Maytag Bravos XL HELP

Please advise.

I have a Maytag Bravos XL that’s 3 years old. The washer won’t fill the tub with water and start it’s cycle. I was getting a code “LF” and I pulled the water solenoid inlet valve out of the machine to inspect it for and clogs. The part is super clean and had around 800 ohms to each solenoid. So I did a bench test by hooking up a hose to the cold water valve, turned the water on and the valve is closed as it’s supposed to be. Then I attached a two wire cord to it and plugged...

Kenmore stack washer making a noise

Hey guys. I’m working another stackable. This one makes a grinding/rubbing noise that is rhythmic at the end of the spin cycle when it is slowing down. I’m going to attach a video. I’ve also taken a picture of the bottom of the tub. There looks to be a gap between that shim and the bearing. Machine sounds great when it is in spin cycle. But when it disengages and slows down is when the noise starts.

Kenmore Washer 110.25132411 making a grinding noise and from checking it, not agitating

Hi everyone. My washer has been making a grinding noise and from checking it, it is not agitating. However it does spin and drain. In the last few days I changed the following parts: basket driven hub kit, washer pulley kit & the actuator. After changing the hub kit last night, it started agitating and I was able to get through a full wash with no problems but then it went back to making a grinding noise and no agitating. Could it be the transmission?
I thought about changing out the wash...

Cannot open Bosch washer 300 series (WAT28400UC) filter.

Hello,

I am not sure how to open a washer filter. It is an area where coins and other stuff should be collected.
There is a round door in front right bottom of the machine. Behind the door there is a filter lock.
I supposed to unscrew a big blue plastic "screw" - lock. I can turn it for about half of the full turn and then it stops. Should I force it further or it can be pulled at this point?
It looks like it is blocked, it is not turning anymore.
It is a new machine, it is the first time...

BOSCH WFMC3200UC/01 Front Load Clothes Washer - Water filling slowly when not in use

I believe my washer developed an issue this week during the Artic blast of cold weather we had here in central Texas.
The washer is filling the tub with water very slowly even without being powered on or selecting a wash cycle. Logic seems
to dictate that the water inlet valve is malfuntioned (possible crack from a freeze) and allows water in power or not.
Looking for confirmation of my thinking.

Maytag Washer -LAT8226AAM 1993?, motor overheats when spin cycle is started

This is a typical 2 belt, motor on left, single speed, drian pump on right model from 1993 based on SN. This is long, I've been at this a while, sorry. I'll bullet point this as best I can.

Tub didn't drain, drain pump impeller didn't spin with pulley, replaced pump, also replaced belts.
Tub didn't drain. The motor 'clicks' off with a hot electrical smell about 5 seconds into spin.
Installed new motor, same thing. Spins 5 seconds, clicks off, hot smell. Timer continues to tick away...

Swapping Whirlpool Cabrio top

Hi. I have a weird question. I broke the glass top to my girlfriend’s Cabrio Platinum WTW8800YWO. Yep, got in the doghouse for that one! The top was absolutely outrageous to replace, but I found a Craigslist listing for a washer and dryer Whirlpool Cabrio Platinum. Washer is very similar except for a metal top. After running it on clean and quick wash no leak but bearings are rather loud. Later we ran the normal, sheets, and bulk. Every cycle leaked out the bottom. Pump looked fine. Appears...

gtw720bsnsn0ws will not Rinse

The washer will complete wash cycle and drain. Timer stops and does not fill with water. Motor hums. This does to his at all wash setting. The motor hums line if is trying to turn drum. It will eventually timeout and show wash has ended.

You can start wash has again and same thing happens. I noticed that there is not the typical sensing message at the beginning of the cycle.

Once this happens you can sometimes go to spin and drain. The washer will drain and then the spin cycle will run...

Fav6800AWW OD

I have read all about this error and I understand that it has to do with the left hand lock switch. In my case the switch works but I noticed that the little locking tab does not protrude all the way out and actually lock the lid. But my problem is actually getting to the switch. I insert a couple of putty knives in the front of the machine but I cannot pry open the front of the machine, I get no movement at all. I can't hammer a screwdriver into it that would be stronger than my putty...

Performa washer locks up on agitate cycle

Good morning. I have just found this forum while perusing the web looking for help with my issue, and I would like to say a big thanks to those here who are willing to help. The following post is long, but I wanted to be as precise and detailed as possible.

I’m working on a Performa PAVT910AWW single belt driven washer that recently began displaying a weak spin cycle in December that belongs to my ex-wife. Considering the age of the machine, I decided to replace both bearings, the thrust...
