    What causes excessive vibration in Dexter Laundry Washer?
    • R
      Richard MedinaAug 28, 2025
      If your Dexter Laundry Washer experiences excessive vibration, check the strength of the mounting structure, concrete, or base, and ensure the mounting bolts are tightened. A worn drive belt or damaged pulleys can also cause vibration and noise, so inspect these components. Be sure you wash recommended load size as specified for washer model (in lb/kg). Small loads contribute to out of balance loading and increase vibration.

      If water comes into your Dexter Laundry Washer but the level does not rise, check the drain valve for blockage and the drain valve motor and gear train. If there is power but the drain valve does not close, replace the valve. Check for power to the drain valve; if there's no power, check the (brown/yellow) circuit for power. Also, check or replace the water valve diaphragms.

    Why Dexter Laundry T-950 has no hot water in detergent dispenser?
    • A
      Antonio StokesSep 18, 2025
      If there's no hot water in the detergent dispenser of your Dexter Laundry Washer, check the water valve coil for continuity at its terminals and replace it if there's no continuity. Note that 120 VAC (60 Hz) or 24 VAC (50 Hz) power is only on for 20 seconds in the wash bath. Inspect the water inlet screens for blockage and clean them if necessary. Ensure that the water supply is turned on and operating. Also, check the black & white wire harness (P-20).

    Why Dexter Laundry T-950 machine does not start?
    • C
      Chad MontgomerySep 9, 2025
      If your Dexter Laundry Washer isn't starting, several factors could be at play. Begin by examining the power supply, checking circuit breakers, voltage, power leads, and connections. Ensure the front display LED is lit. Next, verify the door switch for continuity when closed; adjust or replace if necessary. Inspect the control breaker or fuse for continuity and replace if needed. Check the control transformer's voltage output. Ensure all wire connections on the PCB board and relay PCB are secure. Also, confirm that the door lock mechanism is receiving the correct voltage after pressing the start button. Lastly, inspect the data cable phone type connectors between the PCB and VFD, ensuring they are properly plugged in after removing power.

    Why hot or cold water does not enter the tub of Dexter Laundry Washer?
    • G
      Gary RodriguezNov 28, 2025
      If hot or cold water does not enter the tub of your Dexter Laundry Washer, check to ensure that the water valve is operating. If it is not, check for 120VAC to the water valve from the Input/Output PCB. If there is 120VAC, change the water valve. If there is no voltage, check the Input/Output PCB. Also, check the water inlet screens for blockage and clean if necessary. Ensure that the water is turned on and operating. Check the pressure switch hose for holes and ensure the inlet end of the large part of the hose is lower than the rest of the hose and free of debris. The pressure switch must be in the empty position to close the circuit to the Input/Output PCB. The green Empty light #14 on the Input/Output PCB must be lighted. Check the pressure switch for continuity across terminals #31 & ...

    How to open a Dexter Laundry Washer door that will not open?
    • D
      dchavezSep 3, 2025
      If the door of your Dexter Laundry Washer won't open, check if the thermoactuator and its mechanism are stuck or binding. Ensure the locking thermoactuator is not receiving 24VAC during the last 1 1/2 minutes of the cycle and that the unlocking thermoactuator is receiving 24VAC during the last minute. If the timing and voltage are correct, replace the thermoactuator. Also, verify that the door rod from the mechanism to the lock assembly is long enough to allow the lock assembly to disengage; adjust the rod or the position of the mechanism if needed. Check that the door lock mechanism is not stuck closed; if it is, replace it.

    Why is there no cold water entering the tub in my Dexter Laundry T-950 Washer during wash?
    • F
      fortizSep 5, 2025
      If no cold water is entering the tub of your Dexter Laundry Washer during the wash cycle, start by checking the water valve coil for continuity at the terminals and replace it if necessary. Inspect the water inlet screens for any blockage and clean them if needed. Ensure that the water supply is turned on and functioning correctly. If the appropriate voltage is not present at the valve, refer to the wiring diagram for your specific washer model. Check for voltage at the P4 Connector on the Relay PCB and for LED indication that the appropriate relay is activated. Check the pressure switch continuity between terminal contacts; if there's no continuity, check the pressure switch hose for obstructions, and if the hose is clear, replace the pressure switch.
