    Thanks for this great video, Lex. I have a similar washing machine that spin dries when it is empty or has a small load. But as soon as the load size increases, it does not spin dry the cloths, what could be the possible cause? Whenever it spin dries there is a course load noise for the duration of the spin.

    • @LexVance

W/D's are the residents responsibility for repairs, luckily. Got to love the Senior communities. The lady said she started a load of laundry and went to read a book. Her neighbor was the one who called it in. She had no clue. Must have been a good book!

    Is that 'container box' that the tube connects to, supposed to be full of water? When I pull the tube off, water shoots upward out of nipple.
    My washer does its business, fills with water again, and then cuts off with clothes floating in water.

      @LexVance Thx! I guess water from tub goes into it(just trying to work thru this in my head/new to this).. Need to drain tub as its trying to overflow now. Then I can blow on tube & see if pressure switch clicks(doubt it does since its overflowing).
      How do I open the control panel on top(where knobs are & knob for water height is)? I turned knob for water height to low but water still filled to overflowing so know pressure switch is one problem I have. Other is probably timer since machine fills tub again before shutting off. 3rd is when I pull out on "off" knob, it doesn't cut off, at least when water is filling. Well ought to be an interesting project. Thx for your help.

    My washer would halfway fill with water after completing a load....so figured it was a timer. Plastic connector attaching harness to timer was melted some between a brown & a red/white wires(#5). Green corrosion at those areas. Cleaned, put heat shrink on end of metal sockets terminals at those 3 wires(#5 or #6..lighter brown) so terminals wouldn't touch/arc. Put egrease on male pins of timer after cleaning some of them.
    Works. Blew thru water level switch couple dozen times...clicked. Nothing chewed on. Going to close it up after watching 2 loads go thru. I'm a electrical airplane mechanic so I know how to remove pins out of connectors. Never have worked on a washing machine so had to get my head around new surroundings & around my work schedule. Learned a few things. Not sure what caused the wires to melt the plastic...droplet of water?
