Washing Machine doesn’t Run: Recheck if the washing machine is plugged in (receiving
electrical power). If it is plugged in and still does not work, then check the outlet with the VOM for
the voltage and the power cord (if it is damaged). If all the devices are fine, then the lid switch or
timer may have a problem. Call the appliance repair person and replace the parts if necessary.
Leakage in washing machine : The leakage might take place due to damaged hoses or loose
connections. Check the water pump in case of a leakage.
The Washing Machine doesn’t Agitate: Check the lid switch, belt, timer or bad transmission
(spin solenoid). There is a possibility that any cloth must have got wrapped around the agitator
resulting in this problem.
The Washing Machine Makes Noise: This problem might occur due to unbalanced/heavy
load. Do not stuff too many clothes in the machine. Remove some of the clothes and try again.
If the problem does not get solved, then there might be a bad transmission or the agitator might
be broken. Call the home appliances repair person to get it repaired.
