Phil G January 30, 2016 for Model Number 110.29822801 This is a Kenmore washing machine with auto water level sensing. It fills all the way to the top, no matter how large the load. It isn't spilling over, just filling to the maximum amount of water. I removed the water level and temperature controller air hose, and blew into it while the machine was filling, and it stops filling. This lead me to believe that it was the water inlet valve instead. I purchased a water inlet valve but that did not fix the problem. So now I guess I will buy a water level and temperature controller and try that. Any other ideas? Thanks.
1 Answer Phil, The auto sense switch WPW10248240 will be the most likely cause for the unit to fill all the way to the top of the unit before stopping. Read More...

Monica December 08, 2015 for Model Number Maytag ?MVWC6ESWW1 Our washer won't start and fill with water at all. At the beginning when we pulled the timer knob it was only making humming noise, but nothing happened. And then we found a video on youtube which shows that is a wire problem at the bottom of washer. https://youtu.be/Sga33AjuXTM Which was true, we found the little red wire what is connected to motor capacitor and was broken off at the end of terminal, so we replaced the wire. We've tried to use it without clothes first, it seemed working fine, and then put some clothes in there and won't start again. I've kept looking for answers for our problem and then I found an other website what says it could be the motor capacitor. So we ordered that part and replaced it, still won't work. It spins, rinses, but only when I turn the timer manually. After that we called a repairman who gave us some advice to replace the timer, because that is the one what causes the problem. We replaced that too, still nothing happened, same problem. I was so upset, so I've kept looking and I found an other answer what says it could be the circuit board/agitation delay. We ordered that too, but still nothing. Now I'm so disappointed and exhausted, because we spent a lot of time and money to fix it and still have the problem. Our last option must be the temperature switch. Do you think that parts is the one what we should replace to make it work again? I don't want to order that part until I get a acceptable reason.Thank you
1 Answer Hello Monica, The problem you are experiencing is in the start circuit. This circuit includes the harness, the timer, the lid switch and the motor assembly. The motor WP661600 is the most likely suspect. Read More...
Danimal November 27, 2015 for Model Number MVWC6ESWW1 I replaced temp/sensor switch about 1 year ago. Can the tube get clogged?
1 Answer Hello Danimal, If hose to the switch gets clogged with lint from the wash, the indication would be an overfill situation. The switch WPW10248240 is a common failure on this design. Read More...

1 Answer Hello Mabel. If the unit starts without filling, replace the temp switch WPW10248240. If the cycles are wrong then replace the timer WPW10243947 on the unit. Read More...
Tommy June 11, 2015 for Model Number WTW57ESVW The ATC-Auto Load Sensing Switch keeps going bad on my washing machine. I just replaced this on April 5, 2015. The problem seems to be the same, no water coming into the machine. This will make the 5th time this has been replaced. Three were under warranty. We have our own well. The pressure is not as great as in the city. Could this cause the switch to overheat because the water has to run so long to fill the machine? This is just a suggestion.
1 Answer Tommy, The water pressure should not cause the water temperature switch to fail. You will want to check the wiring of the unit to make sure that there is no pinched or damaged wires. Also check the voltage getting to the unit to ensure that there is not an overvoltage getting to it. Read More...
Brett June 03, 2015 for Model Number Maytag Centennial MVWC6ESWW1 My washer starts to fill with water but then stops, If you open and re close the lid the water starts to flow again but stops before it is full. Once you get the the tub full it will slowly start to cycle but then stalls when it is time to empty,
1 Answer Hello Brett. It is not suppose to fill all the way. This is an automatic level unit. It uses the temp switch WPW10248240 for adjust the level. It is suppose to stall also so the neutral drain transmission can work properly. Read More...
Jay March 02, 2015 for Model Number 11061202011 Put the temperature gauge on cold and get hot or warm water
1 Answer Hello Jay. You will need to test the lid switch and make sure it is changing when you select the hot/cold options. 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...
Caprice December 11, 2014 for Model Number WTW57ESVW1 My washer will not fill with water, either hot or cold. But will spin when put on spin cycle. It will not agitate either. Have checked the hoses and screens, all is good there. Have checked the water inlet valve for power and shows reading of power. Would it be the water pump or the temperature switch or sensor switch?
1 Answer Hello Caprice. You will need to order and replace the temp switch WPW10248240 in the unit. Read More...
