.I am not a repair professional. I am a 78 year old man
who has been making his own repairs for about 50 years. So the washer or dryer ID doesn't mean much to me. I came to fixya looking for a schematic for an really old AM/FM radio and found that more than 4,700 people were asking for help with a washer repair. I recently had a washer repair of my own and at that time I found an excellent video which showed me how to take my machine apart. This video made it possible for me to do my own repair. If you are repairing a dryer or a front load washer I suggest you go to www.applianceaid.com where they have very good step by step trouble shooting and repair information on washers and dryers as well as other appliances. If you have a direct drive top load washer and need help taking it apart this video is an early christmas present. I was so impressed with it that when I saw all these people needing help, I wanted to tell them about it. If you look at the back of your washer and the panel is solid (no small inspection plate to remove which would indicate you have a v-belt drive) chances are you have a direct drive and this video is just what you need. You can see it at www.acmehowto.com You will probably still need help in determining what the trouble is and how to fix it. After viewing the video or if you have a v-belt drive rather than a direct drive, I suggest you go to www.applianceaid.com where they have very good
trouble shooting and repair nformation on most
washers and dryers. I think you'll find what you need
there. Don't worry about the timer, they hardly ever
go bad. Good luck with it. If I have helped you, please rate my advice on fixya.

we had the exact same problem yesterday, it turned out to be a coin in the drain pump. This can be accessed by removing the kick panel at the bottom of the machine, you will find a plug on the right hand side unscrew this anti clockwise, use a torch to look inside if you can se the blockage just remove it. it took us a few attempts to get the coin but we did it in the end.

Remove top cover, unclip the control board, and unplug the lead to the board, remove screws holding board and remove same.
Remove front panel screws, remove screws holding door lock,remove clamp securing front seal ,remove seal, slide panel up and remove.
Change seal.
Re-assemble in reverse order.

f12 is no communication between cards,best to call an engineer

F08 is a heater fault so although you may feel the machine has washed it probably has'nt.Check the heater, pressure switch and module for lose or brocken wires.

F05 means pressure jammed on full.
Check pump for blockage, or filter if waher has one.
Please rate my solution.
Thanks.

Exactly the same happened to our Hotpoint FWD70. The spring that holds the door latch in place has snapped. I removed all screws out of the door to find the spring and the metal rod it hooks onto and bend another hook into it (I didn't have a replacement spring), put it back together and the door works fine, although for some reason the dishwasher tablet doesn't release now!!

There are many things that could be causing your problem. Review them all and decide whether u want to try and fix it or if u need to call in a pro:

If your washer doesn't agitate, check these:

Lid switch
Motor coupler
Belts
Clutch
Drive motor
Drive pulleys
Transmission
Agitator
Lid switch If the lid switch is defective, the washing machine may not agitate or function at all. The switch is inside the washing machine main housing near the door frame. Often you have to raise or open the top or front of the washing machine to get to the switch. If it's defective, you need to replace it.

Motor coupler Many washers produced by Whirlpool® use a small, relatively inexpensive motor coupling. It's plastic and rubber and is mounted to the shaft of the motor on one side, and to the transmission on the other. Over time, the coupler wears out and fails. If this happens, you need to completely replace it.

Belts Many washing machines have one or two belts. If a belt is broken or badly worn, you need to replace it with a genuine belt from the manufacturer. (Some washing machine belts are designed with special characteristics not found in automotive belts.)

Clutch If your washer was made by GE®, it may use a clutch for agitating the clothes. As the clutch wears out, it may prevent the washer from agitating well or at all. If the clutch is worn, you need to replace it. For this job, you probably want to hire a qualified appliance repair technician.

Drive motor Many washer brands use a reversing motor. For agitation the motor runs in one direction, for spinning and draining, the other. It's possible for a motor to burn out in one direction and continue to operate in the other. If this happens, you need to replace the entire motor.

Drive pulleys The motor or transmission drive pulley may be worn and unable to turn the drive belt. If so, replace the pulley.

Transmission The transmission could have either of these problems:

• Older washers produced by Whirlpool® have a transmission with an electro-mechanical shifter. If the shifter becomes even partially defective, the unit may not agitate properly or at all.
  
  
• The transmission may have a worn or broken gear, or some other internal problem.
  
  

If you suspect a transmission problem, you may have to call a qualified appliance repair technician to repair it.

Agitator The inside of the agitator--where the transmission shaft attaches--can become worn, and strip out the spline that allows the agitator to properly grip the shaft. Then the transmission shaft rotates back and forth as it should, but the agitator doesn't move properly. If this happens, you may need to replace the agitator and/or the transmission spline.

The cycle does not advance because the temp sensor does not detect enough temperature.

The heating element must be tested using a multimeter , and eventually replaced.

Usually the element is the problem, if element is fine, the temp sensor and the timer control must be checked.

PUMP IS BLOCKED OR PIPE LEADING TO IT ROMOVE FRONT BOTTOM PANEL AND YOU SHOULD SEE A ROUND THING WITH A SCREW IN IT REMOVE SCREW TWIST AND PULL OUT REMOVE DEBRIS AND TRY AGAIN IF THIS DONT WORK LAY MACHINE ON ITS BACK REMOVE PIPE FROM PUMP AND CHECK IT NOT BLOCKED WITH ANYTHING ITS QUITE AN EASY JOB TO DO

h20 means it's not getting any water or not filling fast enough. check your water pressure.

you should be able to turn it off by holding it in for a while longer,5-10 seconds, unless the circuit board is at fault.
