This test is basically a one-stop test sequence, which means once you enter factory mode or service mode and start the program, it goes all the way through the test procedure.

Please follow the steps below to learn how to put a Whirlpool washer in diagnostic mode:

• First, make sure the drum is completely empty with no clothing in it.
• Then, please shut the door.
• You will need to press the on-off button, and this will illuminate the display.
• Then you need to work with button 1 and button 4. You need to press these buttons together, and then, while holding button 1 down, you need to continue pressing three more times on button 4 to enter the test mode procedure.
• Then it will enter the service mode.
• You will also be able to turn the dial between factory mode and service mode. Factory mode records the actual error that occurs during the cycle, and service mode will show you the last recorded errors that were on the system.
