Josh for Model Number ftf2140es1 My washinging machine is having a couple issues. When the wash cycle finishes, the clothes are still soaking wet. I change the cycle to the drian/spin which would normally drian the water and do another complete spin cycle to get the water out. The machine starts up normally and begins to drian the water, but then it just sits ther for a while and does nothing. After about 15 minutes or so, the drum will turn, very slowly, in one direction, stop, then do the same in the opposite direction. It does this about 4-6 times, then the cycle signal goes off as if it were done, but the clothes are still soaking wet because it never spun the way it would normally. In addition to that, every so often, no matter which actual wash cycle you choose, it will run through and signal that it's done. I will go out a short time later and when I open the door a bunch of water comes pouring out. Also there are times when the machine is empty and has had nothing in it for a day or so, and when I open it to put clothes in, it will be full of water, which then comes pouring out on to the floor. I changed the main control board out, and tried to run the drain/spin cycle to get all the wet towles I had in there rung out so that I can dry them, but it continues to do the same thing. I have only had the board switched out for a day, so I don't know if putting a new board in has helped the water issuse because that only happens every now and again. I would say the water issue happens about every 15 loads or so. Thank you for any help you can provide.
Answer Josh, Based on your post information, you'll need to check a few things. Replace the water inlet valve 134371220. There shouldn't be any water in the tub, when the machine is in the off position. Check the water level pressure switch and hose 134528801 disconnect the hose from the switch and blow in the end of the hose, this should clear any debris or residue from the hose. If the pressure switch doesn't reset to the "empty" position, the washer will not spin. Also check that the door is locked, and remains locked the whole cycle, and the washer drains the water in approximately 60 seconds or less. Read More...
