Drum not moving

Model WFL2872 drum not turning.
It was working until I opened up the front to to remove a coin from the area of the heating element. It was an easy task but, while I don't think I damaged anything, it failed to work properly when I turned it on. I tried it on a short wash cycle but all it did was fill with water... I emptied it using the drain setting. I then tried it on spin: the machine buzzes and clicks now and then but the drum does not move. Please help!

Either a broken drive belt or a failed transmission.

Motor plug faulty. Remove and check for burnt wires.

There is a water pressure switch that operates when the required water fills in the tub. this pressure switch in your machine is possibly faulty. In ur case the water keeps filling then it detects an error and stops that's when the lights start flashing. the pressure switch fails to detect the amount of water in the drum and so the machine doesn't move on to the next cycle

hi..
This is a faulty water valve assembly. replace asap if possible. the embedded water pressure sensor is damaged.

You will need to call Fisher Paykel so they may direct you to a local technician. the water valve assembly will need to be replaced at this point.

TRY TURNING THE DRUM BY HAND IF IT DOES NOT MOVE YOU PROBABLY HAVE A BAD MOTOR IF IT MOVES VERY EASILY YOU HAVE A BROKEN BELT. IF IT MOVES WITH SOME RESISTANCE TRY CHECKING THE VOLTAGE AT THE MOTOR IT BE A BAD WIRE

Hi, this motor has faulty windings, causing it to lock up and not rotate the drum/basket. replace this motor asap if possible.

If the machine pumps water inside but does not start :

Start checking the lid switch, if this is stuck the machine wont start.

If the drum does not move at all, the motor, the motor control unit, the motor coupler, the control board may be faulty.

For more details , see: It doesn't spin

For more details you need to observe if machine is draining and pumping water inside during cycle, see: It doesn't spin
