Wascomat w74 rapid advances through the soak cycle

It sounds like you've already tried several troubleshooting steps, but let's see if we can narrow down the issue with your Wascomat W655 commercial washer. Here are some additional things to consider:

Motor Capacitor: The motor capacitor plays a crucial role in starting the motor. If it's faulty, the motor might not engage properly. Consider checking or replacing the motor capacitor.

Motor Wiring: Inspect the wiring connections to the motor. Loose or damaged wires can prevent the motor from functioning correctly. Ensure all connections are secure and free from damage.

Motor Brushes: The motor brushes wear out over time. If they're worn down, the motor won't engage. Check the brushes and replace them if necessary.

Belt Tension: If your washer has a belt-driven motor, ensure that the belt is properly tensioned. A loose or damaged belt can cause motor issues.

Drain Pump: Although you mentioned that the drain pump seems to be working fine, it's still worth verifying. Sometimes a malfunctioning drain pump can affect other components.

Mechanical Obstructions: Inspect the drum and surrounding components for any obstructions. Something lodged in the drum or motor assembly could prevent movement.

High-Speed Spin: Since the issue occurs during the high-speed spin, focus on components related to this phase. It could be related to the motor, belt, or even the drum balance.

A professional technician could perform more advanced diagnostics.

This is a very nice commercial washer. I don't see anything in the manual (230S) that suggests it has a password. The last link is to the maker. Ask them direct.

Check drain pump for obstructions. If machine senses a no drain issue, it won’t advance any further

The timer switch is bad

yes timer gears do go out of sync and timer contactors bend or do not make contact to trigger the finish of the cycle

typically on the soak cycle it will fill with water..pause and soak then at the designated time it will advance into the regular agaitate/spin cycle

Wow.
In electric dryers with an AUTO cycle; the heater runs on 220 volts, but the timer motor runs on 110 volts. There is a resistor in the system to cut down the voltage. If the resistor is bad, you will see the same symptoms as if a thermostat was bad. The timer motor will not run in the automatic cycle. You need to make sure that you test for continuity in the resistor.
I've looked at two parts diagrams for your washer and cannot find a sensor anywhere in either, so the thermostat is what tells the timer to advance once the dryer reaches a preset temperature.
The thermostat will only tell the timer to advance if the dryer reaches the proper temperature, if you have some clogging in the vents, the dryer may never reach the proper temperature, and thus not advance on the auto cycle. but i'm sure you've probably checked that. I'm baffled. Let me know how it pans out if you can. Thanks. I'm still trying to find a wiring diagram for that model.

thanks,

Mike

If you have recently replaced the timer with a new one it's likely you need to make a wiring modification to the timer for your machine.

have they checked the thernals on the bottom of the tub
