Mi lavadora no exprime, empieza el ciclo. Echa agua, lava , drena el agua y no exprime, se brinca a llenado de agua otra vez.
My washer does not squeeze, the cycle begins. Pour water, wash, drain the water and do not squeeze, jump to fill with water again.

Hi, The washer can fill and drain water, the belt is ok, spin cycle doesn't work. Press the start, the motor doesn't turn. Is the lid switch problem or the motor or the drain pump? Thank you.

Hello Leo, Thank you for the question. if all other cycles are working and the appliance is washing normally but will not spin, the first part to check is the Lid Switch. We suggest testing the switch with a multi meter. You can check the wiring between the door latch and the main control board and test the latch switches and wax motor. In the J2 plug on the control, measure voltage from the black wire to ground with power on 0 volts. We hope this helps.
When starting the washer, water dispenses and discharges but the motor will not engage and the timer does not seem to change. I have checked the wire harness and all connections and they seem ok

Hello Doug, thank you for the query. According to our research, the issue is most probably with the electronic control board, part number PS6447963. It manages the washer's functions, such as filling, washing, draining, and spinning. We hope this helps!
Hello James, thank you for your question. We would recommend testing/replacing the door lock and inspecting the door strike. If these parts are working the issue could be with the electronic board. I hope this helps!

The washer fills water but won't spin at all
For model number FAFW3801LW5
Hello, Thank you for your question. If your washer fills with water but doesn't agitate, the problem is likely to be a faulty lid switch, a broken belt, or a problem with the motor. 1. Check the washing machine's spin cycle. If this works, the motor is operating and the belt is not broken. If the spin cycle doesn't work, the belt may be loose or broken. We hope this helps.

This was one of the simpliest repairs I have ever done taking less than 5 minutes to complete. On the inner door I removed the two screws that hold the plastic catch in place. I then removed the broken catch and put the new catch in place. Finally I replaced the two screws that hold the catch in place and it was done.
1. Unplug unit. 2. Unscrew 2 nuts holding top in place in rear of unit using phillips head screwdriver. 3.Slide top back and remove. 4. Open door of washer and unscrew 2 screws holding in door lock unit. 5.Pull out unit from the top and install new unit reconnecting the 3 wire connections.
remove top of machine by removing 3 screws along the top edge in the back of your machine and then sliding the top back and up. Then loosen the screws holding on the control panel enough to get to the 2 screws at the top of the door panel. Next remove bottom panel by removing 2 screws along bottom edge then pulling it free from snaps. Then along the outside lip of the bellow, just inside the door, is a wire clip that is easily removed by prying it past rubber lip with a screw driver and lifting it away. Remove the door panel by removing the 2 screws you exposed by loosening the control panel and 2 more along the bottom that were exposed when removing bottom panel. After the door panel is removed and the bellow is completely exposed, you will find that it is held in place by a circular spring which wraps the whole way around the drum opening. Again it can be removed by prying it out away from the groove in which it sits with a screw driver. Now your machine is broken down as far as it needs to be. From here you can follow the directions included in your new bellow kit and put it back together by following these instructions in reverse.
