Sounds like its syphoning out the water. If it was overfilling, you would have water everywhere, the machine would eventually flood. Check the drain hose. Make sure the end is higher than the water level in the machine and that there are no extensions running outside which have an end lower than the water level in the machine, it will start syphoning, usually after the first pump out.

Testimonial: "It drains okay, put it on the spin cycle and it drained perfectly. On a regular cycle, it fills, runs for 3 to 4 minutes then fills again, and the timer is stuck on the same number as it fills, pauses, fills, pauses, doesn't go through all cycles or drain the water. Checked drain hose, it is okay."

    Sorry Peggy, Not sure now. It may as what has been described above regarding blockages but I cant understand why it stops and starts filling but doesn't flood? Eventually, the machine will overfill. Check to see if there are any lint balls or blockages but it is strange that it pumps out OK on spin...

SOURCE: Pause during cycle

Check your exit hose spigot, it may be clogged. This is if your filter is all clean. There should be air for passage in the standpipe behind. Your hose should not fit airtight into the standpipe and neither too deep into it. Snaking out your standpipe would be good too.

SOURCE: GE WSSH300G0WW front load washer

Had same problem with GE wssh300 front load washer. Removed two screws from front bottom panel (under washer front). Pulled off panel, loosened screw from a seal ring on the rubber flex hose going to a 4" square plastic housing. Reached down inside and found a ton of lint (probaby a 2" balls worth) jamming outlet. Removed lint an works geat. Very easy to do by tilting front of washer up and putting supports under front to keep elevated. Be careful to make sure supports are sturdy washer can't dop when servicing.

SOURCE: Washer will pause in mid cycle, once you push the

Hi


Thanks for using FixYa. You’ll need to clean the filter which is located on the front bottom of the washing machine right below the washer window. It is held up by three screws. Take out the screws and clean the lint. You’ll find in the lint some small clothing, coins and other small things.


Please do rate the solution and revert for further assistance.


Thanks

Whirlpool Cabrio WTW6700TW1 skips wash cycle and stops after 14 minutes to oL

oL is an Overload error. Try running a cycle empty.

If oL (overloaded) appears in display, the load too large. If an overload is detected, the washer will drain any water and detergent in the washer. Remove several items and add HE detergent. Close lid and press START/PAUSE.

Frigidaire heavy duty super capacity 2 speed combonation sometimes goes through cycle fine but mostly continuously fills and drains at start S.N. XE32103237 - FEZ831CAS2

All front loading washers will fill and drain multiple times before it finishes. Unlike a top loader, a front loading washer will take longer to run because there is no agitator and will fill with water and drain multiple times. A front loader is more energy efficient than a Traditional top loading washing machine. A washer dryer combo will take hours to complete a cycle.

How long should a complete regular load take?

A regular load should probably take approximately 40 minutes, but there are various times for every different washer. The washer I have at home takes about 50 minutes to an hour. It really depends on the quality of the washer. Certain washers today use less water therefore it takes longer to wash

Why is the SP light flashing when the machine has filled with water and is ready to go

sp is the code for stand by or pause
so if you have set a soak period then it will stay there until the soak period has finished
if it is sp and you have pressed pause/start extra time the machine is in pause mode until you press start again

How to clean it

You could purchase front loader washing machine cleaning chemical or soap. My experience with cleaning chemical and soap was to just masking smell, not fixing the problem. I did a few search and came out with using vinegar, baking powder and bleach is most effective way to clean and get smell out of washing machine. ie run cleaning cycle with 1 or 2 cup of vinegar, let it run for 20 ~ 30 minutes and pause for 30 minutes (it help break it up) let resume and finish cycle. Run cleaning cycle again with baking powder. If your machine don't have cleaning cycle use hot water and heavy load setting. Hope this help you.

Frigidaire Affinity ATF6700FS2 pauses with every load

Hello - This particular issue can be caused by quite a few reasons. Washer could be experiencing a communication error from the main control board, faulty door lock assembly or the timer itself is not operating correctly. Did you notice a humming noise? If so, either the drainage hose/pump is clogged and needs to be cleaned or could possibly have another issue with the door lock assembly or pressure switch. You can also press and hold the start/pause and cancel button together at the same time for approximately 30 seconds to display an error code on the LED. What error code does it display? However, I would suggest contacting a professional to accurately diagnose the washer.

My Duet washer doesn't run through the entire spin cycle on heavy duty setting. Clothes come out of washer, naturally,WET!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seems to spin out better on the normal cycle. spin cycle dosent...

If the drain time exceeds eight minutes, the water valves are
turned off and “F/02” is flashed. Press PAUSE/CANCEL two
times to clear the display.
NOTE: After four minutes the “Sud” error will be displayed,
then four minutes later the “F/02” error code will be
displayed.



Possible Causes / Procedure
1. Check the drain hose and make sure it is not plugged
or kinked.
2. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
3. Check the electrical connections at the pump and make
sure the pump is running.
4. Check the drain pump filter for foreign objects.
