and troubleshooting.
Causes
Explanation
Agitator or Impeller Kit
If the washer won't agitate this agitator repair kit may solve
the problem. The kit contains the components that wear out
over time. This is a relatively easy repair.
Door or Lid Latch
Assembly
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.
Motor Coupling
If the washer won't agitate the motor coupling might have
failed. The motor coupling connects the motor to the
washer transmission. It is designed to fail if the washer is
overloaded in order to protect both the motor and
transmission.
Drive Belt（V-BELT）
If the washer won‘t agitate the drive belt might have worn
out. Over time the drive belt will fail just from normal use .
Replace the belt every three or five years depending on how
much the washer is used.
Motor capacitor
The assembly of electric capacitor is mainly used to start
motor and control the motor rotation direction. If the motor
capacitor is defective the washer may not work at all or
function properly.
Drive Motor
This is not common. Check all of the other related parts to
this symptom before replacing the motor. If the motor is
visibly burned out or physically damaged it will have to be
replaced.
Main Control
Board(PCB)
