washer stops part way threw cycle when still full of water
The 5 most common part(s) or condition(s) which contribute to the symptom Washer stops mid cycle are listed below: Lid Switch Assembly If the washer stops mid cycle the lid switch assembly might be defective. This is a very common problem. The lid switch assembly can fail either mechanically or electrically. Test any electrical switches with an Ohm meter for continuity. The switches should have continuity according to their design. Door Lock Motor and Switch Assembly If the washer stops mid cycle the door lock assembly should be checked. The door lock can fail either mechanically or electrically. Test any switches on the door lock with an Ohm meter. The switches should have continuity according to their design. Water Inlet Valve If the washer stops mid cycle the water inlet valve cold water side may have failed. Most washers have a cold water rinse and so if they can’t fill with cold water they just sit indefinitely waiting for the cold water to enter. If there is cold water to the water inlet valve and the cold water works in other parts of the cycle - or to make warm water - the valve is not the problem. Main Control Board If the washer stops mid-cycle the main control board might be defective. This is not common. Check other causes first such as the lid or door switch and other components. Timer If the washer stops mid cycle the timer might be defective. This part is often misdiagnosed, check other components before replacing this timer.
Further to Mayer’s very well informed suggestions, may I add a suggestion of my own? I am not familiar with this type of machine in the UK, but if it has a motor that employs brushes, I should check that the brushes are not worn down, do not have broken or weak springs, and are not sticking in the guides. A new set of brushes can remedy a lot of obscure faults for relatively little cost.
I had this problem. The washer would stop at the rinse cycle and I found that the issue was that the extrusion that contacted the lid switch mechanically was broken at the tip. Thus, the switch was not fully depressed. I added material to the actuator and the washer resumed with the lid closed. An easy way to test this is to try and depress the switch with a screwdriver or other long tool. If it starts, then this is likely your problem.
Hi we put on washing machine and it cuts power from the main and machine tures off could you please help me beacuse my machine is new and there is nothing wet on the back of machine all dry. Thanks could you help me
Hello even time i put my washing machine on at 40 it always cut out and then the machine is flashing and have no idea why. Sarah
Great post and advice by Mayer. I live out of town and one of my tenants reported this issue with the coin-op washing machine. According to my tenant, the repair guy claims it was the water valve (assuming he meant the water inlet valve). Hopefully the repair did the trick!
My power went off for a few minutes and washing mashine was on. Now its stuck!!!!!
I am going to add a symptom: when the washer stops (50-60 min) the start light begins to flash, and when the start button is pushed again the cycle completes (another 10-15 min). This does not sound like it could be caused by the common answers.
If a machine is unable to drain/pump out at any point in a wash cycle…it will stop….check the drain-pump filter ;-)
Hi I’m using Samsung top load washing machine. Few days back it stops at 11min water intake and not rinsing it stops then power Also cut down it doesn’t it work.
