I replaced the clutch and coupler on this washer, and now I’m getting a grinding noise before the spin cycle starts.

I own a Whirlpool washer that was not running and giving me an error code of “E something”. I unplugged the washer, plugged it back in, worked for a day and did the same thing. I then had a technician out to my home, paid the $70.00 service call, and the technician told me he could not definitively tell me which part was bad. He said the error showed a communication error(?) and it may be my mother board or a motor board or something else(?). Estimate if I needed all parts was almost as much as I spent on the machine. Anyone heard something like this? How can they not know what is wrong with the machine?
Thanks,
Franklin

I ran the diagnostic on my Whirlpool washes I have blinking simultaneously light for FILL, RINSE and Done. What does this mean? Please help. I don’t want to try and open the top to get the tech sheet cause I need to know first what the problem is.

I have a Crosley washer. I have searched and searched and cannot find the model number. By appearance, I believe it is a CAW9244XQ4 . When you push the start button, nothing happens.
Here is the timeline of the failure:
– for about 1 week, when you pushed the start button, the light would come on for sensing and it would do nothing. If you held the start button to cancel, and hit start again, it would eventually finish the sensing and wash the load.
– for about 2 weeks, when you pushed the start button, the light would come on for sensing but it would not run. No matter if you cancelled the load or unplugged it, it would never continue on and run.
– currently, nothing happens when you hit the start button. No lights come on.
I saw this video on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSR1T8IZK28.
When I followed the key sequence, the washer went into diagnostics mode. I could select the same setting in the video, but it did not solve my problem.
How do I get instructions to all the testing and functions in the diagnostics mode?

Machine makes a lot noise like the machine is coming apart. I think it might be the suspension rods, but they are not broken.

I have a Whirlpool washer from the early 80’s. My timer is not advancing. I want to know how to repair the original timer since Whirlpool does not make the part any more.
Or I wonder if there is a universal timer switch that will have the same power connections and mounting brackets? Either way let me know, we have been tapping on the dial for years now to get the dial to move to the next cycle.

The washer is making a load noise like a train or plane loud taking off when it goes to final spin…
IF I run an empty load just the rinse spin it seems fine?
Doesnt seem to move on the floor or anything?
Is this a major repair? Clothes come out clean and well rung out… just really loud… If I spin the drum by hand moves smooth and no noise… and all the bar things inside are tight.
Its about 3 yrs old if that.
Thanks

Good morning. I saw your video on how to release the drain catch on a Maytag front load washer, but my model does not have a separate front panel. Its one complete front door panel so I’m wondering how I can go about resolving this error. Please note that the door is also closed and I have been unable to open. Thanks.

My washer flashes the FH error code and It also has a little water leaking out of the front door. I’m not sure what I need, to fix this. I’ve found a lot of videos stating it’s different things.

The machine fills to desired level and light indicator switches to wash the machine makes an engaging sound and nothing happens. The light indicate stage by stage as if it’s going through the whole cycle but when its complete the clothes are still wet but not washed. Would appreciate any suggestions on where to start, Tank you.

NOTE: I placed two black lines on my tub and agitator to observe individual movement.
Initial observations of the Problem:
My top load washer “roared” in either the rinse/spin and completed the complete cycle. (I should have paid better attention to detail.) In the 2nd rinse the washer stopped with water in the tub. I noticed a burning smell and the motor went into thermal shutdown. As I removed the V-belt I noticed much black rubber from the belt( V-belt track was cut). The water pump pulley spun with great difficulty. When I tested the transmission via spinning the transmission pulley counter clockwise (CCW) the tub spun CCW. When I spun the transmission pulley clockwise (CW) the agitator moved CW, however I don’t know it is agitating since I’m doing this task myself.
I believe the water pump pulley bearing cause a lockup such that the V-belt burned rubber. The electric motor recovered from thermal shutdown and turned on after allowing it to cool and with the V-belt removed.
Questions:
1) If the transmission pulley is spun CW what should be seen? Should the agitator spin around the 360 degrees? Would the agitator spin “X” degrees and then restart?
2) Could there be something else wrong with the agitator if it spins and doesn’t agitate?
3) What is the best way to check thrust bearing when the pulley is all black and I don’t see the “markers” the new translucent transmission pulleys contain?
4) Is it possible to just replace the water pump bearing?
Summary:
I know the belt and water pump need fixing or replacing. Questions #1and #2 are the most important since if the transmission is smoked there is a big cost. If you can provide answers to the all questions great?
Thanks in advance,
JP

Hello
The washer will fill with water just fine but when it starts to wash sometimes it wont start the cycle and then sometimes it will quit in the cycle and it will start a buzzing noise.This will happen in the spin and drain cycles also. Some times you can unplug it from the wall and it will start back up. And sometimes I can tilt the whole machine and it will start back up.
This washer is maybe 5 years old and ever since it was new it would get off balance easily and you will have to rearrange the load. Our old one was over 35 years old Maytag and we never experience problems like this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Cliff

Washer was making a loud squeaking noise and then stopped. Washer will fill up with water but then will do nothing. I love the videos but I have not found that addresses a washer that does not spin at all.
