Wtw5000dwo stuck filling with water

Hey guys first time posting, I have a whirlpool wtw5000dwo that is about 5 years old on well water ( sometimes I will get sediment past my whole house filter) once in a while but becoming more often it will get stuck in "spin" mode but the water will endlessly run and dump down the drain ( the first time for almost 2 hours before I caught it), I'm worried it will flood or ruin my well pump if I dont fix it soon

Any help is appreciated, thanks

Washer only agites for part of the cycle

My Whirlpool washer wtw 4800 QX4 will agitate for 5 to 10 seconds at the beginning of the wash cycle and then another 20 seconds at the end of the wash cycle. I have just replaced the drive belt. It would not agitate at all previous to changing the belt. The spin cycle works well.

WT1701CW LG Washer Pulsator Keeps Coming Undone

We noticed a few days ago that the washer was stuck on the wash cycle trying to agitate. The "Wash" button light keep turning on a off and the washer seemed like it wanted to agitate but it would only rotate a fraction of an inch. It seemed like it was stuck on something. We drained the washer, took out the clothes, and noticed that the pulsator was loose/off kilter. I took the cap off and saw that the screw holding the pulsator was loose so I loosened it completely and took the plate off. After cleaning off the crud, it looks like the splines of the pulsator are gone (see pic below), so it seems the easy fix is just to get a new one.

But the real question is, is this from normal wear and tear or is there something deeper going on that needs to be fixed before the splines on the new pulsator get ground off too? Like do I need a new clutch or something?

Also, I'm including a pic of the shaft coming out of the motor assembly. It's splined too of course, but does it look like it needs to be replaced too?

Thanks,
Gaidzahg

wash machine stopped working

Hi,

So far I have figured out that my lid switch went out. Along with that, the wire harness (??) burnt out and melted. What I need is a new wire harness end piece with about 6 inches of the wiring. How can I get a replacement without purchasing an entire wire harness?

see pic

Kenmore He3T Diagnostic test Passed. Fail F)@ & SUDS

Drain/spin/rinse seems to stop working at the 2 minute mark on Normal Wash. (F02 and Suds Error) Have done the following:
-Cleaned out the drain trap 3x (in 4 weeks) - NOTHING FOUND
-Cleaned All hoses - No blockage, except 2 weeks ago I found a bra underwire at the top of the Tub to Trap Hose
-tub to pump hose
-pump to back of machine hose
-back of machine hose to sink hose
-Pressure switch hose and pressure tube connect at bottom
- Did not clean the Flow meter hoses.


The only things I have not done yet is to check the continuity of the Drain Pump, Pressure Switch and the CCU. What is the procedure in testing these items? I do not know what more I can test. Any help would be most welcomed.

FIXED Maytag bravos washer error code ld

Hi everyone my washer the other day was finishing up rinse cycle and it got an ld error code. The old I did before our daughter must have thrown a diaper in and it exploded I sucked the inside out of the tub with a shop vac but thinking maybe something got inside the pump? I unplugged it for 5 min and plugged it back in and I hear I’m assuming the pump humming but nothing else happens then after a few minutes it shuts off then it comes up with the code. After I power it off it still bums for a little bit maybe a minute or so. Does this seem like a clogged pump or something else?
