I'm not sure what type of washer you have with no model number given. Some things to check are to make sure the washer is level. Also they may be some suspension springs inside your washer that are broken off.

If your washer is filling and agitating ok, and then when it gets to the drain/mode the washer does nothing? If you already tried to bypass the switch and that didn't work the next thing I would look into is the timer. You have to make sure the motor is getting the power it needs to run. You...

I would start by turning off the water to the valve on the dishwasher and checking the filter screen at the valve entrance. If this is clogged with sediment it will cause a low water charge in your dishwasher.

The lid switch is a safety switch that is connected to the door of your washer. If this door is opened during the drain/spin mode the washer will not drain or spin. Commonly, the switch breaks or needs to be adjusted. You can check the switch for continuity with an ohm meter.

If your motor won't even run during the drain/spin mode, check the lid switch out for being faulty.

It sounds like you need to replace the fill valve on your washer. If the valve gets crud in it, the valve will not close properly and leak water out.

It sounds like your washer may be syphoning out the water. Check the drain pipe to make sure it is not stuck too far down the stand pipe and that there is an air break in between them.

The water level switch is behind the control panel. It is the switch that lets you pick the load size. If you remove the plastic moldings at each end of the control panel, it should show you the screws you need to remove to access the switch.

If you shut the washer off does it stop filling? If yes, check the water level switch. It is responsible for switching the power from fill to agitate when the water level in the tub has been satisfied. Also check the air tube that the level switch is connected to for cracks or splits. If...

I would check out the water level switch for sure. Especially the air tube thats connected to it for cracks or leaks. If the tube is leaking air slowly the washer could have the same symptoms that you have described.

No, they are not the same. The drive block is underneath the agitator and the coupling is between the motor and the gearcase.

If this is a Whirlpool built Kenmore washer they have used a direct drive system since the mid 80's I believe. Direct drive = no belts. If your washer model number starts with a 110.********. Try to locate where the noise is coming from even if you have to remove the cabinet to do so.

dfcp may be right. If you are sure the sprayarms are not clogged or split anywhere and as you both stated, both have plenty of water in the basin. I would start looking for the reason the pump is not pumping the water. I am not sure what model of dishwashers you both have but if you go to...

What fuse did you change? One in the fuse box in the house? If your Maytag washer fills and just sits there dead, you may have a lid switch problem. These type of washers sit there dead after filling if the lid switch is not working properly. This is assuming you have a top loading Maytag...

The first thing I would do is check and make sure the water level for the dishwasher is correct. Start the dishwasher as you normally would and when you hear it finish filling and start spraying, turn it off and check the water level as it should be just under the heating element. If not , you...

If the motor runs while it trys to drain, I would inspect the drain line for kinks and clogs. Also, your dishwasher may have a check valve screwed into the line that is a common problem for clogging and not draining the water.

You have to find out where the water leaking from so you can identify the faulty part. You will have to remove the front panel by inserting a putty knife between the top and front panels and lifting the top panel up while doing so. Once you do that, pull the front panel forward and lift it...

You can leave the washing machine upright. It appears you have two screws at the bottom of the front panel. After you remove them, pulling down on the panel should remove it. As for the life expectancy, its hard to tell. Although, in my estimation, I think the older washers are made better...

I supposed the hard well water could be more wear and tear on a water valve but they seem to fair regardless whether the water is hard or not. Speaking for myself, I have very hard water and I also have a 15 year old Maytag that has not used a water valve in at least the eight years I have...

I would check the belt out first with these symptoms. I am not sure what model Frigidaire you have but it may be a combination of pushing in on the two spring clips between the top and front panels while lifting up on the top panel. Then locate the screws to remove the front panel. You may...
