Galen for Model Number LSR5132PQ0 Mod LSR5132PQ0 Type 111 Serial # CR3106905 MFG Date (guess) 21-07-2004 Breif background of machine: Machine functioned flawlessly for first 2 years after which: 1) It was transported by a poorly-operated moving service. 2) It was stored in an unheated garage for approximately 1 year and further stored in a home basement up until April 29th, 2014. 3) While in storage, the "Load Size" selector mechanim's switch stem and knob were broken-off. 4) After some disassembly for access purposes, I carefully re-attached the internal "Load Size" mechanism's stem using a powerful adhesive, and then, after reassembly, re-mounted the "Load Size" knob on the "Load Size" mechanism's stem. 5) Finally, I attempted to run the machine in order to perform a full 'test wash' cycle--a complete test run of both "Normal" and "Casual" settings, and in both "Small" and "Large" load settings . Here is what I observed regarding my attempts with "step 5": A) The machine fills non-stop--to the point of overflow--unless manually halted. B). Even when manually set to the 'agitate' portion of a cycle, the machine will not agitate. Instead: silence. C). However (in both "Casual" and "Normal" modes), when manually set to final "Spin" the machine seems to properly spin until emply and automatically shuts down. In response to the above "A" and "B", here is what I did: First: I removed the clear plastic "pressure"? / "vacum"? tube that attaches to the "Load Size" internal mechanism. Then I alternately appied pressure and vacum to the tube, and did the same to the point of connection on the "Load Size" mechanism--where the tube attaches, and then re-attached the tube to the "Load Size" mechanism. Then (while still inside the front control panel), I double-checked all mult-circut connections / jacks that connect the machine with both the "Load Size" control mechanism and the "Regular / Casual" cycle / dial, control mechanizm. Alas, my efforts have had no effect: the machine still malfunctions in the same manner previously describe. Any advice will be appreciated. Thank You, Galen
Answer Hello Galen. If you can stop the water from entering the machine by turning off the timer or unplugging the unit, you will need to look for a bad pressure hose or replace the pressure switch. If the only way to shut off the water is at the shut off for the water hoses, you will need to replace the water valve in the unit. Read More...
