The labels on the machine say: Ultimate care II, imperial Series, quiet wash, commercial quality, super capacity plus, 10 cycles, 3 speed motor, 6 speed combinations, porcelain basket.

LSN1000LW0

Washer recently started doing this thing where if agitates briefly then stops. The timer carries on through the cycle. It fills and spins fine. I did the unplug it technique a few times but never to could get it to agitate much longer than 30 seconds at a time in any cycle except for in the extra low agitation cycle ( Delicates)

I have spent some more time observing this machine. My washer says it has 3 motor speeds. Low, high, and extra low agitation and low and high spin are named features of this washer.

4 cycle choices on the dial 1.) normal,-(superwash, heavy, regular, light)-High&low agitation, high spin,

2.) Hand washable- intermittent agitation, low spin,

3.) Extra delicates-extra low agitation.

4.) Casual Permanent press, high& low agitation, low spin

So I Ioaded it lightly and watched it do an entire cycle on each of the 4 cycle settings without interfering.

Normal-It fills, agitates on high, pauses, agitates more, pauses (as if low agitation is skipped?). Timer continues to advance. It goes through this for the entire cycle. It then Spins. Fills for rinse and does the same routine on rinse cycle as during wash cycle. Agitate, pause, agitate, pause. So I started to think about how 3 speed motor operation might be a factor.

I switched to a cycle that says intermittent agitation.( Delicates,) And this cycle seems to work fine. ( Delicate pattern is Agitate, soak( pause) , agitate, soak.

Extra delicate cycle-extra low agitation. This cycle works fine. Yay! At least I can wash light loads on this cycle.

Ok so I'm starting to agree that the circuit that activates agitation levels is suspect.

But now there is more:

The washer tripped the breaker today in the middle of the extra delicate cycle. Pfft.

My family wants me to throw the thing away. I want to fix it.

The wash cycle runs like normal and when it's time to drain and spin, all visible water from the tub does get drained out. But when the spin cycle starts, the clothes end up in a tangled ball on one side of the tub, which causes the load to be unbalanced while spinning. I pause the machine and untangle the clothes and arrange them around the tub like normal, but when I resume the spin cycle it just happens again.

This happens no matter what size load I run. I do always make sure that the clothes are arranged evenly around the tub, avoiding the center.

Could anyone help with what could be causing this? Would it be difficult for a layman to repair?

I would try to press drain/spin and it will only drain a bit and then not spin.

I have replaced the shift actuator, splutch kit, and capacitor(even though old one was good).

After replacing the parts I have done a recalibration and the issue still persisted.

I went into Diag mode and got a code F7E1 for Basket speed. During Auto test it went through it completely fine.

In manual mode it everything seems to work except for it being on "LowSpin/HighSpin" where I get nothing. Agitation mode works fine. The windings of the motor were in spec as I was going through trouble shooting steps.

I'm currently at the point where I'm trying to check voltage on J12 / J2 connector. My multimeter isn't thin enough to backprobe the 4 pin J12 connector.

What else can I do to fix this washer?

Also when roommates use the washer it's sometimes unbalanced and clunks until we stop the cycle and rebalance the load. Tub suspension bolts seem intact by the way

Translation Spanish → English

My washing machine stops, leaks water, and doesn't finish the cycle.

I've already tried opening up the control panel and cleaning it, but nothing worked.

I'm having a hard time finding an answer to this specific scenario. My Whirlpool washer model # WTW4815EW0, about 4 years old, recently stopped spinning out clothes at the end of a wash cycle. We use both the normal cycle and bulky items, and this occurs on both. The problem began gradually, only sometimes would the washer not spin out at the end of the cycle. Now it's every time. However, the strange part is that mechanically it has no issue spinning. After it decides to quit on the wash cycle (clothes are clean and tub drained, but still sopping wet), I just set it to drain and spin and it finishes the job without problem. So I don't think it's a lid latch, a belt, or anything that would stop it from spinning ever. What do I need to do to fix this? The washer was cheap to begin with and the cost of a repair person could easily cost as much as it did new, so if it's not something I can fix on my own I'll just get a new one. Thanks for any help.

I have some updated information. I ran some manual tests and found that the washer spins on low but not on high speed. The low speed test runs without issue. During the high speed test, the motor kicks in for just a second and then immediately quits, with lid lock light flashing. I performed a tachometer test which it also seemed to fail. I checked the belt underneath which looks good. Drive test performed good. Control board has no obvious damage.
