Brand: Whirlpool
Model Number: WFW9250WL01
Main Symptom: wont start
What happens & when:
Hi everyone, I have a Whirlpool Duet front load washer. Here’s the situation:
-
The machine stopped at the end of a cycle (about 2 minutes before completion).
-
Since then it does not start any new cycle.
-
No error codes are displayed.
-
When I try to start either a normal cycle or a diagnostic cycle, the door locks, but nothing else happens.
-
I replaced the pressure switch and the drain pump – no change.
-
I was able to start water fill and drain separately in diagnostics, but I could not get it to spin. However, I’m a beginner and honestly was just pressing buttons randomly, so I don’t really know how to run spin correctly in diagnostics.
-
It looks like the door latch locks, but I’m not sure if it is sending the “door closed/locked” signal back to the control.
Should I suspect a problem with the motor control board since spin never happens? I don’t really like this version, because I don’t even see fill and drain at the beginning of a normal cycle — if the motor board was the problem, I believe fill and drain should still work.
The unit is not at my place — I will go there soon and can test anything you suggest.
Thanks in advance!
Error Code (if any): no
Parts or tests already tried: pressure switch and the drain pump
