How to troubleshoot a Dexter Laundry Washer that won't start?

  Mark JohnsonAug 2, 2025
  If your Dexter Laundry Washer doesn't start, begin by checking the power supply: examine the circuit breakers, voltage, power leads, and connections. Verify that the front display LED shows a dollar amount. Also, inspect the door switch for continuity when closed; adjust or replace it if there's no continuity. Check the control breaker or fuse (1.5 amp, or 2.5 amp for T-1200 models) for continuity, replacing it if necessary. Verify the voltage output from the control transformer (120VAC), replacing the transformer if the voltage is incorrect. Ensure all wire connections on the PCB board and relay PCB have secure contacts. Unplug and replug the data cable phone type connectors with the power removed. Finally, check that 120V power reaches the door solenoid when the start button is pressed.

  If the door of your Dexter Laundry Washer won't open, first check the thermoactuator and its mechanism to ensure it is not stuck or binding. Confirm that the locking thermoactuator is not receiving 120VAC during the last 1.5 minutes of the cycle and that the unlocking thermoactuator is receiving 120VAC during the last minute. If the thermoactuators do not receive voltage at the correct times, change the timer. If the timing and voltage are correct, replace the thermoactuator. Also, check that the door rod from the solenoid to the lock assembly is long enough to allow the lock assembly to disengage; adjust the rod if necessary. Lastly, check that the door lock solenoid is not stuck closed; if it is, replace it.

  If the door of your Dexter Laundry Washer doesn't lock, start by checking the display for a fault code, specifically F1, and follow the tests described in the fault code section. Next, check that the door locking solenoid is receiving 120VAC from the main relay PCB; if it is, replace the solenoid. Also, inspect the door latch switch for continuity when the door is closed; if there's no continuity, adjust or replace the door switch.

  If there's no hot water in the detergent dispenser of your Dexter Laundry Washer, check the water valve coil for continuity at the terminals and replace it if there's no continuity. Remember that 120V power is only supplied for 20 seconds during the wash bath. Inspect the water inlet screens for blockages and clean them if necessary. Ensure that the water supply is turned on and operating correctly. Finally, check the black & white P-20 wire harness.
