Hello,
It sounds like a syphoning problem.

In the back of the machine, where the drain hose enters the hole, make sure that drain hose is less than 10 inches in.

There is no actual drain valve, but rather physics to keep water in tub.

The drain system MUST be located HIGHER than the deck fo the machine, with console height being preferred.

Drain during spin cycle is normal, as rinse is intended to also drain away at that time..

My wmd 1050 front loader won't continue with its cycle. It fills, does a few turns, empties and finishes., all in a few minutes. It doesn't seem to wash but will spin dry when manually put on a spin dry...

Are you sure the machine is not overfilling? next step after filling would be water heating - sounds like a water heating problem if machine spins and drains ok. Maybe a coin in the wash has punctured the element? water heater can be test for insulation / continuity if you have a high voltage tester, or remove it and examine if not by releasing the nut and pulling firmly. If it is scaled, holed or black replacement will be needed. Sometimes socks or clothing stuck on the heater cause localised overheating that will make it fail.

My frigidaire front load washer will start a wash, complete the first cycle but then stop and flash all the lights and beep continously until I press "start" or "cancel". If I press "start" again it just...

Hello there:
If your cycle does not complete or The cycle doesn't advance
When the cycle should advance, it's probably the timer or a cold-water supply problem: It's the timer, if your washing machine fills with water and begins agitating, but the timer never advances--or if the washer is in a spin cycle and the timer won't advance. Then you need to replace the timer. It may be a cold-water supply problem, if the washing machine fills with water, agitates, drains, and spins, but then doesn't fill with rinse water. than check the cold water supply line and the filter

Spin/drain cycle won't start

If the timer gets to the rinse cycle and stops,
Check the lid switch for continuity. If no continuity replace the lid switch.
If the timer continues through rinse and spin without doing either, replace the timer.

Washer will not advance in the rinse cycle,water just runs continuely.

check the drain hose it should be only 6 to 8 inch in your drain line if drain hose is all the way in the drain line correct it and you will be fine.

Kenmore will not agitate

The timer is the most common problem. Call any appliance parts store and tell them the model number and ask for price for new timer. Also call sears appliance parts and get price. But a new timer and install it.

Washer keeps filling w/ water, only stops when changed to spin

Your drain line is too low.
OR the drain line is restricting air where it enters the drain stand pipe.
Remove the drain line and hold it up high.
Turn the washer on to fill. It should fill then stop.
This example should explain what you must do to correct the drain line problem.
