This can be a motor control fault, and sometimes a fault with the motor itself, test motor windings for equal resistance, and check motor physically for wear / damage. replace motor controller.

SOURCE: elba washer wont drain

There is a a panel 10" by 5" on the front bottom right corner, carefully remove it, and with a torch look inside to see if the belt is still working and still in good condition. With the plug disconnected, remove the belt and try to turn the pump pulley by hand, if there is resistance you may have a jammed or a faulty pump. With machine going, looking through the inspection hole you may be able to see the belt trying to work.

Did you clean the filter, normally it's located at the front bottom of your machine. If you didn't it could fix the problem.

Elba washer is not washing or spinning right...the only thing its doing is adding water

I couldn't tell if the water was draining. When you advance the cycle to spin the first thing it should do is drain the water. This will happen for a short time before it spins. If it is not draining then you need to check the drain pump for blockages( and pipes) the machine will not spin with water in it! If it is draining but not spinning then it is probably a faulty lid switch and needs replacing. There are a couple of other causes but they will usually create a fault code which you don't seem to have. Most likely blocked or faulty drain pump.

How do I adjust the clutch on an ELBA Model WA50T54W1 top loader washing machine ?

Hi.

Unfortunately the service documentation for Elba is not available. Although the machine has been built by F&P and although is similar to a Fisher & Paykel Smartdrive there are some small difference. The clutch system may be similar to the smartdrive. I have uploaded the service manuals for two smart drive models below, see if that can help. Check section about disassembly.

New water pump, cleaned trap, checked little vaccuum hose and it wont do final spin. No errors on panel and everything else works fine

If your washer fills to the correct level, agitates through the wash cycle, and then drains, I would check the door safety switch for proper positioning and switching operation. The switch should have minimal resistance (closed circuit) when it is depressed and high resistance (open circuit) when released.

Washing machine wont spin and only drains when it wants to

This means to just restart the wash cycle. But I say the culprit is the lid safety switch. Make sure it is not stuck. This is the main reason washers will not spin.
