Question about KitchenAid KAWS700L Top Load Washer

1 Answer

Will only start water when in wash cycle

Working thru the cycles on the timer -
Does not start filling with water until it hits the agitate (wash) cycle
will not go into spin or rinse.
Buzzes only (no action from washer) in the spin cycle.

The timer would not start when pulled a couple of weeks ago but has worked fine until recently then yesterday started the above

My limited knowledge says the timer is blown.

    I cloth diapered my daughter for around 8 months before life got too hectic.

    I found that
    https://www.mothersandmore.org/diapering... than i had to wash them no less often than about every 2 days or they got pretty gross, and po*p needed removed as quickly as possible.

    Using your washing machine, do a pre-wash, hot wash, and at least one extra rinse using a small amount of detergent and no softener. I found Original Tide powder (I’m US based) to work better than a liquid. If your diapers use inserts, you may be able to dry those in a dryer, but never put any of the waterproof layers in a dryer as it will ruin that. I would sun my inserts whenever possible and then fluff them for about 10 minutes to soften them.

    If you have hard water, add approximately 1/2–3/4 cup (120–180mL) white vinegar to the rinse cycle.

    If you find they are not absorbing pe* very well or smell like ammonia, you may need to strip them, which I did by boiling with a few drops of blue Dawn dishwashing liquid, then washing with no soap, a vinegar rinse, and an extra rinse.

  • The diaper pail we suggest using is the size medium Diaper Pail with Carbon Filter, or, if you want a really big pail, the American Diaper Association approved 54 QT Diaper Pail. We sell them at Diaper Safari! They are nice and big andboth have a slot for a Citrus Circle which helps eliminate odors.
  • Try using a mild and environmentally safe detergent like: Bi-O-Kleen, Allen' Naturally or ECOS. You can also use Arm & Hammer for sensitve skin or Sensi Clean - do not use Dreft!
  • A Citrus Circle or a little baking soda some tee tree oil in the bottom of the diaper pail liner will help against odors.
  • Diaper Pail Liners can be our re-usable waterproof pail liners or standard 13-gallon kitchen trash bags.
  • Sprinkle a few drops of BacOut Stain & Odor Eliminator on the diaper if "poop" got onto the diaper itself.
  • Adding a few drops of Tee Tree oil to the main wash leaves diapers smelling fresh and kills bacteria - not for pocket diapers.
  • Sun-dried diapers and covers become snow-white. Try this as often as the weather allows.
  • Use the dryer for a few minutes to soften sun-dried diapers that get stiff.
  • Wash and dry new diapers one to five times before wearing - for unbleached diapers this will remove the natural waxes and will fluff up the cotton, which gives the diapers their absorbency. You will only need to wash the covers, Fuzzi Bunz and AIO once or twice at the most.
  • Spray any solids off with the Mini Shower - it makes makes cleaning cloth diapers very easy
  • Don't let wet and clean diapers sit in the machine overnight.
  • For serious stain you can try something like Spay and Wash.

Kenmore washer 110.16112503 works in wash & spin cycle but not rinse. After wash cycle finished I hear a humming sound and the machine does nothing until I manually start spin cycle. Broken timer?
When the cycle doesn't advance, it's probably the timer or a cold-water supply problem:
It's the timer, if your washing machine fills with water and begins agitating, but the timer never advances--or if the washer is in a spin cycle and the timer won't advance. Then you need to replace the timer.

    KAWS977EQ0 top load, direct drive washing machine. Washer fills, agitiates, and then when it is supposed to pump out and then spin the motor seems to get stuck. You can hear it hum as it attempts to spin, but it just hums and then starts to smell, slightly burnt odour. It is NOT the motor coupling, NOT the lid switch, NOT a sock in the pump. I am left with a full tub of sudsy water and clothes. Please help.
