Spring March 29, 2023 for Model Number KAWS750JQ4 Over the last few months we have replaced a bunch of parts, initially the problem was a leak. Finally had a working washer again for 6-7 weeks. Last week it stopped spinning, so i took it apart again. The new (not from appliancepros, not oem) clutch was spewing chewed up plastic everywhere. Replaced clutch, got it all back together. Started washer, filled fine and then nothing. No agitating, spinning or draining, no noises, but timer advances.. Checked all connections, checked continuity of motor, capacitor and lid switch, all good. Help!
1 Answer Spring, Using a multimeter check for power to the motor when the machine should be running, if there is no power to the motor then check the wiring from the motor back to the timer, then check for power in and out of the timer. Read More...
Jim March 09, 2018 for Model Number KAWS850JQ4 About 50% of the time my washer fills properly but does not agitate once it is filled with water. The timer advances, the washer drains and spins, it just doesn't always agitate each time it's supposed to. I'll start it again. Sometimes it works, sometimes it won't agitate I'm thinking it's the timer, but what else might it be?
1 Answer Jim, You're on track, it is most likely the timer WP3954915, but also check the air dome hose/tube from the water level switch, disconnect it, and blow in the end of the tube, this will clear any sediment or debris in the tube, a clogged air tube can make the water level switch operate erratically. Then replace the timer if all's OK. Read More...
Craig October 13, 2017 for Model Number KAWS750LTO Our Kitchen Aid washing - gets stuck once the spin cycle starts. And it will just keep spinning and spinning - until we manually turn the dial so its done - or open up the lid. What is causing this? Everything I'm read so far suggest the Time Control needs replaced?
1 Answer Hello Craig. Yes, if the unit reaches spin and the timer does not advance, you will need to order and replace the timer on the unit. Thanks. Read More...
Jim September 15, 2017 for Model Number KAWS850JQ3 Have the timer dial knob removed and the wiring harnesses removed and the single screw located under the dial knob removed however the timer is still solid in the control panel. Does it simply unscrew at this point or is there some other hidden screws that need to be removed?
2 Answers Jim, Once you have the screw out you will need to slide the timer to the side to remove it. Read More...

2 Answers Jim, There is a "locking tab on the face/front of the timer body. Once you've removed the knob, dial and harness , use a small flat blade screwdriver or similar tool, slide the blade under the tab, between the timer body and metal mounting bracket and raise the tab, then turn the timer 90 degrees counter clockwise and remove it.

Debra November 11, 2016 for Model Number KAWS750LQ0 Hi! My machine will start and usually finish the wash cycle, but then sometimes takes it's sweet time to get to the rinse cycle. If we open the lid and drop it, it usually comes on and finishes. The other day it took quite a while for it to get to the rinse cycle. It's located in the garage so I don't hear it. When I got out there the back panel and top part of the sides were hot. Timer issue or something else? Thank you.
1 Answer Debra, This issue sound like it may be caused by a water valve that may be defective. It sounds like the cold water side is sticking and not allowing water to flow through which this would be a reason for the back and top to be hot. Read More...
John September 07, 2015 for Model Number KAWS750JQ4 Washer will not advance to spin cycle. If I advance it manually, it still will not spin to get the water out of the washer. Seems like all it does is fill with water and agitate. No spinning will happen.
1 Answer John, With the unit not going into the spin cycle even when manually advanced would most likely be caused by contacts either stuck or not making in the timer. The part number for the timer is WP3954915. Read More...
Bob H April 26, 2015 for Model Number KAWS750LT0 Washer seems to get stuck in soak cycle. Pressing reset doesn't work. I have checked the lid switch and the water inlets. after 30 to 90 minutes is start
1 Answer Bob, With the unit not moving off the soak cycle, this issue would be caused by a faulty timer. Read More...
Dr. Awe April 11, 2015 for Model Number KAWS750LQ0 Hi! Our KitchenAid Washer works just fine on permanent press. When we use the regular cycle, the washer slows down in the rinse cycle. It's almost like it's stuck, but it eventually kicks in again. It could take over 1 1/2 to finish one load. It makes a low humming noise when it's in the slow/stuck phase. If you open the lid and close it again, it kicks back on again for a little bit. Then slows down again to a crawl. Is this the timer control or the lid switch? Thanks again for your help. Dr. Awe
1 Answer Dr.Awe, It's not likely to be the timer or the lid switch, It's most likely a weak or "sticky" contact in the motor start switch WP8529896. When this occurs the motor can or will make a louder than usual "growling" type noise, it can also cause the motor to overheat and open the motor overload. Read More...
Duane April 27, 2014 for Model Number KAWS750JQ4 When washing some clothes, the machine runs in rinse mode, and while the switch continues towards spin. The timer you can hear ticking away, and when it gets close to spin, it stops ticking, and will not do anything. Have tried this in all styles of wash, same thing. I believe that that the main switch is bad, am I on the correct path? Thanks Duane
1 Answer Hello Duane, While this can be caused by the timer, I would suspect the speed selector switch first. These are common to fail and are cheaper than the timer. Read More...
