sounds like a bad pc or control board

You have an over fill problem-there is a small hose that goes to the level setting control-the hose or the fitting on the tub is clogged cheers Denny

You will need to replace the water pressure switch. Here is the part to order.

please the causes and remedies: God bless youf your Top Load Washer Has No Water Entering Check The Following Water Inlet Valve First check the hoses that connect to the water inlet valve. Remove these completely there should be a screen in at least one end and maybe both ends. Clean these screens. Next check the back of the water inlet valve screens and remove and clean. If cleaning these out does not correct the problem you will need to check to make sure you have power going to the water inlet valve. Most top loaders will have 120 volts going to the valve. Check each solenoid on the valve. You will need to have the washer on and turned to a fill cycle when checking. If you have power and still no water replace the water inlet valve. No power replace the control. Control / Timer This is less likely the problem but can fail. If you have no power going to the water inlet valve when selecting a fill cycle the timer/ control has failed and you will need to replace the timer.

Check for a belt. it may be worn or slipping.

Hi

This issue usually occurs due to kinked drain pipe, clogged drain filter or drain pump. First make sure that the drain is not clogged and remove clogs if present. If no visible lint is present then remove the lower front access panel to check the drain filter and drain pump for any clogs, you'll need to clean the drain filter and drain pump completely. Hope this helps... Please post back for any further assistance.

Is it a GE washer. The newer ones have an electric pump that can get plugged or burned out.

It sounds like the belt is slipping & the damping straps are not securing the movement. The top tub cover should have 4 short rubber straps securing the basket to the cabinet. This prevents the tub from hitting the cabinet while the washer is spinning. I would recommend having the damper straps & the belt checked. Other possibilities would be the transmission or the brakes hanging up.

Hi,

Shut off you water supplies, and disconnect yoyr hoses at the wall and at the machine. Inside either the hoses or the valves (solenoid valves) that they connect to are screens and hose washers. Gently remove the screens and clean out any debris then reinstall. This is generally the issue. If the problem persists, try to determine if the issue is on the "cold" side or the "hot" side. If you can isolate it to one or the other, the issue is probably one of the solenoid water inlet valves. This is easily replaced. With the power off, remove the valve. You can purchase a replacement at any appliance parts supply house. Take your old one with you for an exact replacement.

Hi.

It is probably a defective door latch. The door latch switch is checked in several parts of the cycle. Even if the latch is snapping, if the switch is defective the cycle may stop at random times

The door latch must be tested by running a cycle with its contacts jumped.

Other part that may cause the cycle stopping at different times is a defective pressure switch. The pressure switch is the sensor switch that detects the water level. Its signal is used by electronic control to determine when to advance in different parts of the cycle.

If the parts listed above are OK, more parts like wiring to motor must be tested. If everything else is OK the control board must be replaced.

Here all parts and diagrams for this model.

Regards.

hELLO THERE:
Lid switch If the lid switch is defective, the washing machine may not agitate or function at all. The switch is inside the washing machine main housing near the door frame. Often you have to raise or open the top or front of the washing machine to get to the switch. If it's defective, you need to replace it. Motor coupler relatively inexpensive motor coupling. It's plastic and rubber and is mounted to the shaft of the motor on one side, and to the transmission on the other. Over time, the coupler wears out and fails. If this happens, you need to completely replace it. Belts If a belt is broken or badly worn, you need to replace it with a genuine belt from the manufacturer. (Some washing machine belts are designed with special characteristics not found in automotive belts.) Clutch If your washer was made by GE®, it may use a clutch for agitating the clothes. As the clutch wears out, it may prevent the washer from agitating well or at all. If the clutch is worn, you need to replace it. For this job, you probably want to hire a qualified appliance repair technician. Drive motor Many washer brands use a reversing motor. For agitation the motor runs in one direction, for spinning and draining, the other. It's possible for a motor to burn out in one direction and continue to operate in the other. If this happens, you need to replace the entire motor. an to repair it. Agitator The inside of the agitator--where the transmission shaft attaches--can become worn, and strip out the spline that allows the agitator to properly grip the shaft. Then the transmission shaft rotates back and forth as it should, but the agitator doesn't move properly. If this happens, you may need to replace the agitator and/or the transmission spline.
