Warning! To avoid personal injury or even death, always disconnect your appliance from its power source--that is, unplug it or break the connection at the circuit breaker or fuse box--before you do any troubleshooting or repair work on your appliance. Also, because some components may have sharp edges, use caution while working on your appliance.

There's an error code on the digital display

It doesn't work at all
It cleans poorly
There's no water entering the machine
The water doesn't drain from the machine
It's noisy
It leaks
The dry cycle has problems
The door has problems
The cycle doesn't complete
I see an error code
The detergent cup doesn't open
The cycle times are too long

• Does Your machine have a little switch button activated by the top door? (You can hear it click as you open and close the door.). If that switch is not working, the control click can not let the machine advance to the next step in the cycle.

Replace the timer.

Must be a problem with your timer switch.

Hi David if the timer is not cycling the tub will not drain ,the washer will not complete cycles, second check the lock switch on the door. this can stop the timer and the tub from draining. when not cycling the timer is at fault , this could be two problems, 1st when everything stops check the door safety switch , 2nd listen for the timer, if it stops running. good luck ,geodaws

It's either the timer is faulty or the lid switch is broken. If it fills and agitates but dos not spin and drain it's the lid switch. If it spins and drains when manually advanced to that setting your timer is bad.

Can you manually rotate the timer control to the next steps?
Will it proceed thru the cycles when you rotate the timer manually?
If so, then you can complete the cycle manually for the time being...
If so-- then the clock motor that drives the timer.control is not advancing it.

If yours is a newer machine with all digital controls, then I suspect something wrong in that controller, too-- But I do not have any idea of how to 'advance it manually!
(The blessings of modern controllers!-- Give me the old clock motor driven drum controllers! :-) )

Sounds like what you are describing is the timer on the dial is not activating the next cycle. Timers are usually the problem when the cycles do not complete there cycle

the problem is the pumping out of the water it be something caught in the pump or the pump is faulty remove it check it out. Close Ireland,bye bye
