Doug - For model number WTW4816FW3

Continues to drain with or without the door closed. Lights do not light up on panel. We have tried unplugging, over night, and plugging back up. It still drains for hours
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello Doug, thank you for your question. The pressure level on the Board PS16744838 detects the water level in the washing machine and if it is faulty, the water level is no longer detected correctly, which can result in the drain pump continuing to run even after there is no water in the washing machine. We hope this helps.

Drain pump does not stop. Even when trying to start new load. It would stop sometimes when unplugged and plugged back but start again as soon as you try to select a mode. Lights on panel still work
Chris Boyle Profile
Hi Wesley, Glad to hear from you. The water level pressure hose that connects to the bottom of the washer tub applies pressure to the electronic control board letting it know how much water is in the washer. If the electronic control board is not operating correctly, the drain pump may start draining and run constantly. This may be caused by a clogged or damaged water pressure hose. To inspect the water pressure hose, disconnect the washer from the electrical outlet and remove it. Inspect the hose and the valve for any signs of cracking, wear, or damage. If it shows any of these signs, you will need a replacement water pressure hose. Also, check the drain hose to see if it is connected properly and that it is positioned correctly in the stand-pipe. If there are any clogs in it, it will need to be cleaned out or replaced. If the drain hose is fine, you may have a malfunctioning water inlet valve. If a component in the valve has failed, water will continue to flow into the washer. You will need to check the water inlet valve for continuity with multimeter to see if it is operating normally. If the water inlet valve is fine, then you will need to replace the electronic control board. We 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.

Dog ears worn down; upper agitator not moving
117 of 136 people found this instruction helpful.
  • shawn from la jolla, CA
  • Easy
  • 15 - 30 mins
  • Screw drivers, Socket set
Pulled off the dispenser. Used socket set to remove bolt. Removed entire agitator out of washer. Placed both feet on bottom of agitator and then pulled up on the upper agitator. It took some muscle due to the years of washer use. I used a flat-head screwdriver to weaken the plastic clips holding down the old bearing-driven cam. Once I got the upper agitator off, the guts were easy to pull out. Then I just re-assembled with the 3 new parts (the Cam Driven, the Dog Ears, and the Bearing-Driven Cam).
