Sansung wf361bvbewr/a2 not filling on Normal/Heavy Duty cycles - all others work

Title pretty much says it all. It works fine - hot, cold or other in every cycle but normal and heavy duty. I double checked the hoses/drain/etc based on all I could find here and through google.
I'm guessing I need to replace the main pcb board. Any other ideas first?

Thanks,
Tom

Affinity Starts, fills, unlocks, then pauses and won't restart.

Affinity front load washer (FAFW4011LWO)

Issue: Machine will start a cycle, door locks, water runs and fills, drum turns for a minute or so then stops, the machine sits for a second, then the door unlocks and pause screen comes up. After that, it won't run at all, or drain, until I leave it unplugged for a while. If I start it up again, it will drain effectively, but repeats the same cycle again.

What I've Tried:

- Cleaned out the tub-to-pump drain hose. There were some coins inside, but water seemed to flow freely.
- Visually Checked water flow from hoses. Pressure appears normal.
- Checked the screens on the intakes. Clean.
- Replaced the control board. I probably shouldn't have spent so much money on a crap shoot, but, I gambled and lost. This didn't solve the issue.
- Checked error codes. The first few times I did this I got E11, which is what made me check the intakes and hoses. ( I did not test the pump.) I cleared the error code, and now it just displays E00.

I thought it might be the door lock, but I can hear it engaging. Could it still be the pump, even though it does drain sometimes?

Thanks for your help.

Josh

What is this rubber thing I found inside my washing machine cabinet?

My washer hasn't been draining properly; I just ordered a new drain pump, so we'll see if that fixes it.

But when I was looking inside the cabinet, I found this long rubber piece lying on the bottom (see pix). It's not the belt -- the belt is intact. It's also thicker and softer than the belt material. Is it a different belt? A seal? A gasket?

I also found a Tub Seal, in new condition, lying on the bottom. I have no idea how it could have gotten there, although I now wonder if I was sold a reconditioned washer that someone just carelessly left junk in.

If anyone can identify what this is, and what it might mean that I found it lying on the bottom, I would be very appreciative

Thank you.

Whirlpool Cabrio Washer F7E1 Code

My washer just stopped working earlier today. I'm getting an error code F7E1. I ran the manual tests... the washer passed the agitation test, but failed the spin test. Then I put the washer on the "rinse & spin" cycle and it filled with water while spinning every few seconds. Once filled with water there was a clicking noise for a few minutes. Then the washer did nothing for several minutes, finally drained, did a high spin for several minutes, and then the cycle was complete.

Any ideas on what could be wrong with my washer???

I appreciate the help.

LG Washer WM0642HW not draining

Our LG WM0642HW washer gave an error code OE.

I've removed the pump and cleaned it and removed a clog from the drain line.

When I tested the washer, it fills but when it goes to the drain cycle it does not drain. If I open the manual drain line water is forced out by the pump.

I can't seem to find what else may be clogging the drain line. I disconnected the drain line one more time and flushed it with a garden hose, but when I reconnect the line the washer still does not drain.

Should I replace the pump?

Black greasy buildup

I own a Maytag dishwasher (MDB6769PAW0) and we keep getting a black/brown greasy like substance built up over a period of time. To realistically keep it clean, I would have to take the inside apart monthly. If I wait longer the buildup can grow quickly.

What I have done so far. I checked to make sure my dishwasher drains. We heat the water in the sink and run the disposal before starting the washing. The dishwasher drain-line is it elevated between the dishwasher and sink. We have tried the two or three in one pods, liquid detergent, powder detergent mixed with lemi-shine. We also use a rinse-aid. The last time I cleaned the dishwasher I pulled everything I could out and cleaned with bleach. I have cleaned the drain line and replaced the feed line. I am still getting slow buildup.

We live in the pacific northwest, we don't have hard water where we live or high humidity. This was never an issue with our last dishwasher. I have replaced the heat element and my dishes come out dry, but there is water on the door and roof of the dishwasher. I have also replaced the food chopper. Before I pay for a service tech, which is about half the cost of a new dishwasher, I am hoping there something I can learn from this forum.

I am including a few photos, which show what the substance looks like. This is an more extreme example of the buildup, we don't let it get this bad anymore.Click image for larger version.  Name: IMG_2350.JPG  Views: 0  Size: 91.5 KB  ID: 38480Click image for larger version.  Name: IMG_2348.JPG  Views: 0  Size: 96.4 KB  ID: 38481Click image for larger version.  Name: IMG_2352.JPG  Views: 0  Size: 154.5 KB  ID: 38482
