Start a load. Water runs halfway then shuts off. Have to manually take out water.

    What about the switch on top of washer? Could it be that if the switch is broken (where door closes properly) the cycle won't run or is this completely false????

It's a switch either in the control panel or at the top of the tub with a small tube connected to it which goes down between the inner and outer tub. As the water level increases the air in the tube is compressed until there is enough pressure to make the switch stopping the water from filling and allowing the wash cycle to start. . This tube can get clogged and the switch won't work. Remove the tube and clean it out. Blowing on the tube when it's still connected to the switch will make the switch if it's working and clear.

If the water doesn't drain does that mean your washer doesn't spin after washing. Could be a loose or broken belt.

    The lid switch which is closed when you shut the lid will prevent the washer from starting on some models and just keeps it from spinning on others. Most will agitate with the lid open but not spin. You can bypass the switch to test it by unplugging the two wires going to it and connect them together. You may have to slightly raise the top to access it. Or use a tool to depress it in case the lid is not pushing it far enough.

Bosch Axxis WFL2060 stopped working on a wash cycle. The first time I used liquid HE detergent. I am sure I put too much in and the interior foamed up, the detergent tray foamed up and came out underneath...

water in base after overfoaming has leak detection if you can tip machine back this water will run onto floor allowing unit to rest, make sure you put down some rags towel etc to trap water there will be up to a pint of water.

The water wont shut off

Check water valve. Solenoid may be stuck. This is where your hoses attach to, all one unit.

Water will not shut off.

1st: check to see if the hose that the water comes out when it drains is higher than the water level in the washer.

2nd: It could be the plastic line that is inside of the washer that determines the water level.

Check the hose at the back to see if it's higher first.

Let me know

Washer won't stop filling with water

In yor machine control panel you have A part called a pressure switch or water level switch. that controls the water level and tells the timer to start aggitating .If the part is bad the machine will over fill and keep running the water!!

Whirlpool washing machinge

Check your water hoses to make sure that the screens are clear of sediments. Take them off and try running water through them at your sink or outside tap. Hold a bucket under the water valves at the wall to make sure they are running freely. There is usually a screen located on the machine where the water hoses attach. Check to see if that is clear also. The fill may be on a timer and if the water flow is compromised, it may be as simple as clearing it of debris. You may also want to try to top up the water in the drum manually to where you think that it should be to see if the washer will continue through the rest of the cycles.
