3946448 or WP3946448 are the numbers I see for the timer on your washer. A timer may or may not fix your no spin issue. Once the washer drains if running as intended the timer pauses the motor to engage spin. I’ve seen timers that skip this pause and that is a timer issue. Many direct drives have problems with the neutral drain assembly that is inside the gearcase. These washers will go directly into spin while draining. This is hard on the clutch but I have known many of these washers to operate in this condition for many years. That’s a good looking washer hopefully you can keep it going.

The last character (engineering revision) of the model is a number 0 (zero), not letter O. Adding to what Melvin/RepairGuy advises, I find parts diagrams for LSC8244BN0 reference the (original) timer as 3361178. 3946448 (which is renumbered as WP3946448) is the current substitution/replacement for 3361178. Has the original timer already been replaced on a previous repair, thus the current one is labeled with the substitution number? 3361181 timer is for LSC8245BN0. It's NLA with no substitution referenced. LSC8245 has more buttons (8) on the panel (apparently for separate High and Low agitate and spin speed selections with four temp choices?) and an end-of-cycle buzzer. LSC8244 apparently has (6) buttons for four temp choices and Extra Rinse On/Off, no buzzer. The timers are different between the two models to provide for the buzzer and agitation/spin speed buttons instead of speeds programmed into the timer cycles. Which do you have? |
