I had recently replaced my bellow due to a tear. After completion, I noticed the washer displayed an LF code. The machine tries to fill water, but after 3-5 seconds ends up tripping my electrical outlet. I'm not sure what could be wrong, either water sensor inlet is defective (it's not dirty, its super clean) so I'm not sure what to replace. Make and model of washer: Whirlpool YWFW9151YW00
Hi sMiLey Warrior, this a little unusual as it sounds like more than one fault, the LF error code means the machine has detected a problem with it filling, usually water pressure or the valve but the tripping is worrying as that is an electrical fault.
Hi Lucas, we do not advise testing appliances live due to the safety issues if you have power to the board but no light it would suggest the board has failed.
Hi Andrew, if the mains filter has failed it can cause your washing machine to blow the fuse/RCD to check look for a bulge in the casing, burn marks or liquid coming from the filter and you can also test it with a multimeter.
I have a washing machine that doesn't turn on. Changed the fuse in plug but no joy. Is there a way to test the mains filter to see if this would be the problem? Thanks for any help you can give
If the filter is faulty it would either blow fuses or no power would reach the control board. It can be checked with a meter to confirm there is continuity from the plug to the control board. The fault is more likely to be the control board if dead but if anything works at all see another video: ua-cam.com/video/QYPqpjLV7s4/v-deo.html
Hi Gregg, one of your components inside the machine is going down to earth which is blowing the trip, the cause could be the mains filter, element or even the motor and you would need to test them to determine what is causing the machine to trip.
My washing machine is the same as the one on your video mins turns it's self off after a couple of minutes on every cycle any ideas what could course this many thanks
Hi Dave, we need to establish what it was doing when it turns off, has it filled, does the drum turn, has it heated, when it turns off do you still have power, does the door open.
@@eSpares it runs as normal for a few minutes starts filling up then led screen shuts down door will open if I turn it off at the plug for 2 minutes but doesn't matter what cycle it's on it will only run for a short time before shuting down don't know if this helps I got a small shock from the back of the led board many thanks for your assistance
Hi Martin, one of your components inside the machine is going down to earth which is blowing the trip, the most likely would be the heater so start there.
@eSpares I'm having same problem where I turn on washing machine and trips the rcd on fuse box but I have a power light on washing before it trips and it is as soon as the motor tries to start? Pls help is it motor or something grounding do u think?
My becko made a pop noise today as I clicked the start button, then tripped the fuse in the house. Now it won't turn on at all, any one know a cause for this please?
The filter on your machine is under the panel at the bottom right of the machine. If coins or other debris has been in the washing they may be restricting the machine emptying so check this and watch another video: ua-cam.com/video/frEJhX9Sppw/v-deo.html
What is the name of the thing you used to take the screws at the back off?

I am getting 240v to my whirlpool dishwasher control panel but no lights, is this the same for dishwashers as well?

But how do I diagnose that this is needed in the first place?

I've got a lamona washer dryer and it will switch on but every time it go's to start a cycle it trips my electric. Any suggestions??

@@eSpares thanks for the reply.
I also recently changed the carbon brushes, do you think that could be causing any issues?
Hi Gregg, wouldn't normally cause the machine to trip and would have happened straight after replacing them so check the element and mains filter.
@@eSpares thanks again.
Do u know what mains filter I would need for a lamona washer dryer model hja8701?

My washing machine is doing the exact same thing
What might the problem be if I complete the task as is in the video, turn the machine back on and it trips straight away?
Hi Martin, one of your components inside the machine is going down to earth which is blowing the trip, the most likely would be the heater so start there.
@@eSpares thanks. Turns out the motor was the problem.
Hi Martin, thanks for letting us know and well done for sorting it.

What causes a mains filter to go bad?
Thanks
Hi Wayne, the mains filter can deteriorate over time causing it to go.
Capacitors just go bad overtime but they are rather cheap to replace.
My becko made a pop noise today as I clicked the start button, then tripped the fuse in the house. Now it won't turn on at all, any one know a cause for this please?
Hi Megan, sorry for the late reply but check the mains filter as they do go pop and can cause the machine to trip.
id use a multie meter best tool in the world
Hi Katrell, thank you for your comment and we agree a multimeter is very useful to help you diagnose faulty components.
@@eSpares How do you check if it faulty? Resistance to ground? Mine shows no resistance from ground to the rest of the plugs
Is the faulty filter indicator for a major problem?
Hi Harry, what is your model number of the appliance?.
Hotpoint Ariston - AQM9D 490 U
