Washing Machine Buzzer, Help?
|

| Hello all,
About two weeks ago, our washing machine started to have issues. When
they thing switches cycles, such from wash to rinse, or from rinse to
spin and the buzzer barely sounds then it will sound in full force. The
machine will continue its cycle.
It is not a balance problem. How do I know? I ran it empty to see if it
would do it without a load in there, and yip thar she blows.
Any idea what might be going on here? Is it an easy fix or do I put this
3 year old washer out to pasture?
Thank you,
Fred

The most you need to do is disconnect the buzzer.
I don't think my washer even has a buzzer or any other noisemaker.
The dryer does but I'm usually upstairs and don't hear it.
I wouldn't buy another washer just because one buzzes too much.
Whatever money you save, you can give to a good charity.

have running around.
Thank you again,

A 3 year old washer, even one in a house full of children, is not ready for
the pasture after 3 years.
Low tech way to fix the problem is to find the buzzer wires and disconnect
them. As long as the rest of the washer works as it should that would not
bother me at all.
