Whirlpool Washing Machine: F9E1 whirlpool washer won't drain

Thu, 30 Apr 2026 11:50:48 -0700

Wtw5100hw0 wouldn't drain, so I checked the hose for clogs. Checked the plug for continuity and nothing. I found a break in the wire so I fixed that. Check continuity and nothing, I cut the connector off and both wires have continuity. Now the problem is I can't find the connector I cut off. I have female spade connectors on the wires but have no idea which wire goes to what terminal on the pump.

Maytag Washing Machine: Maytag Bravo X clicking, then eventually starts to spin

Thu, 30 Apr 2026 08:20:18 -0700

Brand: Maytag
Model Number: MVWX700XL2
Main Symptom: Clicking then eventually spins

Hi all, having an issue with our MVWX700XL2 washing machine. Over the past 1+ year, when starting and periodically during a wash, the unit will start clicking. It’s like it’s trying to kick on the spin then after so many times it will eventually catch and spin. Whatever, it’s still been working and completing loads all this time.

However over the past week it’s gotten worse, it will continually click and never catch and spin the drum… after so long it will eventually give up and the washer turns off. Then we go to start it again and it will click for a while and catch and start spinning and do the complete wash as usual.

Any idea what this is? It’s like a relay clicking but not fully engaging the drum to spin.

Here is a short video:

Thanks all!

Whirlpool Washing Machine: Clothes sopping wet at the end.

Wed, 29 Apr 2026 19:19:47 -0700

2 year old Whirlpool wtw5000 top loader.

Washer washes, rinses and drains fine, water pumps out like crazy. It's spins. I'm not sure how it's supposed to spin compared to our old style washer. It spins stops , pumps some water, spins and stops pumps some water and then it's done. But there's still some water down below and clothes are sopping wet? The darn thing takes so long to do a load of clothes I've never really paid attention to what it does and when. So everything seems normal except the clothes are wet.

Kenmore 80 Series Washing Machine: Why is my machine only agitating in fast cycles?

Wed, 29 Apr 2026 07:22:41 -0700

My machine agitates in fast-agitation/heavy duty cycle but not in the other slow-agitation cycle. It fills, empties, and spins fine in all the cycles.

The slow agitation issues came on gradually, at first it was hesitating after filling but would eventually start, but after awhile it would go through the whole agitation phase without moving at all.

I've replaced the timer and the capacitor.

My Whirlpool Cabrio washer was just moved in. It is an older one and works until it gets near the end… an oL code comes up and the clothes aren’t completely spun out…. I need suggestions…. Wondering if it can be related to the computer due to the move.

Washing Machine: Error code F08 - Troubleshoot

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 06:40:39 -0700

I’m troubleshooting my Whirlpool FWG8168BV that’s throwing an F08 error code, and I’d really appreciate some input.

Initial behavior:

- On a 30°C cycle, the machine starts normally (fills with water, drum rotates both directions).

- After about 10 minutes, it stops, drains itself, and shows F08.

Current behavior:

- Now it throws the F08 error immediately when starting a wash.

What I’ve checked so far:

- Heating element: Resistance measures within expected range. Removed and inspected, no visible damage. Also powered it directly and it heats up quickly.

- NTC sensor: Resistance changes correctly with temperature, seems functional.

- Voltage at heating element: Measured during a 30°C cycle, reads 0V.

- Relays (on PCB): Tested off-board with 9V, confirmed they click and switch correctly.

Where I’m stuck:

- I’m not sure how to verify if the relays are actually receiving the control/drive voltage during operation.

- Could the issue be upstream (control board logic)?

- Is it possible the pressure switch is not signaling correct water level, preventing heating?

Has anyone seen a similar issue or can point me in the right direction for further diagnostics?

Thanks in advance!

Washer was working great until we moved, and now ever since then it makes that noise when it is in the agitates? We did not lay it on it's side, we used a dolly to move it to it's new location. I really need the help to fix! Everything else runs fine spins great and filled fine, just happens when it washes the clothes.

GE Washing Machine: washing machine absolutely losing its mind

Wed, 22 Apr 2026 00:31:55 -0700

ge top-load washing machine. unsure of exact model of washer or purchase year since its my aunts and not my own

did not start until someone started spinning the drum a bit manually before hitting the start button
would not respond to any button inputs until then, stopped responding to button inputs after
keeps chiming and activating/deactivating buttons seemingly at random (deep fill and my cycle in particular) which i have video footage of here -- please excuse the subpar quality
to my knowledge no settings have been changed in any way, intentionally or otherwise, that could cause this
as far as my testing can confirm its not an issue with load size, balance, or power
worked just fine up until sometime yesterday at earliest

what gives? is it just a big fancy block of garbage now? thanks in advance for any answers you may have o7

Samsung Washing Machine: Samsung washer no power at all suddently

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 03:52:10 -0700

Hi, could someone give me a hint? This is Samsung front washer, model WF203ANS/XAC, about 5 years old. Never had problem but after we loaded it and believed it had worked for a while (could turn it on, seeing the led lights). Then we found it is dead and no responding to any buttons. The door was locked with clothes and water inside!

I have opened it almost everything and managed to take it front face off and got the clothes out.

I have measured the Noise Filter (DC29-00013A). Its input side is 121V and output side is 121V. The wall plug is 121V. At the same time, there is no any responses, or led lights on at all.

I am not sure if the Filter is good and working? do I need to replace it?

I have checked the water pump (inlet and outlet) and see nothing except water.

What else I should check? How can I know if the PCB (the main control board) is working or dead? There is no sign of burning on it or anywhere.

Please help. Thank you in advance!

Kenmore 90 Series Washing Machine: Washer hums after filling, will not agitate, spin, or drain

Sat, 18 Apr 2026 16:13:09 -0700

I have a Kenmore 90 Series washer. Last week it began making a humming sound after filling. It will not agitate, spin, or drain.

I was able to empty it out and check the pump, didn't find any issues but replaced anyways. Issue persisted. Lid latch working normally as well. I can manually rotate the barrel from inside the washer and by spinning the coupler on the motor side of the transmission.

Removed the motor and verified the coupling was still intact, and did not notice any mushrooming or smell from the capacitor. I noticed the motor was very hot, but I am unsure if it was outside normal parameters. I also noticed a few wires getting very hot from inside the cabinet.
