Model GSD3620Z02BB - The normal cycle will not engage when the knob is turned. The short cycle will engage (sound like it is working) but the soap is left in the reservoir and about 2 inches of water is left in the bottom. Thank you for your help.

If you can rotate the timer to different places and the machine agitates and spins but the timer doesn't advance on it's own, then the timer motor is not engaging the timer, may have a bad gear. Usually you have to buy a whole timer to get a new motor and gear.

Could be one of two things. The knob or the timer. Both knobs and the timer through sears parts direct are under 100 probably with shipping. If the knob that you pull out and push in does not feel sloppy when you turn it then i would guess timer is faulty.

Replace the timer.

Sounds like you need a new timer. Costs about $50 - $60. I had the same problem. The knob now turns. Hope this helps.

what you gona need is a new timer knob.

OK, Duh..... I guess there is about a 2 to 3 min. delay for the liquid soap dispenser to fill up and disperse the soap into the washer tub. After that short cycle is complete the fill cycle engages and fills at normal speed.

It sounds like it may be stuck between cycle steps.(this sometimes happens if the washer is open during a cycle)Try and run it through one full wash cycle as it is.Then check to see if the soap door will close.If not,the lack may be broken

Hello dacarle,
Welcome,

You said, I HAVE A WHIRLPOOL DRYER. TURN THE TIMER SELECT ON. THEN TURN START KNOB TO ON, THEN PRESS THE SAME KNOB IN TO START CYCLE. YOU CAN HERE THE TIMER AND SOUNDS LIKE THE CONTACT IS WORKING, BUT CYCLE WON'T START.

Please send me the model number so i can check out the problem.
Waiting your response
Huuum

I also had this problem. Support person couldn't tell me if the pump was supposed to run even when setting the control knob to 'off' (bar before (1)). After draining the pan, the control knob functioned normally. So apparently any power to the unit will run the pump when the overflow pan is filled, no matter the position of the knob.

sound like the same washing machine from hell that we have. three or four times it has overflowed from want we have been told the hose that runs from the drum to on/off pressure switch cloggeds with soap. we have tried different soap,hot water,cold,water you name it we've tried it. so now evey time we use it we have to clean it with a coat hanger by taking the front off the machine.

P.S. take the hose off top and bottom to clean it, all it takes two/three very small soap bubbles to clogged it
