The washer will not start or fill up with water. I have water to the washer and if i turn the knob to spin or rinse the tub will spin but all without water. thanks rr
After removing the power (easist was to shut breaker off), then replaced fuse just inside upper front left cover area by way of 2 white screws on bottom front panel. Clips secure the top into the horizontial lid panel (which you will also have to remove later if fuse keeps blowing) That worked for a coupe weeks as long as the Cycle Selector dial was always pushed in when you opened/closed the washer lid. Then the the problem returned. Only way out was to partially remove the unit from the wall and remove the lid assembly, which was much easier than first thought. Pictures attached. Tools needed are Phillips screwdriver and Nut drivers to remove the horizontial lid/panel from above the washer tub, and below the timer panel/dryer. Didn't need to remove the angled cover below dryer as Washer Door lid assembly is wholly below. Just push the dryer toward the rear, then remove two larger nuts from top left and top right corners. No nuts at rear, just clips that slide in/out. This allows lid cover to be pulled straight out (I had to remove the overflow tube on front right of tub, and one semi-rusted nut-driven screw from the Hot/Cold filler plate which is at the rear of the lid cover. That will make it easier to manipulate the cover and release the 4-pin plastic connector shown in pictures at the left rear corner. Then the entire cover/lid slides out easily as you may have to push the dryer top back to ease it out. Then flip it over and replace the switch and slide the 4 wire connector back under the plastic trip. and reverse the un-install. 4-pin connector is flat-keyed on one side, but it is tight to get to. My OEM part even included a new fuse (19.95 + shipping) Unit is now working fine for last 2 weeks.

It has to fill with water for it does anything else... make sure you have water take hose loose put in tub turn on to make sure water to washer check screens in water valve make sure not plugged... take ohm meter and check water valve make sure valve is good

Had the same thing happen. First thing was remove the timer, but did not find anything broken or wrong that I could tell. Did find the fuse for the washer door lid switch was blown. Replaced and the washer ran for a week, then the same problem happened again. Am going to use a slow blow this time (1Amp, 250V) and see.
dryer makes a noise when started
I have a very similar problem, although ours went out right after the first fill cycle and now will do nothing.
How can I check the switches (water valve and lid) before I remove them?
I had the same problem - unit started to fill and then quit; wouldn't do anything but spin. Thanks to your great advice and pictures, I changed the fuse to a slo-blow and was back finishing the wash within an hour!
Great Stuff - Thanks Again!!!
