Question about KitchenAid KAWS850L Top Load Washer

Spins when it feels like it

Sometimes my washer works just fine - which is why I have put up with it all of this time. Sometimes it will not spin at the end of the wash cycle. Sometimes it does. Sometimes it does not spin after the wash cycle and goes on to the rinse cycle and when the washer stops I find the fabric softener still in the depenser. I sometimes can catch the machine acting up, and if I lift and lower the lid it spins. Sometimes I have to do this more than once to get it to spin. What part is needing replacement?

Popcorn, sounds like you are having trouble with the lid switch. The plastic housing in which the screws hold the switch to the cabinet may have cracked, or came loose. If the lid switch is not making correct contact the result is no spin, no drain. The switch actuator on the lid itself may need adjustment. The lid switch is mounted to the cabinet on the back right side under the consol. The lid switch part number is 8054980. But check the actuator first. Catriver..post back.

My GE HE top load washer quit draining & spinning. I*t went through a wash cycle just fine. It drained & spun for that, but at the end of the rinse cycle it wouldn't. I even tried to put it on

WE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. ONLY OURS WOULDN'T WORK ON THE "WHITES" CYCLE BUT WOULD WORK ON THE OTHERS. BUT IT WAS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THEY WOULD ALL GO & THE REPAIRS WOULD BE $$$. YOU WILL EITHER NEED A REPAIRMAN & YOU'RE LOOKING AT A MINIMUM OF $200........IF YOU'RE LUCKY. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR & GET THE G.E. MODEL #GTWN2800DWW AT HOME DEPOT. LOOK AT IT IN THE STORE BUT BUY IT ON LINE (AS THERE MAY BE A $50 DISCOUNT). THIS WASHER IS WHAT YOU WANT. YOU WON'T BE SORRY.

Sounds like it is not rinsing properly.
If you have not already done so, then check the pump filter.
This is located at the bottom front right of basher behind drop down cover.
Unscrew anti-clockwise to remove and clean.

Stoping under process on every step from begning to ending

its very common for front load washers to have the water pump to freeze up.

ever washed something with sand or little rocks or rubber bands?

flip the washer to the side, then locate the water pump. take the filter and the hoses around the water pump. sometimes the water pump too, to make sure that the fins on the water pump are free and not stuck. put everything together and try the cycle. when the water pump is stuck it will cause the error and will not go into the spin cycle.

Wash.machine won't spin

Door lock switch # 131763245 if everything else is working fine this should fix the problem. It shorts out between the motor control board and the door lock from emptying the cycle and spinning. Try running your machine on drain/spin and see if it drains and tosses clothes and then stops with no spin. If that happens then it is your door lock.switch. Easy to replace by yourself and costs $65.00
