Model pyg2300aww

Tue, 22 May 2012 04:51:15 +0000

Model pyg2300aww Maytag performa.. This dryer just received a new belt. It turns fine until the clothes get put in it. When you put a load in it stops turning or turns extremely slow. The motor is turning but the belt is slipping on the motor pulley. The idler pulley and the roller wheels in the back spin freely, The plastic glides on the bottom appear to be fine. I am stumped here.

GLTF1670AS1 Won't start strange noise when timer put in any position

Tue, 22 May 2012 03:26:50 +0000

Frigidaire front load washer will not start on any cycle. Put it in spin, pull knob, same noise. Would a motor problem stop it from filling? Its kind of a buzzing noise coming from center of machine. I am going tomorrow to diagnose any suggestions?

Staber HXW 2304 Inner tub removal

Tue, 22 May 2012 01:57:26 +0000

I am replacing the sump hose. To seal one end of the sump hose, I need to remove the inner tub to access. I am unable to remove the inner tub as the set screws don't have the head which I can use a hex socket or torx to unscrew? It seems like they were put in this way, perhaps they were put in backwards? Any ideas to allow removal of the pulley and shafts?
thanks

Loud humming sound. Will not start. Took off the front and checked the belt. Belt is fine and on perfectly. What's next? check the thermal fuse?

Bosch Front Load Washer WFMC6400UC Problems

Sun, 20 May 2012 21:49:13 +0000

Having problems with our front loader washer

Ran the following Test Programs and received the following errors.

P2 = Safety - Water starts to fill - stops - Drums turns then Error DR:09
P2 = Autom - Water starts to fill - Stops - drum turns then Error DR:18

The rest of the test ran OK.

Looking up the error codes they pointed to a Faulty motor control. So I ordered a new motor control board and installed it and ran the test again.

Received an ER:20 Unbalanced load or faulty wire harness.

Can anyone point me in the best direction.

Uni-MAC UW60PVXQ8001

Sat, 19 May 2012 00:03:20 +0000

Having a problem with a Uni-Mac Extractor model UW60PVXQ8001 serial no 0505986100.One of the vaccumm breakers on top of the machine came apart and sprayed water all over the machine.It has dryed off,but now it won't do anything.Won't power up.After checking the two fuses on the side of the unit by the fan marked T2A one of them was blown,after replacing it the unit will now come on and start to power up for about one minuet or so then the fuse will be blown.Do you guys have some troubleshooting help on this thing?Where do I start to troubleshoot this thing?

WSM2700DAWWW will not spin

Fri, 18 May 2012 17:47:49 +0000

the machine agitates ok but when it goes into spin the drum does not spin which caused the house to fill with black smoke while the belt melted against the motor pulley. I purchased a new belt and found that if i tensioned the tensioner or spun the transmission by hand it would spin. The drum seems to spin ok if i rotate it by hand. While looking at a parts diagram i could not find a clutch or anything else. Only a complete transmission. Machine has a 2/06 code. Thanks

asko w620 power light on, nothing else

Fri, 18 May 2012 14:36:05 +0000

Hi
A couple of days ago my washer was running fine (other than the occasoinal banging which started right before I changed the motor brushes).  The pin trap was filling up and I ingored my wife's comment that I should pull it out right away.  Anyway...
All of a sudden the washer just quit working during the rinse cycle.  Steam was coming out of the soap tray.  Now it won't do anything.  It has power.  All of the fuses are fine.  The power light is on (which I had to pull the front panel off to verify as the power light fell out of its housing.)

Did the pump fry?  I took out the pump and looked at it.  Is there a way to test this thing?

The door will not unlock electrically.

When I turn on the power there is a slight click at the timer.  The machine does nothing if I turn the timer.

Any ideas?

GE Mod DCCD330GD3WC Ser GM718993 Dryer no heat.

Fri, 18 May 2012 04:24:37 +0000

Sensei-tachi.
Forgive me.  I have not searched a bit on where to start.  I would normally like to but I am slammed with work to do and I just found out the dryer went out.

Everything seems to be working normally but no heat.  I am guessing there is a gas ignitor that may have gone?

Please advise.  Or direct me to the NoOb read fist section for dryers.

Kenmore commercial dryer starts then stops after 2-3 revolutions

Fri, 18 May 2012 01:00:42 +0000

I have a Kenmore coin operated Gas dryer that starts to spin but after starting it turns only for 2-3 turns before stopping again. I found the rubber coming off of the bottom roller and it seems hard to turn. Is there an overload fuse in the motor or anywhere else that resets itself ?

What other issues can cause this ? The reason I do not suspect the motor is that it is able to do a couple of turns when it first starts up. There is quite a bit of debris in the dryer, can this cause this kind of a problem ?

id like to know which machines are compatible with both above kits, what i could find was the 12001234 fit the older peforma and the 21001868 fits maytag ensignia, im thinking that those kits fit more than just 1 machine per, or am i mistaken?, id like to know wether they only fit just 1 model number of machine or if the kits fit into multiple models or just the one i found? if they fit more than one id like to know what machines are compatible with each above kit

Miele PW6065 Heater Element

Thu, 17 May 2012 07:33:30 +0000

Does anyone know of a 3rd party source for purchasing a Miele heater element? I'm trying to make out the numbers from the fragments that are left. Here is what I have:
ND x EC xNN 230v 2300W 090606 x 511759 (the remainder is broken away)

This is twice the voltage/wattage of the 'spare' element for my w1903.

It is for an industrial model pw6065 machine that I recently picked up for a song off kijiji. Electronically it seemed fine when I bought it and the previous owner didn't mention any issues (they bought a larger, industrial machine for the farm). Alas, when I pulled the front panel to inspect/clean it, I found a rather nasty collection of burnt wires that should have connected to the heater element, if the latter hadn't disintegrated. There are two elements in ever Miele I've disassembled so they may not have known, but I cannot imagine the thermal cutoff sensor was in working order either, given the melted plastic connector and they crispy wires. I found much of the element, in the rubber hose connecting the drum drain to the pump. From the looks of things, this wasn't a recent failure.

I am trying to repair a Kenmore / Frigidaire stackable Dryer. It runs fine yet there is no heat. I pulled it apart and here's what I get. Heat element / coil has continuity. Hi Limit, Thermal light, and next to the thermal light, i believe it is a thermal fuse, (not in sears wiring diagram) all test at .003 ohms. The Thermistor test at 21k ohms. Can you please help me out? Yes it has 240. Heating element never lights up.

WHIRLPOOL Gas Dryer Intermitent heating problem Mod. # LGR5700KQ1

Wed, 16 May 2012 20:16:31 +0000

Dryer heats sometimes and sometimes does not. If it sits for a few hours the burner will come on and shut off after several minutes then it will ignite again, but then it wont come on again. Let it set for an hour or so and it will come on again. I would say it will not rin for more than twenty minutes. Any suggestion on where to look. Cycling themostat?

Thanks

2007 Electric Bosch nexxt 500 insists that all loads are 20 mins and no heat?

Wed, 16 May 2012 00:20:47 +0000

I have taken dryer apart, cleaned all lint from everywhere- reassembled - taken apart again because I forgot to hit the broken belt reset - reassembled again - but still when I hit start, it flashes briefly with proper time but immediately goes to 20 mins - no heat. But not always, once in a great while I can get it to start and heat. And yes smacking it seems to help - loose something somewhere maybe? I keep trying it...I can be stubborn too!

I tried to get the error codes using the training manual - thank you Sensei – but nothing happens? Any Ideas?

Whirlpool CAP2762EWO Can't Change Temp. with Touch Pad

This machine has a switch membrane for the temperature controls. Right now it is stuck on hot. Do I just have to change the switch membrane or do you think the whole control board is bad. Every other control works. If it is the membrane, is it easy to change?

frigidaire GSTR1670AS0 washer pump

Tue, 15 May 2012 18:29:10 +0000

have a number of washers with similar operating systems in service. These were marketed under several manufacturer names and body styles but the interior workings seem more or less the same.

Complaint for this washer was failing to empty.  In the past I've found change and other stuff in a plastic trap screen inside the drain boot leading from the drum to the pump.

This unit had no screen in it.  Don't know if some are supplied that way or if someone removed it. when I put the number in the search engine above got various parts and a reasonably representative diagram is linked on the right if you follow through a hierarchical choice path, but it does not display the boot or filter, only the pump and drum.

In any event, while the pump seems clean as a whistle and has no broken vanes or any obstructions, the rotor has a spot in its revolution where it catches, every time you turn it around.  I can literally not turn it with my finger and have to get a screw driver on some revolutions, then it is a little freer, but never without a catch on each revolution.

Don't know if this means its been compromised or if they are always like that.  Have never caught the pump not starting myself but if it stopped at that point, I wonder if it might not start on occasion.

It runs a little more noisely than I have experienced which is another reason I'm looking at the pump itself.

Anyone with experience with this pump?

And can I get the filter somewhere to put in the boot to protect a replacement pump?

Thanks,

Brian

KM(WP) belt-driven washer 110.82360810 shifting between agitate and drain

Tue, 15 May 2012 17:37:31 +0000

To the Dojo,

After changing the customer's timer and finding no resistor in the wiring diagram, I am at a loss as to my next step. Do any guys reading have relevant experience? The washer fills to the correct water level, agitates, drains some, refills, agitates again, etc.--i.e. slowly working its way to the "drain and spin" position.

Domos in advance,

Asko T760 - Heating element

Mon, 14 May 2012 20:35:28 +0000

Where is the heating element in my Asko T760? When I take the front panel off under the door, I don't see it. When I take the top off, I don't see it.

How do I access the heating element? Maybe I'm just missing it in one of those two areas?

Thanks.

Maytag Neptune washer strut

Mon, 14 May 2012 20:13:26 +0000

I have a maytag Neptune front load washer MAH5500BWW. When there are wet clothes in the washer the drum tilts back too far and causes the drum to touch the bottom of the door which won't allow the washer to enter spin cycle. The two springs on top are present and serviceable. The struts are connected to the tub. The counter weights are present. There is no evidence of broken parts. Is there a way to tighten the struts? It is very easy to depress the struts. Thank you for any info.

Whirlpool WTW4950XW0 Washer lid lock/light

Mon, 14 May 2012 19:41:18 +0000

Hi all, my name is Mike, i had an account here before but i cannot acess it due to losing the password and my emails not working...

so i got a trade in of a Fairly brand new top load model whirlpool washing machine...... Model: WTW4950XW0 when i plugged it in the lid light was flashing red.

i took out the lid lock and noticed that soap had made its way into the lock, my dad decided to open the switch because he knows more about electrical stuff than i do(At the moment) and i guess he didnt put it back together correctly because now the washer Does NOTHING

The customer told me she had a guy come by to look at it and she said he didnt look like he knew what he was talking about and said that bugs got into the washer and shorted it out, But her place has no bugs and the washer looks pretty much brand new, besides the soap in the switch and around the lid hinges

i believe the only action we got the washer to do was Drain before we removed the lid lock, but after tampering with the lid lock it wont do anything, no lights come on around the timer and it wont reset according to the manual, Should i buy a new lid lock and replace it?

KM(WP) washer 110.47791701 throwing "F21"

To the Dojo,

Washer wasn't pumping out water. Pulled polarized plug off the pump, and put the washer through the automated test cycle. In the pump-out portion, I read 113Vac with my meter. Have I got a bad CCU (http://www.repairclinic.com/PartDetail/Main-Control-Board/W10157911/1454650?modelNumber=110.47791701), or what?

Frigidaire FWTR647GHSO

Mon, 14 May 2012 15:29:27 +0000

The machine would not do a final spin and there was water in the drum. As per earlier posts I pulled the suction hose and removed what appeared to be a stainless steel hex bolt head (cleanly broken just above the bolt) from the rubber boot on the pump. While I was doing this procedure I noticed that the right shock was broken at the top and completely unattached to the drum. Replacing the shock looks doable but I wanted to make sure that the head removal fixed the drain/spin problem so I ran an EMPTY load to check. The machine appeared to cycle correctly. Thinking about the bolt head I decided to spin the drum manually to observe it's operation. From the front door, the 11:00 position was Hot/very warm to the touch. Both the drum and the cabinet somewhat. Is that normal or does that mean that there is a another issue. The machine is not quiet but it makes no "opps, check me sounds." We have already replaced the circuit board brain.
Time for a new machine perhaps?

Thanks

Frigidaire front load washer: water will still not enter machine. New part # was different. Problem?

Sun, 13 May 2012 21:24:43 +0000

Well, I ordered the replacement pressure switch and ordered the one the manufacturer recommends. This didn't fix it. My husband tested the old pressure switch and it seems fine. He tested the resistance across the two prongs, 1 & 2, and there was no resistance initially. He blew into it, heard the switch click, and resistance went to infinity. Does that mean that the switch is good? If so, should I try to replace the control board. I really don't want the hassle of buyng a new machine because my set stacks, and my space is limited. I know the board is only $142., and that will likely be a good bit less than a pro.

I'm now debating whether I should call in the pros, buy another machine, or order the control board which was the step recommended after the pressure switch. I'm seeking your wisdom. I would love a working machine for Mother's Day---or shortly there after. Thank you again for your help.

Whirlpool Duet runs for a few seconds then stops.. after repair

Sun, 13 May 2012 00:42:08 +0000

We have a Whirlpool Duet dryer model number GEW9250PW1. It was making a whirring noise when stopping and starting so we bought a new belt but when we took the dryer apart, we found that all the rollers were full of lint and hair and did not roll freely and also that the pulley roller had a grove in it from the belt. So we replaced the belt and pulley roller and cleaned all the gunk from the rollers so they all rolled freely, We also cleaned out the whole inside of the dryer which had quite a bit of lint in it. I also gently used the air compresser to blow out the inside as well including the element area and motor. We put everything back together and plugged it back in and it ran for about 10 seconds and then stopped. I should also mention that it had a smell like something was hot but I assumed that that might be because of all the dust we blew around trying to clean it out. All the lights on the front work and the sensor seems to be working also as it will change from sensing to wet. After the dryer stops, if we just leave it alone, it will start up again after a minute or so and will stop again after a few seconds and it will keep repeating this cycle. We replaced the thermister but there was no change. We were not having any problems like this before replacing the belt and roller and cleaning it all out. I'm wondering it I messed something up when cleaning it. This is getting very frustrating. We are very much DIYers and would like to fix this ourselves....especially since being a stay home mom of 3 boys doesn't pay much. :o) (but it sure is worth it! ) Any help or advice anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Water levels on current washers

Sat, 12 May 2012 16:44:44 +0000

So it's time to get a new washer as my current one is 12 years old and needs a new timer (>$150).

On a previous thread ( Here ), there was some discussion about alterations to enable a higher level of water. I'm thinking about buying a Whirlpool WTW4950 or 4800 washer, or the Amana NTW4501XQ.

Can the water levels be raised in either of these models?

Thank you.

Fisher & Paykel IW812 - Diverter valve not being activated

Sat, 12 May 2012 04:00:49 +0000

Hi All,
I have a Fisher and Paykel IW812.
When the washer gets to the spin cycle the diverter valve is not being operated so that the water can be pumped out.
Instead the water is pumped through the recycle back into the washer.
I have gone into diagnostics mode and done the following.

Code 37 shows
I checked and replaced the water pump and diverter - Fault still there.
I can activate the diverter valve via diagnostic's and then turn on the water pump on via diagnostics also and it pumps the water out correctly.
I have changed the Motor Control and its no different.

What I would like to know is what sensor input can stop the washer from activating the diverter valve when its going through its cycle?

Your help please as the wife is threatening me with a new washer and that means defeat :-( + $$$$$$

Thanks

Kenmore Dryer, Starts then Stops

Thu, 10 May 2012 21:24:26 +0000

Hi all, Well " she who must be obeyed" has stated "if you don't fix it I will spend much money" So my Kenmore mod #110.66902690. Ser# 3015265. at any dry setting push to start, starts turning, release PTS , slows and stops turning. Door switch good. removed drum set to air fluff, simulated belt tension, activate push to start, motor spins up release PTS, and ...... slows to stop. Does this mean the thermal cutout on the motor is fried, and is only operating in PTS, overide? Mine does not have the eveheat funny card, or the relays under the control panel. I confirmed the white thermal overheat fuse has continuity. Is it new motor time? I would like to have run just one more year, if possible. Many thanks to all and many thanks for help fixing my GE gas oven. Ron

Pump works good but leaves water sloshing about in the outer tub. I've ruled out siphoning because water is present as soon as the spin cycle ends. I'm not so sure what controls that function (sensor or board)? Maybe I'm missing the obvious but...thanks for the help.
