    I had the same issue but after taking the top off discovered a broken door latch. Not being able to lock the laundry loading door prevented engaging the spin/rinse cycle

  • @Advocate2787
    @Advocate2787 Рік тому +1

    You are 100% correct. Cold water is used even on the hot cycle. It gets more minerals through water than the hot valve. Also super easy to replace if too much sediment is in the valve or the washer fills with water while it’s off.

    I tried this and it STILL GETS STUCK ON WASH! Luckily, it can drain and spin.
    We, too, use a underwater well that is not very clean and is hard water. Little bits of sand (not much tho) and tiny hairs clogs the filter to the washer. I was wondering if it's best to just pull out the filter if it is going to be constantl clogged with sandy bits? Should I just take out that filter since that slows down the flow of water?

    Make sure you get screen filters in your hose ....It sucks cause ya have to clean that out much more BUT on these new washers they will stop working and break down. Old washers you can just run it without any filter ....So in my opinion afrer 10+ years of using an old 1980 washer compared to this new piece of crap "high efficiency " thing , I am already consideing selling my fancy washer amd buying an older 35 year old one.

    Don't forget to shut off the hot or cold water hoses before unscrewing them from your washer! You may also want to have a towel in case any excess water drips out of the hose you unscrew.: )

      of course the valves should be off, we keep a cup or bucket that we put the hose in.
