Check your exit hose spigot, it may be clogged. This is if your filter is all clean. There should be air for passage in the standpipe behind. Your hose should not fit airtight into the standpipe and neither too deep into it. Snaking out your standpipe would be good too.

Rate me pl.....if helped.

SOURCE: Washer keeps pausing

you may have something in your drain pump. 
1) Remove the three screws in the bottom remove bottom panel.
2) Remove drain pump cover (have towels or pan to catch water that comes out)
3) Remove any debris from pump, check that the impeller is not damaged and can be moved freely.
4) reinstall drain pump cover and bottom panel
Let me know if it helps

SOURCE: GE washing macine stops during the wash cycle

This is exactly what my machine was doing, as well. I fixed it by cleaning out the filter in front of the water pump.

Searching here, I found that you can remove the lower front panel (three screws along the bottom edge is all it takes) to get to the filter. With the panel removed, you'll see a round white plastic cover (about 3-4 inches diameter) that screws out. Get a bucket under the cover to catch the water that's in it (could be 2 quarts or more) and unscrew the cover.

The cover pulls out, revealing that is actually a screw-in plastic strainer. I found tons of coins, broken pens, paper clips, etc. in mine when I did this. A lot will be deep inside the black rubber hose that connects this filter housing to the washer drum. You can rake the stuff out with a bent wire clothes hanger. Shaking the black hose will help hurry the junk along and out of your machine. Screw the cover back on after the clean out and your machine should go back to normal.

Thinking about it, front loaders will have lots of small items flushed into the pump compared to top loaders. Coins you alway found in the bottom of the drum in a top loader, they all wind up in the filter of a front loader. And once it slow the drainage to a crawl the machine will shut down multiple times when it can't drain the water out completely, and it will never step up to it's max spin speed with all that water still in the drum.

SOURCE: washing machine making loud roaring sound during spin cycle

Very likely the main bearing and drum shaft-inner tub will need replace. Not worth repairing, easily can cost more than the washer. Buy a new whirlpool front load duet, super capacity or the top load whirlpool with and agitator. Good Luck, Appliance Specialists

SMEG model, WMI-12C7 Repeat Pausing During Wash Cycle Problem...

There are several reasons why a washing machine may pause during a wash cycle. One possible reason is an unbalanced load. If the load is not distributed evenly in the drum, the machine may pause to redistribute the load and prevent damage to the drum or other components. Another possible reason is a clogged filter or drain hose, which can cause the machine to pause as it tries to drain water from the drum.

In the case of the SMEG model WMI-12C7, repeat pausing during wash cycles could be caused by a malfunctioning sensor or control board. These components are responsible for monitoring and regulating various aspects of the wash cycle, such as water level, temperature, and spin speed. If one of these components is faulty, it may cause the machine to pause or stop unexpectedly.

To resolve this problem, it is recommended to first check for any obvious issues such as an unbalanced load or clogged filter. If these do not appear to be the problem, it may be necessary to call a professional repair service to diagnose and fix any issues with the sensor or control board.

In addition, it is important to properly maintain and care for your washing machine to prevent future issues. This includes regularly cleaning the filter and drain hose, avoiding overloading the machine, and using only recommended detergents and settings.

Why does it keep pausing during cycle?

Hello friend, thank you for the post!

I understand that your Frigidaire washer, ATF6000es, keeps pausing during a cycle. Generally that means there is a disruption in the cycle. I would try resetting your appliance, unplug the power cord or flip the household circuit breaker, for ten minutes. If that does not resolve the issue it could be a problem with your control board or wiring harness within the washer. I would recommend having a technician come out to the home to diagnose and repair the appliance. Hope this is helpful. -Matt

Please, check to insure that your washer is properly grounded. If you do not know what that means, call an electrician. Modern wash machines are controlled by circuit boards that operate on low voltage and are vulnerable to static electricity. Spikes or gaps in the electrical service from your power company could also be the problem. Your electrician should be able to help you with that as well.

It keeps on pausing during the cycles, what do I do to stop that?

It sounds like your Door Switch assembly may be faulty. During the cycles, the machine thinks the door is open, so it pauses the cycle.
Can you hear the machine drain? If not, this could be a Drain Pump problem, or Drain filter problem. You will need to remove the panel to access the Drain pump at the bottom of the machine. Remove the Drain pump hoses and clear them out. Make sure your Drain pump is also clear and turns freely.
Does the machine's drum spin? If not, you may have a Motor or Motor control board problem.
