Brand new. Load gets stuck on 14 minutes or some other time & repeats over & over. Wont finish cycle. We have to use the drain & spin to get the water out but then clothes are not rinsed well. No error message, but slight buzz during entire wash time.

Sounds like you are probably doing a very bulky or real off balance load on a high spin speed setting. The washer is trying to get the load up to spin speed, but the load is too off balanced. Try the lowest spin speed setting for that load. If it makes it through that, then power machine back on and just push the spin speed button until the next higher speed shows up, and then the start button if you want to spin it out better. If it still didn't make it through the original cycle on the lowest spin speed, your load must be way too off balanced, like one coat that is saturated with water. If that is the case, you may even have to squeeze some water out of it by hand before you would be able to get the washer to get it up to spin speed.

I have an lg tromm front load washer. I am getting the IE fault. I have cleaned the inlet screens and drain filter. It gets stuck at the 13 min mark, seems like it just won't go to spin cycle.

LE code mean suds have built up. Using non he (High Efficiency) detergent or too much detergent will cause this error most front loaders use he detergent only there is a he swirl on the container
Let your washer sit idle or 45 minutes.Unplg washer as well
Plug in and turn on as left spin speed select no spin press Start/pause to start a drain only cycle. When cycle is complete remove load. Start a rinse•spin cycle to clean out residue.
If the sud were too much you may have to repeat

Lg front wont finish wash resets to spin cycle

Sounds like the programme software control logic circuits are playing up. This is a job for a qualified Technician only. The control board may need replacing.
Pay for a service call and just get a quote to fix it.

If it's within your budget, fix it oherwise replace with another machine of your choice of brand and features.

Model WF02466gb/07 Is taking forever to finish a cycle. The time runs down normally then steps back by 15 minutes plus. It just sits going back and forwards. It has new brushes on the motor.

Hi rod_ogden,

Usually the Drain Pump cannot drain the water, and the cycle will get stuck on that position and continue washing. You may need to clean the Drain Pump filter, as there may be a foreign object hindering its draining capability.

Please follow my below Tip on how to do this:

ACCESSING, DRAINING & CLEANING THE DRAIN PUMP FILTER...

Kind Regards

Front load whirlpool washer wont drain. (ghw9150pw0) I cleaned the trap, ran the spin and drain cycle. It gave me the suds message, but then the load drained fine. I then ran an empty cycle hoping to...

I don't know if this will help you, but we have a Haier HNS1460TVE and this is apparently made by Whirlpool ... we have a similar problem in that if the load is not full it will not spin, it stops at 9 minutes and just gets stuck !!!

We have found that emptying the machine & turning it off and on, with the door shut, resets the machine ... hope that helps you !!

Wont finish a small load. Gets to 4 minutes and

With a small load, the machine will have a difficult, if not impossible job of balancing the load. A bigger load will help. Another thing you can do is to use a low spin speed. If you wish to spin it out faster, just turn the machine back on after it has finished a cycle on the low spin speed and just push the spin speed button without selecting a cycle. You can touch the spin speed button until it shows the next higher spin speed, then push the start button and the machine will not fill with any water, it will just pump and spin. (about 14 minutes) This generally works, because you have spun most of the water out at a lower spin speed, and now the washer is able to reach the next higher spin speed as the load is not as unbalanced as it was before the low speed spin.

Whirlpool Calypso Cycle Problem

The FL error code means:
Flood Condition:
FL flashes if any overfill condition occurs. This condition occurs when excessive water in the tub causes the overfill switch to trip. The control must realize that the trip was due to an overfill condition instead of a suds lack condition in order for FL to be displayed

With an overfill condition, the beeper repeats a warning every 10 seconds with no time-out. The pump is cycled in drain mode for 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off until the overfill switch resets or power is discontinued to the unit.

Press STOP/CANCEL to clear the display.

This problem I see on these are the water pumps getting clogged with lint or other things, causing the pump not to pump all of the water out at times.

There is a check "valve" in the drain assembly that seems to sometimes cause problems with the FL error code. You can remove this piece, and might avoid changing the pump.
