Washer recently started doing this thing where if agitates briefly then stops. The timer carries on through the cycle. It fills and spins fine. I did the unplug it technique a few times but never to could get it to agitate much longer than 30 seconds at a time in any cycle except for in the extra low agitation cycle ( Delicates)

I have spent some more time observing this machine. My washer says it has 3 motor speeds. Low, high, and extra low agitation and low and high spin are named features of this washer.

4 cycle choices on the dial 1.) normal,-(superwash, heavy, regular, light)-High&low agitation, high spin,

2.) Hand washable- intermittent agitation, low spin,

3.) Extra delicates-extra low agitation.

4.) Casual Permanent press, high& low agitation, low spin

So I Ioaded it lightly and watched it do an entire cycle on each of the 4 cycle settings without interfering.

Normal-It fills, agitates on high, pauses, agitates more, pauses (as if low agitation is skipped?). Timer continues to advance. It goes through this for the entire cycle. It then Spins. Fills for rinse and does the same routine on rinse cycle as during wash cycle. Agitate, pause, agitate, pause. So I started to think about how 3 speed motor operation might be a factor.

I switched to a cycle that says intermittent agitation.( Delicates,) And this cycle seems to work fine. ( Delicate pattern is Agitate, soak( pause) , agitate, soak.

Extra delicate cycle-extra low agitation. This cycle works fine. Yay! At least I can wash light loads on this cycle.

Ok so I'm starting to agree that the circuit that activates agitation levels is suspect.

But now there is more:

The washer tripped the breaker today in the middle of the extra delicate cycle. Pfft.

My family wants me to throw the thing away. I want to fix it.

I'm having a hard time finding an answer to this specific scenario. My Whirlpool washer model # WTW4815EW0, about 4 years old, recently stopped spinning out clothes at the end of a wash cycle. We use both the normal cycle and bulky items, and this occurs on both. The problem began gradually, only sometimes would the washer not spin out at the end of the cycle. Now it's every time. However, the strange part is that mechanically it has no issue spinning. After it decides to quit on the wash cycle (clothes are clean and tub drained, but still sopping wet), I just set it to drain and spin and it finishes the job without problem. So I don't think it's a lid latch, a belt, or anything that would stop it from spinning ever. What do I need to do to fix this? The washer was cheap to begin with and the cost of a repair person could easily cost as much as it did new, so if it's not something I can fix on my own I'll just get a new one. Thanks for any help.

I have some updated information. I ran some manual tests and found that the washer spins on low but not on high speed. The low speed test runs without issue. During the high speed test, the motor kicks in for just a second and then immediately quits, with lid lock light flashing. I performed a tachometer test which it also seemed to fail. I checked the belt underneath which looks good. Drive test performed good. Control board has no obvious damage.

Washer washes, rinses and drains fine, water pumps out like crazy. It's spins. I'm not sure how it's supposed to spin compared to our old style washer. It spins stops , pumps some water, spins and stops pumps some water and then it's done. But there's still some water down below and clothes are sopping wet? The darn thing takes so long to do a load of clothes I've never really paid attention to what it does and when. So everything seems normal except the clothes are wet.

Have an issue that started after the last wash cycle.

During the wash cycle with a full load the water does not stop filling and eventually water starts leaking out front door (drum is half full of water and rising).

I tired a wash cycle with an empty load and no leaks or overfilling of water.

I checked the pressure sensor hose and blew in the hose to check for clogs (no clogs). I have ordered a new pressure sensor (will be delivered in a few days).

Is there any other reason why the washer would overfill and not stop filling with water when clothes are in the machine compared to when it is empty during a wash cycle.

Thanks
