F/p washer model wa7060g1 wont turn on power at outlet okay

Sounds like either the power button is broke or your plug has a loose wire somewhere.

did you check breaker

Hi,

""The circuit breaker is okay."" that is a good 1st check.

""I may have burnt out the wall outlet. "" Plug a 120VAC device to the washer outlet and see if it works. Why do you think you burnt out/damaged the outlet?

""Turned it off for a while and will try again later."" When you power up the washer do you have any Console indications that the machine is on. I will assume your machine is a FAV6800A TL. Do you have any LED display indicators turned on?

That is all I can help with for now. I'm a technical owner of the FAV6800A machine and will try t help if uour machine is a FAV6800A or FAV9800A.

Most important what is the model number of your machine. This forum fails big time to ask members for Model# and Serial # of their machine.

Here is the Service Manual for the FAV6800A/FAV9800A

check that u have power from outlet to washer, if you have power feeding the unit, press the power button, if no power then u probably have a defective main board, that controls everything in the washer, what is your model number and serial number i could probably give you the part number.......

are you sure the outlet has power? make certain by plugging in a lamp or something else to the outlet first. the timer does have to get power to turn on the unit, but its not likely it is the problem.
try a different cycle and see if it wont run on any position. like fill, wash or spin. then if your outlet is ok, it could be the timer.
i dont think it is but it could happen. usually if the timer fails, it will work on some cycles but not all of them. if it wont work on any cycle then i would expect the outlet first.

try another outlet if this not work return it to the ware house as soon as u can okay

best regards

plz do rate this post.

I tried the usual things, then checked the outlet in the cupboard where the unit is plugged in.....It was okay, but then I noticed a separate electrical cable going into the wall at the outlet. I went to the breaker box downstairs, found a breaker marked "Microwave Oven", flicked it off and on and away the microwave oven went....It is now okay. I guess the thermostat had turned everything off when it became too hot....
anyway all okay now....thx Janet

Suggestion: You dont need any special outlet. With a tester (you can get this in any electric shop) see if there is power in the outlet. You said it was hot?? It is not supposed to be hot. Try another outlet; & you could unscrew your machine plug to see if all the three wires are okay, ie. well connected, screwed in.
