My Splendide clothes washer (an old one from 2001) has been great for many years, but recently has developed a problem where it doesn't empty the
water when it should. Before I dive in to attempt a diagnosis and
repair, I thought to ask here for any experience with these machines.
Details of the symptoms:
When I start a cycle it fills, washes, and then stops. I don't hear the
pump running and it sits forever waiting for the "empty" signal before filling again for a rinse. If I manually drain it by opening the filter and advance the cycle, it has the same problem on the rinse cycle, it fills, rinses, and then stops. However, if I manually advance it to the spin cycle, now the
pump comes on and pumps it dry. So the pump is working and not clogged or anything.
Any ideas for things to check?
