There's no belt on this washer. It is a direct drive model that uses a drive coupling. The pump mounts on the opposite side of the tranny. The motor goes one direction for wash and goes the other direction for spin and pump out. You have a broken drive coupling. How hard is it to replace? Not too bad. Flip the controls up and pop the case off. Then you can access the innards. Your washer is fairly new. I have a video which shows how to access the innards but I am going to post some stills of an older style in case you PC don't play the videos. I have been there My old PC barely plays em. Yours has spring clips under each side instead of screws I believe. Simpler! But it still all comes off as shown.
The lid switch is likely the culprit. However, make certain the LH lid hinge screws are tight. If you cannot hear it click when you open and close the lid, it is bad.
Hi Thanks
for using FixYa. To start with check the lid switch as if the lid switch is bad
it won’t work. To check you’ll have to unplug the washer and then remove two
screws holding the console so that the console tilts back and then remove the
cabinet clips. After this is done unlock the lid switch block and then remove
the cabinet. Then check the lid switch for continuity if there is no continuity
then you have to replace the switch if there is continuity then check the wire
harness coming to the switch. Please do accept the solution if the issue
is resolved or post a comment for further assistance. Thanks Rylee
if it has been quite some time since you turned the knob it is possible that it is starting to sieze up, you may have to replace the switch behind the knob
It won't be easy - the necklace went through the hole so logically it should come back, unfortunately it is the nature of a necklace to be a random structure unless some tension is applied; the links or whatever are apt to go sideways and jam in the hole. In an extreme case the necklace could be knotted...
If it is knotted there is no chance of removal and the solution is either to dismantle the washer or to break the necklace.
Positioning the drum so the necklace is under tension under its own weight and with some jiggling and the application of lots of patience and some luck it should come back through the hole.
Check the Coin Mechanism:
Ensure that the coin mechanism is functioning correctly. Sometimes, coins may get stuck or not register properly. Verify that the coin slots are clear and that the mechanism is engaging properly.
If there's an issue with the coin mechanism, it could prevent the washer from starting. You might need to clean or repair it.
Inspect the Wiring:
There should be a harness with two wires that go into the coin mechanism box. Check if these wires are intact and properly connected. If you find any damage or loose connections, consider repairing or replacing the wiring.
Bypass the Coin Mechanism:
If you suspect that the coin mechanism is causing the problem, you can bypass it temporarily.
Cut the wires going into the coin mechanism and insert a push button switch in the line. This will allow you to manually start the washer without relying on the coin mechanism.
If you're unsure how to do this, consider contacting a local repair shop for assistance.
Check for Other Issues:
Inspect other components such as the lid switch, control board, and start button. Any malfunction in these parts could prevent the washer from starting.
Make sure the washer is plugged in and that there are no tripped circuit breakers or blown fuses.
The F20 error code on a Whirlpool Duet Steam Washer typically indicates a water inlet problem. It means the washer is not getting enough water to continue the wash cycle. This can be due to several reasons, even if it seems like water is flowing fine at first glance. Here are steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:
Check Water Supply Hoses:
Ensure both the hot and cold water faucets are fully open.
Inspect the water inlet hoses for kinks, bends, or twists that could restrict water flow. Straighten out any issues you find.
Turn off the water supply, disconnect the hoses from the back of the washer, and check that the filter screens inside the water inlet valve are not clogged with debris. Clean them carefully if needed.
Water Pressure:
The washer requires a certain amount of water pressure to function correctly. Low household water pressure can lead to insufficient water flow to the washer. Make sure your home's water pressure is within the washer's required range.
Check for Siphoning:
Make sure the drain hose is correctly installed. The end of the hose should not be too far down the standpipe, and there should be an air gap to prevent siphoning.
Inlet Valves:
If the water hoses and screens are clear, there might be an issue with the water inlet valves themselves. They might not be opening fully due to electrical issues or mechanical failure.
The inlet valves can be tested with a multimeter for continuity to ensure they are functioning correctly. If they lack continuity, they need to be replaced.
Flow Meter:
Some Whirlpool Duet models have a flow meter that measures the amount of water entering the washer. If this component malfunctions, it could mistakenly signal that there's not enough water, even when there is.
Diagnosing a flow meter requires some technical knowledge and a service manual for your specific model.
Pressure Switch:
The washer uses a pressure switch to monitor the water level. If there's an issue with this switch or the hose connected to it, the washer might incorrectly interpret the problem as insufficient water flow.
Check the pressure switch and the hose for any blockage, disconnection, or damage.
Reset the Washer:
Since unplugging the washer hasn't cleared the error, after checking the above, try to reset the control board by unplugging the washer for about 5 minutes, then plugging it back in.
If after trying these steps the F20 error persists, it may be time to consult the manual for more specific troubleshooting steps for your model or contact a professional appliance repair service. Sometimes, the problem could be related to the washer's electronic control board or other components that require professional diagnosis and repair.
Is the correct tension on the belt; too much and the bearing could be getting damaged.
If you remove the belt, check the drum moves freely with no noise. If noisy, replace the bearing or purchase a new machine.
Stale smells come from not drying the front gasket trough just inside the door. Your bleach isn't cleaning that area. Use Tilex Mold spray on it. Clean and dry the door glass as well and leave the door open for a few hours after a wash or leave it open all the time. If it is dry, it can't smell.There will always be some water in the pump area, but if you remove the pump filter cover, that releases and water left behind.When you use bleach always do whites or your tea towels next. You can also dilute by adding a couple of jugs of water first.There is a trick to look for rattling items between the inner and outer drum.

If the machine runs a while and then drains, it is like that there is a leak and the leak sensor has been activated. There is a tray between the base of the machine and the kitchen floor.
oL is an Overload error. Try running a cycle empty.
If oL (overloaded) appears in display, the load too large. If an overload is detected, the washer will drain any water and detergent in the washer. Remove several items and add HE detergent. Close lid and press START/PAUSE.
