My front load affinity wont spin and shows 18h and then error start blinking, Whats wrong with my washer?

Hey friend, thank you for the post!

I see you are getting an 18h code on your front load washer. Normally any error code would have the letter E or F in it. I would suggest that stands for 18 hour delay start cycle, you could do a reset on your washer by disconnecting power to it or turning off the household circuit breaker for ten minutes and turning it back on. Hope this information is helpful. -Matt

Check the wall socket with another electric gadget. Check your washer plug fuse. Finally open up the rear (after taking the washer power cord off the wall of course!) and disconnect and reconnect all wires and connectors one by one. Possible it could just be a loose connection somewhere. Sometimes happens due to vibration.

Click so pl if helped.

Are you sure it is an 18h? There is no such error code for this manufacturer anywhere. What cycle was it in and what was it doing/not doing when this happened?

If there is water left in the tub area then the pump is plugged, but if no water then the problem is the door latch switch.

try cleaning out the coin trap/drain hose that is underneath the machine
this is also the error code E20 which sometimes the machine will start flashing

wont spin because the unit is not drainning water...wont spin with water in it must drain first...check drain hose for kink,,,check waste pipe for blockage...and than check pump...onthejob

e 47 is a defective door lock asm pn 131763245 for about $67

18h is not an error code error codes will be displayed be an E followed by numbers this sounds like delayed start try hitting cancel then if that don't clear it try unplugging the unit for 5-8 seconds let me know if that don't clear it and we will run diagnostics on it

find tech sheet at bottom of washer and follow instructions for checking motor controller (at bottom rear)
