When spinning the basket hits the side walls of the unit. I looked on youtube and found worn shock absorbers the cause for other models but i don't see shock absorbers in the diagrams
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello Michael, Thank you for your question. The shock absorbers are called the suspension rod which come in a kit of four for your model under part PS11703288. We hope this helps.

Sheri - For model number WTW4800BQ0

My washer will go through the entire cycle and shut off just like it’s supposed to. Then, sometimes - not every load - it just goes back and starts itself and runs through the entire cycle all over again. What could cause this to happen? Thank you!
Chris Boyle Profile
Hi Sheri, thank you for contacting us. Based on our understanding, we would suggest checking the control board, part number PS8768789. It manages the washer's functions such as filling, washing, draining and spinning. You may need to replace it to fix the issue. We hope this solves your problem!

Shannon - For model number WTW4800BQ0

My washer isn't working properly. It will fill with water and then it just drains out. The door latch doesn't lock and it doesn't spin. If i mess with it enough it will finally start working right. But now it's just filling and then draining no spin but i can hear the motor running. Sometimes it will fill and lock but then it just sits on spin and quits running all together
Chris Boyle Profile
Hi shannon. You will probably need a replacement door latch. Thank you for your question and good luck with your repair.

Will start to spin then just stops spinning
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello Rob, thank you for writing. The lid switch assembly prevents the washer from spinning when the lid is open. If the lid switch assembly fails, the washer will not spin. To determine if the lid switch assembly is defective, use a multimeter to test the lid switch for continuity. I hope this helps.

washer wouldn't agitate
955 of 1057 people found this instruction helpful.
  • mike from Kent, WA
  • Easy
  • 15 - 30 mins
  • Screw drivers, Socket set
First pry off the cap of the agitator. Then using a socket remove the bolt that holds the plastic cup in place. Remove this cup by prying it loose from the two tabs that hold it in place. Once this cup is removed you can get to the broken cogs.
Slip the new cogs into the underside of the cup, and slide the cup back down in the a gitator housing using the slots on the side for a guide. (You may want to remove the entire agitator and assemble everything upside down, then flip it all back over to mount, so the cogs don't fall out).
Tighten the bolt, snap the cap back in place on top of the agitator and your'e done. Easy repair.

Lid Lock light blinking, machine will not start
324 of 404 people found this instruction helpful.
  • David from Los Alamos, NM
  • A Bit Difficult
  • 30 - 60 mins
  • Nutdriver, Screw drivers
A detailed Service Technician Service Manual is hidden inside the machine on the front panel. It is hidden by the bleach dispenser input. It gives a list of fault codes and instructions for calibration after repair, resetting fault codes, and a manual test mode for stepping the machine through each mode on command. The Tachometer faile d which would not let the machine come up to maximum spin speed. The tachometer is part of the solenoid actuator that shifts the transmission. It is not specifically called out in the manual. Any failure causes the lid lock light to blink which gives the appearance of a lid lock failure
