I have just acquired a whirlpool washer 3xwtw5905swo. I am a first timer user of a washing machine. A user's manual was not included. Where can I download a User's manual. I live in Kano. My name is Dele.

According to the service manual, if the washer won't drain or spin the drain may be clogged.

it very much sounds that the moving parts the timer are worn or seize recommend new timer

My buddy Robert and me got into a couple of these washers; an older one and a newer one. I took some photos and included your manual HERE and HERE

OK, great websites for you, above is a custom repair above that is another Cabrio site, above that is a your user manual.

This assumes that you have a basic Kenmore / Whirlpool top load, direct drive, neutral drain (it doesn't spin until the pump removes most of the water) machine.

First, see the Sears parts site for your washer:

Enter your model number and you'll see a list of major sub-components with diagrams and parts.

This appears to be a timer / timer motor problem.

I'd also look at the Whirlpool / Kenmore direct drive installation and maintenance manual for testing the timer.

This should do it.

the timer has asmall motor to do that automatically so you need to chang the timer
thanks

You need a new timer. Reducing the cycle time will help the lint and not having a timer stuck on wash will help too.

does your machine have numbers or letters on the control timer, whatever they are all you have to do is remember what numbers etc were on your old machine, generally speaking they are the same for all machines more or less world wide, for example 1 is prewash, 2 is 90 deg biol wash 5 is non fast coloureds etc, obviously this is just a guide as option buttons can variate this use as a rough guide and you should be ok
