After reading some of the other threads with similar problems, here’s what I have:
After a thunderstorm that took out our power (while the washer was in operation), the washer will no longer tumble the cloths or spin during the wash cycle. When I turn on the washer, the tub does tumble for a few seconds one way, rests, then tumbles a few seconds the other way. Water fills at various times and the pump runs to drain, but the basket does not tumble or spin.
The first time I entered the test mode and checked for errors (T02) it read E23 (Flood protection drain). I don’t know how long this error had been present, but I read that it can be triggered by an off-balanced load (and I have had many of those :o ). I cleared the code before I ran the tests.
I ran through every test cycle and received no new error codes. Every test was fine except for T10, T11, and T14 which all deal with the tub spinning.
We next tried resetting the control panel…no luck, still the same problem.
After my husband purchased a voltage/resistance meter on the way home from work, we got the following results:
Inverter test:
T10 - We received a voltage reading of 124.6 before we started the test
Once the test was running the voltage flickered between 124.4-124.7
T11 - We received a voltage reading of 124.6 also before we started the test
Once the test was running the voltage flickered between 124.3-124.6
We did not bother running T14 to check the voltage
Motor Test:
We tested for resistance at the inverter board…nothing :eek: .
we tested the sensor wiring at the control board (yellow wires) and got a reading of 115.9
Can you help us figure out what we have an issue with: control board, inverter and/or motor?
At this point my husband is about ready to throw in the towel and buy a new washer (but wants to keep the old dryer instead of getting the matched pair, an idea that I’m not at all on board with…I’m an all or nothing kind of girl and either want to fix the washer if we can or buy a matching washer and dryer!)
Here’s hoping you can help restore marital harmony!
