Paul G. February 18, 2012 for Model Number TAWS800JQI Hot water never stops running, rest of machine seems ok. As soon as I turn hot water faucet on, water pours into tank, cold is fine.

Charlie January 29, 2012 for Model Number 20912990 I turned the timer dial to fill the washer with water and it does not fill but starts agaetating tried all cycles and does the same it will spin on spin cycle. Is this the water valve gone bad ? Thanks for your help Charlie
1 Answer Hello Charlie. No, it sounds like the pressure switch or the timer is bad and will need to be replaced. Test the pressure switch and see if it is closed to start the wash cycle. If so, you will need to replace the pressure switch. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...

John December 25, 2011 for Model Number Estate heavy duty super capacity washer about 5 years old When the water to my washer cuts off between cycles it makes a loud thump sound in the pipes like the water valve is cutting off too abruptly. Can I fix this problem with a new water cutoff valve?
1 Answer Hi John. If you verify the noise at the unit water valve it is part # 285805. At the house water supply there is a anti-hammer device that can be installed on each supply valve. You will need to contact a local qualified plumber from your yellow pages. Thank You. Read More...
Pete November 26, 2011 for Model Number rax4232r21 Water leaks when filling and rinseing. How do I get the back off to get to water valve?
1 Answer Hello Pete. Disconnect the power to the unit. Remove the two screws in the back corners of the control panel securing the control panel. Pull the control panel forward and flip it backwards. Next unplug the lid switch and remove the two brass colored clips securing the cabinet to the back wall using a flat blade screwdriver to pry them out. Pull on the front of the cabinet and slide the cabinet off the frame of the washer. You can now access and replace the water valve 285805. Reinstall in reverse order. Hope this helps. Read More...
