Libby January 15, 2015 I have a whirlpool front loader washer/dryer. I am moving from a house to a an apartment and need to store the washer/dryer. My question is does it matter if its in a climate controlled facility and why?
1 Answer Hello Libby. As long as you drain all the water from the unit to prevent parts from freezing and busting, it does not matter. If not, then parts will freeze and bust on the unit. Read More...
See Yee Ko March 08, 2014 for Model Number commercial washer 60-hz The cold water do not enter to the washer.
1 Answer Hello. See if there is power coming to the water valve. If so, and the unit does not bring in cold water, and the screens are not clogged, then replace the water valve on the unit. Read More...
Paul B August 24, 2013 for Model Number MVWC300VW1 My Maytag Centennial works fine except for when it goes to spin while draining. The motor's working and it "sounds" like it's spinning, but it doesn't move. Only when I lift up the lid and close it again does the tub start spinning. I had an appliance guy out to repair it for these symptoms and he supposedly replaced the switch yet I still have the problem. Help??
1 Answer Paul, You will want to pull and check the clutch for wear. If the clutch looks good then the issue is in the gearcase which would need to be replaced part number 3360629. Read More...
Cindy August 08, 2013 for Model Number 11026722693 My Kenmore washer drips inside the tank when it is not being used. I have to turn the water off after use. What part do I need to replace?
Gary February 17, 2013 for Model Number Whirlpool Washer Dryer Combo LTE6234AW1 I have a Whirlpool Washer Dryer Combo LTE6234AW1. The water seems to leak when water is first loading into the washer. I first thought it was coming from the main water hoses and replace those, but this was not the case. I then replaced the water inlet valve, but that was not the problem. The only 2 things left that I can think of, it is the vacuum break or the hose that connects the vacuum break to the water inlet value. Any suggestion on how to determine this is so I don't have to buy any more parts than I need to. Thank you, Gary
1 Answer Gary, The vacuum break WP3360977 is the more likely issue, It is possible for the flume to get disslodged, or deformed and cause a leak. and you also want to make sure the tub assembly is not off center, or too far forward, allowing water to splash on the tub cover and leak. Read More...
Rich December 10, 2011 for Model Number 110.26912690 I have this kenmore washer that worked fine when we stored it, has been sitting in garage for 2 years, not climate controlled. Will fill with water fine and agitate but will not spin out. Help
1 Answer Hello Rich. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the lid switch WP3949238 may be bad on the unit. Check and see if it is broke. If so, it will cause the washer not to spin or drain out the water. Hope this helps. Read More...
Israel October 08, 2011 for Model Number LSR8233E whirlpool The machine washes fine, but it will not drain or spin.
1 Answer Hello Israel. Check and make sure the lid switch 3949247V is good on the unit. If not, it will cause the problems you are having. Disconnect the power to the unit. Remove the two screws in the back corners of the control panel securing the control panel. Pull the control panel forward and flip it backwards. Next unplug the lid switch and remove the two brass colored clips securing the cabinet to the back wall using a flat blade screwdriver to pry them out. Pull on the front of the cabinet and slide the cabinet off the frame of the washer. You can now access and replace the lid switch 3949247V. Reinstall in reverse order. Hope this helps. Read More...
