I don't know if they're related, but my stacking Neptune washer still has a recent problem occurring sometimes, and a new one occurring seemingly all the time.
First, the previously reported issue of the washer stopping and eventually shutting off when going into the first rinse. John L. had suggested the cause was insufficient water pressure, and I made sure not to run the A712 at the same time. That seemed to help, but now the same thing is happening even when no water is being used anywhere else in the house. I'm going to have to check the inlet screens now. It seems to happen on full, heavy loads, but tonight I washed a couple of beach towels and a few smaller hand towels and everything shut down at the usual point in the cycle. Also, when I push the button to restart the machine from where it stopped, the timer makes a humming sound that goes away once it advances.
Second, fabric softener isn't always being flushed out of the reservoir, and yet at times after a wash load (without FS) has been completed, the FS reservoir is full of clear water. I don't know what to make of this.
Even if I find clogged screens, I don't think that's going to resolve the FS problem.
I welcome any diagnostic advice and hope this could be something like a solenoid as opposed to a control board problem.
