Hello, there is a pressure switch for the water level regulation that seems to be malfunctioning in your unit at this time. You will need to replace this switch asap. this will correct this issue.

Thanks

It uses a small electric pump. Things get in it. The washer front panel comes off if you press downward between the top and front. The pump is easy to remove, take apart, and clean. If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/dan_73bbd84fe1d95b61

does all the water drain out? will the machine spin on any cycle? does the timer advance to off?

if the lid switch fails to activate then it would not let your machine spin on any cycle.

you should also check to see if cold water is coming into the machine. most machines rinse on cold water and if the water valve for the cold side fails - this could also be a cause.

it overflows from the tub then:
This can either be a fault in the fill sense tube( small tube connected to the bottom on the outer tub from the sensor at or near the top of the washer housing ) becoming blocked or broken or a fault with the sensor itself. There is a mechanical adjustment for the level but it is a little fiddly to get the adjustment just right.

If it overfills from the drain hose:
then either the drain hose is too low and the water siphons out before it reaches the maximum or there is a tight seal at the drain hose to house drain port which will cause all the water to siphon out, this can also be caused by a drain hose being pushed too far down the house drain port.

Those washer hang on four rods for support and they also use four rubber straps to control lateral movement. The rods can give and stretch with a big load and cause the motor to rub the floor. Remove the front panel by pressing downward between the top and front. (top is bolted down). Give it a look see with the front off to determine what is making the noise.

if the timer doesn't advance from either position,then its your timer motor and you will need to trace the power to the motor off the timer,if it has power then the motor is defective and you need to replace the timer unit

What you probably have is either a mechanical or electrical problem with your lid switch. Check it for continuity at the quick plug. Start by removing the front panelthen you can remove the top and access the lid switch. Either the tab aint hitting the switch assembly right or the switch is open ( no continuity) If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/dan_73bbd84fe1d95b61

sounds like a timer problem

see if nut on top is loose

timer fault

Hi,

This seems a drainage mechanism issue. Please verify to see how much drain line is in the stand pipe in the wall. Normally there should only be about a foot of drain hose in the pipe any more that that will cause a siphon effect that will **** out any water that goes in. The stand piper in the wall behind washer must be as tall as the washer itself. Please let me know if this does not help else please accept it.

Thank You for contacting Fixya.com

What you should do is remove the front cover and look for leaks. If the bungy straps are weak and worn they will allow for excessive movement in the large load and tend to slosh the water out. Section 3 of this manual shows how to access the machine. Do a load with the front off and use a flash light to look for leaks. Their will be moving parts so be careful. I have seen the hose from tub get a small pinhole leak, I have seen the drain hose leak, rarely the tub seal. But the lateral movement with a full load and water sloshing I have seen. This machine's tub is suspended on four hanging rods. Lateral movement is kept to a minimum with bungy straps. These stretch out over time, sometimes just flat break. That is where I suspect you are getting the water from,seen it before.

Check hoses or any gasket seals. If it's the latter, sometimes just tightning the bolts around the seal will fix the problem.

I would check the small hose from bottom of tub to water level switch for junk that is causing it to not FEEL the pressure. I would blow the tube out and re-connect it good and pump out the water. Then I would retry. If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/dan_73bbd84fe1d95b61
