These units spin at a high RPM. With just a few clothes, especially jeans and sweat items, the drum is off balance and therefore will have the above symptoms. These newer units weren't designed to run just a few items. It's a full load or nothing. It's an energy conservation thing.

Your water level switch is bad. Take 3 screws off the back, lift cover move toward the back You will find a small a small black tube going to a small box, that is your water level switch. The part number should be on it. Should be FSP then the number. If you have trouble call a service tech.

A lot of people convince themselves that the shock absorbers are causing the problem, but that is rarely the case. if you remove one of them, you will find that they are actually two pieces, and only provide some compression cushioning as the barrel moves around. a little bit of grease might help them a little. Do make sure that they are all connected and positively secured in place, as they sometimes look connected correctly but actually aren't, which can cause problems.

In my experience the problem is that the base, over time, begins to amplify the vibrations of the machine. It is after all, a top-heavy setup. Try putting the machine directly on the floor and see if that does the trick (get help, it's heavy)

there are thermostats that will pop if the dryer runs to hot,a dryer needs to be pulled apart at least once a year to be cleaned out,all it does is move air,if the vent line is blocked or lint builds up in the duct that the lint filter slides into the thermal fuse or high limit thermostat will pop as a safety,if you don't clean the dryer and vent line the new part will pop again.also the door switch could be broke or the belt could have snapped,some dryers have a safety switch,if the belt snaps the switch will open and the dryer won't start.so first thing you'll need a meter,unplug the dryer,remove the bottom panel,pull out the lint filter,remove the metal duct that the filter slides into,on the top of the blower wheel housing you'll see a white part,this is the thermal fuse,you have to remove at least one of the wires,check it with the meter,if you send the full model number i can look up your dryer,most likely the fuse will be a 3392519 thermal fuse,like i said if the fuse is bad you have to clean out the dryer and vent line or the fuse will pop again.and check the door switch,open the door,push the switch in and out if it makes a clicking sound most likely it's good.let me know what you find and send model number.

The solution to the "LOC" error depends on many factors, including which Elite model machine you own and the cause of the error. If your machine has an "Options" and a "Select" button, try pressing and holding these for five seconds to clear the locking error. You can also try unplugging the machine for five minutes and then plugging it back in.

if you look at the console you should see a button with a lock next to it and it should tell you told hold the button in for three second to lock it and hold it for three seconds to take it out

If this is a top loading machine; remove the trim strips on the left and right ends of the dash. Then you'll see a screw at the bottom of each corner(left and right). remove (AND KEEP) the screws. Now the dash will lift and fold back.

Either the cylenoid to let the water in is bad. Or the hose from the dispenser to the drum is clogged. Most common with powder detergents. Some really hot water poured into the dispenser may solve the problem.

Most likely you have a bad pressure switch or hose

Check to see if the water is hot when it's pumped out, if it's not then your heater element may need replaced, if it is then the temp sensor may be the fault. :)

The F35 error code indicates a problem with the analog pressure sensor, air hose or air trap. If the hose and trap are good you will need to replace the pressure sensorThe "Sud" error code indicates too much or the wrong kind of laundry soap was used. Be sure to use only HE (high efficiency) detergent on this model of washer.

Water should just reach bottom of wm door .

Have you pulled the drain filter out? It is located beneath the door behind the lower panel. Remove the lower panel to access it. Once you see it put a bucket on the floor to catch the water if any comes out. The filter just unscrews. We want to make certain there is nothing trapped in there preventing the water from draining.
