Model # WTW4816FW2 Sensor light blinking. I cleared machine then entered diagnostic phase and tried to determine fault/error. When I get to the point where the fault/error can be read, all I get is the sensor light blinking. All other lights remain off even if I go through the last 4 fault codes. Anyone know what the sensor light blinking in the fault code mode means? Thanks, in advance.

Hi @donley,
What is the problem with the washer?
In diagnostic mode a blinking sensing light only, indicates a No fault condition See F0 E0 code in 2nd image below and description of how the lights are interpreted in the 1st image below
F0 = sensing light on (F) + no other lights (0)
E0 = sensing light off (E) + no other lights (0)
So the blink pattern for an F0 E0 code would be that only the sensing light should be on for 0.5 seconds in every 2.5 seconds or on twice in 5 seconds to make it easier to tell
Maybe check that the other lights - wash, rinse, spin and done, all work when performing the UI Test mode - see p.4 & 5 in the tech sheet, just in case one of these is faulty.
Here are some images from the tech sheet for your model, showing the error codes and how they’re interpreted.

Thank you immensly. I re-did the diagnostic testing based on the instructions. When I turn the dial in the diagnostic sequence so that only the DONE light is lit (to enter the fault/error procedure), then push start, I get all lights blinking followed by no lights blinking. I am assuming this is a F-12 E-0 result. If so, I can not seem to find an F-12 explanation of what is wrong. Thank you, again. My home was in the direct line of fire of the tornado a few weeks ago. Tons of repair and I am just not getting to the washer.
All lights blinking = F15 i.e. sensing = F then wash = 8 + rinse = 4 + spin = 2+ done =1. As all are on it adds up to 15.
Then no lights = E0
There is also no F15 E0 code so I'm wondering if it is the control board.
if it failed because of the tornado and the washer was plugged in even if it was not operating at the time then if there were power outages, the control board may have been damaged.
It certainly seems like the software has been corrupted as it is giving non existent error codes or is not starting.
Try and see if you can reset it.
Also try the Main Control Troubleshooting test on p.12 of the tech sheet.
I have error codes for Sensor and Wash (not flashing) and Done flashing.
What does it mean please or the codes that I need to find the product I need to fix it.

If you washer is the same model as the one in the question, to check what the problem is when there's an F2 E1 error code, go to p.16 Test #4 Console and Indicators in the tech sheet linked in the Most Helpful Answer above, to see what to do.

Check the status of the diagnostic LED on the control board - see p.2 of the tech sheet and if it is off, go to TEST #1: Main Control on p.12 to see what to check,

Hi @toni8823,
An F2 E2 error code in your model indicates a loss of communication between the main control board and the UI/Encoder (user interface) board.
By turning off the power and then turning it back on again you are effectively resetting the boards.
Since you haven't said what the two technicians tried to do to fix the problem, initially disconnect the power to the washer and then gain access to the control panel and check the cable connection between the two boards to make sure that they're secure and also not corroded etc, Check both ends, i.e. board in face of control panel and main control board in the body of the control panel.
Here's a video that may help. The main control board connection can be seen at 1:44 minutes into the video.
If everything appears to be OK another option is to replace the boards, i.e. main control board (part # W11513246) and UI/encoder board (part # W11481116), one at a time to see if this resolves the problem.
The links are just to show the Whirlpool part number for the two boards in your washer. Perhaps find a supplier that accepts returns so as to minimize the cost to you if changing one board doesn't fix the problem.

What is the model number of the washing machine?
Have you tried unplugging the power to the machine for about 5 minutes and then plugging it back in again to see if this resets the machine?
