motor getting to much juice

Good afternoon, I'm working on a Kenmore washer that is a Canadian unit model # 970-C47192-10. the unit will power up but when it starts to go into the cycle selected it stops, I found the tech sheet and ran it through a diagnostic test, the only codt that keeps coming up is E-56 which it says is the motor getting to much juice i think is the way it was put. I ohmed the motor winding's and they where with in range. It said if they where then the speed control board would need replaced. My questions are does this sound like something that would keep the machine from working? and where is this board located? Thanks

WF330ANB/XAA Samsung front load washer displaying ND

Hi guys, have a Samsung front loader washer model WF330ANB/XAA which is 8 yr old machine. The machine stopped during the rinse cycle and started displaying ND code( no drain). So started another normal cycle from the beginning, this time the drum doesn’t rotate or fill with water , but can hear the motor sound and after 10 min it displays the same ND code.

I did these troubleshooting steps. Manually drained , cleaned the filter of the debris and still same ND error. I went ahead and replaced the drain pump, still no luck . The machine won’t work( spin) even on spin only cycle.

When working correctly, once we start a load in normal cycle, the washer drum rotates to redistribute the clothes for few min and then fills it with water, but now the initial drum rotation is not happening nor is it filling with water, just motor sound and after a few min into the wash cycle displays ND code even without water.

Anyone wants to take a shot at this? I am not sure if it’s the drum, pressure switch or anything else. Thanks

ge washer GTWN4950LOWS blinking green light

I have a ge washer GTWN4950LOWS that has a blinking green light and beep. it will not fill with water, just blinks and beeps. In field service mode it has a water meter error and the motor blinks 10 times meaning no communication. i jumped out the door switch and replaced the main board and no change. in fact, there is no voltage going to the inlet solenoids. i'm thinking i need to replace the motor, but i want to ask the pros before i throw another expensive part at it. did i miss something?

GE Washer Solenoid Voltage Question

My wife found that the washer would not progress through the cycle when washing with hot/warm water. It is a front loading washer so there is a brief sprinkling of cold water through the detergent dispenser. After that, the machine just sits and does nothing, no water coming in. No turning. The timer counts down but nothing happens. When we wash only with cold water, the machine works fine.

I opened the washer up and tested the voltage on the valve solenoids first on a cold wash. The voltage on both the cold and hot water valves was about 12-18 volts. Then I tested the voltage on the valve solenoids on a hot (color) wash. The voltage for the cold solenoid showed the same, 12-18 volts, but the hot water solenoid voltage showed 170-180 volts! Now, I know nothing about appliance maintenance, but this seems like a high voltage.

After testing the voltages, I applied an ammeter to both solenoids. The cold valve solenoid showed a draw of 2-3 amps. The hot water solenoid showed 0 amps.

My conclusion is that my hot water valve solenoid is shot.

Like I said, I know nothing about appliance maintenance so I thought I'd put this issue on here for some help. Can someone confirm that my guess is correct or, if not, what the issue may be?

Thanks!

By the way, this washer is a piece of crap! The concrete counterweight attached to the top of the plastic rear tub wore through the plastic holding pegs and fell down to the bottom of the floor. Also, the inside drain hose has just worn through due to rubbing against the rear tub and it's leaking all over the floor when it drains. Good grief.

Washer is making clicking noise while agitating

My washer has recently started making a clicking noise while it's agitating both during the wash and rinse cycle. I'd like to figure out what it is so I can determine if I can fix it myself. The click occurs each time the tub switches direction. Any ideas?
