<title><![CDATA[Amana Washing Machine NTW4516FW: Stuck on final rinse, LED flashing]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Hello. I was originally getting a flashing LED for Final Spin and it wouldn't progress past it.</p>

<p>I would try to press drain/spin and it will only drain a bit and then not spin.</p>

<p>I have replaced the shift actuator, splutch kit, and capacitor(even though old one was good).</p>

<p>After replacing the parts I have done a recalibration and the issue still persisted.</p>

<p>I went into Diag mode and got a code F7E1 for Basket speed. During Auto test it went through it completely fine.</p>

<p>In manual mode it everything seems to work except for it being on &quot;LowSpin/HighSpin&quot; where I get nothing. Agitation mode works fine. The windings of the motor were in spec as I was going through trouble shooting steps.</p>

<p>I'm currently at the point where I'm trying to check voltage on J12 / J2 connector. My multimeter isn't thin enough to backprobe the 4 pin J12 connector.</p>

<p>What else can I do to fix this washer?</p>

<p>Also when roommates use the washer it's sometimes unbalanced and clunks until we stop the cycle and rebalance the load. Tub suspension bolts seem intact by the way</p>

<title><![CDATA[Whirlpool Washing Machine: Washer stops at spin cycle, but drains. Drain and spin cycle works?]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I'm having a hard time finding an answer to this specific scenario. My Whirlpool washer model # WTW4815EW0, about 4 years old, recently stopped spinning out clothes at the end of a wash cycle. We use both the normal cycle and bulky items, and this occurs on both. The problem began gradually, only sometimes would the washer not spin out at the end of the cycle. Now it's every time. However, the strange part is that mechanically it has no issue spinning. After it decides to quit on the wash cycle (clothes are clean and tub drained, but still sopping wet), I just set it to drain and spin and it finishes the job without problem. So I don't think it's a lid latch, a belt, or anything that would stop it from spinning ever. What do I need to do to fix this? The washer was cheap to begin with and the cost of a repair person could easily cost as much as it did new, so if it's not something I can fix on my own I'll just get a new one. Thanks for any help.</p>

<div class="clearer"></div><div class="headerContainer"><h3 id="Section_Update_09_08_Num_2019" class="header">Update (09/08/2019)</h3></div>

<p>I have some updated information. I ran some manual tests and found that the washer spins on low but not on high speed. The low speed test runs without issue. During the high speed test, the motor kicks in for just a second and then immediately quits, with lid lock light flashing. I performed a tachometer test which it also seemed to fail. I checked the belt underneath which looks good. Drive test performed good. Control board has no obvious damage.</p>

<description><![CDATA[<p>My Samsung WA48H7400AW/A2 top loading washer is making a really loud sound every time it gets on the spin cycle. It sounds like a jet engine. Very loud roaring</p>

<p>Is this a motor that is going out or some kind of bearing? It runs fine but it gets REALLY loud during any spin cycle</p>

<title><![CDATA[General Electric GTW485ASJ WS: My washer is filling fine, spinning fine but will not turn or agitate]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>GTW485ASJ4WS</p>

<p>The washer just sits still until the cycle stops in drains and spins The water out, fills and sits again u til the end of the rinse cycle then drains and spins. The agitator assembly feels much looser than originally but I can’t see an obvious problem. I really wish I would have kept my 1990s model. I literally replaced everything for 25 years on that washer and have it to my sister when I got the new one which lasted all of 6 years and I replaced it with the one I have. I still have a 1990s refrigerator that still works I’m hesitant to get a new efficient one as everyone seems to be replacing there new ones every 6-8 years.</p>

<p>Please help is you can. Thanks!</p>
