AWN542?
Sounds like a timer issue. I heard about it on this sight, same status quo from a local repair guy. Supposedly these timers have short move increments and a lot of cycles. That's actually why I ended up getting the most basic model because I was afraid of this happening. Guess one of the contacts misses the dead line. Could be the start winding. When those aren't powered up the motor will just hum until overheating.
Let us know what up when its getting fixed. Im sorry this happened on a high reliability machine, but remember it could've been a transmission failure. Best of luck! | ||

Timers for these washers are made in Mexico and very inexpensive, e.g. we paid ~$60 for one several months ago for our AWS76 (TOL circa 2006). So apparently the bad news is also the good news. :) | ||

Broken SQ TL washer
The good thing it is under warranty, and this machine can last 25 years, but like everything man-made they do require repairs.
If your description is accurate, you either have a transmission that is locking up at times, bad motor or possibility a bad timer, hopefully the service people can fix it quickly. | ||

Thanks everyone. I love the machine, I really do. Ran a few loads this weekend just fine..then the 3rd load did it...I pushed or pulled (can't remember) just SLIGHTLY not enough to stop the cycle on the cycle knob and that engaged the agitation. | ||
