Sharon October 22, 2020 for Model Number S5200E1WW No matter what water level is initially selected, when the rinse cycle begins the water only fills to the lowest level and then begins to agitate. What part might be the control for this? Thank you.
1 Answer Sharon, Check to make sure that the cold water is coming in at a steady pace and not trickling in. If it is then check the screens on the water valve to make sure that they are not clogged up. If this checks ok then check to make sure that the pressure hose is not getting clogged up. If this checks ok then the control board would be the issue. Read More...
Mike May 11, 2019 for Model Number Hotpoint model 240 My washer fills then does nothing else for 15-20 minutes then drains. No agitation or spinning . Would the problem be the motor capacitor?
1 Answer Mike, For a proper diagnosis, we would need you to please verify the model number from the units' I.D. tag since it will not come up for us as a valid model number. Read More...
Ed April 07, 2019 for Model Number WPSR3100W1WW; SN TV149450G My Washer (WPSR3100W1WW) stopped spinning and agitating. After trouble shooting a variety of possible causes I determined, the belt was good and if I rotated the motor by hand, the agitator would turn freely but the motor would not turn when electric power was applied -- The motor was hot to the touch. When I removed and inspected the motor (Model 5KH61KW251G8) I saw pin (M6) connecting the BLUE wire was discoloured (Brown) indicating overheating. My searching on line shows motor Model WH49X10035 is the recommended replacement and I see this kit comes with a motor" Start Capacitor" while a start capacitor does not appear to be in the original wiring of my washer? Should my washer with my original motor have had a starting cap? If I install the new motor (WH49X10035), should I modify the wiring to include a Started Capacitor? Thank You, Ed
1 Answer Ed, the starting capacitor should be used on the new motor. There is a wiring harness that comes with motor [WH49X10035] that allows for the use of the capacitor. Read More...
Wendy May 12, 2016 for Model Number avanti w797 I have a avanti w797 top load unit. the electric capacitor has damaged now. is there any capacitor can fix my machine? the capacitor model: CBB6-5 40uf+-5% 250v.ac 50/60hz very appreciate for your help!
Ahktag January 27, 2016 for Model Number WDSR2080D5WW The motor runs but the agitator is not turning and the water keeps filling and dumps. The level was on large setting, moved the control to last spin to empty the water it did pull the agitator out and noticed the coupler is bad. I am ordering one with new screw. Will that fix the problem?
1 Answer Hello Ahktag, This will correct the washing action but the unit over filling will most likely be the water valve WH13X10024. Read More...
David G. N. January 21, 2016 for Model Number WPRB8050D1WW Wife was running couple blankets through wash cycle, but didn't have water setting to maximum load. All of a sudden it started smoking from around the drum area under the lid, hit stop. Then hit spin and drain to get water out, which worked.did not spin though. Agitator didn't work either so figured belt broke/burnt up on it..took front of machine off, checked belt OK> then noticed the part on right side panel front edge melted down..wiring still intact. Unhooked wires from bottom, two male connections..I'm assuming that part ap4567124 would fix things.?
1 Answer Hello David. If just the capacitor was damaged, then that should be all that you will need to replace on the unit. Read More...
Frank January 21, 2016 for Model Number WDSR2080DAWW Machine runs fine except in spin cycle. Seems to continue rise in RPM's and noise increases to unbearable pitch.
1 Answer Frank, The most likely cause for the issue with the noise during spin will be the tub bearing part number WH2X1198. Read More...
Ray July 17, 2015 for Model Number WPRB8050D1WW The motor on my machine hums when plugged into the electrical outlet and gets hot, won't spin when turned on. when I disconnect the motor the humming stops. Could this be the capacitor or did the motor die? Is there a way for me to test it?
1 Answer Hello Ray. Take the belt off the motor and see if it runs or hums. If it hums, the motor is bad and will need to be replaced. If it runs, something may have the transmission locked up. Read More...
Jim M May 30, 2015 for Model Number WPRB8050D1WW Is the electrical power supposed to drop off the capacitor when the motor gets up to speed? Is this a start capacitor or run capacitor or combination?
1 Answer Jim, This capacitor is a run cap and would not drop power when the motor gets to speed. Read More...
Bob May 07, 2015 for Model Number WDSR2080G3WW The washer will go thru all it's cycles except spin with clothes in it. Replaced timer,water level pressure switch, and belt. Machine will spin with nothing in it. Is it possible the capacitor is bad ?
2 Answers Hello Bob, I would pull the agitator and check the agitator coupling WH43X10032. This part will look like the splines are good but will spin instead of driving the agitator when bad. Read More...
