Do-It-Yourself Story

Unplugged and reset the machine several times. Machine still would not go past the first rinse cycle. Read several comments that said possible cause was the water level sensor. I noticed that the check vane was deformed and turned sideways in the opening, possibly from the hot water. Ordered the check vane and the sensor anyway. Couldn't be that simple, right? The sensor that I received, was not the same as the one in my machine. I changed the check vane, reassembled, problem solved. The check vane was allowing water to back up through the drain pump.
