I have had the same problems many times with this washer. It is usually something that has made its way into the pump inlet located below the tub. You will need to disconnect the water lines and the power, tip the washer back and access three 8mm screws on the bottom panel located across the front of the bottom panel. You will then see numerous hoses connected with spring clamps. Remove all the spring clamps and disconnect all the hoses. You will have quite a bit of water dump out, but this is normal. Look inside all the hoses to see if there is a blockage. Also feel around inside the openings of a clear plastic container located at the back of the washer. I have found socks jammed inside completely blocking the water flow. In one opening you will see a small white ball...this is normal as it is a check valve and needs to remain in the container to ensure proper operation. If you have not found any blockages in any of the openings, you will need to remove the impeller from the pump motor. As you look at the bottom of your washer, it is located on the right side halfway between the front and the back with two short hoses attached to the plastic container previously mentioned. Remove the two small clips holding the impeller to the motor and you will be able to pull it down. Insert your finger into the opening and ensure the blades inside rotate freely. I have also found a penny stuck inside the impeller in the past that has not allowed the impeller to turn. After removing any obstructions, replace the impeller and reconnect all hoses securely. Hopefully this will fix your drain problems. I have had this washer since 2003 and I have had to follow this procedure nearly once a year. Hope this helps!

after and hour off will it make it through the cycle? if so the motor could be over heating and shutting down. if not look and see if the pump turns freely and if there is an idler pully make sure it turns freely. check between tubs outer and inner for any sock or piece of clothing that could have went over the tub on a large lode and causing a resistance.check for a pinched off drain hose which will not allow it to drain. it has to drain to spin. or it will over heat pump. could be something caught in pump. try not to get wet,. done that alot when i had my business.

It is so common that the drain leaks in many ways and is the most problematic fault in a washing machine. In all occasions it is important that your observation is most important and so is vital to the identification /rectification and solution. If you have noticed that water has leaked then as the drain hose pump/valve and fittings are located on the underside of the machine it is important that you look for possible leaks here. In some cases the drain hose would be clogged at the drain end to outlet of the house and so there will be back flushing resulting in overflow to the outside. Also the drain pump/valve can be clogged or the drain hose clamps can be loose on the grip which can all cause the leak to occur. Removing and cleaning the drain pump/valve, tightening of the hose is also very important. Also water can leak if there are gaps on the front door gaskets and must be checked but this will happen only during the cycle and not on the drain cycle end.

Hi thereI wonder why "dark streaks" on white towels. I presume that you have made sure that there is no dirt flying around in the machine.Try to let the machine go a circle -without any washing in it- just to see if the water takes color. There are also in the shops washing powderthat remove stains of different types. Also powder for "only whites"good luckKolbrun

CE Communications Error If there is any breakdown in communication between the machine controller and the motor controller, CE flashes and the unit beeps once.

Some common causes of CE errors include:

· Conformal coating on serial communications pins between the machine controller and motor controller. After disconnecting power to the unit, try scraping this coating off the pins.

· Check the resistance values between the serial communications pins with the connectors in place. Make sure the harness does not have a bad connection.

· Check the quick disconnect at the motor terminal. The drive motor must be hooked up properly or a CE error will occur.

· Drive motor thermal protector has opened.

·Motor controller is not powered or fuse has opened. Replace motor controller.

Press STOP/CANCEL to clear the display.

That is when the spin cycle starts I believe. Might want to check the motor coupling to see if its broke

Hi.Please go through the following check list:Check that the load is evenly distributed.Check that the machine is well balanced.Check that the floor under the machine is even.If that does not fix the problem, there is usually a fault. Parts to inspect are bearing and shaft under the basked, struts and mounts.

LS Lid Switch Error The control should flash this error code if it cannot detect the lid switch opening and closing properly. This error code may also be used if there is a disagreement between the motor and machine controllers on the stat if the lid switch. The control should not allow the unit to run in this condition.
This code will also appear if the user presses the START key while the lid is open.
Open the lid or press STOP/CANCEL to clear the display.

This washer is known to eat some clothes.I found a great big silk pillow case between tubs once:Most of the damage is done in the beginning of the cycle directly after the brain has re-destributed the clothes. Any items of clothing with strings need not be washed in this machine or the strings will get into the pump:I wrote an article for FY on these:http://www.fixya.com/support/r5224450-calypso_repair_manual If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/dan_73bbd84fe1d95b61

Not exactly a solution but I will share my experience.Ihv an apt. size washer and when i hooked up and tried to use at first, it was draining while was trying to fill for wash or rinse cycle. My problem was that the drain hose where it comes out of the washer was not in an upright enough position and therefore there must be some type of sensor.so maybe u shld ensure your drain hose is in fact going UPward and out to drain water. I hope helps. good luck
