20 Most Recent Whirlpool AWZ410 Front Load Washer/Dryer - Page 4 Questions & Answers

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

Which tray is which?
A quick and easy way to find out which tray is which is to pull the detergent drawer out just so that you can see into it. Start a pre-wash and see where the water runs in, then advance to the main wash and observe. Finally start a rinse cycle and where the water goes in is where the conditioner/softener goes.
In a few cases I have come across, the pre-wash tray shares with the conditioner/softener part but the pre-wash powder goes in the front and the softener in the back.
Now a bit of FixYa/John C added value!
Methinks you could do with a manual for your washer- for now and probably later! Unfortunately FixYa cannot provide that direct - members of the forum are just people from all over the world, probably working from home, and not representing any particular manufacturer.
Manual
You will need to type into your search engine/web browser 'Whirlpool AWZ410 washer manual' and you should be presented with a number of sources from which you can either download for free or have to pay a nominal amount.
You could also try the manufacturer's web site direct ;-0)

If these have assisted you please consider a 4 thumbs up for the rating.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
I suspect it's not draining the water.

I would gently suggest as a first step that you clean the drain motor/pump lint tray/filter. So many 'faults' are caused by blocked filters and many machines will not even go to rinse or spin or release the door lock if there is any water still left inside.
Following are my complete and general guidance notes for checking both the drain motor filter and the drain motor ;-0)
REMOVE POWER AND ENSURE YOU HAVE A WATER RECEPTACLE/RAGS TO SOAK UP THE WATER WHICH IS BOUND TO POUR OUT (alternatively use a wet vac as sensibly suggested by VinnyB1234!)
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!). These panels are either held on by (plasic) screws or will just pull off. Most filters 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.
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. Using something suitable like a glove see if it is easy to briefly slow the motor down. If it is easy then the motor is malfunctioning.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
I suspect that it is the conditioner/softener tray which needs a thorough clean, paying particular attention to the sentences in BOLD ;-0)
-------------------------------------
Remove the complete drawer. To do this you will have to do one of the following-

• Top catch- push down the lip/catch at the middle rear and pull the drawer out (that's how our Bosch one is removed)
• release the catches underneath (our daughter's Indesit) or
• lift upwards on the tray as it is coming out to clear the lip underneath.

Once out identify which tray is for the conditioner- the others are simply 'chutes' and open-ended.
It will normally have some sort of cover over it which you must remove to expose the little stuck up pipe/tube. On some models there is just a small individual cap over the tube. The tube is down which the conditioner and water should siphon. It is likely to be blocked by 'gunge'- a mix of powder and conditioner. The whole of the tray, particularly this pipe and the bit which fits over it, must be completely clean and clear for it to operate correctly. It is worthwhile checking fairly regularly.

That button with the 1/2 on it and then the time dial works and it sounds as if it is washing your clothes, but it is actually drying the clothes but heats up water in order to do it. It is kind of insane actually but it does work and that is the way to do it.

 

 

 

Do you know if there is a place to clean a lint filter? Is there a lint filter somewhere?

you should ask your boyfriend. I hear he's pretty amazing

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
Providing that the tap is turned fully on and the hoses are not kinked or squashed at the back, this is symptomatic of a malfunctioning water control valve- the hot water one, if the washer is hot and cold fill, and the cold one if it is just cold fill!
Sorry but it needs replacing and a service call to confirm that it is not something else ;-0(
Good luck,
John C

Faulty pump (most likely clogged).Remove the pump hoses and clean out the pump.Please leave a rating.

Please, go to this page, fill in 'AWZ410' under 'Commercial Code', select the language which better suits your needs, and click 'SEARCH'. You'll be offered a lot of manuals, Select the one for your case, based on your specific model. You will be able to download both the complete and the summary versions of the manual (when available, that is).
Hope it is what you are looking for.
Anyway, please, let me know if i can help you any further.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

It sounds as though the water level sensing is misbehaving because it should not allow 'too much' water in but just the correct amount.
It could be a simple fault like the level sensing pipes and tubes have an air leak so that the sensor does not get triggered. Sorry but you will need a service call ;-0(
Good luck,
John C
