Turned on dryer & tried to start but it gave a load thud noise & wouldn't go. Stop it then re-started a light came on stating clean filter. Clean filter & look inside that area to see if something large was down in there couldn't see anything. Tried to start again would start & no noise.

Unplugging to reset only works when the washer has power and on stand by. Start by checking the fuse on the noise filter, that is were the power cord connects to. If good than your main board is bad.

Hi Heather, thank you for your question!

Generally speaking, there are several thermal fuses that may have opened if the temperature inside the unit rises too high. Typically, an open thermal fuse is a result of restricted exhaust vent. I suggest cleaning the vent and to confirmed that it is completely clear from any debris, dust, etc. Along with the thermal fuses, the heater could be in the open position. In this case, you may wish to reach out to an appliance expert who is the best equipped to pinpoint the exact problem, which can often save you funds and a headache. I hope this information helps to some degree.

make sure the door is properly closed for the switch to operate. If that doesn't work get the man back as he missed something.

Had same problem with 6cyl. merc.
Started fine cold but wouldn't start when turned off hot.
Replaced spark plugs & worn dist. cap .Problem solved.

E20 is a general error code to get to the real problem try this.. Reading ErrorCodes 1. Wake the washer by pressing any button. 2. Wait 5 seconds. 3. Press and hold

I beleive the start capacitor is faulty & it has dropped away from where it's supposed to mount inside,the capacitor is probably dangling down,hanging by it's wires & banging on the drum as it rotates.The start capasitor gives the motor it's first kick start to get goin & it's not working that's why you have to help by turning the drum.

i had same issue turned out pipe was blocked and washing machine gave up trying to get rid of water, so would stop, cleaned filter, uncloged drainig pipe and was good to go

You're getting some sort of capacitor discharge noise on your signal. There's no easy fix for that. It will have to be taken in for service.

the clank and thud may have been the bracket with the wheel on it hthat keeps the belt tight. when you shut the door and push the start button what happens?
