here is a pic of the diagram at where the filters are at Susan

bad water valve on cold or hot

probably the bearings, get this fixed before leak / further damage occurs.

I would try to clean your washer. Tide makes a washer cleaner, I use it at least once a month on my HE.

It is possible that the machine does not start off the cycle because there are errors due to feedback from the inputs. For the program to start up the main program controller must initiate the INLET/MOTOR/DRAIN pump/ valve to open up and allow each function to be driven starting from the flow of water into the drum as also the drain valve to open to exit the water at the point of the program cycle. If this does not happen then the voltage at the valve/motor/pump must be checked or the fault relates to no voltage from the controller. This means the controller is a suspect.

It sounds like you may have something stuck in the pump...try and locate the pump(normaly at the bottom of machine)and unscrew the cover...be aware that the machine may still have water in it....once you unscrew the cover,have a look and a feel inside...there may be a coin or other object stoppint the pump from turning...remove any foreighn object...replace the screw on cover and try to drain the water again....this should solve your problem.

Its sounds to me like maybe the belt is slipping that will smell like something burning.

Removes odor causing residue in front loading (HE) washers. Keeps your machine fresh and clean. Package includes 3 tablets. For front load washers only.Here is what you need.

The motor could be leaking oil. Pull the machine out and look for stains or puddles on the floor.

Could you please describe the problem you are having a little better?

CA Cl Average current limit Or Instantaneous current limit If a status signal comes back from the motor controller that a current limit has been breached, the unit will return to standby mode and display either CA for average current limit trip or Cl for instantaneous current limit trip. Average current trip occurs if there is a 2 second average of current draw greater than 5.55 amps at the motor windings. Instantaneous current trip occurs if there is a spike of 26 amps instantly at the motor windings. This may signify problems with the drive motor, thermal protector, or motor controller. Over-loading the unit may cause this problem. Press STOP/CANCEL to clear the display

Check and make sure there is power at the control board. Test the control panel ribbon cable across P11-1 & P12-5, when start is pressed, these should go from infinity to a readable level. Post back your results.

What do you mean by "swallowed"? Is it in the drain pump or under the agitator?

top half will not agitate

Where is it getting stuck?

This error means Long Drain and occurs if the machine takes longer than 8 minutes to drain.

LF means a long fill was detected. This means that the washer sensor did not sense enough water coming into the unit in the first 8 minutes after starting the wash cycle. There are several things that you can check. First, make sure that the incoming water pressure is good. You can try replacing the intake hoses and checking the filters on both sides (inside the washer and at the shut-off valves). (When you take the hoses off the shut-off valves, put a bucket under the outlets and check the flow rate.) Some intake hoses will seal themselves if they detect a leak. This will significantly reduce the water flow. If the filters are clogged, you get a similar restricted flow.Next, check that the end of the drain hose is not positioned below the fill level of the washer. This will cause the water to be suctioned out of the tub as fast as it fills. If the water is flowing well, the intake valves or the water pressure sensor (which detects the change in the weight of the tub) could be bad or have a wiring harness problem. I 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.
