Washer Repair / Re: Whirlpool Toploading Washer won't stop filling up

  Unplug the washer, if water still comes in, the water inlet valve is faulty and needs replaced.

  Will it spin if you advance timer directly to spin mode? With timer in spin mode, does the timer now advance on it's own?

Similar to the person in this post, we have a Whirlpool YLSR7233EQ0 (16 years old) that has recently started behaving the same: water won't shut off.
The washer will successfully run through whatever cycle that is selected, but the water won't stop.  Cold or hot, doesn't matter.
We disassembled the washer/casing today to troubleshoot based on some information we've seen on the internet;
- cleaned silt out of cold water intake screen in back. 
- checked the tube that controls the small/medium/large water level - it is connected, no blockage. 
- and cleaned some 'gunk' from the tub and so on while we were in there.
We haven't resolved the problem but wondering if it might be electrical - the cycle selector button, when you push it in to STOP the cycle this usually stops the water but the water is continuing to run in.  Suggestions on parts or next steps? 
Thanks!

Not to be rude but why buy someone Else's problem off CL.   I had a customer that did the same thing, cost to repair on 2 of them was cost prohibitive.  Said he was a compulsive gambler he was playing the odds.

Washer Repair / Re: Maytag Neptune front load boot shred problem

« Last post by Thorning on June 16, 2013, 04:16:42 PM »

thanks for the help again. I took the plunge and dismantled the tub and spinner. Sure enough the aluminum spider was broken almost completely thru about halfway from the center to the edge on 1 of the 3 legs. The spinner or basket was rubbing on the inside of the plastic tub cutting quite a groove which i hope to repair using JB weld epoxy. The bearings are in good shape and I plan on reusing them. Maytag made a part rather flimsy and it probably should have been made of steel for better life. If I could figure out how to get the pictures across the wire I am sure someone else could benefit from my experience.
Cheers

Refrigerator & Freezer Repair / Re: Maytag Bottom Freezer leaking water every couple months

Drain pan easy to change if (a) ..remove condenser fan blade (b) spray fan shroud rubber gasket with some silicone spray to make it slippery then work shroud out working it slightly back and forth .The key to getting it back in properly is take small wire cutters and modify the guides on the drip pan and matching areas on fan shroud so you can jam it all back together easily .

Thanks.

I filled the drain pan with water after opening the panel at the rear of the fridge. The issue reproduced immediately.

The drain pan looks a bit difficult to remove.

Thanks for the help. I was hoping the spider was steel and I could weld it if it is cracked. Maybe I will get lucky and find something else. If it is Aluminum it is probably too thin to weld it anyhow. I will keep the  column updated as to progress. I would be happy to send you a gift for your advice which is just what I was looking for. Where are you located ?

I haven't seen a cracked spider on this particular model but it is a common problem with these aluminum spiders.  There's a wire and spring clamp that secures the boot to the front panel.  Just pop it off with a screwdriver. The inner basket and spider are sold separately. A cracked spider can definitely cause the wash basket to rub on the tub.  I've seen extreme cases where it has worn completely through the tub.
