Hi. I''m assuming you are referring to a WD1000.
To initiate the drain cycle: Rotate far right knob CLOCKWISE to Position 4. It may take 30-45 seconds to recognize the knob's new position, but then it will begin an 11 minute Slow Tumble/Pump Out cycle. During this cycle you'll see the internal drum slowly rotate CW for 60 seconds, pause, then rotate CCW for 5 secs - then repeat. All this time the pump will run and you'll hear water running down the drain. When you hear no more water you can rotate same knob to "straight up", and stop the machine. To turn power off, press the rightmost button.
Check and see if you wired it correctly. This is odd though. The timer actually engages the current and creates a continuous circuit until cycle is finished. There may be a physical obstruction keeping the knob in place. Check all this out and if still no luck , let me know and we will dig deeper.
Start a cycle and remove the knob. If it still stays in agitation mode and won't advance to the spin, then you have a bad timer, or no power to the timer motor(very unlikely). If your washer goes through the cycles with the knob off then you have a bad timer knob. I have seen stripped knobs causing the timer to bind up and not advance. Good Luck Appliance Specialists
It could be that the knob came off and someone pushed it back on in the wrong location. Knobs are keyed so they should only go on one way, but since most knobs are plastic and can get messed up fairly easily, you might want to pull the knob off and see if that is the issue.
You might need to get a new knob if yours has gotten a broken socket where it slips onto the control shaft.
To deactivate the demo mode: Turn cycle knob to last cycle on right. Press start to save cycle position. Press cancel to turn machine off. Within 10 seconds, wake unit by pressing start once, immediately press and hold cancel and right most key under the display together for a minimum 6 seconds. “DEMO MODE” will no longer be shown in the display.
The timer is bad. It is located behind the knobs and can be replaced really easily. The price for a new timer is about 35 dollars. If this helped please rate
Diagnostic Test:
The diagnostic test is performed by using the Program Knob. To START THE TEST:
• On non-digital display models, turn the Program Knob to start position, Drain/Spin.
• On digital display models, turn the Program Knob to start position, Touch Up. (NOTE: If the model has a timer dial that
can be rotated 360°, turn the Program Knob to start position, Drain/Spin.
• Press Pause Cancel to turn off LEDs.
• Within 5 seconds, press and hold the Option and Pause Cancel buttons until LEDs start sequentially chasing, then
release buttons.
Maybe. Will the unit restart in the same position or do you have to move it? If it will work in the same position and all you're doing is waiting for a bit of cooldown...it could be a defective high limit switch that is resetting. If it will restart only after you move the timer, then change out the timer. This is a bit of a mystery since timers generally don't have 'dead spots'...they are designed differently than that.
