If the problem with your Whirlpool
made direct drive washer is that is not filling
properly, you will need to check the following parts
until you find the part causing the problem.
Check the water faucets to make sure
that there is water coming to the washer before you
start checking it.
Many times I have gone to do a
repair and the problem was that someone turned the
water faucets off.
The water valve filters:
Shut off the water faucets and remove the two fill
hoses. Check the screen filters inside of the water
valve.
If the filters could be clean, clean them and
if they can't be cleaned, then replace them.
The water mixing valve:
You will need to check the water valve solenoids to
see if they are good or bad.
You will need to use a
multimeter to check the solenoids for continuity.
The water temperature switch:
If the water temperature switch fails
to direct the electricity to the water mixing valve
solenoids, your Whirlpool washer is not going to be
filling properly.
The water level switch:
The water level switch is in charge of directing the
electricity between the water temperature switch and
the motor.
If the water level switch fails to close the
contacts to direct the electricity to the water
temperature switch, the washer will not fill
properly or not fill at all. |
