Google this; Neptune TL Washer FAV6800AWW

This is a DIY Appliance repair forum and you can get the Service Manual and repair support at that site..

In the Sticky: Neptune TL Washer FAV6800AWW 5 post down you will find a link to the Service Manual. You absolutely need the Service Manual to DIY issues with the machine. It's not the best SM but will get you started. I also have repair post in that sticky to help with the most common issues that I have helped owners with. I'm an owner of a FAV6800AWW top load machine.

In that Sticky I discuss what is the cause of DC or UC unbalance errors and the fix.

Water goes in it washes for little while then buzzer starts before wash cycle ends

Hi Gina,
When your machine stops during the cycle does it beep & hold some of the wash progress lights on?
This is how it displays where the fault is coming from.
The motor controller is the most common for this type of fault.
Thanks
Damien

Fisher and paykel model gw712 . During rinse or spin cycle unit goes out of balance and stops. The rince or spin light flashes and a beeping sound is heard.

your clothes load is too heavy on one side; stop it move some around and turn it back on and see if it doesn't wobble all over.

FAV6800AWW won't spin without going out of balance

Each of the legs supporting the washer need to be adjusted and the washer leveled. You will need a Level with bubble indicators to see the exact position of the liquid within & it is in the center of the glass container. Level front to back and side to side. When done the washer should be level at all 4 sides and it will not move around and cause the level indicators to trip any switches.

Top load neptune wont spin and finish

The DC error indicates the control determined the basket was out of balance and thus would not ramp up to a full speed spin. It is possible the noise from the motor is also causing drag and giving the board the impression that the basket is not moving freely. What is the model number?

Have Neptune FAV6800AWW top load, washes when it gets to the rinse cycle it stops with water in. If we remove the clothes and wait a while we can get it to complete. The code we are getting is DR which...

Are you sure the error code is DR? Could it be DC an unbalance error code. Google ""16022808.pdf"" to find. Is the washer banging around in Spin Cycle? If so this is a Clutch Pulley issue.

Google this ""Neptune TL Washer FAV6800AWW"" a forum where I help owners of the FAV6800A and FAV9800A machines.

DR is not a listed error code in the FAV6800A/FAV9800A Service Manual.

GETTING DC ERROR CODE WITH A GRINDING SOUND AND THEN IT STOPS COMPLETELY

The DC error code is 9 time out of 10 caused by a Clutch Pulley malfunction. The grinding may ne Outer Tub Bearings but need more info. Open the Washer Lid. Spin the wash basket CCW. Do you hear and grinding noise?

The noise may be coming from under neath the tumblers. Further troubleshooting is required.

Do you have basic DIY mech. skills and do you want to save your $1K machine?

If so Google Neptune TL Washer FAV6800AWW

Machine shuts off and gives DC error

A DC code indicates an out of balance load, and the need to Distribute Clothes (DC). It will not allow a high speed spin when this condition is present. Remove power to unit for 3 minutes and reconnect. If trouble persists, call in a pro as several components could cause a DC code without an unbalanced condition.

I own a kenmore elite heavy duty plus washer. During operation it stops and a message apears saying ob when you open the lid and close it ob disapears and I restart it and minutes later the timer never...

The OB error code is short for out of balance. There are two fixes that you can try: One is to move the clothing around in the tub. or Two the machine isn't level and is causing it to falsely error as out of balance.
