My washing machine starts to fill in the needed water but straight away stops after that. The wash cycle does not proceed. The agaitator does not move. Even if I change the wash cycles nothing happens. Please assist ASAP
The fact that it does not fill completely can be related to a problem with the water-level switch, that regulates the water level.
See from Repairclinic:
"This switch is
usually a diaphragm device with a small, clear tube attached between
the switch and the bottom of the washer's outer tub. As the water level
in the tub increases, the pressure on the air in the tube increases.
When the pressure reaches a certain level, it activates the switch,
shuts off the water, and signals the timer to begin the agitate cycle.
If the switch is defective, it may prematurely signal the water to shut
off. If so, you probably need to replace the water-level switch."
However, when it is only the switch the mashine usually completes the cycle, but with less water than normal.
A possibilty is that either the timer is faulty or there is a problem with the water supply.
Check that water is coming from water supply with regular pressure, and that hoses back there are not obstructed.
More likely you will have to replace the timer.
See again from Repairclinic:
"When the cycle doesn't advance, it's probably the timer or a cold-water supply problem:

ginko, the model of the washing machine is Electrolux EW1013i. It's a fromt Load Washing machine. Please help. Thanks.
Machine fills water, but doesn't run the cycles even moving the timer manually.
washer fills with water agitates for about 1 min, then adds more water agitates and it does this over and over if i move knob to spin nothing happens.
fills up with water but will not start the washing cycle
on starting the wash cycle on cold water, no water enters the washing machine at all. the machine rotates but no water enters.
fills with water but will not start the wash cycle
I washed four towels and the machine stopped at 1 hour and 19 minutes. It now keeps filling and trying to wash , never moving form the 1 hour and 19 minutes position. It won't let me change the program. It also rattles when you turn the inside of the machine
