1 Answer

Hello Tom, Your unit calls for part number WP3955765. The part number on the part itself is most likely a vendor number printed on it by the company contracted to manufacture the part for the appliance manufacturer.

Hello Richard, Since this unit has a neutral drain gearcase, the timer WP3955765 is the first suspect since the contacts could be sticking until the current flow is discontinued.

Hello John. Make sure no one is turning it backwards. Otherwise, there is nothing else you can do.

Hello John, This sounds like a poor electrical connection. I would unplug and re-connect everything in the control panel one at a time and retry. If the condition doesn't change, I would try changing the timer WP3955765 in case the contacts inside it are corroded.

Help, I put in a load of clothes. It filled normally and started to agitate. When I checked the clothes the tub was full of water and the timer had not advanced past the wash. Checked the lid switch, it's good. Power at the receptacle ok; checked the transmission and motor, they turn freely. Put it back together, it filled with water and then nothing. No humming, no buzzing, no clicking. The timer does not advance. It appears that there is no power to the machine. What else could it be? Timer, pressure or motor switch?

1 Answer

Skip, This issue would most likely be caused by a faulty water temp switch. The neutral leg of the unit goes through this first and if it is faulty then would need to be replaced. The part number is WP8564139.

Steve, Based on your post, you most likely have a defective motor or a mechanical gear failure inside the timer WP3955765, So yes, you will need to replace the component. Very good presumption.
