Washer start does it's wash cycle after the cycle the washer empty it self but does not do the spin cycle I Wonder if it's the motor control that is détective Thank you Louis
For model number WFW97HEXL2
PartSelect logo
Hi Louis, thank you for contacting us. If your washer does not spin, there could be various reasons. The first reason could be a faulty control board, part number PS11754092. A faulty board may not be sending power to the drive motor during the spin cycle. You can check the board for continuity. Another reason could be a malfunctioning motor control board, part number PS11753928. A faulty board will not provide the adequate power needed to spin. To determine if the motor control board is defective, ensure that it is providing power to the motor. If it has power but is not providing power to the motor then replace it. We hope this is what you were looking for!

The washer kept giving a 'suds' error or an F35 error and would not progress through any of the wash cycles. It would partially fill with water, just enough to dampen some of the clothes, and then show the error message.
I removed the 3 screws toward the top of the back of the washer to remove the top. After that, I located the water pressure level switch, slid it out of the slot into which it is secured, removed the narrow black tubing from the bottom of it, and draped the newly-unattached end of the tube so that it would be easy to find. Then I removed the set of wires and discarded the old switch.

Next I attached the wires to the new switch, attached the black tubing and put the switch back into the slot. I tested the washer and it worked. Next, I put the top back on using the 3 screws. That was it!

F/H error code.
Removed the top (3-4 screws at back). Flowmeter has 2 hoses with hose clamps. Removed with plyers. Simple electrical connector removed.

Reversed procedure. Running perfect now.

How did I know it was the flow-meter? Read the service manual as possible causes to narrow it down. Disassembled old flowmeter and cleaned. That fixed for awhile. Problem came back, could 'tap' on flowmeter to temporarily fix. This convinced me that was indeed the problem.

The flowmeter is just a simple vane that moves as water flows across it, and sends pulses each time it rotates. If it 'sticks' then the computer doesn't think any water is coming in - hence the error. Tapping on it would 'unstick' long enough to confirm problem.

Washer leaking
Opened the front panel with 3 crews T-25 or socket wrench. Panel comes off right away.

Look for the leak. Determined it was the hose. Use power pliers to remove the clamp.

The small clamp was easy. The big one I had to use my yoga to get to it. It probably would had been easy from the back panel but moving the machine requires brute force.

Once the hose was out I found some bra under wires which is what probably punctured the hose.

Removed the front filter and found a bunch of nails.

Assembly was much easier and placed clamps so that if needed it would be a lot easier to remove and replace.

Pump Hose
