I was searching through my local craigslist postings last night and found a 20$ DD Kenmore with the following description:
"It was working fine then it just starts cycling the water it brings in and it goes right back out probably an easy fix I don't know I'm asking $20.00 obo"
Based off of this description I immediately thought that the drain hose is too low. On a direct drive machine what could some other possibilities be, if any? |

That sounds kind of limited to me, that's all I could think the problem is too. |

You know, I was reading that again, and now to me it sounds like maybe it is spray rinsing and he's not familiar with it? That sounds pretty stupid I know, but I cant really think of anything else. |

Now that to me almost sounds like a lid switch problem. On newer DD washers, it will not spin nor agitate if it is not engaged, it will fill though. |

Yeah.....this sounds like the familiar PermPress cycle issue most people don't figure in when installing a machine....sometimes they intall the drain hose in too far into the standpipe, for a Normal wash cycle, no real effect.....but when you go into the PP "cool down"....when a partial drain happens, and then the machine pauses and tries to refill, a siphon has been created, and one or the other can't catch up.....so it keeps filling......but gets no where.....I have gotten a few machines because of this...not a bad thing from my side of it!....
and his may have happened with this machine......runs fine, no issues, until someone uses the PP cycle...... would be interesting to find out what really happened.....keep us posted |
