Keith May 11, 2023 Does this part fail commonly? Should I replace it if I have the washer tore down for a different repair?
Keith May 11, 2023 My washer spins, but it does not spins as fast as it should, would the speed sensor be the cause?
1 Answer Hello Keith, it is possible for the speed sensor to cause a slow spin, if no other problems are found to cause the inner tub to drag. Read More...
1 Answer Keith, The speed sensor will measure the rotation of the tub to ensure that it is not going too fast or too slow during the spin. Read More...
Keith May 11, 2023 Is there anyway to test the speed sensor with a multimeter to see if its good or not?
1 Answer Keith, Here is how you would diagnose the speed sensor. Diagnosing the Speed/Hall Sensor The speed/hall sensor can be diagnosed two • Enter the Service Mode and Run the Spin Test If the speed/hall sensor is bad or disconnected, ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? After 5 seconds, motor power will be stopped and a locked rotor fault will be set. If the washer continues to spin for at least 15 seconds, the speed/hall sensor is good. • Test the Voltage From connector pins 3 through 5 on the J602 should read approximately 9 VDC. Pins 1 through 5 should read approximately 4.5 VDC while rotating the basket. Read More...
Tim February 28, 2023 for Model Number HTW240ASK6WS Washer will put water in for a couple of seconds, stop then put water in for a couple of seconds stops then will put water in like it should. Washes, drain water out and stops won't move on. Notice may have used dish washing liquid, a lot of suds after the first wash and drain. Is there a sensor this may be affecting. Have change main control board still not working properly. Can a bad water level switch be a problem?
1 Answer Tim, if suds are still occurring, the unit would need to be put through a normal cycle while empty with one cup of vinegar added to the water once the unit has filled. Once the suds have been cleared thoroughly, the unit should operate properly. If not, the next step would be pressing and holding the start button (when the washer is in standby) until all of the LEDs blink. An error code should appear if the main control has identified a failure. If not, the main control WH22X38441C would be the likely cause of failure. Read More...
Jeff April 07, 2022 for Model Number GTW720BSN0WS This washer will not always spin the water out. It drains fine. Speed sensor?
1 Answer Jeff, It would be recommended to put the unit into a service diagnostic mode using the tech sheet located inside of the unit on the front cabinet and see if there are any stored error codes. The error code will guide you to what may be going on with the unit. Read More...
