Inglis Washer stops mid cycle

When your Inglis washer stops mid-cycle, start by checking the incoming power and make sure the power cord is plugged tightly into the outlet. If power is consistent, a worn tub bearing is a likely cause, especially if the washer is noisy or the inner tub does not spin smoothly. The lid switch assembly is another common reason a washer stops mid cycle because it prevents the washer from spinning when the lid is open. Test the lid switch for continuity with a multimeter and replace it if it fails. A faulty control board can also interrupt the cycle by failing to send power to the washer's electrical components. Inspect it for burned or shorted parts, then test its outputs using the wiring diagram. On some Inglis models, the rear drum with bearing may need replacement if the bearing system is damaged. Finally, inspect the door lock motor and switch assembly for mechanical damage or failed switches that prevent the door from latching. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific Inglis washing machine.

01 - Incoming Power Problem

Make sure that the power cord is not loose. It must be plugged in tightly to ensure consistent electrical power to the washer.

02 - Inglis Washing Machine Tub Bearing

The tub bearing is mounted in the middle of the outer tub. The tub bearing helps to keep the inner tub spinning smoothly. Replacing the tub bearing is a very involved repair and will require disassembling most of the washer. If the tub bearing is defective, we recommend replacing both the outer tub and bearing as an assembly if the manufacturer offers the components together.

03 - Inglis Washing Machine Lid Switch Assembly

The lid switch assembly prevents the washer from spinning when the lid is open. If the lid switch assembly fails, the washer may stop mid-cycle. To determine if the lid switch assembly is defective, use a multimeter to test each of the lid switches for continuity. If a lid switch does not have continuity, replace it.

04 - Inglis Washing Machine Door Lock Motor and Switch Assembly

The door lock secures the washer door shut during operation. Once the washer door is closed, the washer can begin operating. If the washer door is not latched shut, the door switch prevents the washer from operating. If the door lock is defective, the washer may stop mid cycle. The door lock can fail either mechanically or electrically. Inspect the door lock for damage. If the door lock is damaged or does not latch properly, replace it. To determine if the door lock has failed electrically, consult your washer’s diagram and use a multimeter to test each of the door lock switches for continuity. If one of the switches does ...not have continuity, replace the switch.

05 - Inglis Washing Machine Rear Drum with Bearing

The rear drum has a bearing or bearings in it to keep the inner tub spinning smoothly. If the tub bearing system is defective the washer can become very noisy. On some machines bearings are sold separately from the rear drum, however we recommend replacing both the outer drum and bearing as an assembly if the manufacturer offers the components together because removing and pressing in the new bearing can be exceptionally difficult. Be aware that replacing the outer tub and bearing is also not easy and can be very costly.

06 - Inglis Washing Machine Control Board

Since a washing machine control board provides voltage to nearly all of the washer's electrical components, a board with a shorted component may send continuous voltage to the water inlet valve, causing the washer to overflow. You can inspect the board for signs of burning or a shorted-out component and use a multimeter to test the power output terminals on the board after reviewing the appliance's wiring diagram. Some washing machine control boards will have a built-in pressure sensor used to determine how much water to allow into the tub. The control board pressure sensor monitors the amount of water entering the tub dur...ing the fill cycle and will shut off voltage to the water inlet valve when the water has reached the proper level. A defective control board pressure sensor may allow too much water to fill the tub resulting in the washer overflowing. You can use a multimeter to test for appropriate changes in electrical continuity to help determine if the component is defective.

07 - Insufficient water supply

A clogged water inlet valve, the main water supply valve being partially closed, or low water pressure in the home can restrict the amount of water entering the tub, resulting in the washer stopping ahead of the spin cycle. Confirm water pressure is strong at the kitchen faucet and that the home's main water supply valve is fully open.
