Common Washing Machine Problems
Washer is not starting
Sometimes when you are lucky this problem can be the result of a tripped breaker switch or a faulty wall outlet. A simple test that can be performed without a trained technician is to plug in a small electric appliance such as a hair dryer into the wall socket, if it turns on then the problem is not an electrical issue. Washers with this type problem can have a few different problems like the following: washer main control board, thermal fuse, burnt wiring harness, etc.Washer is leaking water
Washers with this type of failure are very common and any one of the following failures could be the cause. Washer water valve, washer drain pump assembly, washer water supply hoses, internal cabinet hoses or washer center tub seals. Washer agitator is not working
When a washer agitator is not working there are a few common failures that are usually the culprit. The washers interlock switch, motor control, TPS sensor, coupler, lid switch, and main control board among other items.Washer is not draining
When this problem occurs the problem can be caused by the following failures. Failed drain pump or clogged drain pump impeller, clogged drain hose, power supply from the control board to the pump or washer timer.Washer is not spinning
