Washer overflows
Washer fills with water and overflows:
The water pressure level switch is a pressure activated switch that is used to determine the correct water level in the tub. This part is normally located behind the control panel and will have a hose or air dome tube that connects it to the tub. On washers that use an electronic control, this switch may be located at the sump area below the tub. As the water fills in the tub it will compress the air in the tube and push against a diaphragm inside the switch. The switch will control the water inlet valve and turn the valve off at the correct water level. If the tube has a leak, not enough pressure may be created to activate the switch and the washer may overfill. If the switch is defective it may also cause the machine to overfill. To determine if the switch is bad, you should first eliminate the air dome hose as a problem. Look for signs of cracks or worn areas on the hose. Remove the hose and submerge in water. Seal one end and blow air into the other end and look for bubbles. Check for an obstruction in the hose as well. If the air dome hose appears to be ok, then the water level switch may be defective.
You can test it with a meter and with a manual test? ( first locate it in the panel, it has a plastic clear tube hose going into it, remove that tube from its connection, now put another small tube or hose into the slot where it was and have the machine set to wash cycle with water in it. Blow into the other end of the tube.
If the machine starts to wash. the pressure switch is more than likely good
( No wash- then THE DIAPHRAGM IS BAD AND SWITCH HAS TO BE REPLACED).
The other item to check would be your water inlet valve. Check it for continuity with a multi meter it should show Ohms or a closed circuit. To test it when water is overflowing unplug the unit and see if it still overflows or continues to fill. If it stops when unplugged. Then it is not a water inlet problem but an electrical signal problem going to ur water inlet valve. Possibly from the panel or board.
My Frigidaire Affinity washer makes a loud buzzing sound when you push the start button and will not start, what can I do
Good Morning Anonymous, this is Z. I am happy to assist you!
I understand that your door indicates it is open and your dryer will not operate. Let's attempt resetting your dryer by either unplugging it or flipping the household circuit breaker off. It is good to wait approximately ten minutes and turn on your dryer. Select a normal cycle and verify if your dryer will start. If your dryer will not operate then it possibly have a faulty door lock assembly or a communication problem with the control board. At this point, it would be advisable to contact an experienced appliance repair tech to assist further.
What's stopping my dryer from running continuously
Hi,
Please power cycle your dryer and attempt to run it again. If this fails, please ensure that your clothes are evenly distributed so that they weight of the clothes doesn't cause the dryer to be shutdown. Just to double check, please ensure that you've cleaned the lint track of your dryer. Lastly, you can use an power outlet extender to help switch the power outlet that you're using to run your dryer as there might be something wrong with your current one.
Thank you.
My Frigidaire dryer won't run longer than 5 secs what's wrong how can I fix
There could be several issues that could cause your Frigidaire dryer to stop running after just a few seconds. Here are a few potential problems to consider:
- Thermal fuse: The thermal fuse is a safety device that shuts off the dryer if it overheats. If the fuse has blown, the dryer will not run.
- Clogged dryer vent: If the dryer vent is clogged, it can cause the dryer to overheat, which could trip the thermal fuse.
- Faulty cycling thermostat: The cycling thermostat regulates the dryer's temperature. If it's faulty, the dryer may not run for more than a few seconds.
- Faulty start switch: If the start switch is faulty, it could prevent the dryer from running.
- Faulty door switch: The door switch prevents the dryer from running when the door is open. If the switch is faulty, the dryer may not run.
To fix the problem, you'll need to diagnose which of these issues is causing the problem and then replace the faulty part. I recommend having a mechanic diagnose and fix the problem for you.
