    the hum itself is coming from the rear of the unit. having problems accessing the rear of unit to pin point the origin of the hum. I found a belt on bottom under the tub however havent found the pulley the check if its broke or what

    the washer itself will not turn on, it just hums

    I would like to say this is easy to diagnose without a professional, but it is not. Depends on how and where it was dropped and damaged. These drums can easily be put off balance and damage the internal or external drum. You could also just have the drum off the pulley system. Either way, I would contact a professional to be completely safe.

SOURCE: Washer won't agitate

Just fixed the same problem. Its a broken belt. Take the front panel off and to the right of the tub you will see a pulley and belt. We replaced both the pulley and the belt for around $40. Was real easy to do yourself.

Sounds like the belt may be off. Was it moved with the shipping braces out? It may have caused some internar damage. You might check to see if the hum is coming from the door lock area. If the lock is out it won't let drain or spin.

SOURCE: washer will not start washing cycle. Machine hums like the dryer

Check the drain for clog. If the drain is dirty, the washer won't fill, rinse, or drain.

SOURCE: Frigidaire Affinity washer: Straining water pump? Humming.

more than likely the pump is clogged if you pull the the washer out away from the wall and then lean it back to get under it there is a hole to access the under side you can reach through to the pump then disconnect the large hose that goes from the tub to pump reach down inside of this hose remove the cup that has debris in it and clear it out remove the debris and reassemble the washer

I have a hotpoint wd420. the door light is flashing the wash light is on constant and the machine wont work anyone any solutions please!!

My WD 420 packed up, after watching the blogs I did:1) remove filter - found 2 quid, a thong, a pop sock, a christmas cracker toy and a load of gunge. 2) removed the motor - brushes worn to nothing - replaced them.
Washer running as new. 6 years old, 2 house moves - not bad reliability. Nearly gave up and bought a new machine!!

Will not heat up

Check power to the outlet. There could be a breaker tripped, or as I found in a recent call, the outlet was actually miswired.

Wash machine sometimes gets stuck on rinse cycle & dryer not dry

Sounds like the drain hose for the washer is too far down in the stand pipe at the wall causing a siphon effect, try raising drain hose a little. The dryer sounds like the vent line from back of dryer too wall is pinched causing an air flow obstruction. Hope this helps.

Washer won't spin

Could be a worn belt,
Empty the machine and tilt backwards, you may need some help to do this.
Remove the belt and check, some times these appear OK but may have stretched.
Chech the agitator pully, try to rotate, will only move in one direction, see agitator moving as you do, get the person helping you to see this.
Check the motor moves freely on the tensioner, motor will appear to move 2".
Fit a new belt and try.

Noisy dryer

i had same problem with washing machine. i found out it was the stone inside which holds it down while it spins. The screws or nuts or what ever is holding the stone could be loose.

Or it could be the nuts or screws of the actual drum that spins that got loose when you moved the machine

Moved Washer and Now no Electrical

Suggestion: You dont need any special outlet. With a tester (you can get this in any electric shop) see if there is power in the outlet. You said it was hot?? It is not supposed to be hot. Try another outlet; & you could unscrew your machine plug to see if all the three wires are okay, ie. well connected, screwed in.

Machine vibrates excessively during spin cycle

Open washer's cover and look for a released or a malfunction shock absorber. Good luck!
