Why does my washing machine pour water during the spin cycle?
文本:
== Overview ==
My washing machine has an issue where it pours water during the spin cycle, while it is draining. Basically, it pours water from the top while draining it out from the bottom. It drains the water faster than it can pour it, so it does not actually fill with water, but it does re-wet the clothes, so the clothes are dripping wet when the cycle is complete.
It also agitates while filling with water. This is not much of a problem, but it started happening the same time that the other issue above started happening.
== Specs ==
Model: Kenmore Elite 26964503
== Desired Outcome ==
This is what the washing machine is supposed to do:
# Wash Cycle
## Fill with water.
## When full, begin agitating.
## After a while, drain water.
# Rinse Cycle
## Fill with water.
## When full, begin agitating.
## After a while, drain water.
# Spin Cycle
## Spin while draining water.
## When empty, continue spinning and draining.
## After a while, stop.
== Actual Outcome ==
This is what the washing machine actually does (the bold text marks the differences):
# Wash Cycle
## Fill with water '''while agitating.'''
## When full, '''continue''' agitating.
## After a while, drain water.
# Rinse Cycle
## Fill with water '''while agitating.'''
## When full, '''continue''' agitating.
## After a while, drain water.
# Spin Cycle
## Spin while draining water.
## When empty, continue spinning and draining '''but also begin pouring water from top.'''
## After a while, stop.
== Summary ==
The main problem is 3-2: in the spin cycle, the machine begins to pour water after it has drained all of the water. It is not supposed to be pouring water at this point; it defeats the purpose of the spin cycle.
What could this be? What would cause it to pour water during the spin cycle?
