Whirlpool awm 1200/1

check the pump to see if anything is clogged in there or you could have a bad pump,open the door and look around the opening and you'll see the full model number.also if it stops at the rinse cycle does it fill with water and the water is in there but doesn't drain or are the clothes just sitting there wet,because when in rinse the machine just uses cold water and if the valve is clogged or filling slowly the washer will stop after like 6 minutes,does any error codes come up?you can try to start the washer just on cold water and see if the water fills slowly or if it comes in normally,if it comes in slow most likely that will be your problem,if it is the pump you can get a shop vac and suck out the water from the drain hose,get it as close to the floor as you can and it will work better,then remove the center part of the pump,the clean out and see if it's filled with stuff,turn it slowly,when water comes out vac it up with shop vac until it stops.hope this helps you out.

Water leaking from my Maytag Neptune model FAV6800AWW Serial number 15646382GA Leaks during wash cycle imediately and during complete cycle. Enough water to saturate 2-3 towels and clothes come out...

Could be a Tub Seal leak my 1st choice. Could also be a leak caused by a cracked outer tub, issues from the hoses from the drain line connections to the drain pump, drain pump and or drain line.

Are you going to try to DIY the fix?

ND error, pump runs, but sounds rough, took pump apart and found nothing in the pump or pipe.

If the motor is running but there is no water coming through, it would suggest the pump impellor blades are compromised. It's quite posible that the shaft that drives the blades has snapped. Is it possible to open the pump housing and rotate the blades manually whilst watching the motor to see if it moves? If one moves without the other, then its a new pump I'm afraid. WARNING! Do NOT attempt to do this with the motor connected to the electricity supply.

We have a maytag neptune TL. Usually when you hit start to run a load a little water comes out of the discharge hose. It is not doing that. It runs in the wash cycle for about 8 minutes the it pauses...

If the machine is a FAV6800A or FAV9800A google ""Sticky: Neptune TL Washer FAV6800AWW""" Post your problem at this Forum. You will find the FAVA9800A/FAV6800A Service Manual at that site.

Front loading washer - water is not spinning out, clothes are sopping wet

Hi- Depending on the model the drain pump filter may be clogged; sometimes the drain pump impellers get damaged as well and do not pump out the water efficiently. If it seems to be coming up to full spin speed it is likely an issue with the pump. I'd run a Rinse cycle without any clothes in it and see if all the water drains out. The washer will not got up to full spin if it senses that there is too much water in the clothes (too heavy) to prevent damage to the machine. Probably best to get a Tech to come out an look at it. Good luck.

Im my washing machine the problem , the water coming in

Check the drain line for kinks or obstructions. Check the pump. Remove the hoses from the pump and use a flashlight to look into the suction port. Look for anything clogging the pump (like the occasional stray sock) and check the pump impeller. Make sure there are no missing or broken blades on the impeller and that the impeller spins freely. If any blades are missing/broken or if you cannot get the impeller to spin freely, the pump is defective. Hopefully it's just a clogged pump, drain line, or jammed impeller. Sorry for your trouble and I hope this helped. Best wishes.

GE Washing Machine (model # GUSR2LOOT) drain problem

Check for a blockage in the water pump. If it does not drain first it does not spin. Check for power to the drain pump motor.If no pump blockage check the lid switch for continuity. No continuity, replace the lid switch.

Washing machine wont wash screen says test.

Its a draining problem.the drain pump is either got blocked so needs cleaning or the drain pump is faulty and needs replacement. --------------------------- If your washer won't drain, check these:

It spins, but doesn't pump
It doesn't spin or pump
It pumps, but the water returns
It spins, but doesn't pump If your washer spins but doesn't pump the water out, the drain line is probably clogged. In many washers, a small sock or other piece of clothing can get between the clothes tub and the outer tub that holds the water. If the clothing gets between the tubs, it may then get into the drain hose that's attached to the pump--or even into the pump itself. If it's in the pump, you need to remove the hoses from the pump and pull the item out.

To remove the sock from the outer tub port, open the washer's main access panel and remove the large-diameter rubber hose that connects the pump to the bottom of the outer tub. Then, using needle-nose pliers, try to grab and remove the clothing through the port.

Sometimes you can't remove the stuck clothing from below. Then you have to remove the agitator, top of the outer drum shield, and inner clothes tub. This isn't easy to do--and you may need special tools--so you might be happier getting a qualified appliance repair technician to do the job.

If the drain line isn't plugged, the problem may be with your pump. Even if the pump appears to be turning, the internal impeller may be broken. If so, you need to replace the pump.

It doesn't spin or pump If your washer doesn't spin or pump water out but the motor is running, your washer probably has a frozen pump pulley. If so, you need to replace the pump. To check the pulley, remove the pump from the washer and try to rotate the pulley manually. If it doesn't turn freely--if it's frozen or stiff--replace it.

It pumps, but the water returns If the water that pumps out of the machine goes back into the machine after the spin cycle, your washer may be siphoning the water from a laundry tub that has a slow drain, back into the washer. The usual remedy for this is to improve the draining of the laundry tub. (Is something stuck in the drain?) Also, check for these problems:

If the drain hose reaches more than about 4 inches into the laundry tub, cut off the excess.

If your drain hose is lower than the washer's cabinet, install an air gap/siphon break assembly.

CLOTHES ARE VERY WET AT THE END OF THE CYCLE

The pump is probably obstructed by an object. Typicial it will be a coin. You will need to gain access to the pump, which should be located on the bottom front to the machine. Remove the hoses to the pump.(Important..have a bowl or pan to catch the water that will come out of the hoses)
Turn the machine on a cycle that will turn the pump on. This will let you know if the pump is working correctly. If something is in the pump,remove the pump and remove any obstructions. Then just reverse the process to reassemble your machine. If the pump is not working thaen you will need to replace it.

I’m an owner of the machine and know it quite well. If the One-Way roller clutches in the clutch pulley hub and the upper roller clutch assembly (if your series use’s it) can be cleaned up and re-lubed you can be back in service today. See this post Clutch Fix. My roller clutches failed at the 3.5yr mark Dec 08 causing dc/UC errors for any size load. I cleaned up and re-lubed and it worked fine. I replaced the clutch to try this clutch assembly back in Feb 08 25001169 to see if it would work it does and I recommend it to all owners for your and mine FAV6800AW and the LCD flavor of this machine the FAV9800AW. The clutch will work for all series of those machines. If you have basic mechanical skills and want to save money try to clean up the roller clutches and re-lube or replace for $60. If you call in a repair service I think you will be in the $300 range to repair. I have changed my nickname from dh1200s to FAV9800AWDIY I have many postings on the clutch subject at this site and Fixitnow.com where my Clutch Fix posting has been posted for these machines.

Good Luck and post back if you need help to DIY. …. Rich

harrscot,

Thank you for the testimonial I hope you can give it a try it's a bit of tight work area but it can be done by many folks that want to roll up their sleeves and give it a try and save some $big money$. I almost junked the machine and then common sense kicked in….. $1K machine 3.5 years old. I began my education on the machine, anyone with basic skill sets can do this. I will offer to help speed up the learning process.

This machine also suffers from Left Lid Lock corrosion issues. You will see OP,OD,FA, LO error codes down the road. The DIY’er can handle these issues also. The Left Hand Lid Lock troubleshooting is for all of those error codes, here is a heads up of possible issue down the road.

Left Hand Lid Lock Troubleshooting

Also become familiar with entering into service mode and reading the diagnostic code blocks. So many posters to the FAV6800AW don’t post the machine model type or error code observed. You are on the ball. It’s a pleasure to help forum members such as you with solid info.

I forgot to post these links for you.

Wow 57 varieties we are right in sync, what are the odds?

Your machine is shutting down with those errors so your Tub Displacement Sensor is working as designed.

joepereira Good job !!! Call a DIY’er ASAP and save a BIG $. I feel bad for folks that pay out $300 to $400 for clutch a repair. I had the WD-40 and bearing grease on hand so it was hard to put a cost estimate on it. $5 maybe $10 max. If you ever have to replace the clutch as I mentioned this Clutch will work for all series FAV6800AW and FAV9800AW. Again hats off to ya. Thumbs up to ya.

I removed the lower clutch with the bearings cleaned them and greased the bearings. With the front and top covers off, I put the machine in spin mode and all seemed to work great. So I closed everything back up, replugged the machine in and started a small load in quick wash.. YAHOO IT WORKED GREAT!!! I saved a ton of cash and no one was needed to come help. Yes, its tight quarters to work in so be prepared to put something down over the lower sheet metal it might cut your arms... Joe

The DC & UC errors indicate that there is a a clutch malfunction. The machine shuts down and will do nothing while these errors exist and shows that the Tub Displacement Sensor is working as designed.

The Clutch Assembly malfunction is usually corrected by replacing the clutch assembly and there is no work around for this problem.

Call a repair man to do the work asap.
