Problem #8 - There is still detergent in the clothes after the wash cycle 

 

This can be because of using too much detergent, but mechanical problems can also be the cause. First check to make sure the cold water hose is unobstructed and if it's OK watch to see if the rinse cycle is normal. If not there may be a problem with the timer assembly in which case the easiest solution is to replace the whole timer unit. 

Excess detergent residue can also be caused by hard water.

Problem #9 - No cold water

This is related to problem number 8 since the rinse cycle is done with cold water. If the hose is unobstructed check to see whether water is flowing through the valve properly. Excess sediment could cause the valve to get plugged up in which case the valve needs to be replaced.

Problem #10 - The washing machine is dead 

Check the electrical connection to see if the machine is still plugged in. Under certain conditions the fuse could blow or the junction box could trip so make sure there is still power at the outlet. If the power is OK the washing machine timer could be broken. This can be checked with a meter.

If the power went off mid-cycle the load could be unbalanced. Most machines have a signal light for this situation. Simply redistribute the laundry load and restart the cycle.
