Stan May 17, 2012 for Model Number WTW5100VQ2 Machine fills with water but does not advance through the cycles.
1 Answer Hello Stan. You will need to check and make sure the lid switch WP8318084 is not bad on the unit and it is working properly on the unit. If not, it will cause the unit not to agitate or spin out properly and the timer will not advance. Read More...
Eugene May 15, 2012 for Model Number 8572976 Installed new timer part # 8572976 on my roper washer, machine spun out old water and started to complete a full wash cycle, machine stopped working, manually set timer back to rinse, tub started to fill and got to full level and would not work any more after that, tried all cycles
1 Answer Hello Eugene, Judging from the information given, I would check the pressure switch and the lid switch. Without the wiring diagram, I can't pull the wiring diagram so I can't speculate further. Read More...
J.G. May 03, 2012 for Model Number Kenmore Washer 400 model #11028432700 In response to: First, allow the washer to fill and wash on a short small cycle, make sure the washer drains and spins, then stops and fill. -When you say 'make sure the washer drains and spins', don't you think I wish I could make that happen ? I just did a small load as you suggested. The cycles on the dial read SHORT / RINSE / SPIN. The dial & cycle stopped at about 1/4 before the word Rinse. Now the clothes are sitting in a tub of soapy water. I have a dot marked on the dial where everytime it has stopped, and this is the only time it stopped before the word rinse. The others were between Rinse and Spin.
1 Answer Hi J.G. The previous technical question was asked to see if the unit still spins once you manually advance the timer ? If not then you may need a lid switch part # WP8318084. From what you said then you will need the timer part # WP8572976. Thank You. Read More...
Jg May 03, 2012 for Model Number Kenmore Washer 400 model #11028432700 how can i test for a faulty water level switch or air tube?
1 Answer JG, At the water level switch W10339251 , with the air dome hose, and wiring disconnected, there should be a "closed" circuit between the Purple and Pink terminals of the switch, with no water in the tub. When you blow into the attachment port on the switch, you should hear a click, and the circuit should open, and the circuit should "close" between the Purple and Tan terminals of the switch. As for the air dome hose, Check and make sure there are no kinks, twists, pinches in the hose. Diconnect it from the water level switch and blow into the end to clear any debris or build up in the hose or tub connection. You may also want to remove the hose, pinch one end closed and blow in it, to make sure there are no "pin holes" in the tube. Good Luck and Thanks Read More...
Jg May 02, 2012 for Model Number Kenmore Washer 400 model #11028432700 We start a cycle, & it stops either at the RINSE CYCLE or before the SPIN CYCLE. Sometimes moving the tub around works, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes unplugging it, turning the dial around several times & starting at on RINSE or SPIN works, sometimes it doesn't. Theres no consistency to it. Either way, it stops and does not move on to the next cycle. Already bypassed the lid switch. Timer issue?
1 Answer JG, The timer ? not yet. First, allow the washer to fill and wash on a short small cycle, make sure the washer drains and spins, then stops and fill. You may have a faulty water level switch or air tube W10339251 if the tub doesn't drain or the switch doesn't reset to "empty" it won't spin/drain. If the switch doesn't reset to empty, the washer won't fill in the rinse cycle or youmay also have a faulty water fill valve WP8578340 But I wouldn't start at the timer until these components are checked for operation. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
Gary N February 20, 2012 for Model Number rtw4340sqo Washer when turned on in any setting will agitate at beginning of cycle. Will not fill with water at all. Will spin if mannualy set to spin cycle. Timer will advance to off.
1 Answer Hello Gary. Check and make sure the pressure hose and air dome chamber is not clogged. If so, it can cause the unit to not fill. If it is clear, and the unit does not fill and starts to agitate, you will need to replace the pressure switch W10339251 on the unit. It tells the timer when the water level is correct to begin agitation. Hope this helps. Read More...
Robert C. December 02, 2011 for Model Number wtw5100vq2 All washes are done in cold water and we are getting water fine, it is when it comes to final rince we get no cold water?
1 Answer Hello Robert. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the timer WP8572976 could be bad. Make sure the unit is spinning out the water before the rinse cycle. If not, you could have a bad lid switch WP8318084. If it spins out properly, replace the timer. Hope this helps. Read More...
Robert C. December 01, 2011 for Model Number whirlpool wtw5100vq2 The washer works ok until the final rinse cycle, when it calls for cold water for the rinse. We have been getting by by re-setting to the first rince.I have allready replaced the tempature selector switch.
1 Answer Hello Robert. If the cold water is not working properly, you will need to replace the water valve WPW10140917 on the unit. Hope this helps. Read More...
Brian August 19, 2011 for Model Number RTW4340SQ0 When the washer reaches rinse cycle it won't advance to spin on its own, it will stay on rinse
1 Answer Brian, When the timer gets to the rinse cycle on the dial, does the washer fill up with water and agitate ? Most rinse cycles are automatically "cold" water fills, if you have clogged hose and fill valve screens or a bad water inlet valveWP8578340 , the washer won't fill and advance in the rinse cycle. Thanks Read More...
Sandy July 20, 2011 for Model Number etw4300tqo Once it fills, it won't advance on it's own. It will start to wash, but won't spin out or anything.
1 Answer Hello Sandy. If the timer WP8572976 does not turn, but you can manually turn it and spin the machine out, you will need to replace the timer. Hope this helps. Read More...
