ge stackable washer/dryer leaking at the top of the tub

Our washer is leaving a puddle on the floor in the front left corner. I took the front panel off and watched many cycles. I noticed the ring (trough) at the top of the tub has soapy water and it runs around the trough to the left side where it runs down the side of the outside of the tub and eventually to the floor. The water is not there throughout the cycle, but is there after it. Cannot find where the water comes from to fill the trough.:wall:
HELP!

Frigidaire Affinity beeping constantly

My Frigidaire Affinity, model ATF6000E, has started beeping constantly and flashing and error signal. The washer still works fine, it’s just super annoying. What could be causing this? Control board malfunction?

Not agitating

Good morning, Kind Folks. My first post, so please be nice. Lol. My stack-able is not agitating. Tub fills up and i hear the motor hum, but then the cycle stops. Even the timer. But if i put it on spin, it pumps the water out (pump and motor is separate. i took the front cover off) and completes the cycle after it spins. Does anyone have an idea what it could be? Any help right now would be greatly appreciated. I want to thank you in advance.

Agitator Bolt stuck but reotates

I've read lots of posts about people whose agitator bolt is unmovable. Mine turns, fine, but seems to be stripped. It sound like it's threaded into plastic and it just spins around with a light thumping sound. I've tapped on it. I've tried to aggressive pull the agitator, but it seems like it's firmly in place. I can't drill it out, at least not easily. Not sure how to proceed.

Should I just break it out and replace everything? Does this mean the transmission bad?

WF395BTPA Samsung Front Load - Clicking Noise on Rinse Cycle

Help please! My Samsung front load washer is making a very consistent loud clicking noise when the Rinse cycle comes on. It sounds like a loud version of a baseball card on bicycle wheel spokes. I have a video, but can't get it to upload. Is there another way to submit the video?

Samsung WF350ANW/XAA: no spin, no agitate, 3E3, tub hard to turn

Hello all, first time poster here and in serious need of help. I have browsed the forum for similar symptoms but am uncertain of the way to go.

Washer: Samsung wf350anw/xaa, from Oct 2011
Symptom: tub does not tumble or spin, empty oo not

Details: Everything was working fine until suddenly, with a new cycle started, no agitation. The tub jerks a bit back and forth, not much, about 1-inch. No spin during that phase. Entire cycle completes without an error code shown.

Doing the spin test, with an empty tub, displays error 3E3. However, on another try, the spin test shows 1150, motor sounded like it was spinning freely and quickly ramped up and kept going. No error was shown for a while so I stopped the test because the tub was not spinning. A few more spin tests showed the 3E3 code immediately.

Back to the tub, turning it by hand is difficult. Turning it back and forth sometimes works, sometimes gets stuck as if something is jammed behind tub. Feeling around tub, seems no way I can get anything in there to investigate.

I cleaned the front filter, quite a bit of crap in it but water takes in and drains fine. Removed cover to access motor. The rotor spins freely - mostly. At times it would get stuck and stop. Removed it, seems fine, no scoring or anything foreign. Removed stator, seems fine. Turning the clutch (?) shaft, it turns well with a some resistance but eventually stops.

I decided to reintall the stator and rotor but now the rotor has a little resistance when turning, it's not as smooth as before, almost sounds like it's scraping. I didn't mark the original location before removing it so is there a special orientation for it?

So, that's pretty much it. Any help appreciated.

WM2455HW LG Tromm rotor/stator issue

My washer recently stopped spinning. Before it stopped it was making a loud noise. I took the panel off the back and found that some of the magnets on the rotor were broken. There was also a lot of black "dust". I ended up replacing the rotor and stator. When I start up the machine, it works, but it sounds like the rotor and stator are rubbing against each other. Any ideas on what could be causing that?

Washer won't spin

The washer won't spin unless I give it some help. I can turn big pulley and belt by hand in both directions. When I put it in spin, the motor pulley just spins around but the belt doesn't move. I already put a new belt in it. The idler wheel and spring look OK.

WM1814CW LG Washer - Rapid drumming noise - leads to eventual DE error code - Video Included

About 15 minutes into a washing cycle the washer stops moving/doing anything and starts making a rapid drumming noise.

Video here:


link to video https://youtu.be/OYTZ-RYYW5Y

After about 23 minutes of total time (8 minutes since it started drumming) is stops and throws a DE error code for door error. Which is odd, considering the noise seems to be coming from within the washing unit and not the door/latch area. Inspection of the door and latch looks great.

I've drained it, and checked the filter basket on the bottom and both looked normal.

Thoughts or suggested troubleshooting tips?

WM3470HWA LG FL rear tub seal leaks

Hi, all.

While I've generally and otherwise liked the two LG front-load washers I've owned (the first, a WM2277, and the more recent, a WM3470), both of them had (2277)/have (3470) developed a rear tub seal leak. I replaced the seal and bearings in the 2277, and eventually replaced with the 3470 set -- only to have the same problem years later.

Maybe there really is no good answer to this question, but is there anything in particular that lends itself to these seals failing as they seem to? Just an example of a part or design poorly capable of withstanding routine washer activity? Why do these things seem to give out as easily as they do? My wife and I don't abuse these appliances; we have no children and aren't constantly running them.

Is there any realistic means of prevention (aside from "don't buy one," "don't use it," or other such avoidance-based obviousness), maintenance, or other constructive behavior that can help prolong the useful life of this seemingly troubled part of the assembly?

Thanks in advance.

Did LG front load washers improved over 6 year??

Hi folks!

We purchased a combo of LG front load washer/dryer 6 years ago, model of the washer is WM2350HWC and back in 2011, it have some of the best rating on the market. Since day #1, we totally hate the washer (no issue with dryer) because it are replacing a dead 10yo GE top load agitator washer (non-HE) and the LG HE demonstrate a poor washing capacity for heavy stained clothes (we have two kids) but finally we get over it because apparently this is just how HE washer work, less water, less washing capacity for extreme stain... my mom have Samsung front load and she experience same thing with very heavy stain. So we get over it and learn to live with it.

Whatever, the main problem of the LG washer 6 years later is we can't get rid of molds and bad musty smell into the washer, even after 5+ successive TUB CLEAN cycle using strong cleaners such as AFFRESH and TIDE tub cleaners, bad smell is still there. Of course door gasket as been deeply cleaned and water filter is clean too. Moreover, as for the door gasket, even after manually deep cleaning it every 10-15 days, it's always full of mold if we pull on it to unfold it... but this is a known issue as LG is actually facing a law suit for mold in door gasket in the US but for 2004-2006 models and we have the 2011 model, but who knows...

The conclusion is we actually need to wash and re-wash clean clothes 2+ times with hot water cycle to get rid of musty smell on our clothes. So the water and energy we saved with HE over traditional washer (non-HE) is lost as we wash every clothes 2 to 3 successive times and probably use more energy and more water than old traditional washer.

Now the question is : did front loader washer design improved (especially door gasket) over 6 years and what would be a good washer for you in 2017/2018 (brand/model please)?? We also consider to go back to top-load (real HE (no agitator) or semi-HE with agitator) for several reasons such as constant leaking front load door as soon as the door's gasket is a bit dirty or have any obstruction (such as a loose thread from a clothe, etc).

Thank you so much!

WM3770 Brand new LG washer dripping water from boot/gasket valve.

I just received my brand new hours old LG washer. I noticed after the washer is done and I open the door that it is dripping a lot of water from this orange valve that’s on top of the boot/gasket. I wipe the seal and that valve, but it drips off and on.

I’ve never had a washer have this valve on the upper gasket. Did I get a defective machine, or is this dripping normal? I don’t want to have to go back and repeatedly wipe it up from time to time, not to mention any standing water could cause mold growth over time.Click image for larger version.  Name: C8435C05-E559-47C6-BE7A-3B2E42E9932F.jpg  Views: 6  Size: 128.8 KB  ID: 35126
