2009 model with uL code. You had the solution. Surely it will help someone else, even 100's with the same error code and save them money as it did for me with no warranty insurance because of the age of the machine. Never had any problems with it until now. Thank a million for your video.
9 years later - still helpful! Thank u totally what i needed 2 see
Many thanks for this video. I just fixed my Kenmorer Elite Washer. The basket was not floating. I removed the agitator and lubricated the shaft. After two days installed the agitator and ran the automatic diagnostic. The washer is now working perfectly.
Thank you for not deleting this video. You just helped a 71 year old Grandma fix her washer. ❤
Dude you definitely showed me something I ordered a new lid latch it did the same thing with my old latch and the one I just ordered what u showed me on ur video reset my washer and running good as new I appreciate it dude I know what you talking about u saved me a lot of money thanks again dude!!
Great video - it was a big help. I cleared coins from the drain pump, and this self test diagnostic was necessary to reset the machine and get it going. It worked perfectly after removing the coins and running the diagnostic. THANK YOU!
Please NEVER delete this. It tossed the code I needed and so far all is well. THANK YOU ☺️
Dude you were a life saver man.. Sears was gonna charge me like 500 to fix it... Thank you so so so much
Thank You so much I was getting really aggravated with the uL code and getting caught in the final rinse. Ran the test in your video and it's working again. We've had to replace two pumps on this thing in the first year, but warranty is out and was hoping to not have to buy a new one already. Thanks Again!
Thank you for NOT taking this video down!! Very helpful for me.
A lady got rid of washer and dryer for $50 to me cause she thought it they where broke i ran this test and fixed the washer the dryer was fine whe was getting the UL code. Thanks you for this great video best fifty bucks ever spent
This was very helpful. I have the same type of washer and like you, paid Sears more money than necessary to come and fix it. I'm replacing my own pump that I ordered off Amazon for $70. Sears was going to charge me $300 for parts and repair. Thanks again!
So glad I found your video! We fixed our washer! You are a great teacher!
Thank you for your video. This helped with an issue o was having with the "add a garment" light stating on and would not agitate clothes. Appreciate you posting this. Again, thanks so much.
So true. The frustrating part of the recall was many of the people who are elegible for a free ECU and control unit did not receive the recall notice due to a clerical error. Your advice is fantastic. Totally call with your serial number ready and inquire about the recall, even if your machine is working fine. You're entitled to a free replacement regardless of the operation of the machine.
Please do not take down. This has helped me 9 years later!! Thank you!
This has saved me so many times. Coming back to it a 3rd time over the last two years
Thank you for posting this video...not lame at all! I bought this type washer used and I don't have a manual so I have been trying to figure out why the machine is not draining and came across this useful information to at least run a diagnostic.
THANK YOU SOoooo much for this!
Just helped a family of 5, housemom fix washer!!!!!🎉🎉
This was awesome. Works for Whirlpool Cabrio HE machines too. Just diagnosed the recirc pump, located it at Dey appliance for $113, purchased and replaced in 15 min. Thanks for saving me $250!
Wow!! Thank you so much. I was gone buy a new washer because it kept saying f1 then cut off over and over. So I did the step by step and it worked. You saved me 500.00 Thank you so.
This video just now helped me get my washer going again! So glad you left it up!
Don’t take it down! It helped me so much! My washer works again! Yay! Thank you for this video!👌😃
Alprazolam,
Thanks for the vid. I know you joke about it being long and lame, but it is actually helpful. A friend just gave me one of these washers for free. So before I go moving out my old 1973 Kenmore and hauling this thing in place, I've been searching reviews and videos to find out a little about it. I appreciate your time doing this.
I want to say thanks for this video.i had this problem today and a reset of mine like you done saved me a repair bill.
Last nite I ran the nine step self diagnostic. It worked just as videoed. I will wash clothes tonight and see if the F1 code is gone. Thanks for the video.
Every /DIY/ out there thanks you. I am doing these steps as I watch this video. I do not necessarily have a issue, but its good to know how to do this when I do. I have its twin dryer right here next to me. I am going to play with it next.
Thank you. I didn't know there a self test! I combed the manual but don't remember seeing anything like that. Very cool!
Thank you so much, this video was GREAT !!!! it helped me so much, the repair guys told me that my LF Code was due to the motor and it was going to cost a lot to complete the repair, but after your video and a little research the LF code i guess is due to the lack of water pressure.. Well a few days ago i had the shocks arms replaced and i believe the repair guys turned off the water to the machine and did not turn the valve back on.
Great video. This is my exact machine and I want to run a test before I go through the trouble of pulling it away from the wall to open the top. Thanks much!!
I just found your video and wow wow wow thank you so much for the information. I am so glad you didn't take it down. THANK you for sharing this information.
Thank you for this video, taught me something that I didn’t know honestly! Don’t take it down, great job 👍🏽
Glad you didn't delete this video. It's the only thing that worked to get my washer going again. Thank you.
Thankyou for the video. It helped me restart my washer! I saved the video in my playlist, so please don't erase it. Just incase I need it again!
Awesome!! Thanks so much for this video, I've been trying to find something like this and BOOM here it is. Appreciate your time and assistance this saved me a pretty penny.
Thanks for this video. We were getting the F1 error code. We changed our hoses and were still getting the F1 error code. So we ran this diagnostics and it cleared the F1 error code and fixed our washer. Saved us a big service call bill. Thanks!
Thank you for the lengthy video, I will try mine today. It constantly gets unleveled taking 5 hours to wash one load. Towels are starting to be a huge issue from 1-2 added to a load to a whole load of towels, Im so hoping this is an easy fix. God Bless people like you, thank you for sharing.
This is a great video. Never take it down. So helpful and your are hilarious!
Thanks for NOT taking this down. I always try to fix things myself first.
Thanks for the vid, Probably saved me $$$. My washer was out of cycle and this got it back in. The only dfferences were the code that comes up after pressiing Start and I had to press it 2x. Thanks again.
Thanks for posting. New to the Kenmore Elite, this gave me some great background to how it works.
Wow I learned something thank you so much, single mom trying to save where I can! 🙏 you are not a weirdo you're awesome thnx!!
I REALLY found this video HELPFUL thank you. Mine is the same and the door latch doesn’t lock; and this doesn’t really happen often to me but when I put laundry detergent; and barely anything into the water port and it just doesn’t work.
I agree please don't take this down. This was extremely helpful! Thank you!
really liked quadfloppers idea to stabiized tub with 2 inch foam on all four sides and the other comments and your video was great... thanks again...! ... really
I had the error code F1 and uL constantly giving me grief.. was about to look for another machine.
This was, a great save! Thank you!!
Was getting the F51 error replaced that sensor still wouldn't work. Followed this test method ran through all the cycles must have reset because now working fine. Had a repair service coming saved the money. THANX for this video.
YOU'RE NOT A WIERDO, YOUR A HERO! THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH. THERE IS NO WAY I WOULD KNOW THIS.... THANKS AGAIN!
Excellent video. Never knew there was a diagnostic mode I could enter !
Dont take it down, you helped many. Thank you so much
I just replaced the EC unit in mine and needed to do a post repair calibration. Your video was perfect, thanks for posting!
I bought mine about 10 years ago and my EC board gave out after 2 years. Called Sears Repair and the guy came out and said their EC boards were defective and they know about their bad boards. They replaced it for free. You might have the same problem.
Thank you. We need more people like you! I'm going to do this with my moms washer.
Leave it up please! You were a huge help. Now I can run through diagnostics before calling Sears and maybe they can bring a part with them instead of the usual "we will deliver it to your house then you call the service guy to return and install it two weeks later". They have driven me nuts over the years with their inefficiency. I could fix things myself but am disabled now so I can only do light quick repairs. Hope you're not so hard on yourself anymore, never worry what others are thinking because most people think good and kindly of others, justidiots are vocal and mean.
Very informative video. Keep it posted. It has helped me figure out some issues I have had with my washer. Thanks!
So grateful for your efforts...saved me a lot of money...thank you.
This was so much help, my machine started doing this when i pulled the wire off the sylenooid for the fabric softner, I apreciate it, thanks
