Hi.
I find when I use the Large or Xtra Large Load settings in any cycle, water drains out as it fills and the timer knob doesnt move. This is not so in other Load settings- eg I am able to do a small and medium load. Second problem is that while water is filling if I lift the lid to put in a garment, the water doesnt stop- previously it used to. Third problem is sometimes in spin mode water continues to fill so the clothes are full of water still and not wrung out. It doesnt happen always, thats whats wierd. Is mine a timer problem?? Is it a multiple parts problem? And does it happen with faulty use or has something just worn out? Could power fluctuation have anything to do with this? Thanks a lot. Shobha.

HI,
It is not the problem you suggested as I have checked that, besides it works in certain cycles. There is a little switch on the right hand side when you open the waher lid which is supposed to stop the water when lid is open...that little thingamejig is not working and when I keep the lid open for a few minutes during cycle and fiddle with that switch the water drains out...so this part is at fault I think? Cud it be and whats it called- the part I mean?? Many thanks. |

You have two problems. First, you may have a bad water valve, and second, you have a bad lid switch. I would replace both items. Water valve AP2046012, lid switch AP2045986
Before replacing the water valve, I would check for soap residue in the bottom of the tub where the plastic hose going to the water level switch is connected. If there is residue I usually add some vinegar in the tub, wait for a period, then blow in the plastic tube to clear it out, or you can use a funnel to dump vinegar down the plastic hose.

HI,
Sorry to sound so ignorant. There IS soap collected on the rim of the lid - at the back end - close to where the water fills from. That I can clean off. Where exactly is the pipe located that you are speaking of and how do I access it? The drum is in the way...should I just throw water all along the rim and wipe with a sponge or something???? Many thanks. |

HI
Do I have to open up the washer to do this, as with the tub in between I cant feel all the way down the sides, and from what you say the bowl is right at the bottom. Sorry to be so dumb but I am really clueless about washers. I am trying to understand though. thanks. |
