It washes fine, then starts the rinse cycle. It will fill with water, but won't drain or spin all of the time. Usually I would have to restart the rinse cycle, and it would finish up.
Yesterday, however, I noticed it had not drained. So I manually tried to restart it, and realized that the breaker had blown. I reset the breaker, and it started making a very strained buzzing noise, and I started to smell burning electronics...so I unplugged it.
I did some troubleshooting today, and found that it will drain and spin just fine (though it is louder than normal) in the "Extra rinse" cycle. It will not, however, complete the rinse cycle. As soon as it is done filling, it makes a loud grinding type noise and won't actually work.
I'm going to look at it some more, but I would appreciate it if anyone could help me out. I originally posted my problem under the MAV6000 washer, but realized it was the wrong model after I got home.
Just found out that the belt is loose, and that a paper towel roll had wedged itself in one of the corner wheels. It was a bit black...
I'll replace that first, then see if it is fixed (fingers crossed).Just found out that the belt is loose, and that a paper towel roll had wedged itself in one of the corner wheels. It was a bit black...

Fixed it last night, turned out to be a paper towel center roll that got jammed up in the pump wheel that was causing the smoke. The belt also stretched out a bit, from a 50" belt, to a 50.5" (measured).

see the next steps and use the common sense: God bless you When the cycle doesn't 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. See There's no cold water.
Hi,
Its sounds like you have a siphon going on, this happens when the drain hose it too low during fill and as the water enters the unit it exits through the drain hose. To stop this the drain hose needs to be higher than the tub itself, meaning: raise the drain hose behind the washer to about control panel area. This will or should stop the siphon effect and allow the water to remain in the tub. If the drain hose is low this siphon will start again.
I hope this helps
When the washer initially fills for the wash, is it only hot water entering the drum? Try switching the water temperature between hot and cold as it fills. If any of them show little or no water getting through, it sounds too easy but check to make sure water supply taps are on, and that the cold/hot fill hoses aren't reversed. Remove the fill hoses and check any of the screen filters for blockage (in the hoses and in the inlet water valve). When the machine stops and waits to fill but all you hear is a hum, it sounds like there is power going to the valve but water is not able to get through it. Good luck!
it will fill but won,t spin, will throw out water as if it washed, then it take water to rinse but won,t spin ,then will throw out water as if it did , but clothes are soaked
most new washers have cold water only rinse and spray rinse ck cold water coming into machine during wash if no cold comes in suspect cold side of fill vale not opening ..could be wiring issue or a bad valve
There could be several causes for this, but probably a bad timer. One test for this...when it stops...is to turn it off...and turn the timer slightly clockwise...to the middle of the rinse cycle...and turn it back on. Does it run then?? Try advancing it to the spin cycle after the rinse. If it runs okay after you manually advance the knob...the timer is probably defective.
Sounds like coupling gears between transmission and motor... they did away with the belt and went direct drive with coupling gears. It can pump water out but nothing else. water pump is mounted to front of motor is why it will pump water out.
