- How to troubleshoot, test, fix, repair top loading washing machine problems like no power, water level switch, no water filling tub, timer control, lid and start switch, drive motor, water pump, capacitor, and much more. My particular problem was the motor did not start agitating. You will see how I fixed that problem, and also learn how to check all the other parts to help you resolve your problem. Even though your make/model may vary from the machine shown in this video, the same testing procedures also apply to other makes/models. While no video covers every little detail, this one certainly covers a lot! Your washer may have an additional feature which is not shown on the washer in the video. If you have any further questions, please feel free to post them in the comment section. I will do my best to answer any questions as soon as possible.
**To repair the agitator, please refer to my other video below:

I learned so much from this video! Very informative, thank you!
I just ordered a multimeter to start checking things. I don't think there's anything wrong with my motor since I can hear it humming. My problem is the washer simply won't spin. It agitates and drains just fine. I open and close the lid repeatedly and I can see the belt move and stop, move and stop. I've got it to actually spin doing this repeated action once before. But not anymore. Sometimes it will move and continue for just a tiny bit like it wants to start up, but not for long and it ultimately stops.
I've tried cleaning the pressure tube (that leads to the pressure switch/level switch), I've checked the drain tube (it's not clogged), the timer progresses through the cycles, the lid switch seems to work...
Next I will check if the water pump is clogged since I've heard that too can cause the washer to not spin.
You saved our behinds from having to buy that part....we followed your video. Kudos to you!!
Glad I could help!
I like the way you explain the workings I actually fixed the Dogs on agitator I’m 81 year old woman

Thank you for a very thorough video - excellent job! Helped me logically rule out factors other than an intermittent problem with my motor on spin cycle only...
Stanley Braisted Great to hear! Be sure to rate thumbs up and share. Thanks
Hi and Lo start and run windings are good, timing and fill switch and lid switch all not a factor - agitates just fine, and motor got very hot on normal cotton cycle drain/spin **but not turning** (and with a heavier load than my original empty/small fill testing), also eventually got a slow start to a normal spin when cycled the lid a few times (which may have loaded up the capacitor just a bit more) - and even though got a fairly healthy spark to my screwdriver when shorting out the capacitor, and it meters to load and fall off, only logical conclusion at this point is that the capacitor is just not quite enough to kickstart the motor under a larger inertial load. So, going to "easter egg" that with a new one (no used ones, for obvious reasons...) Machine is very similar model to the one in your video, and ten years old, so with a capacitor tester running about the same as a new capacitor - seems like a pretty good bet...
Thanks for the best info on how to test and check the washing machine, your video is the best easy to learn & understand I have learn alot from your video from microwave to washing machine, before this I have very little knowledge on this things, but after watching your video i learn a lot more and i repair a few of the microwave & washing machines. Thanks alot. and other thing if you have any video on how to repair TVs please do let me know.
Agree at Kiama 28/10/2017 great display simple and direct all areas looked at .Wonderful timing and positive delivery . A first class application for diagnosis and procedure
Thanks Glen!

Only way to do it! :-)
My Kenmore model had access panels on the sides of the control panel with the knobs. They popped off giving access to two screws that allowed me to free up the control panel and get access to the timer
Very helpful, thanks! I appreciated the directions on getting the thing open.
Might want to unplug it before opening it up, some viewers may not have good safety habits.
The lamp used to discharge capacitors needs to have an incandescent bulb, I don't think fluorescent or LED bulbs will work right.
Glad you liked the video! The machine was unplugged. :-) People should realize that you don't open up anything unless you unplug it first. Be sure to share my channel with others, and check out my video playlists. Thanks
Yes, incandescent only, as stated in the video.

I have no idea what it looks like, or exactly where it is. Look for where the door makes contact with a switch as it opens and closes. You need to research the part.

hello do you happen to have a video on fixing dryers; this dryer is blowing cold air. As far as the washing machine does it matter what brand it is?
great.....very complete....bob
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching Bob!
my washer will do everything except spin! we have power surges that have fried our dryer cord several times and I am curious if this could be the cause of the washer issues as well!!??
Awesome! Trying to fix a machine that won't spin tomorrow, ignorant as all git out, but always confident. This video is just right - not too technical for someone who knows their way around a VOM (if you don't understand electricity, stay the hell out!), yet draining the capacitor using a lamp is beautiful. I've been shocked too many times. THANK YOU!
Glad you enjoyed the video! I bet you have a faulty lid switch. Be sure to look over my other great videos below and most importantly share my channel with others. Thank you!

My older(1981) Maytag has a small intermittent leak between the tub and the top ring. I bought a new gasket, but can't find any videos to show the best way to remove the top ring. It's metal, not plastic, and does not appear that it will just "pop off". It looks like lime build up and/or corrosion around it. Any tricks you can share? Otherwise, it runs great!
hello there, great video, i didn't see my problem, mine is that a slow leak is coming from where the water fills the tub. i have the exact washing machine as the on in the video. thanks
Probably need new fill valves/solenoids.
Thank you for your detailed analysis of the possible damages. Do you maybe have any idea, what is the meaning of 3 led blinking, in a serial manner (1,2,3, 1,2,3 etc) on the control panel ? The troubleshooting guide, reports that I should call a technician. It is a Brandt, top load washing machine and the model is WTC-1033. My was that I operated the appliance, only for a few minutes, having forgot that the main water supply, (central of the house) was closed... I believe that the damage is in the water pump. What would you think? Kind regards. John
Very informative thanks a lot
Your Welcome!
beer chiller,
please help me fix my stuff
Great video. You can also use an insulated screwdriver across the capacitor terminals to discharge the capacitor
Correct, but it's much harder on the capacitor.
thank you!!! this helped!!!!!!
Glad to hear that. Be sure to rate thumbs up, share my videos with others, and support my channel. Thanks
Thanks for your video, it's super helpful. My washer machine's issue is with the capacitor. However, mine looks the same as yours, which has no label or marks indicating what is the capacitance. I tried to lookup online for my GE WCSR2080B2CC but couldn't find any info related to the capacitor, all they have is the motor kit, which includes the whole set of motor, capacitor and harness. How can I determine the capacitance is should be? Thanks.
You should be able to get a part number online for your washer's capacitor. Call the manufacturer.
excellent video. my pump water drais perfectly, but after emptying all the water , the pump keeps on working with no cycle change. no spinning neither agitatig. the machine is almost brand new. I already checked the belt, motor, lid switch. thanks for your help
+jesus rene farret martinez
Did you try lifting up the lid and closing it again while the pump continues to run to see if the cycle changes?
+electronicsNmore yes, I did. the pump stops and then, when closing the lid, the pump starts again. something to do with the water level? thank you
jesus rene farret martinez
I would test the water level switch first, then the timer control second.
This is a great tutorial but I wish you had shown exactly how to remove the plastic casting on the pump, because we can get one part off but not the other two no matter how hard we try. I have a Hotpoint top load washing machine that will not drain and it doesn't kick into spin mode until you hand drain the water out with a bucket so far down then it will kick into spin. It fills with water and washes just fine just will not drain, but you can hear it clicking through the cycles. I have checked for obstructions, put on a new lid switch, brought a new pump and put it on, and still it will not spin unless you get the water almost all the way out then it will kick into spin mode and it works properly then. Do you have any suggestions. I have heard it may be a timer or the transmission or something to do with a pressure switch. I appreciate any advice. the model number is VBSR2080WOWW thank you.
Good troubleshooting video. After watching it, I'm thinking I need a new control board? Because my GE top loading washer won't fill on Auto-Fill (or do anything else in Auto-Fill - although all the lights light up. But the washer will fill on the other Load settings - but wont stop filling when the lid id raised up. And, the washer won't go into wash mode, or drain and spin mode. Although initially, after I unplugged the washer for a minute, re-plugged it in and opened and closed the lid (6) times it did drain. But now it won't drain - even after repeated un-plug resets. Is it possible my control board is fried?
Joshua Holman Faulty lid switch likely.
Question: Whirlpool washer doesn't agitate part way thru cycle. Timer just runs and coninues thru cycle. I hrar clicks so I know it blowing by the soak part and additional ahitations. However, it will rinse and spin and drain. This is on all cycles. Ive replaced Motor, replaced timerand checked lid switch( it has power) Someone else suggested its my water temperature switch. Whirlpol top load wtw5300vw2. I want to keep washer cause its a direct drive and relatively easy to work on. (2009) Newer models have to much electronics to break down. Thoughts on what it could be? Dont see how it could be temp switch?
Timmy Tee p
Your gearcase may be bad not allowing your washer to spin properl
Great video. Helped me check a bunch of different parts on my washing machine. The only thing you didn't cover was how to check for a blown fuse link, which turned out the be the problem with my machine. I will definitely come back for my next appliance that breaks down.
+Tyler Studanski
Glad you enjoyed the video! I don't think all machines have a fusible link. I did not notice one on the machine, If I did, it would have been super easy to test using a continuity tester or the low ohm range on your DMM. Thanks
+electronicsNmore I agree. I didn't notice one on your machine while watching either. Mine was covered in electric tape so I didn't know it was there other than it being noted on the electric schematic. I ended up cutting my fuse out to test it, but I think I could have found both ends of the wire to test it if I had doubts about it.
Wow awesome! Thanx4DaVideos!

electronicsNmore my washing machine is a whirlpool.. was working and just stopped .. there is water.. I wiggle the water level switch and water pours in ok. I changed the lid switch last year... I rotated the agitator clockwise, it moves.. I move it counter clockwise and it also moves and spins .. I figured it could be the Dog ears.. so maybe I can change that today.. When I turn the timer switch nothing happens.. I DONT HEAR the motor or anything . So hopefully it’s just the agitator ..
@@japonnahilaw5860 An agitator with faulty dogs won't keep the machine from running. You need to do some testing.
electronicsNmore I kinda figured that.. I will do the tests you did and hopefully find the more detailed Link video for each test step.. it all started after I moved the machine to clean the air duct.. after HVAC guys blew air to clear dryer and external ducks... after the air blowing , I guess sand and other small materials started to rattle the aluminum duct.. started vibrating with all these little particles... so I removed the air duct from the ceiling and dumped the contents as much as I could ... I couldn’t move the washing machine much as it is a double deck washer and dryer on top ... the dryer is vibrating more than usual.. still some little bits of sand maybe rattling around.. then after a few washes the machine just filled up with water and nothing happened after.. No sound on the motor .. maybe the timer switch needs to replaced.. the water knobs are working, dryer is working but no sound or movement from the washer..
electronicsNmore I will need to buy an new electronic tester .. to trouble shoot like you did.. this will be fun
Great video. Could I ask you a ? I Have a combo whirlpool ylte6234dq5. The water filled up and now only adds water(when dial pulled to on position) in each wash cycle setting. Nothing else happens no noise no spin.. Nothing? Any ideas that could help me?
If it fills with water to the point where it gets too high and overflows, then you need to check the fill level sensors/tubing.
I have an older washing machine that fills up and then trips the gfci outlet. I found a burn mark where a spring touches the back metal panel at the bottom of the machine. I realize this is a ground fault, but what is the most likely source? Is this where I would say check the motor for continuity from hot to the motor housing?
The washing machine shouldn't be on a GFCI. It should have a dedicated 120V/20A circuit with a single receptacle. I guess you have it plugged into another receptacle that's within 6 feet of a sink in the laundry room. Sounds like there's a leakage of current at the motor, since the GFCI trips when the motor goes to start up. Check for water leaks inside the machine.
I have the exact same washer as in the video. It will work fine for a load or two and then just decide that it doesn't want to spin at the end of a cycle to dry the clothes. I cleaned out the pressure hose earlier today after the unit had been sitting untouched for about two weeks and it worked great for two consecutive loads but then on the third it wouldn't spin during the final rinse/spin cycle. I'm wondering if something might be heating up and just need lubricating to reduce friction? Any suggestions?
Sounds like a faulty lid switch or timer control.
For the life of me I cant find a capacitor in my washing machine. I have had the washer completely apart, drum, transmission, motor and control panel off. Traced the wire harness from the timer switch down to the motor and no capacitor along the way. Do all machines have a motor capacitor?
Great video! Now could you come and get my peace of crap working or give another class for "dummies only" repair?
I have this same washing machine. When I tried to drain the capacitor with a lamp I got nothing. No spark or light. So my question, is this done just to drain the remaining voltage out? Or does this mean my capacitor is no good?
+Michelle S
Hi Michelle. If the lamp switch was on, then the capacitor should be drained when you placed the plug across the terminals. You need to test the capacitor to make sure it is good. Using the lamp was just a suggested way to bleed off any dangerous charge stored in the capacitor.

+electronicsNmore Thank you so much!
Hi. I have an older Fridgidare top loader. After the final spin the wash is still left too wet. I kept the lid open to watch the final spin and it seemed to spin ok. So I turned the switch to final spin again and watched it spinning but, at a much faster rate the second time. In fact, this second spin removed the water very satisfactorily. I checked the v-belt and it looks fine. I'm not sure what the tightness should be, but I think it's tight enough. I noticed that there is some oil loss underneath around the belt area. Watching the belt as it turned it didn't look obvious that it was slipping because of the oil. So, I'm not too sure what this might be?
Inspect the pump assembly and see if there is a place to open up to check for a partial blockage. Over the years, lint can build up in the pump or discharge hose.
I inspected the pump as you suggested, and you were right. There was a significant amount of debris at the entrance to the pump, including some coins (bonus). I ran a full load today and it runs great now. I thank you very much for your help! Keep up the great work, my friend! Take care.
Just found your channel, hopefully you can help me. 🙂 What do you do if the inner and outer tubs of a top load washing machine are stuck together on the drive shaft?
Very bad sign. Must have been sitting a long time and corrosion seized everything up. You're better off looking on offerup for a used washer for 100 bucks. Thanks for watching!
@@electronicsNmore thanks for the help, looking forward to your next video. 👍🙂
great video, sorry i do not share or anything like that, but i do tell everyone i know about you,
+jeff b
Thanks Jeff! Much appreciated.
can you take the water bell housing for the pressure switch apart? Mine seems to be full of dirt & not allowing the pressure switch to function.
All depends how it's made. Manufacturer designs may vary. You'll need to closely inspect yours. Thanks for watching!
Thanks. on further inspection, and taking apart agitator my housing is part of the outer tub. cleaned everything thoroughly, including pressure switch hose. runs like a top. :)
I had capacitor with 2 terminal how what the good read and bad read? I am the beginner if you can do the test with multimeter which black and red go to.
Before doing anything, make sure you unplug the washer and discharged the capacitor. Ideally you'd use a DMM that measures capacitance.
My washer (GE mod GTWN4450MOWS) sometimes doesn't agitate but sometimes after resetting it agitates. It used to not fill but now it always fills but sometimes does not agitate or spin sometimes it does after resetting a few times and turning dial and pressing start.
So basically it can do everything but usually just fills unless reset which sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. There is no timer part for this model but a main control panel instead. Any ideas what it could be?
Not sure what could be wrong so I do not know what part I may need.
Try bypassing the lid switch with a jumper wire as a test. Unplug the washer before touching anything. If it works, then replace the lid switch, if it doesn't, then you may have a faulty timer control.
my kenmore humms i check the motor and the transmission. did notice motor was very hot after running it for a 1min. did replace capacitor,clucth band and
Drive Washer Motor Coupling. what can it be
If the motor shaft spins freely, you have FULL voltage being supplied, and the capacitor is good, then the motor windings are probably bad.

Any thoughts on my problem? I have a GE clothes washer. My wife was washing a large pillow. Part way through the cycle we heard a loud bang come from the laundry room. When the cycle completed we opened the lid and the pillow and inside of the washer were covered in spattered oil marks. We tossed the pillow and cleaned the inside drum of the washer. I checked it over for balance, checked the agitator and it seemed fine. We ran a load of rags and it worked fine. We ran a couple of loads of wash and it seems to be working okay. I told a mechanical minded friend of this and he thought that it might be the sealed bearing breaking in the motor caused by the weight of the pillow during the cycle. He thinks that is where the oil droplets came from. I'm assuming that if he is correct, I am on borrowed time with the washer. Would sure appreciate your help.
Marc Whitham Having same problem, heavy blanket and oil splatters, reg load no problem, what or where is the oil coming from, arg! I noticed you didn’t get any answer. Sure would like to know where the machine oil is coming from.
Hello. I saw your channel now . My GE topload similar washing machine doesnt do anything on washing cycle , but work perfectly on rince , drain and spin cycle .....on washing cycle , doesnt even pour water and doesnt run...but move to rince cycle , start pouring water , then rinse and go towards spin cycle , it spin also ......what may be the problem ?
Loose wire, faulty timer control, or a faulty water fill level or tub fill pressure switch.
@@electronicsNmore how can it be faulty water fill level or tub fill pressure switch ? because water fills properly on rinse cycle . mostly it should faulty timer , correct ? does it stop one cycle (wash cycle) and works drain and spin , if timer has problem ?
I wanna know how to fix a russel hobbs top loader washing machine something is wrong with the bearings i wanna know how do i took it off to replace it with new ones plz
Hi. That must be a UK brand, I never heard of it before. Thanks for watching!
what about water draining but not entering the spin cycle unless you turn it off or lift the lid
it started today top washer not sure if on all cycles but realized before rinse the water comes out but not filling just continues to run never gets to spin will keep running had to turn off unplugged and tried a different cycle same thing.
+John Kirwan
Please continue posting under your original comment. Do not post new threads. Doing so creates clutter.
Try lifting up the lid and closing it when the problem starts.
My washer makes a scraping sound on spin I have to give tub a push to start spinging
how do I know if my suspension is to blame for banging in my washer,how do I tell if their bad

Hi Dave. Inspect the suspension parts to make sure nothing is rusted out/broken, or loose.
my muchine not start and blink "hitachi top loader 7.5kg" please i need help
I am not getting hot water it just gets warm. I have changed temp switch and water inlet valve. What’s my next part to replace? I have great water pressure and really hot water at the water lines.
If the water is very hot leading to the machine, the switch works, and the inlet valves work(not clogged), then the control must be faulty.
electronicsNmore When you say “control “ does that mean the timer?
problem w my washing machine that the clothes are still very wet. It spend but maybe not fast enough to get rid of the water. Clothes are very wet. Any ideal? It is Kenmore model.
Randy Fung Is water being pumped out as it spins?
electronicsNmore clothes not completely dried only half way and still very web. Run diagnostic function. Got error code f7e1. It said mAin controller board failure. Main controller cannot determine speed is basket. Ken more model 110.21302013.
I have a Frigidaire top load washer that is not spinning correctly. after watching your vidoe, I was able to determine the motor shafts was seized. using channel locks I am able to get it unstuck and it will spin freely. However, once I turn it to the left there is a click/pop noise and it seizes again. Any idea what might be causing this?

You will need to remove the motor to inspect it. There may be a problem with the water pump attached to the motor.
+electronicsNmore
how would I tell if it is the motor of the transmission?
If you have a motor driven pump, then you need to remove the pump from the motor first. There is nothing I can do, it is up to you to start pulling things apart and performing a close inspection of the parts as you rotate the shaft to simulate the problem.
Thanks For Watching
+electronicsNmore
Thank for your help. I have it stripped down to just the motor and transmission. When I turn the shafts counter clockwise I can hear the pop coming from inside the transmission. plus my wife just told me she smelt something burning right before it quit. I believe this was the gears due to the fact that all pullies and belts look good.
A burning smell is usually the motor. As I said, carefully inspect the parts, and replace any faulty parts.
Ok, so I checked everything in this video except the timer since I couldn't understand how to do that part. Still can't get this thing to spin. The belt starts to move an inch when I close the lid but then stops. It wants to start but can't seem to get going.
Also, when I did the continuity checks at 11:30, I verify I have continuity between dark blue and yellow but also between dark blue and orange. My schematic is identical to yours (our machines are nearly identical in every way). If I'm reading the schematic correctly, this should be fine.
I swear, I'm about to hire someone. I'm tired of ringing out my clothes by hand. I'm just afraid they're gonna B.S. me and charge me just to tell me to buy a new machine.
My Kenmore series 70 washer fills with water but won't agitate in heavy duty or permanent press cycles it only agitates and completes a wash in the delicate cycle.
It sounds like a faulty timer control since the machine works fine when using another cycle. Thanks for watching!
My digital whirlpool washing machine (top loader)begans filling with water then stops before it fills water to load size.It stick on wash cycle.What is wrong with it?
Jody Oliver Could be a faulty fill level switch. Sounds like it's filling to the lowest setting regardless of the switch position.
I have a whirlpool washer model # WTW57ESVW1, SERIAL #Y3340032. When I start a wash cycle it starts agitating right away. It doesn't fill up first then agitate, it starts agitating right away. this particular model has the " auto-load sensing with triple spray technology" feature on it. can you tell me what the problem is ?
The machine thinks the tub is already full of water, which is why is jumps past filling the machine and starts to agitate. I'd check the water level sensor. It could also be a faulty timer control.
@@electronicsNmore mine is same. How do I check either please?
@@stacysmith6117 Hi Stacy. It sounds like a faulty water level pressure switch or faulty control timer. Be sure to look over my "useful tips" video playlist for other great videos of interest to you, and most importantly share my channel with many others. Thanks!
@@stacysmith6117 I explained in the video how to test both. If you don't have the tools or skills required, then try swapping out the lower cost pressure switch first.
i have a roper model RAS 8244lqo sometimes it will not spin all the water out of the clothes on final spin sometimes it will sometimes it wont any suggestions?

Could be a faulty timer control. Describe in detail what happens.

My washer is a top load kenmore an older model maybe mid 90's and it performs all tasks perfectly it just doesn't put water in so when you start the cycle it immediately starts the agitator and when of I start it on the rinse cycle the timer will proceed through the allotted amount of time and then start the agitator. I checked the hoses, but still need to buy a multi meter. Is there any sure fire reasons other than the hoses and screen guards that would only effect the water not coming into the washer at all? Somebody please help! lol
If the washer agitates but does not fill, it is most likely a water level pressure switch not working.
@@electronicsNmore Thank you
You're welcome! I have MANY great videos on my channel covering many different subjects, so be sure to look over my extensive video playlists for other videos of interest to you and most importantly share. Thanks
How can I find this video easily
they came out yesterday and replaced PCB main board . Today it filled up with water and want do anything else. Any suggestions ?
Kathy Brewer lid switch
It's a brand new washer . Was bought before Christmas.
It should still be under warranty then. Call the store where you bought it.
What causes a whirlpool cabrio to leak at the bottom

My washer fills up. I hear it click.. does not adjutant. I can reach in and manually force it to move a few times then it will start. What to do.
Needs to be inspected. I can't say.
@@electronicsNmore ok thank you
Hi, my washer will not fill with water, the water just keep going in but is just draining right out..
Sounds like the water is siphoning out, unless the water is being pumped out.
make sure your drain hose is straight up an at least 39 inches high then put it to your drain, drain hose should never be sideways it has to be straight then a U to your drain.
i tried to follow every step , but my kenmore stacked washer and dryer does not have a capacitor that i can find. my washer won't drain at all, but ti spins. i did change the pump and checked for blockage or twisted hoses. i even changed the timer two days ago. still it does not drain. can you help me?
You have a separate electric pump for draining the water, or you have a single motor which reverses to drain?
i have a single motor reverse to drain.
I think you better test the lid switch first. Also try bypassing the lid switch temporarily to see if the water drains out.
the lid seems to have been bypassed. it works with the lid open.
Other things to check:
Inspect the drain hose for kinks
Test the timer control
Inspect the water pump
Inspect the drive belt (belt drive only)
Inspect the motor coupler
Hi do you have a link to purchase the motor for the timer @19:00?
I'm going to need the make and model for your washing machine. Thank you
@@electronicsNmoreThe make is a GE and model: GCWP 1800 DOWW
Your video is v.informative thanks for sharing. as stated before the make is a GE. The model:GCWP1800 DOWW. and the timer:WH12X10527
I don't see only the timer motor being sold. The lowest prices I found for the timer were at the link below.

thanks again. i will order one v soon. keep ur good work going.
My washer was doing good until I put a shirt in closed the lid and no sound nothing what do I need to do
Probably a faulty lid switch
Hi,my washing machine does not stop filling, does not spin but it does drain. What could be the problem,thank you.
Either a faulty fill valve, or faulty water level switch. I suggest you inspect the hose to the level switch as well.
I need to know how to put on a blat on a washer and its a Kenmore
Fernando Mendoza A blat?
Why does an AC capacitor retain charge? This capacitor is basically just for phase change isn't it. Its not like its a DC. filter cap. I saw the discharge but am still in the dark about this. Thanks-JJ
john james The alternating current flowing across the capacitor will leave a charge on the capacitor unless there is a high resistance(Usually around 10M) resistor internally across the terminals to bleed off the charge. As a general rule you always discharge a capacitor before touching them.
Thank You!
Thanks for replying-JJ
my 2 yr.old haier washer won't fill up water just keeps running

Hi. I need a better explanation.
Searching for trouble shoot video pertaining to spin cycle causing uncontrollable tube banging against the frame and intense wobbling while on spin
Sounds like you have a broken tub support.
@@electronicsNmorewhere is that located on a Amana top load washer and is there a way I can check it?
My washer does the same banging and I've checked and fixed everything else. PLEASE HELP ME @electronicsNmore 🙏🏻
my problem is, washing machine not spinning when i put at "Wash" setting. But when i put at "Spin/drain" setting it will spin like no problem.
Sounds like a control timer issue since it works using another setting.
ok

And check your pump could be clogged and will Stop the motor
I haven't seen that happen too often, but yes, it can happen. Thanks for watching!
Kenmore washer mod.11026722990. I bypassed the lid switch, and only get a humming sound. I am testing this machine in agitation and spin m ode WITHOUT WATER IN MACHINE. Does it have to have water in it for this test? Trying to determine if machine is working before transfer from my friends basement to my house. If it does need water in it to spin and agitate, how can I test it without water in it? Thank you for your brilliant tutorial, and look forward to your answer.
Stuck or faulty motor. See if the motor has a start capacitor, that could be faulty.
@@electronicsNmore Thank you for your reply. This washer has been siting in cellar for several years without use. I will see if the motor pulley is stuck. So it sounds like it should agitate, and spin with no water in machine? I send my blessings to you for your guidance. Thank you Bruce and please let me know if I can be of assistance to you?
kenmore,,29822800,,,,,fills & agitates at same time,,,,should not agitate till full of water,,,it has 4 dam switches & timer,,what cha think
Raybo sflorida Could be a faulty control timer.
the cold water is not filling up,the hot water is working fine,how to fix cold the cold water going into the washing machine
Make sure the solenoid valve blade terminals are being supplied with 120VAC when set to cold water. When you check the hot solenoid valve, you should see 120VAC at the blade terminals while filling the tub..
ok thank you...
Whast the most common thing that causes none of the stations to work? Won't fill, agitate, rinse, spin, nothing. Have a tub full of water and clothes, filled then quit, and as I said I can run the timer to every station, nothing...
Faulty lid switch, faulty timer control, or a power supply issue.
electronicsNmore
good day sir, when i start my washing machine it will start spinning ang then it will stop and show "de" code.when i check on the manual it says open lid, but the lid is actually close.what could be the problem. the machine brand is LG it just went outside the warranty period and when i ask the service centre they will charge almost the same as the price of the machine.

Give yourself cpr.
First and foremost; unplug unit!
Always assume that your audience is not as well versed in appliance repair as yourself. You'd be surprised at how many videos omit this one important safety feature!
Smell a rubber when it running
Probably a worn out belt that's slipping.
