I'm having a problem with my HE3t washer. I select a wash option and then the start button and the washer does nothing. I do not see any errors codes at all. The door opens and closes with no problems.

THe red light on the wash cycle select justs flashes. I've unplugged the washer for 5 mins thinking the washer needs to reset but still nothing. I've also cleared the drain but still the same thing.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for any help.

JimN

Hi,

Check your door switch button, its just above the door latch, sometimes that button has broken, or the door has dropped abit, not aligning correctly.

Thanks for the help Jake. Makes sense. I've looked at it and they are slightly miss aligned. The door is slighty lower but when I lift the door slightly it still does not solve the problem. Although, I've not replaced the button.

Thanks Jim

Jake, You're brilliant... It's the button. I got creative with a paper clip and tape so when the door closed the paper clip pushed the button in and the washer started.

I'll go buy a new button.

Thanks you saved me a bunch of money!

Jim

Glad to help.

Good job using that paper clip to push it in more to test it.

I am having the same issue as JimN had. I checked the door switch button and it seems to be aligned with the door properly. The latch on the door is not broken either. Any other ideas? I sure need some wash done...

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Even though it seems fine, your door latch assembly internally could be malfunctioning.

I have searched this forum thoroughly and I am sure this problem has not been addressed elsewhere.
I have Model 110.42922200. After I select a cycle and press start, the door locks. After a couple of seconds there is a click from the CCU. The door stays locked and the display remains illuminated. There is no error code. If I press and hold "Start" again, I get the same CCU click - over and over.

I checked the door alignment and everything seems fine. I also checked the Door Lock/Unlock Solenoids and Points 3 to 1 showed 120 ohms. Could that be an issue? Points 3 to 2 showed normal at 60 ohms.

I ran the diagnostic check on the machine, but I cannot get that check to advance past C:00. Again, no fault codes. I am guessing that something in the door switch is failing to signal the CCU to proceed. Any thoughts before I replace the door switch assembly.

Thanks.

Yes, I believe your on the right track, it sounds like your door latch/lock is failing.

If you order a new one from that link I posted to it above and it doesn't solve this problem, you can return it for a full refund within 30 days.

I work on these all the time. Your CCU is bad - you need a new one. If you hear the clicking in the rear top of the washer, this means the relays are bad in the CCU. The CCU has a bunch of relays ( white & black ). I hope this helps.
