my whirlpool washer - model # WTW57ESVW purchased in July 2009 starts agitating immediately before the machine is filled..............while washing it makes alot of clunking noises and on the regular cycle will not spin completely..........does spin completely on the light cycle.

thanks for your help

Hi Beth,

I haven’t run into this problem in the field on this model. I am surprised that I haven’t because it seems to be a common problem for people on here and other forums across the web. Most of the time they have to replace the sensing switch.




Thank you,
