James Grimm January 08, 2019 for Model Number GLEH1642DS1 The washer will not run on all cycles/water temps. It will not run at all on cold/cold, but on warm/cold & hot/cold the delicate and light wash cycles run.
1 Answer James, you may have lost the cold water solenoid on your water valve. On the cold/cold cycles it is not calling for any hot water. On cold cycles, if there is no cold water coming through the valve, it will not fill at all. On warm and hot, you may be getting hot water without any cold adding to the water mixture. Part number for the valve is 134190200 Read More...
Tom December 08, 2017 for Model Number GLEH1642DS1 Front load washer will not go into final spin drum rotates to discharge water, but that is it; does so in both directions, but no final spin?
1 Answer Tom, You will want to check the pressure switch to make sure that it is resetting, and making sure that the pressure hose is not clogged. If this checks ok. Also check the door switch to make sure that it is showing door in the lock state as these things will cause the unit to not go into the final spin. Read More...
Mary October 29, 2017 for Model Number GLEH1642DS1 Our washer has stopped filling up on the rinse cycle. Fills up fine when first started up, then no water after that until final spin. Cycle. Everything else is in working order.
1 Answer Mary, Check and make sure there is cold water supplied at the faucet and the fill valve. Check for a hot, cold and warm water fill in the wash cycle. If all's OK suspect the cold water solenoid on the fill valve is failing and replace it. Read More...
Kurt August 03, 2016 for Model Number GLEH1642DS0 During wash, the washer does not advance to next cycle (the timer makes a strange click/stuck sound). If we advance the knob by hand (turn off, then advance) it then functions in the next cycle. It fills fine and drains unless it is stuck in previous cycle. This had been occuring in all the wash options (whites, colors, delicates) but not the short wash option, which ran through the entire wash cycle fine...that is until a few days ago when that wash option started to do the same thing as the others. The buzzer alert at end of wash sounds much longer than normal too, like it is stuck. The buzzer in this model has always been loud enough to wake the neighbors, so that's very annoying (I'd love to just disconnect it!). Do I need to replace the washer timer element? PS, the dryer in this combo unit functions normal. Thanks!
1 Answer Kurt, It does sound like this issue would be caused by a timer that is sticking and would need to replace the timer which is part number 134389700. Read More...
Bernie September 23, 2015 for Model Number Electrolux Washer Dryer Combo My washer wont move past the drain cycle. It keeps water in the tub and wont drain and the timer does not move. I removed the pump and bench tested, the pump works fine. Other cycles work fine. Does the water level switch control the drain cycle at all? Should I replace the timer next?
1 Answer Hello Bernie. You need to check the lid switch on the unit and see if it is bad and needs to be replaced on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Dan October 20, 2014 for Model Number GLEH1642DS1 My washer stopped in the middle of the cycle last night. The lock light is on and the door is locked. I tried turning the knob a bit and the machine pumped water out, but just kept pumping and then stopped and would not move on to the spin cycle. I tried restarting the cycle, and the machine filled with water and did not progress to tumbling the load. Is this the motor, or could this be a bad timer?
1 Answer Dan, In most cases when the washer will not agitate or spin, the issue will be caused by a faulty speed control board which is located in the base of the washer. The part number for the speed control is 134149220. Read More...
Barkergary September 26, 2013 for Model Number GLEH1642DS1 In the middle of a wash cycle my washing machine quit working the door lock light stay on but does not lock, Also the selection (timer) switch slips unless i move it from the outside ring. How would I check these out to see what I need to order for repair. door switch and /or door lock switch
1 Answer Hello Barkergary. Make sure the knob is not stripped out. If not, replace the timer. Also, make sure the cold water on the valve is working. If not, and the screens are clear, replace the water valve on the unit. Read More...
Jim March 12, 2013 for Model Number GLEH1642DS1 My 6 year old washer just developed a problem. It will not fill with water but instead makes a sort of humming or buzzing sound and the door lock light comes on. The drum turns fine and it will just will not fill up with water.
1 Answer Hello Jim. Check and make sure the screens on the water valve and hoses are not clogged. If not, you will need to order and replace the water valve on the unit. Read More...
Curt February 12, 2013 for Model Number GLEH1642DS Finished a load of laundry no problems with washer. With next load, nothing would happen. Washer would not start. Light to door lock does not come on. Replaced door lock and light still does not come and on washer does not start. Dryer works fine. What else could be the problem?
1 Answer Hello Curt, You will want to check the wiring for corrosion or damage. If wiring to door lock checks ok then you will need to replace control board. Read More...
Mark January 24, 2013 for Model Number Fridgidaire Stacker GLEH1642DS1 My washer suddenly stopped going through the cycles of wash. It would do what it supposed to do for a bit with wherever I set the knob and pulled out, so fill up and tumble a few times then stop. Light on indicating door is locked but nothing. If I turn the knob it would resume for a bit and stop again shortly after. I'm also fairly sure that when I put it to spin it would just spin for a long time, sometimes seeming not as fast as normal to me and I got a bit worried so turned the knob to get it to stop. I replaced the timer thinking it was the problem and also after having a technician look at it to confirm but it is still doing the same thing. Like when you'd normally hear the timer clicking through it does not. Did I get a bogus timer or is there something else I'm missing to check?
1 Answer Hello Mark, You may have a bad switch on the door or possibly a bad speed control or loose wiring. You will want to ohm out the motor. You should have between 4 and 6 ohms of resistance. If this is good then more than likely you have a bad speed control. Read More...
