Hi , try to check timer small motor .,also available in appliances store.

Your broken shocks could have disconnected some wires due to the vibration. Plug off the wall, open up the machine to examine. In the process you have to change the shocks. Disconnect and refit each terminal, especially the connector to the motor.Click if helped.

Hello paigeterrajr - Well, if there isn't any motor movement, it could be the door switch, the motor, or the main control board. Since the shock absorber could possibly be broken as well, it is possible that the unit thinks that it is not balance properly which will prevent it from going into a high speed spin/agitate. Because it could be a number of any one of several underlying causes, I would recommend contacting a professional to properly diagnose and repair the unit.

Hi slogjlog - Often when a unit does not spin or agitate, it is because the unit cannot properly drain and dispose of the water and detergent solution. Does the unit make a humming noise? If so, the drainage hose/pump may be clogged and needs to be cleaned. If not, the washer may possibly be experiencing an issue with the door lock assembly, faulty pump, timer or control board not communicating correctly. Because it could be a number of any one of several underlying causes, I would recommend contacting a professional to properly diagnose and repair the unit.

Check the shocks on the bottom of the drum. I had the same problem and had to replace the shocks because they were broken in half.

Hello Ronald Kankelfitz - Consult a professional to move forward accurately. Usually repair or installing information is not release to a consumer and it is very rare to find enough information to do it yourself. In most cases this information can be found on the internet; however it is not provided directly from the manufacturer. They also usually warranty their labor just in case something else may turn out to be the root cause of your initial problem and it does work out better to your advantage. Consider contacting your manufacturer for more details on who in your area may guide you through this process.

Hi tdudley770 - From what you have described the dryer may possibly have a communication problem with the control board, defective cord/wiring, or faulty door lock assembly. Try resetting the unit by either unplugging it or flipping the household circuit breaker off. Wait approximately ten minutes. If it proves to be ineffective, I suggest contacting a professional to accurately diagnose the unit and move forward accurately.

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.

If the water flows though the inlet then the flow pressure should be good, if not the inlet valve is bad or there is dirt in the filter. Also check the flow at the inlet of the water line. Once the water comes into the system the WATER LEVEL SENSOR - normally a pressure switch- must activate at the preset/chosen level to give the signal to the program controller to switch on the motor. What is most important for the motor to start functioning is that the door switch must be ON when the door is shut or this will be an error for starting the motor for rinse and wash.

Finally after the wash the drain valve will be activated, the water is allowed to come in to rinse and then finally the dry spin with the drain valve/pump activated so as to drain off all the water from the clothes during the spin.

Make sure that a fault in any of the cycle will relate to the specified action, so check the command from the program module and then the executing device be it the valve or motor or pump.

Do you notice any alpha-numeric error codes or any audible beeps? If the unit does not agitate or spin you might have a blockage in the drain lines or pump. If you do, the unit is designed to not spin further to prevent any leaking.

The internal brush can be used to replace brush in similar holder on certain Electrolux, Frigidaire, and Kenmore washers (at least motor # 131276200).

Hello Amanda Fosdick - It sounds like the washer either has a problem with the front tub, rear bearing or a loose connecting with the motor or drum. I recommend contacting a professional to move forward accurately and properly diagnose the unit. The part(s) may have to be replace depending if they are worm, damaged or loose.

Not spinning but can you hear the motor running? The drive belt probably came off or snapped.

Hello landlord guy - Does the unit make a humming noise? If so, either the drainage hose/pump is clogged and needs to be cleaned, or you have another issue with the door lock assembly or the timer and control board not communicating correctly.

When a unit fills then drains it could be signaling that there is a bigger problem like a problem in the main circuitry the best thing to do is to higher a professional to come out and take a look at the circuit boards. I know it's not a quick fix answer but its better to have it checked out then that much water end up going everywhere.

Check your door latch and the control panel for any error codes that might display. If you do not see any error codes, check your drainage lines for debris or blockages. If that is clear, contact a professional to have the control board and timer diagnosed for possible repairs.

With any front load machine manufacturers suggest to leave the door open after cycles to help evaporate the water - this is even done in top loading machines nowadays. Also clean the unit with bleach water and rinse in high temp water cycles.
