What sort of machine is it?

That's tricky without seeing the machine. Unless you're near me that's also a problem. First and foremost check the fuse and unfortunately it could be many different problems. The list is as follows... Door interlock faulty, timer PCB, if you could give me some more details it would help. Have you any lights on?, will the machine do anything at all. That would tell us if it's getting power in or not. Get back to me if you can. Sorry I can't help more at the moment

Hello, water tends to sit in the rubber after a cycle, once you have finished, ensure you dry this area using a towel and leave the door and detergent drawer open to allow the unit to dry. Due to the unit getting warm within the cycle and then cool slowly it is a breeding ground for mould, especially in cold damp environments like a garage or utility room.

Good luck

call ur technician to check the control panel bottons

the best connecting the motor and the drum must be loose tighten it ,will fix your prb

Check to see that the hoses on the back are not kinked....then check to see if the water is turned on at the faucet.....if still nothing, then the water inlet solenoid inside the washer may be defective...you can initiate the wash cycle and listen for a click/pop type of sound near where the water lines go in...if nothing is heard, then the inlet solenoid may be defective

if it wont spin at all,it sounds to me like maybe the bush"s need replacing in the motor

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
I would gently suggest as a first step that you clean the drain motor lint tray/filter. So many 'faults' are caused by blocked filters and many machines will not even go to spin or release the door lock if there is any water still left inside.
Here are my guidance notes for checking both the drain motor filter and the drain motor ;-0)
-------------------------------------

If you are unsure where the filter is, it is often behind the front lower (kick) panel (or in some machines at the rear in an awkward position!) and most are held in by a round cover/knob. Sometimes the filter will not come out with the cover and you will have to persuade it to come out to play!

REMOVE POWER AND ENSURE YOU HAVE A WATER RECEPTACLE/RAGS TO SOAK UP THE WATER WHICH IS BOUND TO POUR OUT!
It's surprising what people have found in theirs! It is always worthwhile checking it on a regular basis.
Now- whilst the filter is removed it is normally possible to see the drain motor and ensure it is not jammed by a foreign object such as a needle or a toothpick. It should be able to be turned by hand/finger- the power IS OFF!
At this point it is also possible to test if the motor works. No clothes or water in the machine, select a spin cycle and put the power back on. You should be able to see the motor turning at some point, possibly straight away. If it doesn't work then the motor is malfunctioning!

Hope the filter is the problem and good luck!

If the filter is not dirty, then the pump is plugged or has gone bad on this model. You can try using a shop vac and **** the water out of the drain hose to see if anything comes dislogged in the pump or drain hose.
Open up the back of the machine and check the DRAIN PUMP and see if, when you take the hoses off, if there is something inside of it stopping it from spinning or hindering the water flow. If it is clear, check the voltage from the wires to the pump and make sure your getting power to it, if your getting power, also read the voltage and make sure it matches the Placard on the pump. If it is too low, then you probably have a bad switch or computer board. If it OK, and you disconnect the hoses and the pump spins OK, then you probably have a clogged hose.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

Sorry but I do not know your particular machine BUT I would suggest as a first step that you clean the drain motor lint tray/filter. So many 'faults' are caused by blocked filters. The motor is unable to drain all of the water in the allotted time.
If you are unsure where the filter is, it is often behind the front lower (kick) panel (or in some machines at the rear in an awkward position!) and held in by a round cover/knob.

Means the appliance is not draining. Remove the filter from the drain pump, this should be located at the bottom front, remove it and check for blockages and remove. hope this helps

Hi,

I'm assuming this is a duplicate!

Cheers, John C

There is a clamp that holds it in place. (bit like a big jubilee clip)
Normally this is accessed from the underside or top side of machine, the front does not come off.

Check filter first , then make sure the blades are turning ok the pump is fine is the outlet at the sink blocked does it pump freely into a bucket yes ...fault at sink ...

Hi

The issue is either with bad door lock-switch assembly or the control board that is bad and should be replaced. You can take the control apart and check the wires & also if any button is stuck you can unstick that and if the issue returns replace the control board. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.

empty water into tray..front bottom right ..undo cover ..check for objects in filter unit.refit then test.
