Cynthia April 17, 2013 for Model Number LSR8133HQO I have replaced the lid switch, lid strike, water inlet valve, and the timer washer still gets to the rinse cycle and stop. Please help!
1 Answer Hello Cynthia. You need to check and see if the cold water valve is powered during the rinse cycle. If there is no power, you will need to check the temp switch on the unit. Usually most washers only rinse in cold water, so if it spins out, but does not fill to continue, it is usually a valve, temp switch, or timer issue. Also, check the wiring harness on the unit.

Dave April 06, 2013 for Model Number sm8280867 The machine filled and operated on the heavy wash cycle agitating until the time got to "6". It stopped. when I move the timer forward nothing happens til I get it to another agitate function. I restarted the full washer on the next wash function (don't remember what it is) It operated agitating to some point and stops. It does not move forward after that. I cannot find a place where it will pump. Sometimes I hear the timer ticking but not usually as I have redone the process. Is this a bad timer? thanks
Bill March 21, 2013 for Model Number could not find it anywhere, do have part number though I have been trying to replace a Whirlpool Washer Timer part# 3951702E for my mom. Have not been able to find the exact number anywhere. Find plenty without the letter at the end. My question is are they one in the same. Does a 3951702 work in place of a 3951702E or 3951702G. They certainly look identicle but don`t want to purchase they wrong part. Please advise. Thanks Bill
1 Answer Bill, The model number is located when you open the lid of the unit it is at the back of the opening by the lid. The timer listed should work for the timer that you are looking for. Read More...
Tina December 05, 2012 I have a Whirlpool Ultimate Care II washing machine. It fills up with water, starts to run until soon after where the 9 is on the regular load. Then it will just stop running. Could the timer be bad or is it something else?
1 Answer Hello Tina. You will need to check the lid switch and see if ti is bad 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...
Steve_P November 28, 2012 for Model Number Maytag MAV7600AWQ Hi... Washer runs normal til gets to spin cycle then I hear an electrical "hum" that sounds like coming from timer area and will get a burning smell then everything goes dead like a thermal overload has tripped. Cannot restart no matter where turn timer to and it's not the lid switch. After cooling off for 1/2hr or so, when pull out the switch, the washer will continue as normal and spin and drain. I'd replace the timer pt# 2608740 but most forums say it rarely fails and should look elsewhere. Any thoughts on narrowing down the cause of the issue? Thanx
1 Answer Steve, We have a different timer WP22003499 for the model number you supplied. Since the motor runs in one mode, but stalls and overheats in the spin direction, it's not likely a motor issue. In order to reverse the motor direction the polarity is reversed through the timer contacts. If the timer contacts are arced together or has a partial circuit, the motor can try to turn in both directions and cause the odor and overheat and stall. Check and make sure there are no damaged wiring to the motor, and repalce the timer. Thanks Read More...
Christine October 28, 2012 for Model Number LSQ9500LQ0 Hi, My washer is stuck in the wash cycle. I turn it to spin, or rinse, and it will not do either. It just goes back to the wash cycle. I cannot get the water to drain either. HELP!
1 Answer Hello Christine, I would check the lid switch first. If it tests good, I would remove the drain pump from the motor without removing the water hoses from it and see if the motor spins. If it does and didn't with the pump on the motor, the issue is most likely debris in the pump. If the motor is running when it should drain, there's no need to check the lid switch. You need to go straight to the drain pump in this case. If the motor doesn't run, check with the pump off and if it still doesn't run, check for voltage at two terminals on the motor terminal with the motor electrical connector disconnected. One terminal should have voltage. If two have 120Vac on them, the timer will have welded contacts. The white wire with a black trace should be the only energized wire during the spin cycle. If there is voltage on another wire, it can be traced back to the problem component. Read More...
Jim F October 17, 2012 for Model Number LSB6200KQ0 Doing the wash, in mid agitation, full of water it just stopped. There is a sound of a timer running but nothing is happening, and a burning smell. I got to run after unplugging it and moving the timer around and in and out it finally engaged. Is this the timer?
1 Answer Jim, You may have had a temporary voltage issue, or something in the pump, that causeed the motor to overheat and shut off on the overload. You may not want to start at the timer, but start at the pump and motor first. If all seems and checks OK, then go for the timer. Read More...
Roy P. June 04, 2012 for Model Number Whirlpool Ultimate Care II Should a person repair a Whirlpool Agitator with a Cam Repair Kit or just buy a new Agitator. If its a simply repair, where can I find the instructions? Thanks Roy Patterson
1 Answer Hello Roy. If your model number uses a cam kit, it is best to replace it. Here is a link to a video of the replacement of the cam kit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ensJz0h6wLM Read More...
Barbara January 30, 2012 for Model Number LSQ8512KQO My washer will not drain or spin. Could this be a timer switch.
1 Answer Hello Barbara. Check and seeif the lid switch 3949247V is bad or broken. If so, it will cause the problems you are having. Hope this helps. Read More...
Susan B January 07, 2012 for Model Number LSN1000KQ0 After the rinse cycle the machine doesn't spin. This does not always happen; sometimes it spins properly. Sometimes when I reset the timer it will spin. Could this be the timer.
1 Answer Susan, At this point, Don't start at the timer. It's more likely you have a slipping clutch 285785, or damaged drive coupler 285753A.
