| If
the washer won't start in any of the cycles that
you try it on, follow the procedures below to
find out what part is preventing the washer from
starting.
The wall
outlet:
The first thing that you need to check, is the
voltage at the wall outlet. There should be
about 120 ac volts present at the outlet.
An easy way to check the outlet is, by
connecting a good working hair dryer on the
outlet. If the hair dryer works, then the
problem is in the washer.
If the hair dryer doesn't
either work, then the problem could be a blown
fuse, tripped circuit breaker, bad wall outlet
or a bad power cord.
The power cord:
You need to check the cord for continuity to
make sure that all the lines in the cord are
intact.
You will need to use a
multimeter to check each one of the wires in the
cord for continuity.
The timer push/pull switch:
The timer push/pull switch is the main switch in
the timer. You will need to check the contacts
in the timer, to determine if the switch closes
when it supposed to.
If the contacts fail to close
when you pull the timer knob out, the timer is
bad and you must replace the complete timer
assembly. |
