Water pump shorted out. Now will not stop running unless washer is unplugged

Replaced pump, and wires touched causing a short somewhere. When reaching the spin cycle, the pump will not shut off, even when the power button is turned off. Must unplug washer to stop the pump. As soon as washer is plugged in, the pump starts running again.

SOURCE: Kenmore front load washer won't drain

Remove the bottom panel under the door to access the drain pump. Make sure the washer is unplugged before servicing the pump. The pump will be located under the wash tub in the front of the washer. There should be a small access cover that can be unscrewed to access the inside of the pump. If not, remove the inlet hose to access the pump impeller. HINT: Pull the drain hose from the standpipe and use a shop vac to pull a vacuum on the drain line. This will pull any remaining water out of the drain lines and wash tub. This will minimize the amount of water that spills out of the drain pump when you remove the access cover.

It does not take much to damage this small drain pumps. If you clean the pump thoroughly and it still exhibits drain problems, the manufacturer recommends replacing the pump.

If you require additional assistance, let me know before you rate the solution. I hope this helps you.

SOURCE: Won't pump out water at the end of wash or rinse cycle.

I don't know this model at all, but hada similar set of syptoms on an electrolux .....

Just a thought, but have you checked the pump chanber is not impeded by a stray hairgrip, or bit of wire?

The fact it doesn't pump when it should, but allows water to pass when the centrifugal force of a spin cycle builds up, would indicate that maybe its the pump that either has a jammed impeller, or a blown motor (or fuse).

Whirlpool refrigerator ED2FHEXNQ00 - water shoots out the front

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!
I ACCEPT NO LIABILITY FOR PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
YOU CAN BE KILLED IF YOU DON'T UNPLUG THE REFRIGERATOR!!!! EVEN AFTER UNPLUGGING IT, BE PRUDENT TO NOT TOUCH BARE WIRES OR TERMINALS.

If it is like my Kenmore, there are two solenoids at the back bottom right (facing the back) of refrigerator where the water supply connects to the refrigerator, and it sounds as if both solenoids (one for water dispenser and the other for ice maker) are energized at the same time as though the hot wires to the solenoids are shorted together. Possibly, if the replacement icemaker is not an exact replacement, a wiring difference might cause this short. ONLY IF YOU ARE QUALIFIED TO DO ELECTRICAL WORK will I suggest the following. YOU CAN BE KILLED IF YOU DON'T
UNPLUG THE REFRIGERATOR!!!! Disconnect one wire at a time by pulling and wiggling from side to side if the connectors are fastons , and with an ohm meter check for a short between the two hot wires of the solenoids. Remember where each wire goes. To determine which are the hot wires first measure each wire to a bare metal place on the refrigerator. Continuity between the wires (2) to the bare metal indicates ground. The remaining 2 wires are the hot wires. Continuity between these wires indicates they are shorted together, which is the cause of your problem. Seek out the short. Since I am not an expert myself, the preceding suggestion may not work if the short only occurs at the time that the icemaker calls for water.

How do i get to the washer pump on a 1994 toyota camry?

I don't think any Camrys that year had rain sensing wipers so you could be right. Anyway to get at the pump you have to unscrew fixings and lift up the washer reservoir to disconnect the wiring, then remove the reservoir.

1995 buick lesabre fuel pump runs constantly with loud humming sound

Run constant with the key off? As long as the wiring was not messed with, could be the relay is stuck or the contacts fused together or the oil pressure switch is defective. I would unplug the relay first. If unplugging the relay and/or the oil pressure switch don't stop it then you would have to find a fault somewhere in the wiring such as wires melted together somewhere or shorted so the fuel pump is getting power.

I have. 2000 celica gt and it keeps blowing the fuse for the running lights it don't blow it right away tho???

your wire is touching the car body somewhere and has rubbed a little.Just start following the wire from your fuse to each light. Somewhere you will easily find that where the wire is closest to the body is where you need to inspect.( Mainly a wire) laying directly on frame body is most likely your problem. It can rub just enough to break the outer coating of the wire. Still when it is found close or laying the frame body the hole can be small enough that water between the frame and wire will short the fuse.Best bet any wire touching any part on car is your target.I had a problem like yours and found that a wire was ran over frame even though it was not snug. it was enough the coating rubbed with time. That was just enough when any water got underneath the car it would sit between the wire and frame, Turn on the lights and poof the water and electric was enough to cause ground and short the fuse. On a dry day they normally worked fine unless it vibed against the frame and than metal and electric made ground for a split second and caused it to short the fuse

Windshield washer fuse blows each time you engage the washer

your windshield washer pump has shorted and will need replaced. UNLESS there is a bare wire that is touching the frame somewhere in the washer circuit. But it is most likely the washer pump.

My washer stops around the pause cycle and smells hot. The power cord is also very warm to the touch and very loose and flexible.

Your washer has a short somewhere , you must not use the set unless the shorrt is confirmed as it is highly damgerous.
Remvoe plug ands check the motor, the capacitor, the main board, if there is heating in any off these use a multimeter to check for leak or short in the units.
The power wire heating up shows a high currrent drain to the set which can result in fire if not controlled.so take care to find the shorted/failed component with the continuity test.

Maytag washer model LAT9306AAE won't come on - replaced blown fuse in machine & it blew again right away.

Fuses are there to protect from overheating and further damage to the appliance and/or wiring. A blown fuse is seldom ever the root cause of a problem... It is a symptom of a short or overload somewhere else in the circuit.

Check wiring to be sure there are no bare wires showing or shorting out against each other or the frame of the machine. Check that drive and pump motors turn freely (with power cord unplugged).

Your problem is NOT the fuse alone. Replacing it without correcting the root cause will result in yet another blown fuse.

Fuel pump relay

It sounds like there is a short somewhere. One of the wires going to your relay is touching bare metal somewhere, causing it to overheat, but not enough to make it stop working.
