Washing Machine

[CookieRV]

My 2nd worse fear, the washing machine stopped working. Did first load as normal, 2nd load it won't perform. lights on, hit start button, the flashing light never stopped flashing. Whirlpool

Maybe try resetting power. Drop the circuit breaker, wait a bit, turn the breaker back on.

X2 same thing happened to ours. After resetting power, hold the start button for 3 seconds then wait, it may a minute or more to start.

Unlock the door (takes time but wait for it to unlock) the open and slam the door. This happens to my wife sometimes and she has to do that.

Good luck

In our previous classic Aspire we eventually had to have a tech replace the circult board for the lock mechanism on the washer door. No problems after that.

Bob, are you at nirvc's new facility?

I've seen a lot of tips and tricks that have worked for others, but I don't think I've seen this one:

Our Whirlpool washer worked fine for about the first 6-months from new then got to where it would only start some of the time - often taking as many as 5-6+ restart attempts per load. 80+% of the time it would go thru the start cycle and get to the point the "Door Locked" and "Draining" lights would go out then at about the time the water should come on the "Wash" light would come on blinking - the cycle would never start and the "Wash" light would continue to blink until we turned the knob to off, slammed the door, and tried the start cycle again.

For unknown reasons (religious, karma, alcohol, ?) one day we tried the following and it's worked for us every time for the last 6-7 months (knocking on every piece of wood in this coach...).

Knob set to "Off" and all lights off, load clothes, add soap, change wash settings as needed, close door normally (don't slam), push and hold "Start" until the green start light comes on, apply simultaneous firm presses on the door with the heel of your palms at 11-12 o'clock and 5-6 o'clock until the "Door Locked" and "Draining" red lights come on. Walk away, sit down, and sip beverage of choice. A few seconds after the "Door Locked" and "Draining" lights go out, the water will start and the cycle proceeds as it should. In addition, we always turn the knob to "Off" after each wash cycle.

Don't ask me why... ???

We're just waiting for the final CO. Todd was hoping for at least a temporary one by last Friday so he could start moving everything from their Lilburn facility to the new one in Lawrenceville, but it wasn't in by mid-afternoon. I believe the final fire Marshall one is what they're waiting for, because all the doors and windows are there and the place seems to be 99% done. We're going to have to pay for another month where we are, I'm afraid, and will move over as soon as Todd lets us know the all clear has been sounded. It's quite superior to the one in TX, having been built for a specific purpose, rather than converted from for what a former occupant used the complex. Can't wait.

Bob, the one in Texas was built from the ground up. The one in Lawrenceville is larger and may appear more impressive, but they were both built from the ground up for the same purpose, to store 300 motor homes, have an outstanding concierge service and customer service second to none.

I'm sure you're aware of NIRVC's grand opening December 8-10. I'm sure it'll be outstanding, as have been their previous events.

Thanks everyone..a combo of all your suggestions got it working again. Thanks!

Really? I thought Brett had told me otherwise. Must be mistaken.

One thing they don't tell you in the owners manual is how to clear the drain filter on these washers. There is a panel along the front bottom that snaps in and out. I usually pry it off with a butter knife. Once you get it off there is a twist knob located to the right. Unscrew it and remove. Lint, coins, and god knows what else collects there. Be sure to have rags ready when you do this because there is about a pint of water that will leak out. More if it is clogged. Also make sure the is no blockage inside the pipe to the left inside the filter area. Coins collect there.
If this filter gets too clogged, it will restrict the drainage and eventually show an "A10" fault code. I clean it about once a month and no longer have issues.

Somehow the conversation probably confused the one in Texas with their present one in Lilburn Ga., that was converted from a previous user.

[Aussies]

Yes, the Lilburn location was a former Harley dealership, I believe.
