No parts are replaceable within the pump. Buy a new pump.

Hello,

Before wasting money on a timer that wont be returnable once it is removed from the packaging please respond to me and tell me does the washer do everything including draining, and the only thing it will do not do is spin
or will it wash but not drain and spin
their are 2 posibilities based on your response and neither is the timer

Thanks,
Gene

so ya know i have beena appliance repair technician for over 30 years

First be sure you're getting power to the motor this could cause both problems. If getting power then sounds like you have 2 problems. Dryer On the heating problem be sure you have 220 volts at the power block, check the heating element , thermostats & high temp cutoff with an ohmmeter. Also check the centrifical switch on the motor it keeps the heat off for safety till the motor is up to speed so the fan is working. Washer Check lid switch some machines won't do anything but fill with the lid open . To check lid switch push the the switch down with a small screwdriver. If switch is ok check the coupler between the motor & transmission it can cause no agitate or spin. If all these are ok you may have a transmission problem. Last resort may be timer or wireing.

you can't do that,why didn't he just run a 240 volt plug to the dryer

bad lid switch

you might have broken something else off of the timer go here https://www.repairclinic.com/PartDetail/Timer/WP3946432/4434024 is the white part still on timer shaft?this is the piece that the indicator knob slides onto so it's not loose and free spinning,i looked up your model and the indicator knob is no longer available www.searspartsdirect.com/model-number/LTE5243BN0/1198/0152000.html?searchType=modelSearch&q=LTE5243BN0&searchTerm=LTE5243BN0 go here and you can see your machine

Your most likely suspect is the "ATC" switch... it is the only part that can interfere with the operation of the valve. ATC stands for automatic temp. control: Whirlpool Washer Dryer Combo Temperature Control Switch WPW10114118 They suck!

Try shutting off the hot water valve on the plumbing and start the washer with a warm water setting. If you get no cold water, check to see of the cold water hose is plugged with debris, if not the cold water valve may have a broken or disconnected wire. or the valve may have failed. Hopefully it is just a plugged hose.

If nothing is working at all it is probably the timer switch (dial you turn) they die. Not too expensive to fix. If you are comfortable with tools you can very likely do it your self. I know this because I paid a service to do it. When he was done, I went - Huh, that's all there is to it? It is just above Lego. If I remember correctly it took him less than 15 minutes to do it but I of course had to pay the minimum service call charge. So just find a YouTube video for changing timers and you'll see what I mean. Of course if it is not the timer you just wasted time and money. I don't know how to confirm if it is the timer that is broken. Perhaps there is a diagnostic video.... Good luck B .

I'm not familiar with your model but on the surface it sounds like the belt is loose. If the load is not really well-balanced, a loose belt can't move the drum and when the load is balanced the motor turns really fast because the belt is slipping. Tightening or replacing the belt is fairly simple with normal tools and there are plenty of pages/videos out there on how to do it. Hope this helps! Good luck!

I wouldn't know as you are asking this question in vacuum section

the lid switch can be changed without removing from closet for sure,you can remove the angular access panel between the2 units youll see 2 brass clips holding the cabinet to the top, slide the entire top toward you to remove. its located under there. there may be 2 screws across the rear of main top holding down as well but yea pulling out will get you kn more access to any component

I think the control board is at fault

Please check this link: Removing cover

If you cannot pull the timer out, you will need to replace the timer. Here is the part to order. Here is the service manual to show you how to access the timer.Regards,Richard Rothhttp://appliancecafe.com

Unplug the unit, remove the rear panel on the dryer, check the thermostats for continuity. Below is a video to walk you thru the process. The model may be different but the process is the same.Regards,Richard Rothhttp://appliancecafe.com

yes in that way work. Is o.k the power for dryer will be more strong that the washer, The reason is heating elements fro dryers.God bless you

the main problem is how stable the foundation is for the laundry center when it goes into its spin cycle.

see the causes and use the common sense. God bless youLid Switch This is the most common reason for the washer not spinning or agitating. This is easy to check. You will need to remove the switch, this varies with model type but the testing will be the same. When the lid is closed the switch should have continuity when the lid is opend the switch should have no continuity. If it differs replace the Lid Switch. Timer To check the timer you will need to refer to the wiring diagram or disassemble to access the motor. Check the leads from the timer to the motor when turned to a wash cycle this should have 120 volts. If not replace the Timer, if it does the timer is not the problem. Motor To check the motor you will need to disassemble the washer to access the motor. First you can check the motor windings, to do this remove the plug and connect ohmeter to terminals. Refer to the tech sheet or service manual for the proper reading. Check motor for shorts by connecting ohmeter to terminals and motor housing should have no continuity. Connect voltmeter to motor wire connector and check for voltage. You should have 120 volts, if you do and the motor does not run replace the motor. If it does not have power the problem is elsewhere. Belt If your washer is a belt drive type make sure the belt is tight. Check for black soot from belt wear. Replace if it has excessive wear or broke. Motor Coupler This is a fairly common problem with direct drive machines but inexpensive and easy to replace. The Motor Coupler transfers power from the motor to the transmission. The following video will walk you through the replacement of the Motor Coupler. Transmission The transmission does not usually fail. To check this on a direct drive remove the motor and then turn tub inside. If it spins freely with no noise the problem is elsewhere. If it is noisy it needs replacing this is expensive and depending on the age of your machine you may not want to replace it. On a belt drive remove the belts and spin tu
