How to Know If the Clutch on a Top-Loading Washing Machine Is Broken

If the motor doesn't run, the motor control board might need to be replaced. The water-level pressure switch detects the water level in the wash tub. If the water-level pressure switch is defective, the washer won't fill properly.

It could not fill at all or it could overfill even to the point of overflowing. If the pressure switch doesn't accurately detect and control the water level in the washer, replace it.

Washer Doesn’t Agitate or Spin

Last week, the shut off button on the dryer quit, so when you open the door, it is still tumbling. It will shut off by using the dial on the top--well, for now, anyway. This morning, the light inside the dryer quit. KitchenAid and Maytag service is hell on wheels. My washer drum broke few weeks after we got it.

They would not replace it. They told us to use it till they fix it. Weeks went by and no parts came. I asked them to replace it. They told me they have to fix it three times and they were very nasty. All parts were broken into pieces. Home Depot, the store where we got it from, replaced it. They got nowhere with KitchenAid and Maytag. Now, my refrigerator is less than a year old. The ice maker has gone south and rust has formed. It will not work. Six weeks have gone by and there were no parts to be found. I told them to send me a new ice maker bucket. They said they can't do that and they have to find the parts.

And they were nasty to me. It's a piece of junk. Do not buy KitchenAid or Maytag. KitchenAid is no longer a customer friendly company. They do not stand behind their product. If they resolve this, I will report back. But as my husband is on the phone and it doesn't sound promising, you probably will not be hearing anything more on this piece of junk!

I already have had my Washer repaired. I always thought Kitchenaid was the top of the line in appliances. I guess I was wrong. Either that, or Hansen's is doing something to make money on parts. From the very beginning, the machine would occasionally overflow on a frequency of about once every six months. I assumed it was my error, since I would let the tub fill with water and soap slightly before adding the clothes.

So, I never called the manufacturer about the warranty. I started putting clothes in first, then filling with water; but the problem persisted. It appears that the wash water does not drain before the rinse water comes into the tub. Then, we moved in and took the washer with us since it was only 3 years old.

The problem came with us, and I then decided to contact the manufacturer. Whirlpool would not honor the warranty, since it had lapsed by the time I decided to contact them. But they offered to consider some help if we used their authorized repair centers. We did that on several occasions, paid for the trip charges, only to have the repairmen unable to replicate the problem. We replaced a few parts that they thought were possibly causing the problem at our expense, of course. Still, the problem persists. I am done with the repair centers.

I passed on the offer. I really thought washers fell into the category of "durable goods," which should last in excess of 10 years. Obviously, not Whirlpool or KitchenAid products. Two weeks ago, our 4 year old dryer stopped working. It took 6 days for the factory authorized repairperson to come out. A part had to be ordered. As of a week later, the part hasn't even been shipped. So it'll be about 3 weeks, without a dryer, going to the Laundromat, not to mention the expense of having the dryer fixed, and the expense and inconvenience of going to the Laundromat.

Several years ago, we bought a KitchenAid dishwasher. It came with defective parts and didn't work from the beginning. Can this complaint at least be posted on your website, and other sites, to discourage people from buying KitchenAid products? We built a new retirement home and moved in April We filled the kitchen with Kitchen Aid appliances We thought they were top-of-the-line.

To date, we've had the refrigerator worked on four or five times with freezer problems, a new motor had to be put in the dishwasher the first or second month we had it. I just paid a repairman last week over dollars to repair our washer and dryer, agitator part broke on washer and fell out onto floor, dryer needed new timer replaced washer and dryer are approx. I think it broke from inside the door somewhere That's the final straw, I think We have probably 7 thousand dollars worth of Kitchen Aid appliances and it's falling apart.

What is our recourse??? I've told anyone that will listen how bad these appliances have been. Whirlpool delivered my KitchenAid clothes washer. I paid extra for installation. Their service technician did not check to make sure the washer was working before leaving. Called KitchenAid customer service and they sent out a repair technician. Besides cutting himself and bleeding inside and outside my new washer and and on my laundry room wall, he did nothing to fix the item. He said the motor was bad and would have to order the part.

So looks like about days to get the part and then another days to schedule yet another 4-hour window to repair a brand new KitchenAid product. Unbelievably they said they would not replace the product but would only repair it even though they delivered a broken useless product. Still waiting on the product to be fixed and still watching my dirty clothes pile up in the corner of my bedroom.

After 2 years use the plastic teeth on the bottom of the motor broke off. I had an extended warranty so Sears repaired it at no cost to me. Now after 5 years of use the same thing happened again. The Sears repairman replaced the transmission under limited warranty and also replaced the broken plastic teeth from the motor. He said the reason for the problem was the machine was spinning before the water drained out of the tub, thus being too heavy a load for the transmission and motor to handle. I purchased a kitchenaid Superba because I thought it would be of excellent quality, and last our family for many years.

Now I can only look forward to more bills for repair or pay for an expensive warranty. This is not the accommodation I had expected from a company like Kitchenaid.

How to Know If the Clutch on a Top-Loading Washing Machine Is Broken

I can look forward to more expenses in the future for a top of the line product. Since my purchase, this dryer has worked incorrectly. Mind you, this dryer has been in my home two months today. I was expecting that this dryer would work correctly for about 10 years! I then received a phone call from Pitts Appliances in Hickory, NC, wanting to schedule an appointment to come to my home and give Whirlpool a second opinion on the dryer. Tom listened to my complaint, apologized for the inconvenience, and told me that someone either he or one of his "higher ups" would be getting back to me before I just wanted to write about my experience with "the way it's made" KitchenAid.

I also purchased an extended maintenance agreement from Sears. Days off work and emotional distress trying to get this resolved.

Don't know how to resolve this so that I am protected for future damage based on the maintenance guy's predictions.
