Appliance Type: Washer

I replaced my control board 3 weeks ago, due to the buttons acting wonky like switching to CLEAN from WASH when pushing start or changing spin speed when changing the temp. After replacing, the buttons worked great, but the washer would run a cycle. It would fill some water, then the tumbler would swing one way a little bit and then the other way a little bit. Then it would stop and unlock. If you hit start again, it would start the process again and stop again. I ordered it off Ebay and thought maybe the new board was defective, so I removed and installed the old one again. Buttons still wonky, but once they stayed on WASH, the washer actually ran the complete cycle. Returned that board and ordered another one from a different source and installed it yesterday. Same result as the 1st time. I need to know why the old one will run a cycle, but the new one stops. I was able to pull a E39 code from the new board. Once again, since I had clothes that needed to be cleaned, I reinstalled the old one just so I could wash a load of clothes. I still have the new board here though. Just doesn’t make any sense to me!! Please help! The control board that I have is WH12X10468.

The washer will try to shift to agitate but seems to get stuck.
It will not let me enter diagnostics so I can check the error code. What is the trick?
Is this the actuator or the motor?
Does this motor have a built in clutch or can it be charged? This is a Frigidaire

The clothes are coming out wet. At times it is not spinning at all.

Hi
i’m not able to go in test mode and see error codes and automatic or manual test

Hello, Please read the Question carefully. This top load washer is about 5yrs old. Goes off balance almost every load. The Ue code will show. Start a cycle, it fills ,agitates, then after a few minutes starts spinning in one direction with water in the tub. Bang, Bang, Bang. Stops and starts agitating again. Bangs with clothes or no clothes. When it is in a spin cycle, after a while UE shows up even with no clothes in it. The tub bearings are good. The tub nut is tight. The rotor is not loose. Can hear water in the balance ring. Washer is level. Had one do this in the past, I changed the suspension rods. Still did the same thing. I asked this same question 2Yrs ago. suggested change control & rotor before 2014, and rotor only after 2014. This doesnt sound right for the problem I’m having. Then look at a video where you use rubber bands. Please, I need real help. This is a real common problem, I have seen 10 LG washers doing this. I dont know exactly what is causing the problem. The washer worked ok for 5yrs. Customer is not loading it improperly. When you come up with a solution please explain how or why this solution will fix the problem. Thank You, Jim

Could it be a bad motor sensor ?

I press start button but it doesn’t start, how can enter into diagnostic mode in this unit.?

This particular washer when you start the cycle, the washer does nothing and within a couple of seconds goes into drain mode, and will not turn off. Any ideas?

After a wash or rinse cycle the drain hose will squirt water for a few seconds and the system then stops.
I can manually drain the washer and if I hit the timer spot right after a timer rotation the next segment will run until it hits the drain phase. If I manually drain the rinse cycle the spin cycle will complete normally, including draining its water. The drain hoses seem clear, and if I lower the washer’s drain hose to the floor I get a dramatic fountain of water.
I confirmed everything underneath turns freely. Replaced the belts on principal because they were 22 years old. Ohm checked the lid switch and it seems fine. Replaced the lid switch because it is so universally damned and no so expensive. The new one ohms out fine. Response to opening and closing the lid while running is fine.
Using my meter on the pressure switch it correctly identifies full and empty. Reads full after the drain cycle aborts.
The motor does not feel particularly warm.
Dryer is level.
When running generally sounds very smooth.
What else do I need to check/tell you?
