Ben has a confusing YouTube how to orient the new sensor on the board. If yours didn't work, and you ONLY watched his YouTube you probably installed it backward. Watch LAappliance guy-Redneck engineer. Anyway, after removing old sensor i had trouble removing solder from circuit board holes. Fortunatly i had some .030 diameter drill bits u sumply drilled out the soft solder. You can use paper clip wire or similiar. New sensor fit perfectly, a touch of the soldering gun the remaing solder instantly flowed to the pins. Been working PERFECTLY ever since. Be sure to watch YouTubes how to RECALIBRATE washer before starting, also no rugs, towels, blankets for first load, just T shirts etc.

After watching Ben's excellent video I was able to fix my washer with the ADP5 sensor replacement. The PCB was decent quality, so the removal and resoldering went smoothly. It was real hard getting my Cycle knob off, be sure to pull it straight out. I tried installing a socket in case it needed replacement again, but 8-pin wide sockets that fit the sensor's wide / flat pins were impossible to find. Thanks, Ben!

Ben’s Appliance and Junk is a life saver when it comes to appliance repair. A few weeks ago I’ve purchased this pressure sensor, installed it, and it works great. I was able to saved over $200.
