I have a 7 years old Bosch WAS32742AU/08 washer, it will wash, rinse then will power itself OFF with nothing on the display when it reaches the softening cycle with where it begins to fill water there is about 10mins left in the cycle. I can turn the dial OFF then back to the same program to resume the cycle, it will start filling with water again in the softening stage and power off again. I've checked the water level pressure switch hose and cleaned the chamber, I dont't think there is a problem with that because it works during the cycle until the softening stage. I can run and complete the Drain only cycle, Rinse only cycle, Spin only cycle and 15min Quick cycle without interruptions. It's only programs that has the Softening part of the cycle it powers off when filling water in the middle dispenser compartment during the softening stage where Valve 1 and Value 2 are open. I don't even use softener and the compartment is clean. The current work around is when it Powers OFF during softening, I turn the dial to OFF then select the rinse only cycle to complete the washing. I got into the Valve test mode and found that Value 1 and Valve 2 tests are OK individually but when it V1 and V2 are both ON to fill the middle softener dispenser compartment it wont stop filling and eventually the machine powers off. I posted a video of the test here: https://streamable.com/n1gw6 Do you know what the problem could be?

Check your lid switch. If the washer fills and agitates, but stops at the rinse cycle, or, if the washer fills, then stops and will NOT drain, this is a common symptom of a lid switch malfunction. The following link explains how to access and/or replace one:

The lid switch is usually mounted under the washer top casing, on the right hand side on most top load models. It is activated by a plastic piece on the lid (called a "Lid Strike") through a small hole on the rim of the wash tub opening. In many cases the lid strike breaks off the lid, or the lid switch becomes loose and no longer makes contact. Inspect the lid to make sure the lid strike is still intact, and then inspect the mounting screws (adjacent to the small opening on the wash tub rim) and make sure they are snug.
On some models, the lid switch is located under the top casing by one of the lid hinges. You will know if you if you have this type of switch, because It does not have a lid strike and the small hole on the right hand side of the wash tub will not be present. This switch is actuated (toggled) by a rod on the lid hinge. With this type of switch, if you locate it and it can be toggled by hand, you may only need to adjust the actuator by bending it slightly.
A replacement lid switch (if required) can be purchased at any of the following web sites:
searspartsdirect.com
pcappliancerepair.com
appliancepartspros.com
repairclinic.com
The average price is about $20 - $30. Prices differ between these sites, so shop around for the best price.
This is a very simple repair, but if you have questions, please let me know. I hope this helps you.
NOTE: You do not need to drain the washer to replace the switch.
SOURCE: Top loading washer that won't aggitate, or rinse.
without knowing more details, and considering it's age , my guess is that you have a disconnection (or a loose wire) to the solenoids under the tub. these solenoids activate the clutch system that pulls it into agitate and spin modes. it might be the solenoids, but rarely do both go out at the same time. it might be the timer contacts or connections behind the control panel. or, it might be the timer its self.
try unplugging the unit and check all the connections.
hope this helps jay
SOURCE: Kenmore washer fills with water but no cycles work.
You should always check your lid switch first to make sure that's not the cause, and usually that is the cause for this problem. I had exactly the same problem as described above and did my research online. I found that the best way is to check the lid switch first and sure it was bad. The switch case was actually cracked open and that's the reason for the malfunction of the switch. All i did was using an electrical tape and wrap up the switch case and it works fine again. I was lucky that the switch was fixed just by some tape, others may have to replace the switch completely.

My washing machine is F&P MW512, it
cannot fill up cold water properly, just drip. I need to turn on the tap for
the tub for a few second, then it properly fill. After one cycle, it happen again. Is it something wrong
with the water pressure?
