LG front loader door pops open mid cycle flooding

This LG, I haven't seen it. Customer called today. Not sure of the age. She says the door pops open during the cycle letting the water out. My first thought was the door lock not holding or the hook on the door damaged. After googling it I saw a complaint online about the door popping open on LGs . Maybe it is filling too full? Water valve sticking open or pressure sensor LETTING it fill too full? Then the too full water level pushing it open?What are your thoughts gentlemen?

Kenmore 70 series not draining water

Hey everyone Im having trouble with my Kenmore 70 Series draining. It goes through the first cycle (Agitator) Then when it goes into the next stage it just doesnt do anything. I think thats the draining stage then fresh water. It seems like it just shuts off i dont hear anything. I have taken the water pump off and it doesnt seem clogged. I dont know how to tst and see if the motor is working properly.

It was having a secondary issue before this with having to take almost everything out for it to start spinning. Im asuming the cylindar or coupling was going out. Id have to spin it with my hand while the spin cycle was started to get it rotating then add the clothes back slowly.

WF45K6500AW/A Samsung tech sheet needed SUD and 5C errors

I have a client that complains that the washer is not working properly and shows error code SUD and 5C. I would like to find the tech manual for this model so I can run it through diagnostic mode. Will a different (older) tech sheet work? Does anyone have the instructions for test mode etc?

LG WT1101CW Washer UE Error

I saw another resolved thread where the user had this same problem - endless cycling at the rinse/spin cycle with more time perpetually added. Seems that replacing the control board is the best bet.

However the part # and links in the previous thread lead to a part that is no longer available.

Can anyone tell me if there is an available equivalent that fits this model? Preferably from a place that will accept a return if it doesn’t resolve the problem?

My 84yr old dad has been battling this problem and is ready to get a new machine, but it would be great if I could locate a board for him so he can give this a try and avoid the expense of a new washer.

Thanks very much.

LG WM3677HW Will not Drain Water All The time

Hello, I have a 2 in 1 combo LG WM36787HW. I have worked on this thing and have been able to usually fix it. I will list the things below that I have done so fall. A brief description of everything.

1. First the water valve inlet went bad and was not closing the valves all the way which would then allow water to seep in while sitting dormant
2. The night when I was replcaded the valve the drain pump quit working. I ordered both pumps and replaced them.
3. Now this is my problem. The washer works fine though the wash cycle, the rinse cycle. The drain pumps come on and empty the water when they needs to.
When the spin and dry cycle are on and when it counts down to 1:00 then i get the OE error. During the cycle the pump comes on and is draining as it should.
Also during the spin/dry the water valve comes on that puts water in the drying tube. It seems to me that the water valve should not be on the whole time.
During this last part that i described is when it happens. The drum starts to fill up with like it is being overwhelmed with to much water by that valve being open the whole time
Or is the control panel board bad at that point ?

Kenmore washing machine

When I first start the washing machine it wants to wash and feel at the same time and if I do not turn the water off at the end of the spin cycle it will dump water on my clothes. It has done this several times in the past and I was able to unplug it and run it a couple of times and it would fix itself but that's not the case now. Any help would be appreciated

WF218ANW/XAA Samsung Washer not Draining

This is probably the result of my son washing an old rubber backed rug that disintegrated in washer. In the past, I have had to occasionally remove the back, pull the hose that goes into the pump and collect junk that gets caught in the 90 degree turn. This time, that is not working. Is there another place where all that disintegrated rubber could have collected?

First time I did it a ton of rubber bits came out. Wonder if it is as simple as the drain pipe itself is plugged?

Thanks, Mike

no agitation

I have a Whirlpool Ultimate Care ll, mod. no. LSQ8500JQ0. It fills, drains and spins fine, it just won't agitate. I can turn the agitator freely by hand when the machine is not in use. During the wash cycle there is a slight clicking sound and the agitator "twitches" with the clicking sound, but doesn't actually move.
My research has indicated possibly a drive block? Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated

Cheers

Duet Will Not Run

I have a Whirlpool Duet that was slow to drain and would leave water in the tub. It then started tripping a F06E01 error and would no longer run.

I have removed the front panel and cleaned the drain and it had some materiel but nothing serious and nothing in my opinion that would seriously restrict flow.

I entered service mode and cleared the F06E01 code.

I attempted to enter Quick Diagnostic Mode and it started test C00 and would go no further.

Ideas?

Leak in Maytag Atlantis MAV7600

I have a leak in our Maytag Atlantis MAV7600. I thought it may be from one of the hoses but when I took off the front they look fine and so do the clamps. I ran a rinse cycle with the panel off to see if I could see where the water is coming from and couldn't see any. I had noticed last evening that when we had a full load that rinsed, the discharge was under water part time. I started thinking that may be the problem, that it was back flowing, so I raised it before running water this morning.

Just as I was about to walk away I noticed a small amount of water coming from under the pump. I didn't hear any weird sounds coming from the pump. I asked my wife if she had noticed any noised when it is draining and she didn't hear any either. Of course most of the time we are not present when that would happen.

An ideas what is going on?

Thanks.

Pat.

Washer Maytag Neptune "Start/Pause" and "Off" buttons does not work

Hello - I went through many threads on related issues. For this kind of an issue, I don't know how to test what is bad. Can you help me on this?
Either I need to change LED Consol ( Part # 22004439) OR Control Board ( WP22004299)? Thanks in advance. Rahul

Leaking Maytag Washer Brake Assembly

Hi Everyone,
Thank you for allowing me on the blog. I ordered a new Maytag Washer Brake assembly on line from a reputable seller and when it arrived it was leaking oil. Replacement was sent and again it was found leaking oil. This can't be right. The assembly has pressed tabs on it instead of screws like the old one. How can it be filled with oil again? Or should I just request another one?
Open to suggestions,
Joe J.

Any suggestions?

Samsung front loading washer won’t bring water in

I bought a front loading Samsung washer and dryer a year ago. Our warranty ran out a month ago and guess what....it stopped working. I cleaned the front filter and it still isn’t able to bring water in. Everything is connected. It turns on fine, selects the cycle, but won’t wash or anything. It makes a noise like it’s trying to pull the water in but never does. HELP

sincerely,
a tired mommy of two toddlers who needs her washer

Buzzing and won't start

Medium-loud buzzing sound coming from lower left front of the washer (it's hard to localize but that is my best guess). If I try to start a cycle, it's quiet for several seconds then the buzzing starts. The drum turns very slowly then stops completely. I do not hear the sound of filling water as I normally would after starting cycle. The buzzing sounds like the typical 60Hz electrical buzz like a stuck motor or pump or something.

PS: I found it very hard to look for other similar posts on this forum. It appears you can only search one level deep - in other words I could search for buzzing in all washers of all brands but not limit the results to Frigidaire washers, so I got too many irrelevant results to be useful. Is there a better way to search? I hate asking the same question that someone already has.

Kenmore Front Load Washer Only Spins at High Speed

The washer recently stopped powering on and during inspection I found a bad noise filter. A fuse in the filter melted. I replaced the noise filter and the washer turns right on again. However, since changing this part, the washer is now stuck on 'Extra High' spin speed. I can select 'No Spin' and that works, but anytime I select Low, Medium or High, it only runs on Extra High speed. It is horribly loud on this speed and feels like the washer is going to lift off the ground. Its working but I'm afraid if I allow it to use Extra High it will fry the motor or bearings soon. Can the noise filter replacement really have that much affect on the sin speed? I've unplugged and re-seated all the connections but nothing is helping. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

Washing machine getting fried while draining

Hello everyone,

The reason for my post is my tenant (I own a duplex) has bought two washers in the past two days and both of them have had their electrical components fried when the washer begins the draining process.

Seems very strange because I figured any electrical issue would be prevented by the breaker tripping (<4 yr old electrical box).

Anyways, I don't have specifics on the washer because I didn't purchase it. I searched the internet for a decent bit and couldn't find any information on this happening to others.

I understand I haven't provided a lot of details here, but I'm just trying to understand what potentially could cause this. Any thoughts or experiences related to this are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ben

Kenmore Laundry Center starts spinning but then stops

Hi everyone,

New to the forum and it looks to be a great resource. I have an issue with my stacked Kenmore Washer/Dryer Laundry Center and hopeful someone out there may be able to help me pinpoint the exact cause.

So the washer will fill with water and when the time comes to begin agitating, it will start to agitate (one revolution to either right or left) and then stop. The 'WASH' light will then flash. If I press the 'Start/Pause' button it will agitate in the opposite direction (again one revolution) and then stop and the wash light will again flash. I can't get it to agitate if I keep pressing the start/pause button repeatedly.

If I set it to 'SPIN' only cycle, it will drain the water completely and then as soon as the spin cycle is to begin, it will start spinning and after a 1-2 seconds, it will stop and the wash light flashes. Important to note, the lid lock light is illuminated red and the lid is in fact locked.

I took the front panel off the washer to see what is happening down by the belt and motor area. The white colored plate with teeth will drop down and engage the black plate with teeth and spin the tub, but as I stated earlier only for 1-2 seconds.

Can someone help?! Thanks, Mark

Load spinning clockwise during agitation cycle

in a nutshell, my washer isn't agitating like it should. as the action of agitation is supposed to happen, the tub spins and load spins instead of agitating. the tub seems to want to index as the agitator is engaged, but clothes gets wrapped around the agitator and and everything spins. I tried applying a little pressure by hand to feel how much torque or resistance I could apply to the agitator, and the agitator almost comes to a stop with some some firm pressure; not sure if this is any indicator, but thought I'd share.

I did video what was going and can be seen here https://youtu.be/vLR6pKjjY70 ; if this link works.

I'm ready to throw in the towel on this washer after 6 years and start looking for a new washer, but if I can repair for a fraction of the cost of a new one, I'll sure as heck try to repair.
