Avanti w798ss doest start

The machine fills with water and then just hangs. I just bought this washer. I'm guessing that something's wrong with the sensors because the machine doesn't seem to recognize that its filled with water and should start washing. I'm super fustrated and can't figure this out! Help!

Close the lid! There's a sensor on the back hinge of the lid. Make sure its working. You should hear a small click when you close the lid.

Interesting Lets try camming from your mobile device to see the washer! I like the idea. would be better than sending out a tech to look right! So, how do we do this and maintain annaminity! I am not scared heck! I have no reason to lie! so lets do this! Do you know how to add a video is cool Looks like how you add the video you click add video, look down below this panel.. Use your smart phone to download or copy the link.Nice, you download your video from you smartphone to your youtube channel! Sounds simple enough, send to luckysafehaven on youtube. I can look at it! Yes I can help you identify isolate the problem! What is the cost to replace this part can you do it your self? There are plenty service companies with the experience! I will take time to investigate more upon request!

Water level control switch not working. even i set water level to very low it just keeps filling and has overflowed. i am guessing that the switch needs to be replaced.

Hello,

It depending on exactly what your seeing that will determine the problem.

Does your washer start agitating and keep filling?? if yes it does start agitating and the water continuies to fill try disconnectiing the power and if it keeps filling what would be wrong is that the water inlet valve is sticking open and it would need to replaced

If the washer continues to fill and does not start agaitating would be a defective water level switch as you suspect it may be.If ya disconnect the power and it STOPS filling replace the water level(pressure) switch.

Fills with waters starts making a buzzing sound

Check to see if there is something(sock) in the pump. If not, try spin washer with pump hanging down, but not with hoses off.

The water doesn't stop. The machine fills with water and never stops. I just bought this washer. I'm guessing that something's wrong with the sensors because the machine doesn't seem to recognize that its...

I'm not familiar with your model washer, but most overfill problems are attributed to either a fill valve that does not shut off properly (this is where the fill hoses connect to), or a pressure switch malfunction. The pressure switch is what determines at what point the washer shuts off. Since you just bought the washer, I'm assuming the water inlet valve is probably NOT an issue, because the problem I mention with it not shutting off, is usually attributed to sediment build up. The pressure switch is controlled by a pressure hose and an electrical connection. If the electrical connection is intact (no corrosion or broken wires) and the air hose is connected and has no holes or slits, I would rule that you may have a bad pressure switch. However...It is common for the air air hose to come loose on the pressure switch and fall off. This can happen through normal use due to vibration, or during shipping. The result: a pressure switch that no longer senses the water level and will not shut off. This is easily resolved by re-attaching the air hose. What appears to be a very serious problem can often be something as simple as reconnecting a hose. Now...if you just bought the appliance, I would NOT recommend you open it to inspect. Most appliances come with a limited one-year manufacturers warranty. You can void this warranty by opening the appliance. This is the only time I would recommend you place a service call. I know this may be an inconvenience to you, but the service should be FREE if still under warranty. If you end up damaging something attempting a repair on your own, the repair would be YOUR responsibility. If you cannot find your sales receipt, the appliance serial number will determine the manufactured date and the warranty should STILL be honored. I hope this helps you. Let me know if you still have questions.
