LG Washer WT4870CW - Drain pump is on even when washer is turned off

Yesterday after the cycle was finished and the washer was emptied, the drain pump started to run. We turned off the washer and it kept running. When the unit was plugged back in the pump immediately started to run again, even with the washer turned off. I started a quick wash cycle to re-set the unit, however the drain pump was still on and pumped the water out as fast as it was being put into the drum.

LG support says that this is the first time they have heard of such an issue.

Can you please offer any thoughts on what to look within the unit?

Thanks for your time!!

Whirlpool duet wfw9150 wont Drain. Pump ok

Hi, I have a duet (second one) I replaced the pump mechanism on this a bit ago. Yesterday the washer was ready to drain and it starting the dreaded beep. The wash light blinked once then once again. So F1E1 error. I drained the washer and tested the pump knowing this is an issue with these. Bench tested the pump with 120V and it was fine. It seems I have a Control board error. When I try to start the drain cycle it clicks the door then clicks under on the MCU but the pump does not start. I think it is the MCU or relays, just looking for some guidance.

THANKS!!!

GE wcvh6600hww washer won't fill

My washer won't fill with water. I've check the screens and they are clean. Once I push start my washer makes noises that it always does when it's about to start a load, but never fills up with any water.

whirlpool ultimate care 2 stops midway.. not lid switch

My whirlpool ultimate care 2 stops midway. From internet searching I was sure it would be the lid switch so for a test I by passed it. Well it still stopped. All I need to do to get it going again is pull the big knob out and on again and then it finishes ?? So what should I be looking at next. The entire knob assembly ??? I imagine that is not cheap. Thanks

Samsung Washer WA45H7000AW - lid will not unlock

This is a Samsung washer and the only reason I am posting here is because I think Maytag is involved in at least some of the Samsung washers.
A customer bought a washer from me and left his with me to try and troubleshoot. The lid is locked and remains locked at all times. How can I get it to at least unlock so I can open it up?

Thanks in advance of course.

Bosch Washer won't drain

I have a Bosch Nexxt series front load washer that is giving error code E13 and doesn't drain properly. I have opened the drain trap in the front and found a few coins and such. I cleared all that out, but the problem persists.

I then removed the drain tube on the back to see if it was blocked. Water flows freely through the tube, but when I stuck a finger into the pipe it is attached to on the back of the machine it seems fairly full of gunk.

Does this seem like the source of my problem, and if so, how can I clean it out? It doesn't appear to easily detach from the machine.

Samsung Washer WA5451ANW/XAA Lights ON, but does nothing - No error code

Hey everyone. I'm looking for a little assistance. All of my searches have brought me here :)


I have a Samsung WA5451ANW/XAA top load. I'm not getting any error code. it turns on, when i start a cycle, it just sits. After about 5-10 minutes you can smell that dreaded smell of something not quite right. I've killed the power to it.

In troubleshooting over the weekend, I decided I'd replace the most common problem and that was the door sensor switch. So, that didn't fix my problem.

I can power it up in test mode and everything works.
Spin test = pass (it spins up to 1034RPM)
Tst = Pass (tub spins and the bottom internal spinner does it's thing)
i can cycle through the water selections too.

I power it down and start back in normal mode, i select start, and nothing happens. the lights are on, the door locks, but nothing happens.

Is there a way to make the machine give me an error code?

Any assistance is appreciated. I haven't washed clothes since Friday. :( We're getting desperate.

LG Front Load Steam Washer Won't Turn On

Hi Everyone,

Recently my LG washer stopped turning on. After trying multiple things to figure out what is the problem (the breaker and outlet are ok) we realized the following.

1. If you unplug the machine from the outlet for at least around a minute, the washer will turn back on.
2. You can complete a whole load.
3. When the machine shuts off after the load is over, if you try to turn it on within say a minute it will turn back on.
4. If you wait longer than this the washer will not turn back on and then you need to resort to unplugging the machine to get the washer to power on again.
5. When you run the test mode there are no error codes returned.

I got a quote from an appliance repair person for $458 to replace the control board. :wall::wall::wall:

Mostly I just want to be sure this is the correct diagnosis to fix my problem. If anybody has more insight into what is going on that would be great. Thanks for all the help!

Samsung top load washer WA5471ABP - 3E error code

Top load samsung WA5471ABP, just out of warranty of course. Stopped working displayed a 3E error code. Initially while diagnosing problem i thought it was the hall sensor so I replaced it. Washer is still not working. Still throwing 3E error code during normal wash cycle, and now a 13E code while in service mode also, and the tub jerks back and forth but will not spin when in service mode. After trying that several times now nothing at all, except a faint electrical noise like the motor wants to go but nothing.

The replacement of the hall sensor seemed easy almost too easy, did I overlooking something? Or is there another problem. I did double check all electrical connections and bolts for tightness. During a normal wash cycle i can hear what sounds like the motor trying to turn but no results. I can move the tub freely with little effort, could there be some obstruction in the tub? I have not opened up the top. Thanks for any responses.

burned maytag

I have a maytag performance series 3000
Model # mhwe300vf00
Unfortunately my home was lost to fire due to my neighbors negligence. Both washer & dryer were involved, but mainly only cosmetic damage was done.
I've cleaned up both machines. They both had the problem of their buttons not returning after being pushed. I found that the control consoles had expanded & warped slightly. I removed both, separated the cover from the electronics & carefully relieved the button openings with a file. Now all buttons work properly & return after being pushed. The dryer works in all cycles properly, even though it's cosmetically seen better days.
On the other hand the washer doesn't. I've done the same to its console button openings as with the dryer. I connected both water lines & there are no leaks. Its plugged into a working 110 power source.
Nothing happens. No lights no beeps no noises no display no nothing.
I realize that trying to resurect this Phoenix from the ashes is alot to ask for, but the dryer ugly as it is works great.
I have a volt ohm meter & some electrical knowledge. Of anyone can give me some pointers on where & how I should go about testing the components & wires, I'd appreciate it.
Better yet if I could get a copy of the tech & trouble code/trouble shooting sheet like I found inside the dryer, that would really help me. Thanks for any input. I can't afford a service tech to come & over charge for parts & labor or just tell me to scrap it

Maytag Washer

My washer is stopping in mid cycle, the red door light goes out, I hit the start button again, and it will start again. After the last cycle the clothing is still soaking wet, and I have to do a drain and spin to get the water out. I checked the error codes and I had codes flashing that were not in the tech manual. I cleared the errors and did an automatic test, passed with no problem. I checked for errors again and no errors. I did the RPM test and Tachometer Verification Mode and no leds came on when I spun the basket by hand. Only the green "Done" led was on. After running a wash with an empty basket I get a F7E1 – BASKET SPEED SENSOR FAULT. I have been directed to the Optical Sensor. Is there a way that this sensor could be blocked by something (lint, ECT...) and cleaned?

LG washer - Teeth in the center of the rotor have eroded away

My front loader was not spinning and was making a grinding noise. The pump was still working so I replaced the stator and that fixed the problem.

Upon replacing the stator, I noticed that the teeth in the center of the rotor that align into the grooves of the tub shaft have eroded away. Does where the tub shaft's grooves and the rotor's teeth slide together help to grip and spin the tub? Or is that the job of the magnets.?

Like I said it's now spinning fine and the teeth in the center of new rotors look kind of weak and not fit to do the job of holding the the tub shaft to make it spin.

The teeth in the center of the rotor looks as if it's just to align the two parts together more than help them work like gears and turn each other but than again what do I know maybe the stripped center of the rotor is going to eventually ruin the stator again.

So, does anyone know if I need to replace the rotor?
