Maytag Neptune - Washer will not spin: Prior Lr code, now Help code 8

During a cycle my washer stopped and displayed Lr for Locked Motor - Motor not being see by the control board. After taking out the clothes, draining, and starting over it runs a cycle without spinning, but does not display the Lr code.

I entered diagnostics mode cleared the excessive help and diagnostics codes, and ran a quick service cycle. The cycle would not finish, but kept displaying SC (Service Cycle).

Diagnostics Codes were empty, but the Help codes read code 8 (During start up the motor did not reach 10 rpm within 2 seconds - informative only).

I accessed Outboard Test, and tried Motor Control and nothing happened. Nothing showed up on Help or Diagnostic codes.

What should I check next? Is the motor control and motor gone?

Drain Standpipe under minimum width

I just picked up a brand new Whirlpool washer for my wife's Christmas gift.

Shop Whirlpool 4.3-cu ft High-Efficiency Top-Load Washer (White) at Lowes.com

I have a standpipe drain coming out of the floor, roughly 12" up. The manual states it should be at LEAST 2" x 39" minimum, and sadly, the pipe sticking out is only 1.25" x 12". I live in an apartment, and the previous connection was made and it was clamped down with no room for air to escape.

So, I purchased a 36" PVC, 36" x 1.25". It's now at the minimum height, with the drainage pipe sitting loosely inside of it. We decided to gamble and try it out on a smaller load and it went off without a problem. It seemed to drain fine.

Am I going to regret this? We're trying out a larger load now, hoping for the best.

I hear that in MA the regulation is at least 1.5" long. This house is very old and I fear for the worst.

Maytag washer won't spin on spin cycle.

Good afternoon, I have an issue with my washer and would like to verify the part I need. My diagnosis is bleak, after testing, I've been lead to main control. When testing in manual mode on spin or agitate, the lid lock never engaged. When lid lock test is made, it works every time. Is my diagnosis missing anything? Thanks in advance.

Whirlpool washer won't lock

I have a whirlpool w4800xq0 washer. I was having issues getting the washer to do anything. I was gifted this machine. I checked the error code and found that the error code showed the main controll board was not sensing the lid latch. I replaced the main controll board and got the washer to fill with water. That is where it stopped. No spin, no agitate. I tested the lid latch and it failed. I replaced the lid latch and still I get the failure. When I run the latch test all LED' S flash except the lock light. I cannot get the machine to spin or agitate and the lid latch never locks. The auto test will run all water tests but will not lock or spin. I'm out of ideas and nearly out of money. Any help is appreciated.

Whirpool ultimate care ii spin/agitator issues

So I've got a couple issues I'm dealing with on an old washing machine. Model number LSQ9110LW0. Machine was leaking and leaving water in the bottom of the drum after cycles. I replaced out the water pump that stop the leaking problem but the machine still wasn't spinning properly. I replace the drive couplers a couple years ago and bought another one just in case. The rubber connector was worn out very badly but all the teeth are still in good shape. Ran a wash cycle water moves out of the drum but will not go through a spin cycle. In doing this repair and poking around I also noticed that the agitator top was spinning back-and-forth. First question, is there an easy way to figure out whether it be the clutch that's broken to fix the spin cycle issue?I Do I just have to take the whole thing apart? Secondly, should the agitator be free to move back-and-forth in either direction? Both the top and the bottom of the agitator move freely. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated

Haier Washer won't start

The LEDs light up, and the controls respond. I select a cycle, press the dial, and nothing happens. No fill, wash, drain, or spin. No sound. I tried "Spin Only" and "Quick Wash". I know the lid switch works, because it beeps when I lift the lid.

WF328AAW/XAA Samsung Washer new Control Board shows E3 error

Some of the buttons on the existing board will not work. For example, set to Whites and extra rinse comes on. Press the extra rinse button and nothing changes.

Even changing water temperatures in certain washes does not work.

Everything else works fine. Complete wash and spin no issues

Bought a new board. From codes on board it looks identical to old board

Install new board and washer throws a E3 error. It does start cycle. Spin in spin mode seems to work. E3 happens as washer is filling and it is about to start washing. I read a ton of posts about hall sensor and stator motor among other things.

BUT all of this works fine with old board. So why the E3 error when the new board installed. Called Samsung and aske for level 2 support. Told level 2 does not exist.

Perplexed. Is there some reset for new board I missed? Some voltage difference between new and old boards. Why would all work great on old board and new board throws error.

LG front loader main wash slow filling

Good morning this is my first post on this forum. I have an LG front loader model WM0642H. It is now seven years old. I have recently noticed that the main wash portion of the fill is doing so very slowly. The prewash fills normally, followed by the main wash which fills slowly. The hose valves are working normally, the inlet filters have both been cleaned. Considering that the prewash is filling normally I am puzzled. This occurs during the initial fill. I have not watched long enough to observe the fill nor the rinse cycles

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If more information is needed, please let me know and I will do my best to oblige

Kenmore Elite Oasis Washer noisy and leaky during spin cycle

Washer model 11028042701 is making major noise when in spin cycle and leaking water. There has been an oil ring on the floor under the machine (the size of the tub) for over a year. Noise has developed slowly over the past 6 months. Any ideas? Click link to see YouTube video. Kenmore Elite Oasis Washer leaking and noise - YouTube

Whirlpool Washer Low Fill Issue

Hi

I am looking for any help I can get which will be very much appreciated. I am about at the end of my rope with this washer. I had to store my Whirlpool Cabrio washer in a storage unit while I moved to a new city (stayed in storage 2 years). Pulled the unit out of storage and hooked it up to find that the valve assembly had a crack in it (water all over floor was indicator! LOL). Must have froze in the winter. Replaced that part and all seemed fine but now my washer will not completely fill with water. It does not even get the cloths wet. So next I replaced the control panel and the unit still does the same thing. Pulled the back off the unit and watched the tub fill with about half a gallon of water then it starts to agitate. Cloths are completely dry except for a sprinkling of water. What else should I check OR replace on this unit? I am already $350 in and am getting to the point where I could have already replaced the unit and it is only about 5 years old!

Thanks for any help and guidance you can provide!

Kenmore Series 80 washer

Kenmore series 80 washer filled and then stopped working. Lid switch test good for continuity. Pump is clear and the motor turns easily one way and turns the drum the other way. Any ideas? Tomorrow is my day off and I have to get it fixed. You understand, I have a wife.

Samsung Washing Machine - Always in draining mode?

Apologies for my terminology as this isn't my profession but wanting to try fix my washing machine:eagerness:

As soon as I switch the washing machine on it starts to try drain water when there is no water in it. The Drain Motor activates and deactivates continuously which in turn pulls on a lever and then releases it and the water pump is constantly on.

If I try a rinse/spin cycle it tries to fill up with water but because it continuously trying to drain it just pumps it out.

Any thought as to what this might be?:encouragement:

Am I able to upload a video? If so I can make one.

Maytag MAH5500BWW motor control board resistor values R20, R21, R30, R31, R40 & R31

What are the resistor values for the R20, R21, R30, R31, R40, and R41? There are 5 color bands. I think they are Red, Violet, Black, Silver and Brown. This gives you a value of 2.7 Ohms. However, when I measure the value of the resistor when I take it off the board, it shows to be 0.4 Ohms. Please help.

WF431ABW/XAA Samsung Front Loader Leaking Only On Cold Cycle

Hello everyone,

I have a Samsung Front Loader Washer (WF431ABW/XAA). One of those new Steam Wash models. Just inherited from my friend who says it was purchased new 4 years ago. No warranty to speak of.

About a week ago, I noticed water pooling in the rear of the unit about a pint per regular cycle, BUT ONLY ON COLD WATER (and of course a little on warm water). I took the rear panel off and could only see water dripping from the bottom of the motor during fills. After taking off the top panel, I couldn't find any leaks from any of the intakes or anywhere else. I was just wondering if anyone else has seen this kind of issue or has any ideas.

Thanks.

WT5001CW LG Top Load will not power on

LG Top Loader was working fine until the other day. Went to push on the "Power Button", got nothing. No Lights, no nothing. Serial 102KWTA04561. Unit is plugged in properly, power is at the outlet. Power on is a "pressure sensitive" type switch. What could be wrong, that it just won't start up?

Water dripping into drum when not in use

Maytag Neptune front loader: Water drips into drum from the water spout when not being used. It's a slow drip and will take several days to accumulate in the bottom of the drum. I have not turned off the power or shut the water off, nor conducted any trouble shooting. I suspect it's a rubber seal of some sort but seeking advice.

Ge washer issues

Ge profile PTWN6050M0WT washer. It fills and drains but doesn't agitate or spin. I pulled the pump apart and found metal bits inside but everything seems ok and it's pumping. I also ohmed out everything I can I think. Lid switch is good. Should I change the motor or could the control boards be bad. Is there a test?

Haier HLP21N pump help generic question

Haier Washing Machine Model HLP21N Parts

OK the machine stopped pumping the water, I dunno if that was due to the stinky water in the rotor part or something else, but would like the answer to two questions, because after I measured the coil emptied the stinky water it worked again.
Well could have been something else that was loose. But here's my 2 questions:
What kinda grease could I use to keep the water out if the impeller magnet side in future,
2.all the hoses have some brownish glue like residue would like to ensure it does not leak in future so I would need to know what that glue/sealant is don't want to choose the wrong stuff and eat away at the plastic pump casing or the black hose from the drum or grey hose to the sink.
Help would be appreciated

Kenmore HE3t washer F11 and door lock errors

Initially just had an F11 error at different times during cycle. After watching this video Troubleshooting and Repairing the F11 Error Code in a Whirlpool Duet Washer - YouTube a friend added some solder to the pads on the control board and things worked fine for some time. Recently got a door lock error at the start of the cycle and replaced the door switch but that did not fix the problem. However, a gentle tap on the central control unit and the error cleared and washer started fine so wondered if a relay on the board may be going. 2 minutes from the end of the cycle the F11 error code came up again which eventually cleared and the cycle finished. Are both the door lock and F11 errors likely the result of a problem with the central control unit?
