I'm getting a lot of codes on my washer f20, f21, and f32 are the ones I can remember. It won't do anything. I can't even get the door to unlock. Is there a reset button for the washer?

Mine was doing the same thing. We had to set the spin dial on no spin and push the extra rinse and spin cycle and let that run. Let me know how it works for you.

I've got a Kenmore that was built in 1994, so it may or may not be the same as yours. I have a cap that pries off the agitator. You can just barely see a line, but it's there. When the cap is off, then looking down in, there is a nut/washer combination that unscrews.

With the nut off, I can just pull up on the agitator and it will come right out. I think the first time it stuck a bit, but not too badly. You may need to call the place that repairs or sells them. Ask them for help. They can tell you how to remove the agitator. Good luck.

You will undoubtedly get your part from a parts store. Ask them for a print out of the page from the repair book which tells you how to do it.

They might charge you a few cents, but I doubt it.

I have a Whirlpool Duet Steam washer, the clean washer cycle has stopped working. When I try to use it, it goes through the cycle, but does not send any water into the machine and when it gets down to 1 minute it will not cut off. I tried to use this cycle yesterday and it stayed on the 1 minute left for over 30 minutes before I noticed it and manually cut it off.

Please help!

I have a Whirlpool Cabrio. Water is leaking from the bottom, as well as it sounds as though there are coins in the machine? The washer is not old, maybe 6 years old or so.

I have a GE Top load washing machine. The wash, rinse, spin, and 2nd rinse worked fine, but the final spin did not work. When I tried to run the spin by itself, the tub moved a little. I removed the front panel to check things out. The clutch pulley starts to move slowly, then stops.

The axle for the motor is still spinning, but the pulley is not moving. I pulled the pulley thinking it is worn, but after looking around the internet I am wondering if the motor is starting to wear out. Any ideas? I don't want to drop $100 on a new clutch pulley and replace the wrong part.
