WA456DRHDWR Samsung washer, shake in spin and unbalanced load DC

Hello Everyone

This washer has me stumped and am wondering if any of you might know why its doing what its doing. The cycle goes through great until the second wash at 20 minutes left. It will start to shake in spin and go back to the 27 minute count , refill and agitate - it will repeat this again and again until it goes into unbalanced load DC. I am wondering if it senses an imbalance and is trying to rectify it? Everything seems level and oh by the way it doesnt do this with no clothes. Could there be something im missing in the suspension of this machine ? Thanks for anything Gordiel

Out of ideas

I've had this washer since it was new 22 years ago, it has been a very good appliance. It doesn't have all those unneeded options, it just washes clothes. A few weeks ago I started a load and walked away, when I came back I had found that it didn't start agitating, and the belt was smoking. I thought that because the belt was 22 years old, that it may have stretched and would not spin the pulley. I bought a new belt, but they only come in a set of 2 for $23. Put the new one on, and it worked for a week or two, then froze up again and smoked that belt, thinking that I may have not removed all the slack when I installed it,I bought another set. A week went by and i caught it not agitating when it started, so I quickly stopped the machine and removed the front cover, then rotated the transmission by hand, then started the machine and it worked fine. It worked for about 5-10 times normally,then got stuck again and would not agitate on its own, unless i played with the transmission to get it unstuck. So I thought it may need a bearing being so old, replaced the bearing and the seal. To my dismay it works most of the time, but can't trust it, can't keep buying belts, once they get a burn in them. So now I think it must be the transmissions I take the cover off the trans and all the gears look like brand new, can't see anything wrong. Now I am stumped and need some experienced advice on what to do next,I am a good DIY,but lack repair experience on appliances. Any advice? Model LAT8035AAE

Power button LG WM2016CW

My LG power button isn't working - I can unplug it and plug it back in, and it powers up, display comes on and everything works. Then the power button even works for a little bit. I left, wife came home a couple hours later and power button didn't work again. Unplug it (or flip breaker back and forth as plug is a little tough to get to) and works again.

So just wondering if anyone knows what this can be?

This place has helped me with my dishwasher and my inlet valve on washer, so hoping this is easy too!

Thanks guys!

GE washer dryer combo

Mechanically inclined friends, I have a GE washer dryer combo, model number gtup270em5ww that I've replaced to lid lock assembly's on 2 times. The 3rd one seems fine but now the washer won't agitate or spin. I read the service manual and put the machine in diagnostic mode and the code tells me it's an overflow problem. I don't think it is because I can fill and drain the tub in diagnostic mode. I'm hoping it's just a faulty sensor because I don't want to shell out $175 bucks for a new motor and find out that's not the problem. The previous lid lock issues lead me to believe it's a sensor issue. Any thoughts?

maytag stackable

I have a stackable maytag set, the washer motor will not start unless helped ( give the belt a tug) and it runs, i have replaced the starting capacitor and the motor with no change. The motor just hums when advanced to spin mode. I pulled off both belts to rule out a frozen bearing and still just hums. I have attached the schematic, any help would greatly be appreciated as to were to go next.

Strangest thing, the washer control will rotate fine as it goes through the cycle, but halts on the final spin and won't advance through, any one have a fix?

Kenmore 600 Washer Agitator

The agitator does not spin during the wash cycle. According to my mother this began happening the other day after it was lifted off of the drive shaft. She claims the problem was temporarily solved by pushing down on the agitator. I took the top and bottom pieces off by lifting them out, and, as I had suspected, the plastic ridges on the lower agitator that engaged with the drive shaft seem to be stripped. There's little plastic ribbons in there as well. Its not so bad that it wont turn the drive shaft if I turn it by hand with the agitator, and they aren't completely gone, but bad enough that it wont spin under load. Is there anything I can do short of replacing the whole thing?

Whirlpool Cabrio problems

I have a Whirlpool Cabrio WTW6200SW2 with agitator that is making a moderate squeal or squeak noise while it is sitting in cycle, it just holds/pauses and never advances. It seems to be right before entering the spin/rinse cycle. We have tried using different cycles. I also have tried unplugging the ac power & I also ran the washer thru the diagnostics test sucessfully. Sears repair says it's a bad drive bearing causing the noise & cycle stall per bad bearing. A $359 repair that I don't think will cure the cycle stall problem.
Please send some advice asap. Thank you

Need help buying a reliable top load washer

I need help on buying a good reliable brand/model of top load washer 4 to 5 cu. ft. capacity. I am looking at at all brands, LG, Samsung, Maytag & Kenmore seem to be on my look list right now.

I have already owned an old belt driven heavy duty Kenmore & a Whirlpool Cabrio w/agitator that were very troublesome. Please send me your advice asap. I need to buy a new washer immediately. Thank you

Duet water/bearing noise

I just removed an item that was between the inner and outer baskets by the front seal. While checking to see if there was anything else I turned the inner basket slowly. I can hear what sounds like water and a few bearings rolling with it as I turn the basket. The sound is coming from behind the back side of the basket. When I stop turning the basket it stops a second later as if the water and bearings settled to the bottom. I removed the sump hose and the other connections on the back and top of the outer drum and used a flashlight to look between them . There is nothing in there especially water. Is that sound normal and I just happened to notice it?

WFMC3200UC/01 BOSCH Washer Door Gasket Spring Clamo

I have been wrestling with my washing machine for 3 days now trying to change the front
door gasket. It is held in place by two spring hoop clamps. By some miracle I got the inner
one in place but the outer one is giving me fits. As soon as I put pressure on the clamp the
thing pops off along with the gasket.

I really need to wash clothes this weekend so let me know what you think. Here is a couple pictures
too

WM2233HW LG front load washer Will not power on

Died at the beginning of a cycle. Will not power on. Tried breaker and outlet.....both work. No response from any button. I'm guessing either control console or the mother board. Thoughts? Thank you!!!

GE Washer makes knocking sound

GE Washer makes a knocking sound when turning. Doesn't matter if it's turning very slow or fast, it makes the knock at the same point in rotation. Seems to be coming from the bottom of the basket area, possibly between the basket and tub. Tub bearing maybe? See it on the video link.

WM2701HV LG IE Code

I get an IE code approx. 5 minutes in when washing on normal cycle. I have checked the hoses for kinking and removed them to make sure the lines are clear. Water pressure is good and there is water present when the code comes on. Everything drains properly when pressing the rinse / spin button. I get NO IE code when washing on speed wash, but have not tried other cycles. Could this be the water inlet valves or level sensor? I have not removed these and ohm tested yet. Any input is much appreciated. Thank you.

WF317AAS/XAA Samsung Washer ...Will not spin

The washer will not spin...door switch is ok. I opened up the back panel, and it seems to be a transmission, coupling problem. The motor/transmission makes noise (not humming noise) but no spin. Spider arm???, Motor coupling?, Stator assy?, Motor stator kit? Any help is appreciated.

Just moved and top load washer will now not complete final spin/drain

We just moved into a new house and brought our Frigidaire top loading washer with us. Now every time I tried to do a load the lights all start blinking and the machine starts beeping right before its drains and does the final spin. I can't figure out what's wrong and I'd prefer not to have someone out here if I can do something simple myself. Please helppp!

Is there a solution to spider-arm corrosion?

Brand new Daewoo front load washer, 3 years in and the spider arm needs to be replaced. A little research reveals that spider-arm corrosion on front loads has been a common problem for a while now. Has anyone come up with a solution?

So many speculations as to what causes it...galvanic corrosion, water PH, detergent, keeping the door closed...any consensus in that regard?

I’m getting ready to put in a new spider arm and trying to figure out how I can treat it so that I could get at least 10 years out of it. I am thinking of first etching it with phosphoric acid, then anodizing it, and finally spraying it with a 2 part epoxy primer. What do you guys think? ...or has there been a proven method that works?

Washer not spinning. :(

Hi! I have a Kenmore 70 series washing machine, model number 110.82870100. I have scoured Google trying to find a solution to why my washer wont spin and so far I have failed.

My washer started only not spinning occasionally and would have to turn it back to rinse and it would fill with water and then spin out the water. Sometimes I would have to do that 2 or 3 times. It then would start spinning during the initial drain and it would do the click and pause and stop spinning although I still hear the motor running. It stopped spinning completely for awhile and then started only spinning occasionally and now won't spin at all again. When it switches to spin the agitator will jerk but then not spin even though I hear the motor running. It agitates and drains just fine.

*I just did a load of laundry and it just spun out the water the first rinse cycle even after the click and pause. So confusing!

I checked the agitator and drive block and both appear whole. I thought it may be the clutch so replaced that and it didn't solve the problem. While its supposed to be spinning and I can turn the tub by hand but that doesn't start it spinning. I looked under the washer when it's supposed to be spinning and don't see anything spinning at all but can hear the motor running.

Hopefully, this wasn't too jumbled. This is my first time trying to fix something myself so tried to remeber everything I've tried. Thank you so much for any help and advice!
