The washer is about 5 years old. I just fixed the dryer and now the washer isn't washing properly. It has been some time since the dyer went down but I was using the washer sporadically during that time. I select the cycle and the drum fills just like normal. I didn't notice anything until the machine went quiet like it was going to switch to the next stage of the cycle but nothing happened. The clothes and watch just sat there. Now, the strange thing is that once the water drained and the spin cycle took over the drum spun just like normal. So the motor is good, the springs feels good when I manipulate the drum in it's setting. The agitator spins freely when spun counter clockwise and will catch if spun clockwise. The plastic clips feel like they are fine. Now, one strange thing I noticed was that when the drum was empty the agitator spun just fine but loading a few articles in the bottom locks it and it feels like something is too weak to pull the agitator.

Soooo, I hope that post made sense. I hope anyone here on the site might have some idea what is going on. I just got my dryer working and I really just want to do laundry at home again. Please help with any advice!

Thank you!

Model number 11027522600. The cycle advances just like normal and the timer continues. I can hear a clicking noise from the timer as it goes through the cycle. Everything happens just like normal but that shift into agitating never takes off. After filling it used to go silent for a second as it switched over then click and begin the agitation cycle. Now the machine goes silent and then it will drain, spin, and rinse like normal.

Thank you! :)

The timer seems to be working, I'll have to find a way to check it. I was thinking maybe the sensor that can tell if there are clothes in the drum or not. I'll have to look into the device and see if I can find a switch or sensor.


Thanks for the help though!

Ahhhh, that makes more sense. Thank you, I'll see about replacing the timer. Thanks for your help!
