WM3670HWA LG Washing Machine Hot Water Hose Noisy and Vibrating

Hi,

I purchased a new LG washing machine and had it installed. When installed the hot water hose was making a loud vibrating noise (like a machine gun) while the tub was filling. The installer said it was air in the line and would go away. Well I've done many loads and it's the same. Someone suggested it was water hammer, but my understanding is that water hammer is when the valve turns off, not when water is filling the tub. I'll be calling the company to send someone out, but wanted to run it by here for any ideas as to what it may be. I tried moving the hose while it was doing it, but this has no affect. I did find a youtube video online that displays the same issue I am having, but there were no responses as to what it is. Thanks for your help.

Over-voltage damage

In late summer, the house of my mothers' girlfriend suffered damage to the incoming main power line. The neutral line broke and shorted to one of the legs, resulting in the entire house receiving 220V instead of 110V. The damage was really random, but the major appliances damaged was a microwave and this GE washer.

I assume the main computer board was fried and I can get a replacement, but I've hesitated to do so if the motor / pump was also destroyed by the over-voltage. I looked briefly at the motor and pulled the rather complicated harnesses from it, but saw no obvious damage.

Is there a simple method to test this motor or what is the opinion of everyone here - worth the effort or just scrap the whole machine?

I'll take advice on the microwave too.

Heartfelt thanks for any advice.

BW207AW3 Old Kelvinator burning smell

Hi. The washer had completed a cycle but left a burning smell and wouldn't turn on. After a short while I tried to turn it on to the rinse cycle to see if the motor was still working. It would start for a split second then stop again. I took the belt off and it looked ok. Put the belt back on and re-balanced the machine (it was a bit out of balance.) I've done two loads since without issue. Any idea on what would have caused the burning odor? Is there any maintenance I could do to help keep the machine in use? It's 23 years old and I think this is the first problem I've had with it.

Whirlpool Washer stops working WHILE spinning

Hi, my washer works normally until it reaches the spin cycle. It starts spinning at a rapid speed and shaking, then stops suddenly. There is still time left on the timer, but it either pauses and forces you to press start to continue, or completely shuts off on its own. It gets some of the water out, but the clothes are still more soggy than normal.

If after it stops, you try putting it on the drain and spin only cycle, as soon as you start it, some water comes out of the pump.

There are no error codes, even when I ran diagnostics test.

What parts could be causing the machine to malfunction in this way?

It is a Whirlpool Model #WFW8300SW04

Bosch Avantixx Washing Machine door is jammed

Hi all,

My washing machine door is jammed with all my clothes inside. :( Any help would be appreciated.

Here are some details:


Make: Bosch Avantixx

Model No: wvh28440au

What have I tried so far

1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqG0muS8hTc
Tried putting the knife in, didn't seem to do anything. I don't want to apply too much force due to the fear of causing more damage. Has anyone here tried this method?
2. I've also tried pulling the emergency door unlock cord. But can't get it budge downwards.
3. I've tried turning off the power and back on (through the mains, since I don't have access to the plug point for the machine)

When did it happen?
After an afternoon wash. When I went to open the door, it was just stuck.

More details
I see a blinking key sign, which according to the manual is a misalignment.
The machine just about five years old.


Thanks in advance for any help!

WF350ANGXAC Samsung shock absorber free play ?

Hi, is it normal for Samsung shock absorbers to have some free play ? mine have up to 1/2" travel with no damping and the drum is shaking like crazy when upto full spin speed.

Part # DC66-00650D 80N & DC66-00650C 80N

If it's not those then it could be the spider :(

Thanks

GHW9100LW1 spin issues

I’m having problems with my washer. If I put in a small load of clothes, the washer will not complete the wash cycle. It will get to the point of spinning out the water, spins for a bit then it will stop and then the display begins to blink. After a couple of minutes the pump starts up like it’s going to start to spin then it will shut off after about 10 seconds and the start/stop cycle continues. It's strange though, if I put in a large load, the washer will work just fine. I’ve ran it through the diagnostic procedure and it complete that with no errors at all. I’m stumped as to what the problem may be. I’ve replaced the computer with a known good one and it does the same thing. I have not tested the motor or MCU yet. Any ideas?

Whirlpool 2000 series weird blinking lights

Hi I'm new here and I'm having a lot of trouble with this. We fixed the computer/control board on it and it powered up but now it's just blinking like crazy and locking and unlocking itself. Also displays an error message 8 on it. I have a picture of it but I'm not sure how to post it. Any help is very much appreciated. Thank you everyone and have a great day.

Whirlpool Duet won't spin, drain pump running

Whirlpool front load Duet washer, model WFW9151YW00, won't spin. Pump was replaced. Control board replaced. Pressure switch replaced. Nothing changed. No error code shows when it gets to spin cycle, just keeps trying to pump. Pump sounds like it's pushing water back and forth, or cycling for about 5 minutes during spin cycle, then machine stops and door unlocks...end of wash cycle. So the machine fills fine, washes fine, drains fine until it gets to needing to spin and the pump just keeps trying to pump what seems to be a small amount of water left but never gets to any significant spin, sometimes I get a few turns but that's it. In diagnostic mode with nothing in the washer it spins briefly and then stops. There is what appears a F3 E2 error code in the history that comes up during diagnostic mode but that error code is apparently linked to the temperature. Thinking to replace motor that comes with the motor control unit attached but getting tired of replacing parts. Any ideas? Can it be a balance issue? Shocks seem OK. Is there an out of balance sensor on these? I couldn't find one. It doesn't appear to knock or bang when running although hard to tell since it won't spin with any clothing in it except for a few slow turns.
Thanks for any help with this. Really would like to figure it out.

Washer noise on spin cycle after replacing clutch

Hello,

My washer machine was inconsistently not starting the spin cycle. Would work sometimes but not others and was getting worse. I noticed while watching it with the door open and the door button pushed down that when it switched to spin and didnt spin, if I open and closed the door, it would generally start to spin. But I digress....

Purchased a timer but never replaced it. After reading it seemed it may be the clutch. I replaced the clutch and it starting making a noise at start of the spin cycle (youtube video attached). Thought I did something wrong so pulled it all apart. Put it back together taking care to make sure things were lined up correctly but no change.

Any ideas?

I replaced the timer too since I had it.

Washer Walking

My Maytag washer will be fine (no walking) for the first 5 - 10 loads, but then seems to walk even after I have leveled the the front / back / sides of the washer. I attached a video of the washer on spin cycle, but I don't know if the tub movement is excessive. Let me know your thoughts

LG Wahing Machine WFT1060EP Won't drain (OE error code)

My LG washer stops at the spin cycle and doesn't drain. Eventually it displays an OE error code and stays full of water. There does not seem to be a blockage in the hoses, as I can get the water to rush out by lowering the drain hose into a bucket. I have been trying to troubleshoot, here's what I know:

• there were two items (bra underwire and bobby pin) in the drain clean-out area, but not stuck in the impellor
• there is a rattling noise when the pump should be on (seems to be the impellor rattling within the pump -- should it be loose?)
• at the start of the spin cycle, the pins to connect the pump receive 140 VAC
• resistance of the pump motor is 15 ohms

Any advice for troubleshooting this would be appreciated.

Frigidaire Effinity ATFB7000ES) Drain nornammly but does not Spin in High Speed

Washer drains fine during normal wash and rinse cycles.
Washer does not appear to be draining correctly due to no high speed spin.
Drain Strainer was clean.

From Reading the other blog post this appears to possibly be the door latch switch.
Can someone please provide any further explanation.
Is there a method I can jump out the switch?
Or do I need to order new switch and replace?

Could there be another cause?

Thank you in advance Cary
