Hi. iv got a whirlpool awm 5145/3 washing mashine. it stopped working yesterday. it is getting power to it but when u select ur program it doesnt do any thing. it doesnt start. the only program that works is the drain function! any ideas?

Also ...The selector switch allows you to choose the wash, rinse and spin settings. When you set the desired program, it sends a signal to the water inlet valve to open the hot and cold water inlets. If the selector switch is not powered or unable to transfer the signal, your washing machine won't fill with water.

Could well be the Carbon Motor brushes that are worn they last round 5 years hen need replaced..I lie under the machine to do this but you may find it simpler to remove the motor they are located at the side and are secured by two screws, parts cost around £25 per set.....

you'll need a new dipenser unit

Tip is back a hair and remove the screws and bottom panel then grab the cap

It's not a DIY fix mate you'll need a new rear tub half which are around £110

Check the lid switch. There should be a small pin on the lid that will push the lid switch down when it is closed. There are two wires going to the lid switch, jump these two wires together and if it works then replace the switch.

Unplug the washer before doing any work.

Hi.
I assume you have checked to see if the pump is working,
Select drain and spin, if water does not go away, then you have a pump problem, which will stop the programme completing.
Please leave feedback.
Thanks

FILTER MAY BE BLOCKED IRE CLOSE BYE

The filter area permanantly holds water, this is correct,suggest that you have a faulty inlet valve. Regards Engineer

Possible your hoses into the dispenser box hv a problem; plug off wall. Open the top of the machine to examine the hoses.....
