Tony September 14, 2013 for Model Number wm0642hw I was out of the house when this happened, but the washing machine tripped to the surge protector. When I reset the surge protector the washing machine will no longer turn on or show any sign of life. I confirmed that the outlet is receiving power. Is there a fuse within the washer that may have burned out or another part that could be causing the washing machine to now turn on now.
1 Answer Hello Tony. No. You need to test for power to the control board. If there is power there, and it does not run, you will need to replace the control board on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Kristen February 12, 2013 for Model Number wm1814cw My washer has started to shut off with 10 mins left on the cycle. It will begin the spin one way then the other but will not start the final fast spin and then throws up the UE code (even when empty). I have cleaned the drain and looked at everything that I think it could be. Please help
1 Answer Hello Kristen. Based on the information you provided, you will need to order and replace the bracket assembly 4811ER3001A on the unit. Read More...
Carlos June 19, 2012 for Model Number wm3677hw Can cause which issue not drying or poor spinning? And what is the vent assembly?
1 Answer Hello Carlos. The drying poorly issue and the vent assembly is where the air comes out of the dryer assembly and it removes the warm moist air in the unit. Read More...
Carlos June 18, 2012 for Model Number wm3677hw Could this sensor effect drying, as in leaving clothes wet but hot or cause poor spin in spin cycle?
1 Answer Hello Carlos. Yes, the sensor 6501FA2462E can cause this issue. Most of the time the issue is the vent assembly not properly working and it causes the issue you are having. Read More...
Travis March 28, 2012 for Model Number VM1832CW Is this the hall effect sensor? If not what is the part number for the hall effect senor?
1 Answer Hello Travis. The sensor you were lookin at is the ball sensor used to sense an out-of-balance load. The hall effect sensor is part number 6501KW2002B. Read More...
Jeff January 02, 2012 for Model Number WM1832CW We had a problem with a UE error a few years ago. The tech replaced a sensor and the problem went away. We are getting the UE error again. The machine is level (front to back & side to side). I have adjusted the load (clothes in the dryer-small load, big load...) multiple times. I keep getting UE. If i remove all clothes, it gets thru the cycle. Is it a bad sensor, or just the clothes bunching up?
1 Answer Hi Jeff. The U.E. code can be from anything that will allow the unit to be unbalanced. • The load is too small.• The appliance is tilted.• Laundry is gathered to one side.• Non distributable things are put into the drum. Make sure that the unit is level front to back and side to side. Make sure the level legs are locked with the nut tightened back towards the base. Make sure the legs can grip a clean floor. If the legs are damaged they are part # AFC72909501. Remove the top. look to see if the top center tub springs are located in the top frame mounts and lightly greased. They need to be replaced in pairs. They are part # 4970FR2084N. Open the back and see if the tub shocks are loose or if there is any grease or oil leaking out. They are part # 383EER3001E. If the holding pins are broken replace them with part # 4774FR3118B. Open the door and with no clothes, spin the tub and see if there is more than 3/8" run-out (up and down movement) of the tub. Make sure that it is not wearing into the front of the boot assy. The tub is part # 3045ER1006E. Check the back pulley bolt. Is it tight ? It is part # 4040FR4051C. Are all the shipping bolts in the back removed ? Thank You. Read More...
Mike December 16, 2011 for Model Number WM0532HW I have previously asked about sensors for the LE CODE; which sensor is the most common repair for this problem; the code points to a motor overload problem...just want to have it fixed...is it the hall balance sensor? Mike
1 Answer Hello Mike. Check and make sure none of the rotor magnets are cracked or broke. If they are good, then you will need to replace the stator assembly 4417FA1994G. It comes with the RPS sensor. Hope this helps. Read More...
Mike December 14, 2011 for Model Number WM0532HW The le code comes on after the drum fills with water for a load; What does the Sensor Assembly do?(#AP4440678) ....How do you know that it is the problem...Is it a surge safety sensor or what?
1 Answer Hello Mike. The sensor assembly 6501FA2462E is used for sensing out of balance loads. The switch assembly 6600FA1704X is used for the water level. Hope this helps. Read More...
Robin December 09, 2011 for Model Number WM2277HW Does this part (AP4440678) include the Bracket Assembly that mounts to the Lower Rear Cabinet. If not, do you know the part number? Also, I need instructions on how to test the part for Continutiy/Ohm's (include which terminal pin's to check if more than 2 pin's on part)?
1 Answer ball sensor assy. cannot be ohmed for continuity. It emits the a frequency of light to send to the main control board if the ball is move out of the "resting" hole during the beginning of a bad rotation cycle. Then the main control board will stop the rotation and start a slow rotate and counter rotation to re balance the load before it ramps up again. The sensor mounts on the original mount with a screw that was with the original one. This sensor is part # 6501FA2462E. Thank You. Read More...
Tj December 04, 2011 for Model Number LG WM1814CW I am getting error UE and the washer will not spin, it will stay on 10 minutes for a while then error out. I removed the rear panel and found the sensor. When I move the sensor I can hear the ball bearing inside rattling around, this this normal? Second I have manually moved the sensor during this time frame and nothing happen the machine did not error out but it did complete the cycle, so is it the sensor or something totally different?
1 Answer Hi T.J. U.E. = IMBALANCEERROR. The load is too small.• The appliance is tilted. Make sure the unit is leveled from front to back and side to side with the level legs "stud nuts" locked tight up against the base.• Laundry is gathered to one side.• Non distributable things are put into the drum. Redistribute the clothes evenly. Replace the part # 6501FA2462E. Thank You. Read More...
