Frequently Asked Questions
•Where is the bowl position sensor located on my Admiral washer?
The bowl position sensor is typically located near the base of the wash bowl, often mounted on the frame or housing. Refer to the washer's service manual for the exact location and a diagram.
•How do I test the bowl position sensor with a multimeter?
Set your multimeter to the resistance (Ohms) setting. Disconnect the sensor from the wiring harness. Place the multimeter probes on the sensor terminals. With the bowl engaged, the resistance should be a specific value (e.g., close to 0 Ohms for a closed switch). With the bowl disengaged, the resistance should be different (e.g., infinite resistance for an open switch). Refer to the service manual for the correct resistance values.
•How do I clear the error code after repairing the issue?
Some Admiral washers will automatically clear the error code after the fault is resolved. Others require you to enter a diagnostic mode (see the expert tip for accessing service mode) and manually clear the code. Disconnecting the power for a few minutes may also clear the code, but it's not always reliable.
