Terminating Connector for Thermistor plug in GE Washer

So our washer has been giving us the dreaded pause in the middle of loads. The time left stays at 12 and nothing happens. The clothes are still wet. I've tracked down a bunch of posts and I'm thinking it looks like it could be the drain pump, water inlet valve, air hose leak, or something else.

I took off the drain pump and cleaned it well. It was dirty. The filter was also dirty, and the water that ran out of it had a very foul odor. I checked the hoses from the wall and there was no blockage.

I put it into Service Mode and got error codes: E22, E23, and E66.

I also noticed, that the wires leading to the connector on the thermistor had came off. I'm guessing that is NOT how it is supposed to be, as I can see pieces of the red/yellow plastic coating in the connector. My question is, how can I re-terminate this connection? Is there a way to open up the plug (similar to a female keystone jack on RJ45/ethernet plug)? I've attached two pictures. I'm guessing this could fix the E66 errors.

Anything else I should consider doing? Thank you all so much for the help!!

Frigidaire Affinity front loader washer - will not final spin!!

Hello washer experts,

Our Frigidaire front loader washer has been down due to this issue for a little bit now and it's becoming annoying. It washes fine and even agitates/spins fine when performing the wash, however, it does not do the final spin. Rather it makes a noise from the pump but simply does not spin. So far I have replaced the motor control board (or speed control board) in the back of the unit (not the main control/panel board on the top/front of the washer with all of the buttons and dial), as well as the door lock switch, and still nothing. The main black hose above the pump has been cleaned out so that should not be the issue, unless maybe the exit hose from the pump out to the drain is clogged? Do I need to replace the pump? Main control board (long electrical board on the top/front of the unit)?

Any input would be appreciated. I would really like to get this thing working again.

Thank you very much!!

Brian

WF395BTPASU tE error code - Samsung washer

About 5 second after powering on my washer, the code pops up.
I have replaced the thermistor, which did not solve this issue.
I looked at all the wires for corrosion and don't find any issues with them.
When I run the board input diagnostic test to check the water temp, it reads 437 deg F. Obviously this can't be correct. The Celsius reading is over 500 deg C, which is also not correct, nor is it equal to the Fahrenheit reading. Would might be causing this?
I know it's a temp issue. I am just not sure what is producing this bad reading, nor how to correct it.
Any thoughts?

Maytag Bravos - chirping sound when agitating

My Maytag Bravos washing machine chirps intermittently on the wash and rinse cycles when it is agitating. There is no unusual sound during the spin cycle.

I replaced the bearings and the rod so they are all new and everything inside is clean. I thought replacing these parts would solve the problem but the sound is still there. Is this a concern? Or should I ignore it?
