Carbon brushes have to be replaced

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
This sounds like a hot AND cold fill washer? If so ->

If you have checked that the hot and cold water taps are turned on fully and the hoses are not kinked or squashed at the back, it is worth while checking both the hot and cold water inlet filters. Turn the taps off and remove both hoses at the washer end. Inside each inlet port there is normally a little filter which should just slide out. Clean if necessary and replace each one and the hoses. If after turning the taps back on there is no improvement, the problem is symptomatic of a malfunctioning hot or cold water control valve. Sorry but it needs a service call and a check that it isn't the control PCB ;-0(

If this has assisted you please consider a 4 thumbs up for the rating.
Thanks and good luck,
John C

I WOULD SAAY YOUR HEATER ELEMENT IS FAULTY

If you are blowing fuses or tripping the breaker in the color and delicate cycle but not the whites, you have a short in the timer. Here is a link to the replacement part you will need.

Sounds like a bad timer motor.
Try watching the timer motor and see if you can see it moving .

sounds like the pump and belt need replacement / pls leave feedback mm

Hi,
Make sure washer is unplugged before beginning repair.
Remove the agitator from inside the washer by loosening rubber nubs with a screwdriver.
Then loosen bolt underneath agitator cap with a socket wrench.
Check clutch assembly area for wear and tear. They can be found in the upper portion of the agitator assembly.
If the dogs (which turn the clutch) are in bad shape, try replacing with a dog kit.
Put agitator back on and test
If its spins out on the next load you do, you're good to go. It could be one these more complex issues: Bad Wiring harness, Bad Motor, Bad Transmission, Bad Motor Coupling.
Thank You for using Fixya.com

if the motor is not getting power are you sure you properly checked your lid switch? when you close the lid slowly do you hear a click sound?

The usual "screeching noise" in these washers is most often from the pump. Tilt the machine up so you can get the belt off (no tools required) and then turn all three of the pulleys. The center pulley is the transmission, the movable one is the motor and the last one is the pump. You will probably be able to feel or hear the noise and take appropriate actions. Good luck. AJ

It sounds like it may be the lid switch. It may be as simple as adjusting or tightening. But ultimately it may need replacement.. Hope this helps

Sounds like there is an obstruction striking or rubbing against the impeller in the drain pump assy. It will require removing the front cover/ Drive belt from the bottom of unit/ Hoses from drain pump (be prepared for the water) a 3/8" socket to remove the pump & a needlenose plier to remove the obstruction... Hope this helps....Bill

http://www.pcappliancerepair.com/model-display.php I don't see any filters at this site for your machine. You could take the pump apart to check it for obstructions. See if you can push the inner drum aside so you can check for anything in the bottom of the outer drum that is not getting pumped out.

http://www.pcappliancerepair.com/model-display.php Check the motor pivot spring, too. It holds the belt tight. Check this site for parts and help.

http://www.pcappliancerepair.com/model-display.php From what I see, your machine has a drive belt. Check it for damage or see if it has anything on it making it slip. Check the pulleys to make sure they are not worn out.

It sounds like you need a door switch you must remove the cabnet off the unit.You can get the part by contacting whirlpoolparts.com for parts near you hope i helped :)

The top of the washer lifts up like a car hood after two clips between the top and the front panel are pushed with a putty knife. Once the top is flipped open, the screws that hold the front panel in place at the top can be removed and the panel lifted off. The belt may be bad or something may be stopping the belt like a bad pump. Or the transmission drive pulley and bearing may be going bad. If the bearings above the transmission drive pulley fail the brake will not release correctly in the spin cycle causing weak, slow or no spin. The belt & pulley system can be accessed by tipping the washer back. The belt is routed around all three pulleys under the washer and is fairly loose until the motor starts. It is the torque of the motor that gives the belt tension. Leaking or loud "jet engine" sound in spin indicates a bad main tub seal at the outer tub which has caused the spin bearing to fail. This is a complicated repair as the inner and outer tubs need to be removed from the washer to access and replace the seal and bearing components.
