This started after an overloaded wash. Even after removing the clothes (or running it completely empty), it keeps doing the exact same thing. I’ve already checked the suspension rods (it doesn't shake) and the safety switch, and both seem fine. Any ideas on what else could be wrong?

The labels on the machine say: Ultimate care II, imperial Series, quiet wash, commercial quality, super capacity plus, 10 cycles, 3 speed motor, 6 speed combinations, porcelain basket.

LSN1000LW0

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.

Edit July 24

I tried to wash a extra light load. It fills and spins but no agitation on any cycle now.The motor hums and timer advances but no agitation at all on any cycle.

I needed a socket wrench extension to get bolt off agitator mechanism. I got one today. Indeed the agitator the dogs are toast. That explains a few things. But the lower agitator worked independently from the upper one previously. So I carried on with lower agitator diagnostics since I already had it taken apart

I found the agitator spline situation to be fine. So I'm moved to test agitator shaft function. I filled washer and observed the shaft. It no longer moves at all. But the machine does still fill and spin.

Does this indicate anything different?

I have ordered some of the contact cleaner stuff delivered. Local hardware store in my town did not have any.

But I'm starting suspect a transmission problem now. But I plan to check the motor coupling as well. ( I have already changed this part once about 5 years ago) Any insight would be appreciated.

Edit July 25

Contact cleaner spray was found and applied to the timer mechanism as suggested. No change in above mentioned situation.

Edit Aug 3

Motor coupler was check and is fine.

However, there is rust all over the place on the chassis and metal parts inside this machine. But it's not wet anywhere. I noticed upon removing the wiring harness from the motor prior to pulling it that the contacts were a bit fouled. So wiped them and sprayed with the electrical cleaner.

Could this have been a factor?

Edit:

I put it back together and tried to run it on extra small load. It filled, agitated for a moment and then stopped agitating. I tried to drain and spin, but it would not do this anymore either. The motor was not as loud as previously, so that's an improvement, nor did it trip the breaker, so that's nice, but, still not operating properly.

So now I have water to bail out.

This may be the end for this machine.

Thanks, Dee

Replaced the drain pump and went through reset and calibration cycle. It goes through all the cycles and stop at spin cycle.

If you press power off, it then locks the panel and beep at any button pressed.

Any idea what the issue is?

Much appreciated.

initial issue of F05 code. Replaced the pump which worked for like 6/7 loads.

Now h20 code has appeared.

I’ve checked everything, made sure there were no blockages, no kinks, good connection to new pump

Machine is just over 2 years old - not even used that much

Any assistance is much appreciated

⟐ Commented August 02, 2026 at 8:05 MST

No power to drain the pump. If I provide 120v direct to pump, the machine completes the cycle

I suspect a relay as well, but not sure how to locate the correct one

⟐ Commented August 01, 2026 at 23:33 MST

Water pressure is ok. I already clean water inlet filter also clean water inlet valve also. But no solution. Suspected inlet valve may be faulty or may be not.

Any idea where is the problem. Please suggest

After the washer fills with water the washer begins to hums loudly. The washer then begins to smell as if something is getting hot. The only function that really works after this point is if the washer is turned to the spin out cycle. The washer can spin out all of the water.

What is wrong and can I fix it? Thank you in advance for any help.

The wash cycle runs like normal and when it's time to drain and spin, all visible water from the tub does get drained out. But when the spin cycle starts, the clothes end up in a tangled ball on one side of the tub, which causes the load to be unbalanced while spinning. I pause the machine and untangle the clothes and arrange them around the tub like normal, but when I resume the spin cycle it just happens again.

This happens no matter what size load I run. I do always make sure that the clothes are arranged evenly around the tub, avoiding the center.

Could anyone help with what could be causing this? Would it be difficult for a layman to repair?
