Whirlpool gold series Model- wdt720padm2 Ser- f53707173 Type- 583-1 Will start cycle and fill with water and release pod but that’s it and will drain. Pod will still be laying in machine.
Here’s how to reset it and put it into diagnostic mode: https://fixitnow.com/wp/2007/02/13/how-t…
So this just happened to me and reading through these some of it makes sense. Got in touch with a tech- he said most machine will have a diagnostic cheat-sheet in the compartment under the unit- you have to take the foot plate off to find it ( convenient, right? ) there’s a list of error codes with the last (most recent) first. They confirmed the press any button but the start/on-off buttons rapidly hit them 123-123-123. He said to close the door and wait. For units with top mounted controls, watch the indicator light. It’ll start flashing for the first diagnostic, pause with 1 flash, then flash again (does this twice.) Then do a second set of flashes. Once it does each set twice, it’ll run a short cycle. Once complete it should show the error codes. If the cheat-sheet is where he said, you can find it on the list and go from there with how to approach the resolution.
