WP duet washer WFW9150WW01 intermittent wet clothes

Working on WP duet washer, Mod: WFW9150WW01.

Customer complains that clothes are not sufficiently wrung out at end of cycle. Washer occasionally stalls and does not complete cycles at different time intervals (8 min, 17 min, 29 min, ETC, never the same stall point.) Owner needs to run rinse/spin cycle to finish load.

This model uses “wash” indicator light to display error code,

Flashing 8-1 = "no water detected entering washer or pressure switch trip not detected"

Washer will successfully complete diagnostic cycle. All functions appear with spec. Fills, agitates, rinses, drains, spins, high speed spin, door lock, all ok.

Checked water valve coils, and pressure valve for continuity, OK. wiring harness ok. Drain pump drains. Filter catch clear. Pressure SW tube is clear and appears not to have leak.

I can't recall the source, but I did find a reference that stated that if the pressure SW is not working properly, it will indicate water still in the tub and will not initiate the high spin cycle.

I replaced the pressure switch ( wpw10239066 ), cleared error memory from diagnostic, ran diagnostic cycle again and the all functions appeared to work. I ran a short rinse/spin & drain cycle, all ok. Customer called back and said washer was failing to complete 3 out of 4 loads. In order to complete the load, she then runs the washer through rinse/spin & drain to complete the load.

Any suggestions?
