The
Service Manual for reference.
Sears Parts Direct for reference.
I have tried to work with a few folks on this issue never received feed back to resolution see this
post.
I feel the issue is caused by one of three possible issues.
A stuck key issue/defective Spin Cycle key making constant contact forcing the Key/LED to cycle thru the Spin Cycle settings.
Under normal conditions if you press and hold the Spin Select key it will cycle thru the settings, yours has a mind of its own (defective issue).
A false signal from the Control Board for the Spin Cycle.
A corrosion path issue at the Membrane Pad ribbon cable socket connection between pins 5 and 4.
See page 20 of the SM button functionality “Spin” key.
Try to verify that the spin cycle membrane key is not stuck/defective signaling the Control Board to cycle thru the spin settings.
I have not experienced this issue but let’s try the
Membrane Pad Test to get a start point. See the Service Manual page 15, I have modified the process to make it a bit more understandable at least for me.
Make sure the two digit display is not On or Lite.Press the off button first so there is nothing displayed in the Two Digit display of your FAV6800AW.
Now Enter / Exit Service Mode
To enter Service Mode press the Enviro Plus and Spin Only keys for three seconds or until the control beeps. While in Service Mode, pressing the Presoak key will start a membrane switch check that verifies switch operation.
All the LEDs (
except Presoak ) can be toggled or slewed by pressing the key associated with the LED or set of LEDs.
Do not press the Presoak again during this test.
Press
each key once and only once including the Signal Key the
on side and the off side, also the
UP and Down Arrow key of the LED display.
All keys (including the
OFF button) must be pressed within 5 minutes for this test to pass.
“PA” will be displayed for five (5) seconds once all keys have been pressed and the test is completed (more like PA will be displayed for only a few seconds on my FAV6800AW).
Following 10 seconds of inactivity at any point, this test will exit without any display.
Let us know the results.
See my additional comment this board has message limit issues.
The washer in question is a front load washer. The wiring diagrams for the newer appliances leaves a lot to be desired.Is it possible that door lock auxilary switch could cause this problem.
Thanks Cliff Law
I was able to figure this out a couple of days ago .As it turns out it was the Door lock auxiliary switch.
Thanks
Iwas able to resolve the problem the day after submitting same to you folks.I metered out the Door lock auxiliary switch and found it was not making contact.
Thanks Cilff
