My washer is showing a f32 ,f71 codes what does that mean
Sd Error Suds Detected (Stored Error Code F71)
Did you use regular detergent?
Regular or hand-washing detergents are not recommended for this washer. Use only High Efficiency ("HE") detergent.
Did you add too much detergent?
Always measure detergent. Follow detergent manufacturer's directions. If excessive suds are detected, the washer will display this code while running a suds reduction correction routine at the end of the wash cycle. The suds reduction routine removes extra suds and assures proper rinsing of your garments. If the code remains and the wash cycle dial is ?ashing after the recovery routine has stopped, re-select your desired cycle using cold water. Press START. Do not add detergent.

Remove loose change from washing machine
Depends where the loose change is? Some times it caught between the middle paddle and the basket.Tthat I just use a small flat tip screw driver and finger, trap it and lift carefully out. If the coins are underneath the basket then its more involved. First, tape the door down and lift top cap and prop up aside. Then remove tubs cap off of tub. Next inside basket in the center, remove center cap off of paddle. Then remove bolt from center. Remove paddle." This I use a screw driver small enough to fit in paddle holes, one on each side to lift equally,back and forth." You will find six phillips head screws under paddle you need to remove. This should be able to lift the basket out. Walla!! T
here's the bottom of the tub and anything lying there should be removed. If you want to really inspect it there are two 5/16th head screws that hold a protective plastic plate that should be removed and checked sense your there any ways. good luck to you and hope this helps.
Machine was overloaded and now the spin cycle will not work
hum check the belt if applicable, the door switch just in case co incidence plays out here, also may have a bad clutch or motor coupler, or worse case problem ur tranny. are u saying it still washes though? overload should not throw out ur spin cycle but can damage ur clutch and tranny? lest u have a digital electronic board on this machine and they are know to go bonkers. some machines actually have a auto fixit for overload or unbalanced issues.
Washer wont start
possibly door switch, check first! if not main board replacement, is it under warranty?
Machine is starting to show error codes, ie Dlr door lock and code #11
Do you mean F11 code? The Problem may be a communication error between the Central Control Unit (CCU) and the Motor Control Unit (MCU). You need to check the connections between them and verify that nothing is loose. I don't have a service manual for this type of front loader but if you have access to one it will give you a protocol to follow to verify which part is the most likely to be causing the failure.
Why my clothes are not clean like it used to be?
Have you changed detergent or loaded more/less clothes than before? I use liquid detergent to promote even distribution. Using HE detergent really makes a difference too. Cheap detergents don't clean near as well. Water temperature is another factor. Good Luck
