Thread: kitchen aid washer

Hi Mike,

Does the motor even humm in the wash cycle?

If so, take off the pump, and then try it, something could be stuck in the pump.

If no humming, check for voltage at the motor connector.

i have taken the motor out so its sitting on the floor i have taken the pump offi hear a humm like sound but sure where its comming from

check for voltage at the motor connector how do i do this thanks for the help

thanks for the reply

The way i do it is to take off the terminal block from the motor and there should be wiring diagram in the console of the machine to look at the wires coming from the power source of the 120v from the timer, when the timer is in the wash cycle.

With the tub filled up to the small setting of the water level, that should activate the 120v from the water pressure switch to the motor terminal block.

If you dont have a 120v reading, then you may have a bad timer.

If you do have a 120v reading , it may be the motor out.

Always check for broken or fraid wires thoughout the wire harness assembly, that would cause a lose of 120v as well.

thanks for the reply well after i filled it it worked on the wash. so i put every thing back together and its working.. is it possible to over fill the washer and for it to quit working. thanks for all the help mike

Hi Mike,

I have seen if water or a obstruction gets in that pressure switch hose, it will not start agitating, then overflow.

You would then disconnect the pressure switch hose from the pressure switch and blow through it to clear out the water or obstruction in the hose.

Your Welcome Mike,

Anytime.

In order to get the case my washer I had to disconnect almost all the wires. How do you get it to run with the 110 volt plug and the timmer case removed? my washer hums but will not agitate. From this post it sounds like it could be either the pump or the coupler. How do you tell wich one?
