Simpson Eziloader frontload washer clunks 3 times and ends

sounds like blocked pump or door latch sensor/switch more likely pump blocked.thats normally first to activate in wash cycle.if unsure seek help to locate and check.it ll be either accessable from bottom front of machine or you may need to tip it up as it ll be at bottom of machine.unplug first,and if you pull pipes off pump to access there will be some water.hold waste pipe as low as itll go to release any water left in machine

Pau? as in end of life? seems that perhaps the control board is speaking in a foreign language? anything happen recently to make it this unhappy?

Google the make and model and add the words user manual to the end. There you will see numerous sites that offer either free or inexpensive user manuals that you can order or download. My favorite site is simply manuals.com.

I'm having the same issue. It's as if the drum is off-balance.

there is a carbon build up on the start switch contacts. Removing the switch and use a nail file to clean it will work

1.Turn off machine 2.unplug from power 3.leave unplugged for 5-10 mins 4.open door (if has water in drain via pump/lint filter (botton right flap). 5.empty contents(if wet turn drum by hand( may be unbalanced) close door) 6. turn on power 7. select colours 40 cycle 8. press start button 9.wait a moment ( chip reset ) 10.hopefully machine will fill with water and let complete cycle

Hello,
It sounds like a door switch fault see if the end light and the start/pause light are flashing count the flashes if end flashes 4 times and the start/pause once or maybe more this could be error 41, door switch fault.A door switch would cost about $ 20 but there may still be a problem with the main Programmer.
Good luck.
