| If this is a top loader, my first thought is the switch that senses that the lid is closed. |
|
| Please describe the problem in more detail. What's going on inside when the problem occurs? Does the machine beep an error? What pattern of lights is on the panel? With no clothes in the machine, set it on the Regular or Heavy cycle, advance to the final spin, press Start. What happens? Check the Fault Code and test the lid switch and out-of-balance switch via this procedure: Report your findings here. |

| no lights in fault code with dadoes fault code check lid switch ok OOB switch ok spin cycle it pumps (recirclates ?) water in tub then goes to pump out / spin it doesn't, it beeps, and wash rinse and spin lights come on and remain on |

spin cycle it pumps (recirclates ?) water in tub then goes to pump out / spin it doesn't, it beeps, and wash rinse and spin lights come on and remain onThe lights that are on when it's beeping probably are a fault code. Again, you must specify exactly which cycle progress lights are on by number (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.) from left to right ... along with any other lights on the panel that may be lit or flashing. There are eight cycle lights (several for the wash phase, two for rinse, final spin). Each light has a different meaning when displaying a fault code. There shouldn't be any recirculation via the pump during spin. Recirculation occurs only at the start of a cycle, during the Eco Active wash phase (basket rotates at 25 RPM), and possibly one time for a few moments during rinse. If you are getting recirculation when the machine should be draining, then your diverter valve is probably bad. Test it via this procedure. Is there water in the machine now? It needs a few gallons to do this test. If the pump recirculates when it shouldn't or drains when it shouldn't, then the diverter valve is either broken or clogged with lint. The valve mounts under the tub near the pump. Has three hoses attached ... one coming from the pump, the drain hose, and the recirculation hose. It's not an expensive part to replace. Also, VERY IMPORTANT ... examine the pump for signs of leaking. The pump on GWL10 is part of the machine's power supply circuit to the controller board. If the pump motor windings get wet/corroded from a leak, even a small leak over time, the pump can short-out or go to high resistance and zap the controller board. |

| On my Eco-Smart, I washed a rug, and it quit spinning. I took the agitator and the tub out, but couldn't see any problems other than some rug lint and lime build-up. When it still wouldn't work after cleaning and reassembling, I took it back apart and my 11 yr. old son helped me realize the cover over the drain was removable, so we took it off, and there was a huge wad of rug pieces clogging the drain hole. After starting the machine over with no clothes, it ran through all the cycles with no problems. |
