20 Most Recent Admiral AW22 Top Load Washer - Page 7 Questions & Answers

have you checked the drive couple in the unit this is a video on how to change the drive couple by following these steps you will be able to tell if the drive coupler in your unit is broken if the drive couple is not broken then your most likely looking at replacing a cluth or a brake which are found on the transmission shaft but message me back if you find it is not the drive coupler and we will go from there Thanks Rick here is your link http://www.youtube.com/user/RepairClinic?v=9K1KHEogf3c&feature=pyv&ad=5453897861&kw=washing%20machine%20coupler

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
I would suggest checking the plumbing u-bend for trouble first. If cooler washes are normally used they do not kill bacteria- that needs 90+ degrees. You could also run the contents of a proprietary washer cleaner/ de-scaler through the system which will also clean the heater element!
If this has assisted you please consider a 4 thumbs up for the rating.
Thanks and good luck,

Hello, welcome to FixYa.

You specified this is a new or recent install, and as long as water is indeed entering the unit here`s what I find is most common when dealing with the symptom you`ve described ( as long as water isn't filling over the top...that indicates a different issue )

I'd suspect the drain hose is lying down on the floor or is pushed down into the stand-pipe too far.

If the drain hose is below the water level entering the washer it will siphon out immediately. The drain hose must be above the highest point the washer has to fill, ( refer to your manual, but it is typically recommended to be about "48 to "60 in height but not more than 90" or so )

**The standpipe drain requires a minimum diameter standpipe of 2" (5 cm). The minimum carry-away capacity can be no less than 17 gal. (64 L) per minute. A 2" (5 cm) diameter to 1" (2.5 cm) diameter standpipe adapter kit is available. " The top of the standpipe must be at least 39" (99 cm) high and no higher than 96" (244 cm) from the bottom of the washer.**

Also if it is in a stand pipe insure it isn't pushed in too far, just a few inches and then secure it without completely covering over the opening or that too will cause it to siphon.

Check your drain hose. Let me know if this was indeed the case and if so please rate the solution accordingly. If not we can move forward from there.

Thank's for coming to FixYa and good luck.

Thanks for choosing FixYa and welcome. You need to check the motor drive. It controls the spinning and the agitation.

No. Usually it takes special tools to replace the do this job and a lot of space.

Watch the video for known suspects in washer spin fail.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
It is necessary to ensure absolutely that the machine, even when empty, has all 4 feet very firmly on the floor, and I mean firmly ;-0)

Doesn't matter whether it is empty or not but switch it off then-
very firmly push one front corner diagonally into the centre of the machine and see if the machine moves or rocks AT ALL, even the slightest. If it does you will need the open-ended spanner which came with the (new) machine........which of course went missing a long time ago?!! An adjustable spanner will suffice.
Adjust the foot under that corner downwards until it is very firmly- almost pushing- against the floor but not so far that the corner lifts up!
If this corner did not rock do the same to the other.
Once you cannot rock the machine the slightest little bit, screw the locking nuts up tight to the underside of the machine so that they will not move. Ideally the rear feet should also be locked.

If this has not cured the problem it is possible that the internal suspension is malfunctioning.

Good luck,

John C

Hi,

If you have a problem with your washer or dishwasher continuing to fill with water after the valve has closed, then you this tip will help you understand why that is happening.

Washer or Dishwasher Fills with Water when offheatman101

Drain hose is mounted too low. Must be 36 inches above the floor. Service manual


Let me know. If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/dan_73bbd84fe1d95b61

What is the model number that is on the machine? Look under the lid, on the top of the control panel, or on one of the sides.

Hello,

Check the drain pump on the bottom of the unit often the hose will block causing this issue, let me know,

Hello,

This may be due to a slipping or failed belt, tip the unit back and visually inspect for any signs of a worn or broken belt.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

Sorry but I do not know your particular machine BUT I would suggest as a first step that you clean the drain motor lint tray/filter. So many 'faults' are caused by blocked filters. The motor is unable to drain all of the water in the allotted time.
If you are unsure where the filter is, it is often behind the front lower (kick) panel (or in some machines at the rear in an awkward position!) and held in by a round cover/knob.

REMOVE POWER AND ENSURE YOU HAVE A WATER RECEPTACLE/RAGS TO SOAK UP THE WATER WHICH IS BOUND TO POUR OUT!

It's surprising what people have found in theirs! It is always worthwhile checking it on a regular basis.
Now- whilst the filter is removed it is normally possible to see the drain motor and ensure it is not jammed by a foreign object such as a needle or a toothpick. It should be able to be turned by hand/finger- the power IS OFF!
At this point it is also possible to test if the motor works. No clothes or water in the machine, select a spin cycle and put the power back on. You should be able to see the motor turning at some point, possibly straight away. If it doesn't work then the motor is malfunctioning!

Hope the filter is the problem and good luck!

Have you checked the drain hose?

Hi,
Sorry- all I can suggest is that you go on-line and search the web for other parts suppliers. You should be able to find one somewhere.
Sorry again and good luck,

Remove the rinse dispenser from the top of the agitator (spinning deal). Unscrew the agitator cap located on top of the agitator which is only hand tightened. Once the plastic agitator cap is removed from the top of the agitator you should see a screw which you will need a socket or an adjustable wrench to remove the screw. The agitator can now be removed by lifting strait up to free the sleeve. My only concern is how the sleeve became lodged under the agitator unless the tub became unbalanced from a heavy load. The other possibility could be the support for the tub is broken and needs to be replaced.

Hi,

Quick answer-
your supplier should be able to give the right belt from the model number ;-0)
