Spin cycle stops short or not at all of complete cycle shows ol on display pamel
For model number WTW8240YW0

Hello John and thank you for writing. It certainly sounds like it could be faulty basket hubs PS11723155, you should check for signs of damage, and replace if necessary. OL stands for “Overload”, so in other words, the washer thinks the tub is too hard to move because it's overloaded and the motor is struggling or the unit is way out of balance causing the washer to struggle. Defective basket hubs can cause this error code. We hope this helps. Please contact us anytime if you require further assistance.

Washer leaks whenever we attempt to use the 'clean washer with a fresh' cycle. It does not leak otherwise. Is there a reason this would be the case? Tia
For model number WTW8240YW0
PartSelect logo
Hello and thank you for writing. The clean washer cycle uses a higher water level which would explain why this only happens in this cycle. This could also possibly indicate a malfunctioning rotary sensor PS11749664, you should check for signs of damage, and replace the parts as necessary. We hope this helps. Please contact us anytime if you require further assistance.

The washing machine will wash clothes, drain water, but not spin on any cycle. What part is causing this issue? Thanking you in advance, Sharon
For model number WTW8240YW0
PartSelect logo
Hi Sharon, Thank you for reaching out. This could be caused by a faulty Lid Lock Assembly. The Lid Lock prevents the drum from spinning for safety reasons when the Lid is open. If the Lock is faulty it can not tell the controls it is safe to spin. We hope this solves your problem!

My fabric softener depended seems to be stop up, how do I clean it out
For model number WTW8240YW0
PartSelect logo
Hi Robert. Rinse the dispenser under hot water, working some of the fabric softener free with your fingers. Set the dispenser in a bucket add water and and laundry soap, allow the dispenser to soak for 10 mins. Rinse the dispenser under warm water, wiping gently with a soft cloth. Wipe it gently with a soft cloth if the softener does not rinse away on its own. Dry the dispenser with a fresh cloth, then put it back into position in the washing machine. Thank you for your question and good luck with your repair.

The washer was making a horrible noise during the spin cycle
Removed a cap in the center of the tub basket which has a bolt that needs removed I believe it's a 9/16 after I removed the bolt I then removed the center of the bottom of the basket assembly which then allowed me to get to the basket hub that needed replaced it was a little dirty and I couldn't get it out so I sprayed a little penitrating oil on it let it sit a little then I was able to remove the hub and install the new one then I put it all back together and the washer is working great

Over shaking and knocking on the side
Went on u tube saw different video to How disassemble the top to have access to the rod. Changing one by one those rod I was in need of my wife to hold the cover while I was changing the rod.... order for suspension rod kit. Reassemble the top by sliding the cover and to snap. Screw back the panel. And it solve the problem. My wife was really happy so me. It can be done by anybody but first go on the internet to get a idea.
