Appliance Type: Washer

My front load washer had been working properly, suddenly it stopped working at the beginning of a load. When I press any buttom it does not make anything. When I turn the knob, the little screen on the washer only shows parts of numbers. I tried to get the error code but it does not respond either. Thanks

I can’t get my washer to spin and I keep hearing a clicking sound. I’ve turned it on its side and took off the shield, the belt and motor turn freely by hand. After watching one of your videos, I’m thinking I need the shift actuator part # W10006355 but wanted to see what you think before I purchased it. The washer appears to have a small leak, the actuator looks a little rusty.

I went trough the diagnostic mode and ran a few tests. In the diagnostic mode it starts up normally, fills with water, empties water and spins normally at a slow/medium speed. The error codes that show are F1 E2 which from what I have read is a problem with the Drive motor or Main electronic control board. When I go to calibrate it starts to spin for a split second then it comes to sudden stop as if it gets stuck and the lid lock light starts to blink. This all started because when we try to run the washing machine and it would stay in sensing mode with the lid lock flashing while making a loud humming noise. I eventually smelled an electrical burning smell after leaving it in sensing for several minutes. After attempting this again I am noticing that after it goes through the sensing mode a couple of times and it wants to start up but it looks like it gets stuck because it comes to a sudden stop just like it does when its trying to calibrate.

Could this be the drive motor or main electronic control board?

I’m a marone member trying to use your web sight apparently we do not get premium videos unit does not go in to spin kenmore washer washes drains but no spin then sd code and f51

I am getting an F35 error on my washer as well as “SUDS” coming up. Been trying to find a video that might help me diagnose and repair it myself. Any thoughts on what could be causing it? Trying to get some direction.

My washer has been making a noise and finally stopped spinning. When we took back off the belt was off and the clutch was off. What do I need to do?

i ran a diagnostic test on the washer but do not know how to interpret the codes.
code 1: F: sensing rinse done E: done
Code 2: F: sensing rinse spin done E: rinse spin done
code 3: F: sensing rinse spin done E: done
code 4: F:sensing spin E: done

Can you please tell me what this means….
The washer will not spin (makes the noise like it is spnning, the lock button flashes)

The machine stopped and door is still locked and there is no power to the front panel. I’ve checked the circuit breaker and the outlet and there is power there. As I started to move the washer to work on it the power came on for a moment and displayed the (PF) code then powered off again. Which my manual says is “Electric service was lost when washer was running” Solution says to restart the cycle by pressing the cycle selector dial but as I said there is no power coming to the panel. I’m very mechanically inclined and to broke to call a repair person so I would love to do this myself if you could point me in the right direction. Any help you could provide would be awesome. Thank You!

Just watched your video and our washer has all of the symptoms of having a bad rear bearing. The washer is 9 years old. Is it worth fixing ourselves? Is it difficult?

I have checked and double checked the leveling of the washer and it’s perfect, but I still get the loud banging noise like the tub is out of balance and banging into the side of the washer’s frame.

My LG front load washer works like a charm, however every 10-15 loads or so it overfills. The water level in the washer will rise all the way to the top of the viewing window, and eventually overwhelms the door seal. Each time this has happened my wife and I have been stuck cleaning up apx 35 gallons of water. In between episodes the washer works great, the pump works, and the drain hose works. I have checked the filter, the sump, and the door seal/gasket all of which appear to be in fine shape. I suspect the appliance has a sensor that should be kicking in and preventing sooooo much water from filling the washer. Any suggestions?

I have a Maytag Bravos washer it’s used and it will not wash, when i press the start button the lights come on with the sound but that’s all it won’t do anything when i push start.

I have a Kenmore washer that the unit is not spinning and the clothes are sopping wet; but there is no standing water inside the tub. It sounds like it is in a spin mode but it is not spinning. I have checked the motor coupler and it appears to be fine… nothing is cracked or stripped… it seems to be in good condition. I have also checked the water hoses attached to the water pump and there is no blockage. What other conditions would cause the unit to not spin??? Would a possible transmission issue be next to check??? The unit sounds like it wants to work but nothing appears to spin; and the fabric softener is not dispensing during usage.

Thank you for any help –

i have a lg washing machine that wont spin just stays in one spot makes noise change water inlet valve and the drain pump out of answers do you have any

My husband is determined to replace the belt on our washer himself, but I couldn’t find a video matching our model. Any help you can give would be appreciated.

I have a washer that is testing my patience. Originally it wasn’t spinning out and I noticed the lid latch seemed loose, so I assumed it was the problem. Replaced it and same issue. Read on another website it could be the board, so I did that. Same thing. Anyone on here think of what else I could get my hands on to check? Really don’t want to have to buy a new one.

Hello, my front-load Whirlpool is making a clunking noise when it spins. When I stopped the machine and started to spin the drum by hand afterwards, I could hear an almost scraping-like noise (almost like there’s a coin or something stuck between the rubber band and the actual drum), but when I pull the rubber band back and look in, I can’t see anything there.

I’m concerned that something has fallen below the drum itself. Do you have any suggestions on how I could get to it or how I should proceed? How bad is this for my machine?

Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

When starting a new washing cycle, the machine used to fill with water when the lid was closed, then the agitator would start after a few minutes…..Now, as soon as the lid is closed, the washer begins agitating with no water in the tub. The water starts filling about 5 seconds after the lid is closed with the agitator still working. The rest of the cycle appears normal until final spin…..It leaves some water (about 1/2 inch), at the bottom of the tub after the end of cycle. Now, the only way to get all water out of the tub after final spin is to turn on the extra rinse feature. This occurs regardless of wash type setting.

I am trying to release the transmission from the unit to further look at possible tub not spinning problems. I have seen where you have to release the internal screw from at the bottom of the dispenser that helps to hold the transmission shaft. The screw head is stripped; and I am assuming that someone else has been into the unit. Is there a way of getting the screw off; or the plastic agitator shaft completely out of the way so I can continue at removing the transmission/basket drive from the bottom.

Thanks… Fred in Lubbock. TX

The washer fills and stops. Replaced lid switch that wasnt the problem

washer was shaking. replaced the gear case. then the gear case shifter motor because it wasn’t locking in gear. Now I am getting a le code. Please advise

Washer takes all cycle selections but will not start.

After pushing the start button the washer acts like it’s trying to start then stops and then the lid lock LED flashes for about 5 minutes and unlocks. I’ve run it through the automatic test and it all works fine. I just got laid of and can’t afford to pay someone to fix this and can usually fix most things on my own but I’m stumped with this. I’ve tried to get the diagnostic codes but have failed everything. Not sure if I don’t understand how to get then or if it’s just not working. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

My washer seems to only work intermittently. Some days it runs full cycles and other days it quits mid way through and I have to open and close the lid and restart it. Seems to be fine after that. Any thoughts on where I should begin?

My washing machine seems to just quit working before spinning my clothes dry. I can normally restart it but now it just won’t do anything after washing and draining. Would greatly appreciate some help in figuring out what is causing this to happen. Could my husband do the repair or would it be too complicated? I’m never sure on what to do when it comes to our appliances and whether we should just get a new one.

DOES NOT agitate
Makes low humming noise
Eventually starts making squealing noise like a loose car fan belt
Eventually burning rubber smell appears
DOES spin
DOES drain/fill water

Thanks.

[edit] The belts look ok, although the one to the big pulley seems loose? I can rotate the big central pulley about half a rotation either way before the pulley ‘catches’, and then the belt starts to slide.
