Evan January 12, 2013 for Model Number sav4655ewq In late November, 2011, we replaced the timer w/ one from Appliancepartspro. Recently, but only sometimes, the washer stops at different points in the wash cycle (it has happened w/ all of the wash cycles), then has to be manually advanced to the point at which it stopped and restarted. Then, it resumes its normal functioning. Thoughts?
1 Answer Hello Evan, Based on the description it sounds like the contacts in the timer [27001113] are sticking causing the unit to stop mid cycle. Read More...
Bob January 27, 2012 for Model Number SAV3655AWW Washer skips the spin cycle both between wash and rinse and after rinse but will go ahead and spin if timer is reset.
1 Answer Hello Bob. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the timer WP27001113 is bad and will need to be replaced. Hope this helps. Read More...
Evan December 21, 2011 for Model Number sav4655ewq In the last few wks., we changed out the Water Temp. Switch (your recommendation) and the Timer. We now have problems when first starting a load, the water continues to fill the tub and gets very close to overflowing. We stopped it so that didn't happen. Once we advance it to agitation, then it works fine, including the rinse cycle (which does not overflow). Thoughts?
1 Answer Hi Evan. While filling on the start of a normal cycle, if you unplug the unit during this process and water keeps flowing it needs changed. Now then if stops filling after the unit is unplugged, then it is a bad pressure switch. Pressure switch is part # WP27001203. It sounds like you did correctly bu blowing out the pressure hose towards the tub so you can dislodge any lint or debris that will make a pressure switch to "misread" also. Thank You. Read More...
Michael B September 28, 2011 for Model Number maytag SAV405DEWW the agitator never stops during the whole washing cycle
1 Answer Michael, I wouldn't start at the timer, it's most likely a mechanical failure in the drive pulley, helix, and brake assembly(s), unless the motor never changes direction and spin. Good Luck and Thanks Read More...
Penny September 18, 2011 for Model Number sav515deww Hello, my washer is about 6 to 7 yrs. old. It has stopped working on two of the cycles. My daughter without knowing washed some clothes while we were out of town, when we came home the washer was still full of water and the cycle she washed the clothes on was still running about 6 hrs. later. Thanks goodness it didn't flood my house or burn up. The washer was hot to the touch though. It is almost like the timer or something the dial never moves from the set spot except on the wrinkle free cycle and one other, I only wash on those at this time, and there is never a problem then. What does this sound like to you? Also , how difficult for a layman to change out the part? Thanks Penny
1 Answer Hello Penny. Based on the model number you provided, it sounds like the timer WP27001113 is bad and will need to be replaced. Hope this helps. Read More...
Frank S. September 15, 2011 for Model Number sav4655eww The washer goes through the cycle. The drum is still full of water and lately the motor hums and cuts out. But it resets itself. Help!
1 Answer Hi Frank. The motor you need is part # WP27001215. This is overheating and failing. make sure the pump is not clogged and the clutch/brake/tub are all freely working. Thank you. Read More...
Tim June 04, 2011 for Model Number sav5158deww At the completion of the cycle there is still a full drum of water. To remove it, it is necessary to re-set the timer to the last spin marker. This problem is intermittent and occasionally occurs after the first wash cycle as well. It does not appear to be related to an imbalance.
1 Answer Hello Tim. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like a contact in the timer may be sticking and allowing the timer to advance past the spin cycle. If so, you will need to replace the timer WP27001113. Hope this helps. Read More...
Karen June 04, 2011 for Model Number SAV5710AWW Washing machine moving past spin cycle and tub still full of water. Works fine when manually moved back around.
1 Answer Hello Karen. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like a contact is sticking inside the timer WP27001113 allowing the motor to advance past the spin cycle. You will need to replace the timer. Hope this helps. Read More...
Chuck May 29, 2011 for Model Number SAV405DEWW The washer drains non stop even when filling up. Even when it is not even in the spin cycle.
1 Answer Hello Chuck! Have you checked the back of the appliance where the hose goes into the standpipe? If the hose is too tight or goes into the standpipe to far it will cause a siphoning effect (fill and drain at the same time). Check this and repost if the problem still persists. Thanks.
