Whirlpool Washing Machine AWM 8121

Feb 08, 2006 0 Replies

Hello,



I have a front loader washing machine about 3 years old ?? Model Number AWM



8121 ( 6th Sense )

Developed a problem in that it would not drain and hence no spin either, although not happening every wash it would probably be 4 out of 5 wash cycles where it wouldnt work If drained manually ( gravity) washing machine would sometimes then complete cycle



Found sons credit card or remnants of it in outlet pipe leading to filter/water pump. Have removed what i could find from filter and outlet pipe and hey presto machine has been OK until now. A week or so but in that time machine still didnt drain although it worked fine more times than not ?



Not being 100% sure if ive got all of the card i will once again remove outlet pipe and check for more remnants of card


2 Questions.


  1. If its not the card causing problem what would be or has a sensor or something been damaged ?

  2. What sort of headache am i in for if i have to dismantle bowl assembly to see if card is caught in the bowl

any info would be appreciated


Steve
