There is a problem in the balance control switches:

Tub Displacement Switch
The tub displacement switch is located on the
upper right hand side of the outer tub, below
the top concrete weight, between the outer
tub and the cabinet. The switch senses the
outer tub touching the cabinet side as the
machine passes through critical. When this
switch is tripped, the machine stops and redistributes
the load.

Testing the Tub Displacement Switch:
1 . Disconnect power to the unit.
2 . Place ohm meter leads across the two terminals
of the switch. Depress the button
on the switch. If the contacts open, the
switch is good. If not, replace the switch.

Strut Displacement Switch
The strut displacement switch is clipped to the
top of the left rear strut. The switch senses
the outer tub bottoming out on the strut as
the machine accelerates above 90 rpm. This
is caused by the twisting motion of the outer
tub. This additional switch is required because
the twisting motion may not trip the outer tub
displacement switch. The primary cause for
activation would be an unbalance at the front
and rear of the spinner on opposite sides.
The strut displacement switch is wired in series
with the tub displacement switch and
causes the same type of redistribution.

Testing the Strut Displacement Switch:
1 . Disconnect power to the unit.
2 . Place ohm meter leads across the two terminals
of the switch. Depress the button
on the switch. If the contacts close, the
switch is good. If not, replace the switch.


You might be able to unstick the switches by removing power from the unit and just pushing the wash tob in differnet directions. Up/down, side to side and diagonally in opposing planes. Then repower the unit and try it again. Usually though it ends up being a failed switch.

Hi,
I can suggest few things here. First what sounds here is that your pump may be going bad. If at any time the pump gets hung up the belt will slip around pulley. Check the pulley wheel makes sure it’s not worn out. Try removing belt inspect. Then replace belt with a new belt for starters. Take the belt off and see if there is enough of play at the sideways on pulley. Your problem is going to be either in the spring tension on belt or the Trans it’s self. You can remove the pump then run machine. If it still is spinning slowly then you know that it is not binding on the pump. If the tension spring is stretched out then the only way to know is replace spring. Let us know if you are looking for something more else accept the suggestion.
