Clean-washer reminders and clean-cycle codes (CL, rL, F0E7)
These are reminders or load-detected messages, not faults. Run the clean cycle with an empty drum.
Hot and cold water reversed (HC, F0E4, 4C2)
The hoses are swapped at the faucet or at the washer. Swap them; no parts needed.
Top-load not agitating (fills and drains OK)
On older Whirlpool/Kenmore direct-drive top-loads, fill-and-drain-OK but no agitate/spin is the classic broken motor coupler. On newer models, look at the shift actuator/clutch, lid lock and motor.
Whirlpool/Maytag VMW top-load: F7E5 / shifter or drive fault
The control did not see the shifter or basket move as expected. Check mechanics and wiring first; the shifter (with its internal position sensor) is the most common replacement.
