Hi there,
Can anyone help please.
My washer runs through the cycle until it gets to 1 minute left and then sticks, if I turn it off and then back on it goes through the spin cycle and then gets to End.
Can anyone tell me the reason for this and how to fix the problem.
Sorry it's a WF740.

Hi rocks1, have now tried what you suggested and still the same, tried other cycles and when cycles get to the final spin they stop (LCD still counts down) can still use washer by knocking off and turning dial to fast spin and knocking back on again tho.
if you have any more advice you could give it would be very well apreciated.
