SOURCE: washing maching won't continue cycle

Check that the front door or lid interlock switches are operating. If they are not, the machine will not start. It is a very common cause of non-operation, and simply opening and closing the door will usually clear the problem if it is just intermittent sticking.

SOURCE: washer will wash but will not advance after draining wash

Very likely a dead spot in the timer, but check the lid switch (bypass it is best) to make sure it in not working intermittently. Hope this helps!

SOURCE: Admiral Capacity Plus Washer -

This is almost certainly the result of the fill sensor failing. intermittantly

Essentially, the sensor is a bellows device. A pipe is connected to the device and as water reaches the end of the pipe and advances up it, the air pressure in the pipe increases, inflating the bellows. As the bellows inflate, they press on and trip a microswitch inside the sensor and cut the power to the water inlet valve, stopping the water flowing into the machine when it reaches the correct, measured level according to the pressure in the pipe.

Take the top off the machine, if you look down the side you will see a (typically clear plastic) tube about the thickness of a pencil, connected to a circular device about the circumference of a coffee cup and about an inch to two inches thick.
This is the sensor. Problems with it may be:
It has come unclipped from where it should be mounted. The device is VERY sensitive and if it has slipped out of place, over or underfilling is common. (Reposition the sensor, hopefully you can see where it came from!)
The pipe that is connected to it has come off, so the air pressure that the sensor measures is not increasing as the machine fills (push the pile back on and all is well)
The machine has been subject to some trauma (Such as a very uneven load that has made it shake violently. The starting level of the water that is in the bottom of the pipe is now wrong and the pressure sensor is being affected. (Remove the pipe from the sensor, blow down the pile to get any water that should not be there out and then replace the pipe).

My dish washer wont fill with water

there is a float, usually at front left side inside dishwasher, that may be stuck..possibly an utility holding it up, or the fill valve is stuck. When dishwasher calls for water, it fills until this float rises to proper level and shuts the valve off at proper level. If it sticks, water will shut off at improper level.

Fill stops intermittent repeatedly.

Several of the washing machine controls are also responsible for the washing machine not draining, continuing to fill or fillng too slowly. If the washer doesn't want to drain or stop filling, the issue could be the pressure switch. When water enters the machine, water also fils a tube in the pressure reaches a certain point, it triggers a switch that will stop the machine from filling. Locate this pressure switch on your machine and look for damage. If you have a multimeter, use it to find any electrical issues. If there is no reading, the pressure switch needs to be replaced.

Problem: the cold water just dribbles out when filling the tank and it takes forever to fill the tub.no problem with the hot water flow.

If you have water pressure to the cold inlet valve and the valve's filter is clear, you probably have a failed inlet valve...Replacing the cold valve should fix the problem..Not a big or expensive job..Good luck....Nomess

MACHINE NOT EMTYING WATER , BUT NOT ON ALL WASHES. DOES ON A FEW AND THEN WILL STOP. CANNOT REMOVE FILTER TO CHECK IF BLOCKED.

"Cannot remove filter" - that's a good sign it IS blocked.
Tipping the machine on its side or back may cause debris to move, allowing you to unscrew the filter.
Alternatively, remove the pump motor from the housing (tools needed) and clear blockage.

It wont drain the water away after a wash we

sounds like your pump may be gone, or could be pipe blocked. to check pipe fill machine take outlet pipe at rear of machine and lay this into a bowl. If water flows ok then all pipes are clear. As water is coming through just put machine onto spin cycle and raise hose to see if water will then pump out.

Water leaking underneath when drying,whats the problem

Hello!
If leaks only on drying, then it might be the condensing system, maybe the fittings of the condenser on the drum got loosed. Remove the back panel and inspect after leaks on the left side where the condenser is.
