Hello George Stewart, The most OBVIOUS guess would be the cold water FEED is connected to the WRONG (hot water) side... Try reversing those hoses from the wall. Hope this helps... Deep analysis will require a make & model number. Carnac the Magnificent

Question edited for clarity and spelling.The cement is a balance weight. The leak can't be from the concrete block itself, so it must be from where the concrete block is fitted to the drum. If you can dry it thoroughly, yes you can seal around it with silicone caulking.

3.1 cu ft by actual measure as a sanity check. Consequently, I'd say that 3.2 cu ft is very likely the "official" number.

No, you buy what will fit into the space you have. Basically they are all the same size dictated by the space they fit into. https://www.google.com/search?q=whirlpool+gold+gsq9669lwL ..

Not all of them have filters. Some are under the agitator, some are in the top, some have none. https://www.google.com/search?q=whirlpool+sm8525079+washer+lint+filter Tying the search query to your model only brings up scammy sites, so I don't think you have one https://www.google.com/search?q=%22whirlpool+sm8525079%22+washer+filter ....

The easy way is to just replace the timer unit and knob for $50 to $60. There are videos that may help but it sounds like it is faulty.. https://www.google.com/search?q=Whirlpool+ThinTwin+Wash+Selection+Knob+Misaligned ..

This is the 'PQ4', if is is that one parts are readily available. The image shows a front loader, but it is a top loader in the schematic. It really depends where the rusty dirt has come from. So yes it can be fixed, but whether economically on a 17 year old machine, that's another story. Call a locally recommended appliance technician to look at it. https://www.searspartsdirect.com/model/2v7wxa8gp2-001198/whirlpool-lxr7244pq4-washer-parts?page=2 ..

limited info generic answer will need to determin if the problem is electrical circuit or mechanical[motor-gear-etc] failure

Well you have done everything that you can do and expertly tested and diagnosed. The problem is doing all the towels together. The only way to fix is mix towels with other laundry or buy a front loader because the tumbling action evens out the load better.

More likely uneven loading, or stretched shock absorber springs. Do a very small load of things like socks, undies and facecloths that will self balance.

The Water Inlet Valve is the electronic solenoid valve that lets the water in. It is hidden in the back of the machine and is electrically operated. What you are talking about sounds like something completely different.

Hello Shane, welcome to FixYa.

Based on your information posted..."control locked" mode and I do not know how to unlock it" ...this is a fairly common problem with these washers (including Whirlpool, Kitchen Aid, Maytag, Amana, (some)Kenmore to name a few built by Whirlpool) I hear about both on-line and doing on-site service.

The solution, however is usually pretty simple. As long as your washer is indeed the Whirlpool GHW9150 give this a try and let me know how it goes.

Press and hold the "END OF CYCLE /CYCLE SIGNAL" button as you count to 15...this will reset the control.

Good luck. Let me know how you make out as I said and if I can help you in any manner going forward I will do whatever I can.

Thank you for choosing FixYa. Please take a moment to rate the info provided here and a testimony on your experience here at FixYa today is appreciated.

Regards,

Macmarkus :)

Turn the breaker off

Hi in the agitator there is a part called feed dogs, that needs to be replaced.

Has he checked the drain pump for loose change or a small object causing that noise? If it is not that, possibly the drum bearing is failing.

either the lid switch needs to be replaced, or the shifter under the machine
