How to Fix SPIN LIGHT FLASHING Error (Step-by-Step)

Unplug the washer from the electrical outlet to ensure safety.
Turn off the hot and cold water supplies and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
Carefully tilt the washer forward to access the bottom panel. You may need a helper for this.
Locate the shift actuator, which is a small motor assembly connected to the transmission.
Disconnect the wire harness from the actuator and remove the mounting screws holding it in place.
Install the new shift actuator, secure it with the screws, and reconnect the wire harness.
Carefully tilt the washer back to its upright position, turn the water back on, and plug the appliance in.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
