Cycle selector knob wore out, washer fills, but barrel won't turn

Replacing the wash cycle selector knob on an Ariston AV 105 washing machine can be done with the following steps:

1. Turn off the washing machine and unplug it from the power source.
2. Locate the wash cycle selector knob on the control panel of the washing machine.
3. Remove the old wash cycle selector knob by pulling it straight off the control panel.
4. Inspect the knob shaft to ensure that it is not damaged or worn. If the shaft is damaged, it may need to be replaced before installing the new knob.
5. Align the new wash cycle selector knob onto the knob shaft, ensuring that it is fully seated.
6. Push the new knob firmly onto the knob shaft until it clicks into place.
7. Test the new wash cycle selector knob by turning it to different wash cycle settings to ensure that it is functioning correctly.
8. Once you are satisfied that the new knob is working properly, plug the washing machine back into the power source and turn it on.

If you do not have a replacement knob, you can contact Ariston or a local appliance parts supplier to obtain the correct part. Make sure to have the model number and serial number of your washing machine on hand when ordering a replacement knob to ensure that you receive the correct part.

Does it sound like it wants to spin? If so more than likely the motor coupler broke causing your washer to not spin. It is one of the most common parts that fail.

Anyhow Sears is the best bet for your answers they even list all the steps needed to trouble shoot.

They never talk about weight or capacity other than

Setting the Controls

Use the Suggested Fabric and Cycle Settings guide ~ Select Rinse Temperature.

to help you make the proper selections.

~ Select Wash Spin Speed.

~ Push Cycle Selector knob in and turn clockwise to

your selected wash setting. If you wish to change setting

~ Select Water Level. ~ Pull Cycle Selector knob + START out to start the washer.

SMALL: Washer is less than 1/3 full of clothes.

MEDIUM: Between 1/3 and 1/2 full.

LARGE: Between 1/2 and 2/3 full.

This washer will pretty much take anything you can throw at it. It was a competetor of the Maytag large capacity washers. As long as you follow the loading guide above you are not going to hurt it.

The cycle selector is not engaged onto the timer shaft. Need to remove the on/off knob by removing the plastic "U" clip. Remove the cycle selctor knob and check that the steel spring clip on the selector is fully seated. Re-install the cycle selector onto the timer shaft aligning the selector key with the with tthe notch on the timer shaft. Re-install the on/off knob.

The cycle selector and on/off combination is a poor design. Users press the on/off knob in and turn clockwise to set the wash cycle. If you're not gentle this action wears the teeth on the timer shaft and the user has to press harder and harder to set the wash cycle. This pressing causes the cycle selector to be pushed off the timer shaft and you can no longer operate the machine.

VERY IMPORTANT:
Stop using the on/off knob to set the wash cycle. Press on the cycle selector to set the wash cycle. Use the on/off knob only for starting or stopping the machine. Don't press or pull too hard on the on/off knob or you will wind up pushing the cycle selector off the timer shaft.

Check to see if you advance the selector knob to the spin cycle. If it does spin at this time, then you have a problem with the selector knob. If it does not then you have a problem in the motor area.

the problem is with the selector.behind this,ther is a wheel with teeth.one of the teeth must be broken,causing the selector to turn too fast.

The help that you gave me was completely wrong. The support ring was okay. I solved my problem by buying a new timer and control knobs. The teflong 'gears' were worn out so the knobs rotated freely.

I believe the selector knob on a Whirpool just has to be turned counter-clockwise with the selector pushed in. It will spin off the shaft and then the outer indicator dial will pull off. The shaft also has a keyed slot that will only allow the dial to be removed and installed one way, so there should be no question as to how it goes back on.

Was there a reason as to why you are removing the washer selector knob? If this is a simple matter of replacing a broken water temperature selector, you shouldn't have to remove any of the control knobs to gain access to the selector. The entire front panel comes off by removing the screws holding it in place. That way you can access the broken selector from behind the front panel much easier. Just remove the panel right above the washer top (under the dryer) and it should expose the front panel mounting screws. Remove these screws and the front panel comes off. Just make sure the unit is unplugged before you begin. I hope this helps you. Let me know if you need further assistance.

There could be several causes for this, but probably a bad timer. One test for this...when it stops...is to turn it off...and turn the timer slightly clockwise...to the middle of the rinse cycle...and turn it back on. Does it run then?? Try advancing it to the spin cycle after the rinse. If it runs okay after you manually advance the knob...the timer is probably defective.
