It looks like you have a bad door switch and is the easiest and cheapest thing to fix on the washer part number 8182634 and it's around 65 dollars.open the door unplug the washer,remove the spring and pull off the rubber boot enough to get at the door switch,remove the screws pull out the switch and unplug it,put it back together,put some soap on the spring so it will go back on easier.hope this helps,also in the washer there's a tech sheet with all the codes and tells you how to run in diagnostics

Hello & Welcome to FixYa

ND error in your washer indicates no drain issue. To start with check the drain hose for any clogs and try cleaning it, then check restriction in drain pump assembly or loose wire at the pump. Please get back to me if you have any other questions.

SOURCE: I have a NFW7200TW Amana Washer. The problem is my wife said she saw a E3 error and then a nd error. I fixed the pump for the nd error but I don't know what the E3 error is. When I tried to run th

E3 Error: Machine control is attempting to drive the motor but is not seeing any tach response. Visual check shows motor is not moving. (Locked, Hall Sensor fault). Replace the hall sensor.
The "hall" sensor is an internal circuit of the motor. It "tells" the machine control board, what the motor is doing, it's similar to a tachometer on the dashboard of a car. In your case, you want to do the resistance checks on the wires of the CN9 and CN8 connectors at the main control board in the front of the washer (it's easier and more indicative). Unplug the CN9 connector from the control board(red, white and blue wires) testing the pins inside the wire harness connector: from pin#1 /blue to pin#2 /white you should read 3 ohms resistance from pin#1 blue to pin#3/red, you should read 3 ohms resistance. from pin#2/white to pin#3/red, you should read 3 ohms resaistance. That will tell us the motor windings are damaged or not. At the CN8 connector, unplug the connector from the control board and insert the meter probes into the end of the wire harness connector; pin#4/orange to all other pins in the connector should have infinite resistance. pin#3/blue to pin#1/pink should have 4.7 ohms resistance. If you have these resistances, the motor and wiring are OK and you'll need the control board. If the resistances are not within 10% of the ones listed, you'll need to check the wiring harnesses and connections from the control board to the motor, and replace the motor if all checks OK.
Here is a link to the motor.

Neptune TL locked lid light stays lit

I will give you a few things to try that are non technical and let’s see if the Control Board will let you in Service Mode. If so we will try lock and unlock the washer in Service Mode.
The Service Manual for reference. Sears Parts Direct for reference.
Let enter Service Mode;
Enter the Service Mode by pressing and holding the Enviro Plus and Spin Only keys for three seconds or the display reads “00”

Board Output Test
While in Service Mode, pressing the Delicates key will begin the Board Output Test. This test turns on a
specified output after a key press. (Pressing the Delicates key again cancels the test.) All outputs
will be turned off after five (5) minutes.

Now Press the Colors / Jeans key this should lock the Left and Right Lid Locks….. did it?

If the lid locked now press the Extra Rinse Key and this should Unlock the Left and Right Lid Locks….. did it?


Let me know and we will go from there. I’m trying to get a feel for what Control Board functionality you have……Rich

Im having trouble with my maytag neptune tl washer it wont finish the spin cycle

Please see the following Whirlpool / Maytag service manual for Neptune washers.
https://secured.whirlpool.com/Service/SrvTechAdm.nsf/2cd44500d572193285256a45004fd9d6/dc59d905140253e18525729c005765f4/$FILE/Maytag_Neptune_Washer.pdf

On page 3-1 the manual explains that if the washer shuts off during the spin cycle, the problem points to a weak spring in the door lock mechanism.

"Shuts OFF In The Middle Of The Spin Cycle:
During the spin cycle, the machine control
monitors the door lock mechanism to ensure
the door is locked. This is done through the
door lock enable switch. During "lock mode,"
the shaft of the door lock mechanism is
pressed forward by the door lock wax motor,
and the shaft presses in the button of the door
lock enable switch. If the machine control
board sees the switch OPEN during the spin
cycle, the machine control board will automatically
shut the washer OFF. This is caused
by a weak spring in the door lock wax motor.
Replace the complete door lock mechanism.

Door locked

Are you still having the issue? Try the Service Manual check for the FAV6800AW/FAV9800AW. I have pasted in from the SM. This could be an issue with the Motor Controller. With out known good replacement parts (Motor Controller & Control Board) this could be difficult issue to troubleshoot.

You can try going into Service Mode and turn on/off the water inlet valves to further isolate the issue and confirm the water inlet valves operate and fill the machine in Service Mode. In Service Mode you can also turn on the drain pump to pump out the wash tub.

Here are some links for the SM and parts look up.

The Service Manual for reference. Sears Parts Direct for reference.


Will Not Unlock
• Press off. The motor control is not responding if it
takes 4 m inutes to unlock. The motor control is
either bad or disconnected.
• Unplug and reconnect power cord. Wait 20 seconds
for machine to unlock.
• Check lid locked switch circuit. Circuit should be
closed at machine control. (See board input/output
chart)
• Check for loose electrical connections at lid lock and
at machine control board.
• Push lid closed to make sure nothing from inside is
pressing against it which may keep it from unlocking.
• Perform Motor and Motor Control Test. (see Motor
and Motor Control Test section).
• If necessary, remove clothes by disconnecting power
to washer, and open top cover with a putty knife.

The SM will show you how to raise the washer top from the base.

The signal keeps beeping constantly, how can I stop this?

If it’s a FAV6800AW or FAV9800 are there any codes in the console display? Have you tried to recycle power to the machine? If you haven’t already done so disconnect the 120VAC power plug on the machine and reconnect after 10 seconds this is a hard reset to the machine Control Board. Does it still beep when you try to start a cycle?
Lets see if we can get into the machines Service Mode.
This is from the FAV6800AW/FAV9800AW Service Manual board output test on page 16.
Enter Service mode;
Enter / Exit Service Mode
To enter Service Mode press the Enviro Plus and Spin Only keys simultaneously for three seconds or until the control beeps. The Console display will show “00”.

Access Board Output Test by pressing the Delicates key. The console display will show “ot”

The lid lock will lock and the Quick Wash LED will be lit. Will the machine allow you into Service Mode?

If not have you recent storm activity in your area and do you have surge protection on the 120VAC outlet powering the washer?

Report back and we will go from there. Rich

Guardian model #004722-0 liquid cooled generator. In manual or auto mode engine starts fine,then after about 15 seconds starter engages again while motor is running, then after about 10 sec. starter...

Hi Mike,
Your particular model generator uses the output of the generator to decide if the engine is running or not. You need to look at wires S15 and S16 at the control board to see if you're getting 120VAC while the generator is running. A quick simple test is to just see if there is output at the power wires that go to the transfer switch from the generator. The thing you don't say that ought to be happening is that the control board should crank the engine 3 times with a 15 sec or so pause in between crank attempts, then it should shut down and light up the "fault" lamp and quit.
Bottom line is that if you're getting 240 VAC across the output at the breaker, you've probably got a bad controller or wiring to it broken, otherwise you've got some kind of excitation problem keeping you from making electricity.

Regards,
Carl
