The problem is definitely in the motor itself. I might try disassembling that. Meanwhile, I just ordered another one. I was hoping that I could just disable the dispenser position check in the program somehow, but I'm guessing that would actually take a reprogramming of the computer. Too bad...

Sorry I wasn't specific :) it completely locks up the washer with error code "f13" and won't run again until the motor turns again.

Hello all. I've got a dispenser motor that is getting stuck and needs to be banged on about every other wash on my Duet (GHW9150PW1). Before I order a new one, I was wondering if it's possible to bypass it entirely? The dispenser itself is barely ever used and we could do without it. Just...

lol, interesting stuff. :) I ended up using a ratchet strap, axe handle, and a hammer and finally the agitator wiggled loose from the rubber spline adapter. Grr! Well I guess it's half a victory. I've been soaking it in Liquid Wrench and I even heated it with a torch but it's pretty solidly...

Here it is! See what you think. It does look like somewhere around the 210 degree mark to me.

This was bothering me too, because I thought for certain that my 2013 SQ only had a 180 degree arc, and maybe not even that. Turned out to be an optical illusion. I took a video with a high frame rate camera and put marks on the agitator. It definitely goes well beyond 180 degrees. Almost...

I know this is probably a stupid question, but humor me if you will. :) I just acquired a Hotpoint Rimflo with the handwash agitator, and I can't get the thing off. I took off the outer agitator, took the screw out of the top (although I'm not sure if that was necessary) of the handwash...

Alright, I devised a work-around that works great for my family. A simple switch installed on the back of the control panel to switch from "normal" to "gentle". Which is a bit of a misnomer, since on the handwash cycle the motor will be running on high instead of low! But as seldom as the...

You may be surprised what's in there. Our duet had nails, stones, coins, a couple of combs and other odds and ends clogging it up once. Can't find any holes big enough, so the larger items had to have gotten there by some form of witchcraft.

Hmm, well the main feature I would want to add is the ability to do a "gentle" wash aside from the handwash cycle. Perhaps I could just add a switch in a wire somewhere? I might try to figure out how to mod this thing. :)

I have the AWN432. Wondering if it's possible to change out the control panel and "upgrade" the 432 to a 542. Am I crazy? Where could I get the control panel? Would it be worth it?

Got it. :) Convenience wins. Haha. Anyway, I gotta make sure it is fixed right for my baby nephew. He loves washing machines but this one is his favorite. Kindred spirits we are. Thanks for the link!

Yes, the splines are fine, sorry I don't have a photo at the moment, although the picture you linked to on ebay looks like mine. However, the metal cylinder slips and comes out of the rubber part. By the look of the picture, they are not supposed to be separate (?). Would it be okay to just glue...

Hi all, my FF agitator recently began slipping (the rubber coupling in the top of the agitator apparently is worn out so the metal cylinder slips inside the rubber), and I was wondering how far I should go in trying to fix it and how I should do it, or should I just replace it? There is one on...

I don't know why, but I feel the need to make a comment (congrats to the OP on the Speed Queen of course, I have one as well, in addition to a front-loader. They make a great team) about water usage. Just while driving to work yesterday I witnessed literally millions of gallons being shot out...
