It doesn't spin in cycle. Timer goes slowly and frequently stops after 30 sec of water filling and 30 sec of nutation. No error code, however the Automatic Service Diagnostics Mode gets stuck on 7 sec. and doesn't want to lock the motor for spin? Manual Diagnostic Mode runs OK :-/

    So I checked the lid switch and it's working fine, we also emtied the washer complitely and took off the hose for the OPR pressure switch than put it back on (in case that the OPR switch was stuck in wrong position form the moving in the new house). The washer got better - filled with water all the way and mutates, but after it filled the water now it's stuck on 38min(44min normal wash) and just keeps nutating and recirculating the water :(
    Think we are one step closer to discovering the secret of longlasting Calypso washer :)
    But now what next?

    I thought about the timer,but the problem is that the cycle gets stuck before it gets to spin, it counts down maybe 3-6 min and that just gets stuck on one action. I don't know which circuit board is most likely to be responsible for that - machine or motor board?

It seems that the timer is faulty and must be checked on for loss of contact while it is in the spin mode of the cycle. It can be a mechanical failure of the connections or a possible failure of the contacts.
It will be good if you can source one timer unit to be set on for a trial swap so as to confirm before you can invest on one .... being expensive.

Hi


Thanks for using FixYa. To start with check the lid switch, you can also try to jump it to check if that is fine. If the lid switch is fine then it is the Motor Control going bad and should be replaced. Please accept the solution if the issue is resolved or post a comment for further assistance.

Thanks

Rylee

How to move around brandt wm 550
see this causes and fix it. God bless you
When the cycle doesn't advance, it's probably the timer or a cold-water supply problem: It's the timer, if your washing machine fills with water and begins agitating, but the timer never advances--or if the washer is in a spin cycle and the timer won't advance. Then you need to replace the timer. It may be a cold-water supply problem, if the washing machine fills with water, agitates, drains, and spins, but then doesn't fill with rinse water. See There's no cold water.

Doesn't spin
In top load washers, if the machine goes through the cycles and then just stops at the spin cycle and leaves you with no noise and a tub full of water more than likely the lid switch is bad and not completing the circuit for cycle to continue. This is a safety precaution to prevent injury by reaching in the machine while at high speed spin. If the machine is getting to the spin cycle and still turning slowly but not draining the water, the pump is probably the culprit, either being locked up or in most cases something like a sock, etc. is stuck in it preventing it from turning. This is usually indicated by a humming sound during the spin/drain section with no water draining.

Calypso will not advance past wash cycle. I have a Calypso GVW9959K washer that displays no error codes and will run all functions in test mode. Problem is - it will run forever in the wash mode (clock...
If the machine is filling and washing but not advancing then the timer mechanism is not fuctioning. There is no codes so all other parts must be working, likke the pressure switch. You might test the door or lid switch this can sometimes hang these up. to test simply jump across the switch with a jumper wire. Basically
  • If the washing machine fills with water and begins agitating, but the timer does not advance, the timer probably needs to be replaced
  • If the timer does not advance while the washer is in a spin cycle, the timer probably needs to be replaced
  • I am supplying the service manual for this machine. Please be careful when attempting any repair and always make sure the machine is unplugged before starting any repair. This manual include service guides for testing components as well if your capable of these tests. The link will lead you to the manual. These manuals are not easy to come by due to the fact they are meant for service personell who make a living on these so it is inclusive and should help you in you issue.

    Doesnt agitate or spin.
    Mine is 1 1/2 years old and this worked for me

    unplug from power for at least 30 seconds

    turn the dial to spin but don't pull out

    plug back in to power and open and shut completely so switch is engaged solidly 11 times in 15 seconds.

    pull out knob to turn on

    This should clear a error code.

    hope it helps!

    Spin/drain cycle won't start
    If the timer gets to the rinse cycle and stops,
    Check the lid switch for continuity. If no continuity replace the lid switch.
    If the timer continues through rinse and spin without doing either, replace the timer.

    Whirlpool Washer will not progress to the rince cycle.
    that is either a problem with the timer , or with the cold water hose at the back of the machine, see the following:
