See if you have any error codes.

Select any three keys (except POWER). Press the keys in the sequence 1 2 3 - 1 2 3 -1 2 3

NOTE: This sequence must be completed within 8 seconds of the first key press.

These three keys are referred to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd keys, based on the order pressed. Remember the keys

Upon entry into service mode the console will beep (if available) and all console LED lights will turn on for 5 seconds.

Any error codes will be displayed in the Estimated Time Remaining display.

If there are no error codes stored, 88 will be displayed.

A momentary press of the 3rd key advances to the next error code

Press and hold the 3rd key for 5 seconds to clear the error code.

Press and hold the 1st key for 5 seconds to exit service mode.

There were no stored codes, service mode completed with no errors.

The washer is now not entering final spin on any mode.

service mode completed with no errors.

The last test after the drain pump test the drum rotates counter-clockwise and will ramp to the maximum speed. Did it?

I thought it ramped to max speed during the service test I did days prior, but clearly it isn't now.

Edit:
I redid the test on 'Normal', I don't know if that matters but it doesn't seem to be reaching max speed anymore.

Disconnect the wire harness from the MCU and check for 6Ω across pins 1-2, 1-3, and 2-3. Check for around 117Ω pins 4-5.

 

[fuzzycoon]

Are those the pins you're talking about?

 

[rickgburton]

No, that's the Central Control Unit. It's the five pin connector on the motor. The Motor Control Unit is part of the motor. You're checking the motor windings.

Your motor(MCU) part number is:
Motor-Drve WPW10315848

Getting 0 across 1,2
0, 1,3
0.890 M ohmz across 4,5

Rick has been out sick with a serious illness since Jan.12th. We are all hoping and praying for his speedy recovery!

Per the ohm readings he mentioned you to do, those readings are bad, so the problem is the motor(MCU).

I replaced the motor and now the washer enters final spin and spins dry perfectly.

Thank you

Excellent, glad to hear the new motor(MCU) fixed it.

Thanks for the update!
