Maytag Washer (2018 purchase) MHW6630HC0

We have the above washer and have an E1F9 code that suggests the unit isn’t draining properly. Took off the back to check drain/filter and the filter is facing the front of machine, all the way at front (not accessible from back). The front appears to require the control panel to come off, door seal to come off, and door to come off in order to pull off the panel that allows access the filter. This seems crazy! Our old front loader just had four screws and a small panel at the bottom to...

Ignis FL800S (Whirlpool design) stops spinning

I have an Ignis FL800S which is about 4-5 years old. Yesterday it started acting up in very specific way: When it starts spinning and speeds up, you can hear a strange sound that is difficult to describe, and then stops and all lights on the front panel start blinking together in unison. I have searched online for solutions but everything that I found seems to be focused on the drum not spinning at all or problems with the machine not finishing the program, which is not my case. The machine...

Washer won’t drain doesn’t seem to be clogged

I have had this washer for about 3-4 years. It works fine till it comes to drain. It makes a kind of grinding sound (which it always has) but only for a few seconds then water begins to flow through the drain hose. Now it makes the grinding noise but won’t move any water no matter how long it tries.

I’ve pulled the wall end of the drain hose and hooked my wet/dry vac to it to drain the water out and it pulls it out no problem. I’ve unhooked both the drain hose and the small hose from the...

GTW860SPJMC washer banging during certain speed in spin cycle

Hey everyone new to the forum and looking for some help. I have a GE top load GTW860SPJMC washer that started making a really loud banging sound at a certain speed during the spin cycle. So my 10 year old thought she would be helpful and fill the smart dispense up but instead poured an entire bottle in the the regular soap dispense. I followed the manual on disassemble and everything went good. Got the entire basket and drum cleaned and put back together Now I get a horrible banging. Not...

Samsung Washer Issue / No 120v at hot water

Good afternoon,

I am hoping someone here might be able to point me in the right direction when it comes to this washer I'm dealing with right now.

I'm currently not getting any hot water into the machine. There is no blockage on the lines and I've checked the solenoid, and resistance tests good. So that led me to check the voltage coming to the solenoid from the main PCB, and it turns out only the hot water solenoid isn't receiving the 120V when its attempting to start. The cold water...

Whirlpool Cabrio Shaft/ Bearing Replacement

Hello Experts, I am out of options. I am on day two of this project and have one last hurdle I cannot figure out. As far as the youtube videos go i have done everything correctly. HOWEVER, when put the basket back in and try to install the "drive nuts" between the shaft and basket there is about 1/4" gap between the flange and basket that are screwed together. The shaft is sticking up to high in the tub but seems to be seated fine on the bottom with the nut tight. I tapped the shaft out and...

Whirpool Duet pump issue?

Hi All! So, a few days ago, I started gettng the E1 F9 Error, draining too slowly on my Whirlpool Duet WFW72HEDW0. I removed the drain plug and cleaned it thouroughly, I also removed the drain hose running up the side of the machine and cleaned it along with the exterior drain hose. I Reassembled everythng, and the error continued, except the drain pump was making a loud sound reminding me of a broken impeller shaft I had on a fish tank filter once. So, I just purchased a replacement...

WFVC5400UC/24 Bosch 500 series washer drum rubbing against front seal

I have a Bosch 500 series washer model number WFVC5400UC/24.
The drum that holds the clothes and rotates is rubbing against the rubber front seal (bellows).
The problem showed up as the drum stalling when spinning.
I found the front of the drum where it meets the front seal was very hot, too hot to touch.
I removed the front seal and I can see where the drum has been rubbing.
It has been rubbing and has worn evenly all the way around.
It is as if the drum has slid forward towards and against...

AWN542SP111TW01 Speed Queen washer not filling

I have a Speed Queen model #AWN542SP111TW01. It was filling, and during mid-fill it "buzzed" (like an electrical short) and stopped filling completely. I checked the breaker and it is not tripped. No agitation during wash cycle. The spin cycle does work, but no water is added during the rinse cycle. I'm assuming I have a bad mixing valve? Anything else I should check? Thanks

Washer won’t spin clockwise

I took the front the my stackable washer off. I noticed after the tub fills with water, the motor starts but the transmission won’t move clockwise. It moves an inch and then stops. The motors keeps spinning the pulley but the transmission isn’t moving. Then, I can put it in spin and it will spin counter clockwise and drain and finish the cycle. I hope I don’t have to replace the transmission. I would just rather buy a new one since it’s pretty old already. Thanks.

592-49356 Kenmore Washer - What is this?

So my Kenmore gave me a tE error. I fixed it easy enough but out of boredom with the lockdown I thought I’d check the connections on the heat element. Put the machine back together and I’m left with this. I’ve watched numerous videos of the machine being taken apart and can’t figure out where I took this off.

Thanks in advance for any help.

AWS44NW Speed Queen Washer will spin but not agitate

I have a Speed Queen AWS44NW, when you turn it on all it does is fill with water and then hum loudly. I can turn the timer to spin and it will spin properly and empty the water. I replaced the motor and no change. I removed the belt and started it and it still hums, if I go and turn the pulley on the motor a fraction it will start to turn. Is there a capacitor I am not seeing somewhere? This is 2 motors that this is happening to. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Looking for advice on purchasing a new Washing Machine....

OK, as the official handyman of a retired lady, she has asked me to find a new washing machine for her… I’m by far not up to speed on washing machines these days since the last one I bought was from Circuit City in 2000 (Much to the chagrin of my wife. 😉) Anyhow, since there are a lot of great techs and just good, smart folks here, I thought I would pose the question.

I’ve started the post with something I QUICKLY researched and thought was a decent brand/model, but I’m by far not set on...

Maytag Bravos XL Squeals like a Pig during Agitation only

Just replaced the full bearings and tub seal with a new kit. It ran perfectly silent every day for almost a week, and now whenever in the agitation part of the cycle, I get a noisy squealing dying animal sound. Here’s a video with sound. Any advice appreciated.

Whirlpool washer spins but doesn’t agitate

I have a whirlpool LXR7133JQ0 washer that will not agitate but spins and drains fine. This model doesn’t have agitator dogs, so the easy fix is out. The agitator sits over the spindle and the spindle doesn’t turn when it should be agitating. I can manually turn the spindle with my hand. The motor drive coupler looks fine, so it’s not that (and I wouldn’t expect that to be the problem either). I have heard that transmission problems are rare but I can’t think of anything else it could...
