Drain pump starts and stops prior to final spin cycle

Prior to the final spin cycle on a GE top load washer. I hear the drain pump run for a couple of seconds and then stop for a little bit, then run for a couple of seconds and then stop again. When the spin cycle kicks in, because the drain pump doesn't run continuously, the tub starts spinning with water still in the tub. I'm afraid that this is putting too much strain on the spin motor. Eventually all of the water pumps out, but I'm afraid that I'm going to burn up the spin motor. During the first drain after the initial agitation, I can hear drain pump run continuously prior to filling the tub for the first rinse, but I don't hear it pumping continuously prior to the final spin. I removed the front access panel to see if there were any blockages in the sump or drain hoses, but they seemed fine. Spun the pump impeller and it spun freely and quiet. Also noticed that the drain pump is electrical and not belt driven. Could it be that the drain pump motor is overheating and shutting itself off meaning replacement of the drain pump or could it be a timer problem not keeping the drain pump running?

    Catriver,

    That's exactly what's happening. Doesn't happen all of the time, but when it does, it's a big pain. I'll get the meter on it to check voltage.

    Would you happen to know the part number for the kit? Are the harness and cap included when ordering a replacement pump or are all items sold separately?

    Thanks!

    Catriver,

    That part looks like the tub motor. The tub agitates and spins fine. I think my problem is with this part

    Same symptoms like you mentioned, but with the drain pump. The drain pump is not belt driven. Has 2 wires going to it, Red/White and Black. I put the meter on it to see if it I was still getting 120V when the drain pump stopped, but of course it didn't stop with the meter on it.

Jayron, is the motor jogging? start to spin, stop, start to spin stop. If so, your motor is jogging between the high and low start windings. The motor during spin should start on the high speed windings and stay there until most of the water is drained. GE came out with a new motor, harness and run cap because of this. If you have a meter, there should be a white and white/red wire going to the motor. If you have a steady 120V and it's doing this jogging, replace the motor with the kit...Let me know if this the issue, Catriver..post back.

Washer WPSR3100WOWW Will wash but not drain and spin... Stops at the rinse Cycle
Christina,
Does it leave water inside the tub? There are a couple of possibilitys. One could be the drain pump. If this fails the wash/rinse cycle will stop as it can sense the water not being pumped out. Can you hear the light sound of a small motot running when it goes into rinse cycle? Listen down at the very bottom far right side or far left side. If you hear the drain pump motor running is there any water discharging out the drain tube going into the wall? You should easily hear the flowing water. If not you have a few possible problems: Drain pump has an obstruction in or around it or, drain pump is actually bad.

How to reset my washer, I am having problems with the washer, it does not want to spin on the final cycle; however it does wash. what could possibly be wrong and how can I fix this?
Please remove power for a while and allow unit to drain out the residual voltage so as to reset. Now press down the start /stop buttons prior to plugging the unit. Select a different program and see the timing of the water low into the inlet and in the drain cycle. If you notice that the flow is low then clean or replace the inlet valve, check the water level controller to stop inlet flow and start wash and finally the drain and refill for rinse spin. if not there is an error in the program for the refill and must be checked on the drain and level controller.

Hi

This issue usually occurs due to kinked drain pipe, clogged drain filter or drain pump. First make sure that the drain is not clogged and remove clogs if present. If no visible lint is present then remove the lower front access panel to check the drain filter and drain pump for any clogs, you'll need to clean the drain filter and drain pump completely. Hope this helps... Please post back for any further assistance.

My wil 103 indesit wont pump out the water and the drum stops spinning quite quickly prior to spin, removed pump, guy at repairers says pump fine and it may be the board?
If you have a test meter, and feel competent to do this, then select a spin cycle, and having set the meter to mains A/C voltage, test across the 2 wires going to the pump, if you are getting a supply, then it should be reading approx 240 volts.
If no reading, then, yes it could be the board, or a broken or loose connection.
Another way to do it is to select a Drain only cycle if there is one, and you should hear the pump running.
If you can, and it is still not draining, then check the outlet hose for a possible blockage.
Please rate my solution.
Thanks.

GE top load washer wwsr3130w0ww will not drain?
If you can hear the washer move into the cycle where it drains and all other cycles work (ie spin, wash ect). Then you either have a faulty pump or a clog. A pump change is a relatively easy fix.

Washers - Resetting Electronic Controls on a Washer

If there is a pause in the washer cycle, the controls will lock up. The pause can occur because of a power failure or it was put in the test mode at the factory.

Also, if the washer was stopped before the cycle was complete or the consumer has pushed the stop/pause button to temporarily stop the cycle and the cycle is not reset. Over a period of 24 hours, the washer will pump out and spin, but will stay in the final spin.

To correct the situation, shut off the circuit breaker for 30 seconds or unplug the washer, then turn the timer knob around and back to any position other than final spin. Verify the water is turned on and restore power. This should resolve the issue.

Washer fills/agitates and stops prior to draining
If pump works fine or still pumps out water, then it is a timer malfunction. Replace the timer and you should be fine. To locate a part number for your timer, refer to www3.sears.com with the model number off your washer.
