Steve1147 for Model Number GHW9150PWO My washer would run up to rinse, then shut down and show F-13. I ordered and replaced the dispenser actuator assembly. With the top off I watched, it now starts and washes all at position II, then when it hits rinse, the dispenser motor sweeps the pointer back and forth from I to IV pausing very briefly at each number, and after several full passes, shuts down again with error code F-13, what can cause this? Thanks! Steve W.
Answer Hello Steve, Here's what I've found on the F-13 fault code: F13 Dispenser circuit error If the dispenser motor is not able to be driven to it’s proper position. Potential Causes • Check mechanical linkage from dispenser motor to the top of the dispenser. • Check Wire Harness connections to the dispenser motor and Central Control Unit (CCU) • Check Dispenser Motor Replace failed component.

This self-diagnostic circuit is a man made circuit which can fail also. If, after you double check the dispenser, you cannot find a definate problem, the control WP8182695 is a consideration for replacement. Don't buy a control until you have thouroghly checked the dispenser as it is easy to overlook something. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Friday, April 27, 2012
