hi all,
newer model (< 1yr old) whirlpool washer. i bought the washer from someone who said they bought it for their son but son never used it because he moved to california before he could use it, blah, blah blah.. who knows, right?
anyways, here is the problem:
all cycles work fine, until it gets to spin cycle.
while on spin cycle,
-if i lift the lid, "motor" noise cuts off -if i close the lid to the point where the lift switch is re-engaged, the "motor" noise cuts on, however no spinning occurs. -if i have the lid up, and try to turn the basket, it will not budge -if i simply have the lid down, on spin cycle, and watch the drain hose, i can see some water pumping out vary sporadically (pulsing every
5-10seconds maybe) .. which leads me to believe faulty water pump or something clogged not allowing it to drain well? the catch is that inside the bowl i see no water. so where is all this magical water, eh?i dont have a sales receipt for the washer.. but it's less than a year old.. can i call the 800# on the lid and will they walk me through instructions and such, or are they jerks?
if you think this job of diagnosing / repairing might be over 5-10 hours of work, let me know, as i can simply toss the washer out and just put in more hours at my job and just buy a brand new washer... without these problems..
thanks all to those who help!
