A washer has four essential components: tub, transmission, motor, and agitator. The washer consists of a tub that holds the water and detergent to clean clothes. Transmissions are responsible for churning the washtub up and down by spinning the agitator. An electric motor washes the clothes. The washtub washer can be most easily diagnosed if the washer does not agitate or spin. A washer with either of these problems may have a bad motor, transmission, a broken belt, and a washer timer.
A washer that is not leveled correctly can cause a washer to be unbalanced and also damage the washer. The washer motor, transmission, or washtub bearings may need to be replaced if they are worn out. (Credit Information: https://www.tclmappliancerepair.ca/services/washer-repair/)
Step 1
Inspect the washtub for cracks or leaks. If the washer has an agitator, remove the washer lid or top cover to inspect the washtub for cracks or leaks. Put soapy water around the washtub and look for bubbles. There should be no evidence of any leaks when you check the washtub with soapy water.
Step 2
Turn off the power and drain all water from a washer washtub to eliminate the possibility of an electrical shock. Unplug the washer and turn off the washer’s water supply.
Check washer hoses for any kinks or signs of wear before you drain the washtub. Inspect washer hose connections to make sure they are secure and not leaking. Once the washer tub is drained, you can reconnect washer hoses.
Step 3
Check washer motor and washtub bearings by taking the washer top off with a screwdriver. Inspect both washer tub and washtub bearings for wear or damage. If washtub bearings are worn out, they need to be replaced, but if washer tub bearings have excessive wear and tear, washers may need to have washtub replaced. You can also quickly inspect the washer transmission for damage or see if the washer belt is broken by taking the washer top off.
Step 4
Check washer control for a mechanical problem and a washer timer. Suppose the washer washes immediately after you turn the washer’s timer dial to “delay start.” In that case, the washer may have a mechanical problem that requires repair or replacement of the washer’s timer. Test the washer timer by turning the dial to “delay start,” and the washer should start washing after 15-30 minutes.
Step 5
Check washer belts for wear and damage. Washer transmission turns the agitator by washer washtub pulley, and washer transmission washers the washtub by the washer tub pulley. If either washer belt is worn out or broken, the washer should be repaired or replaced. To check if washers belts are intact and not damaged on a washer with an agitator, hold agitator still and spin washtub washers the washer tub washer pulley. If washer belts are in good shape, the washer should not wobble when spinning the washtub by the washer tub pulley.
Step 6
Check the washer’s belt for wear and damage—spin washers pulleys by hand to check washer belts by following the procedure described in Step 5. If washers have a worn-out washer belt, washers may need to have washers belt replaced.
Step 7
Check for washer leaks by using soapy water. Put soapy water around the edge of the washtub and check inside the washtub for any evidence of a washer leak. If washers have a washer leak, washers may need to have washers gasket or washer seal replaced.
Step 8
Check for washer electrical problems by conducting a washer voltage test. To perform a washer voltage test, you will need an electricity tester (usually have a washer tester at home)
When the washer is plugged into the wall, press the washer ON/OFF button and hold it until the washer motor runs (about 5 seconds on some washers). Then look at the washer’s LED screen that shows the washer’s diagnostic information (if the washer has one). Check for the AC voltage listed in the washer’s diagnostic screen (usually, washer AC voltage should read 120 VAC).
Disconnect washers plug from the electrical outlet and conduct washer continuity test. Check the washer’s inner wire(s) for electrical continuity by placing the electricity tester’s “lead” on one washer wire and place the electricity tester “ring” around the washer’s outer wire. Electrical continuity between the washer’s wires indicates an open circuit in the washer.
Step 9
Check the washer’s timers to see if they are defective. If the washer has a timer problem, ask your mechanic to help you with the best solution. Based on your situation, you can choose repair or replacement procedures.
