It fills, then begins to empty before agitating. I quickly push the knob to shut it off, wait a minute or two, then pull the knob to turn it back on. After a few minutes it happens again -- before it should. Again, shut off, wait, turn on. I am getting a little sore from sitting on the toilet during the entire wash cycle waiting for it to prematurely drain!:eek: Any simple fixes for this? Is it worth fixing or dump material?:confused:

I think you should thank it for its many years of service, tell it you are sorry but many of the parts are no longer available and move on to a newer machine. Good luck

I think you should thank it for its many years of service, tell it you are sorry but many of the parts are no longer available and move on to a newer machine. Good luck That's what I want to avoid. In order to take the machine out, I have to take out the dryer. In order to take out the dryer, I have to remove the door and the doorstops (the little strips that keep the door from swinging through). A royal pain in the arse. I was hoping it would be something relatively simple like replace a cog on the timer. Oh well.

Wait a few days and see if someone else reading these posts has some ideas, but I am really afraid this one's lift ticket has expired.
