Hi, We just moved into

hi gar.... sounds like your dryer vent pipe or outdoor vent is partially clogged with debris. thoroughly clean it out and it will work great once again. Joe

Is it beeping?

don't know

I ALWAYS START WITH VENTING WHEN CALLED WITH LONG DRYING TIMES BUT I HAVE SEEN WHERE ONLY HALF OF THE HEATING ELEMENT IS WORKING, WHICH IS PRETTY RARE. A NORMAL LOAD WOULD BE WHATEVER THE WASHER HAD IN IT WHICH WOULD BE LOOSLY FILLED TO THE TOP ROW OF HOLES IN THE WASHER TUB. THE ONLY OTHER QUESTION I WOULD ASK IS IF THE WASHER SEEMS TO BE SPINNING OUT PROPERLY AND IF THE CLOTHES ARE GOING INTO THE DRYER TOO WET.

Hi..I had the same problem yesterday...the maching would start when I pushed the button and then stop..I had to push the button again to get it going..My stacked set is around 8 years old.

Here's what we did..moved the washer away from the water source and unscrewed the water intake lines..there is a little screen there...took the screen out of both hot and cold lines..one screen has some debris in it..the other was almost completely blocked..we are on a well and sometimes dirt..etc..gets in the lines..

Today no problems doing the laundry..its working like new..

Hi thanks for the question. the top of the dryer comes off. revealing the screws that hold the baffles in place . re- install the baffle, and the top. thanks the appliance doc.

plug a light into the washer outlet to check for elec current at this point before anything else.

You put the detergent directly on top of the clothes.

The switches you are referring to are set-reset. These rarely have a fault. Normally the machine control board is the faulty component. How did you determine that these switches are faulty ?

The safest way to access the upper portion of the washer is to remove the dryer. Another method is to remove the "complete" washer front and the control panel. This will give you access to the top of the washer tub.

CHECK THE DOOR SWITCH TO SEE IF THE WIRE ARE CONNECT CORRECTLY. ON THE SWITCH THE WIRE FROM THE BULB SHOULD GO TO N/O IF ALL WIRES ARE CORRECT .THEN YOU NEED TO REPLACE THE DOOR SWITCH
