The cycle selector is not engaged onto the timer shaft. Need to remove the on/off knob by removing the plastic "U" clip. Remove the cycle selctor knob and check that the steel spring clip on the selector is fully seated. Re-install the cycle selector onto the timer shaft aligning the selector key with the with tthe notch on the timer shaft. Re-install the on/off knob.

The cycle selector and on/off combination is a poor design. Users press the on/off knob in and turn clockwise to set the wash cycle. If you're not gentle this action wears the teeth on the timer shaft and the user has to press harder and harder to set the wash cycle. This pressing causes the cycle selector to be pushed off the timer shaft and you can no longer operate the machine.

VERY IMPORTANT:
Stop using the on/off knob to set the wash cycle. Press on the cycle selector to set the wash cycle. Use the on/off knob only for starting or stopping the machine. Don't press or pull too hard on the on/off knob or you will wind up pushing the cycle selector off the timer shaft.

check your lid switch

hi...
the reason it shakes violently is because
1)Most noisesfrom a washing machine occur during the spin cycle. If you hear loudthumping during the spin, the load of clothes may have becomeunbalanced. Stop the washer and redistribute the clothes, then re-startit. Repeat these steps if necessary.

or else the other reason may be



2) If your washer doesn't spin or agitate on either the delicate or regular cycle, check these:

Selector switch
Clutch assembly
Drive motor
Selector switch Ifyour washer has a selector switch on the control panel, make sure thebutton for your selection is pressed all the way in, or set properly.

Clutch assembly ManyGE®/Hotpoint® washers use a clutch and an automatic shift lever. Thisassembly is quite complicated. If there's a problem with it, youprobably should contact a qualified appliance repair technician.

Drive motor manywashing machines have multiple-speed drive motors. Though it'suncommon, the drive motor may work fine on one speed but not onanother. If the drive motor has failed on one speed, you need toreplace the entire motor.


On something like this you will need to
remove the washer wrap toinspect the suspension springs & base assembly. Be sure the shippingpins have been removed. The tub should float freely.

I think my solution would have helped you...rate for me if it is been useful.....thank you for using fixya....
