Andrew March 12, 2014 for Model Number YLTE6234DQ3 When I unplug it, the water shuts off. So, it seems it's pressure switch. But, when I adjust the water level (load level), it stops at correct level. And one more thing, that I noticed the buzzing sound coming from the timer switch at the end of cycle. When I press the timer off, the sound goes away. That's why I'm guessing it's timer issue rather than pressure switch. Which part should I replace first? Thanks,
1 Answer Hello Andrew. For the water, I would suggest either the hose or the switch. For the noise, it does sound like the timer. Maybe you have 2 issues going on with this unit. Read More...
Andrew March 04, 2014 for Model Number YLTE6234DQ3 Hi there, I have an issue with my washer where it never shuts off the water. It constantly fills up the water to level I set; by end of wash cycle, it will refill the water. Instead of having dry clothes, I have all wet clothes. So, I manually shut off water tap end of rinse cycle. Do I need to change washer timer? Thanks,
1 Answer Hello Andrew. There are 2 possibilities. It could be a bad water valve or pressure switch. Unplug the machine, if it continues to fill you will need to replace the valve part# WP3952162. If it stops when unplugged it will most likely be the pressure switch WPW10311356. Also check the hose on the pressure switch to make sure it is in good condition. Read More...
John R. June 19, 2012 for Model Number LLR8233DZ My 18 year old Whirlpool washer "stops" in the "normal" program before entering the rinse cycle. Pushing the timer knob in and advancing it manually for one click and then pulling it back out five times (five clicks in total) causes the washer to enter the rinse cycle on the fifth click and finally finishes the program. When using the "permanent press" program, the washer runs through each cycle without any hesitation. Have I reached the life expectancy of a Whirlpool timer (at 18 years :} ... or is there some other gremlin lurking around? Thanks in advance... John
1 Answer Hello John. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the timer WP3948357 is bad and will need to be replaced. Read More...
1 Answer Hello David. First you will need to remove the timer knob by unscrewing it from the timer shaft. Then disconnect the power to the unit, and remove the screws holding the control panel in place. Lift and filp the control panel over to access the timer. Unplug the wire harness going to the timer, and remove the screws holding the timer in place. Reinstall in reverse order. Hope this helps. Read More...
