ARDO Washer stops mid cycle

If your ARDO washer stops mid cycle, start with the incoming power. Check that the power cord is firmly plugged into the outlet and is not loose, since inconsistent power can make the washing machine stop mid cycle. If the connection is secure, a worn tub bearing may be preventing the inner tub from spinning smoothly and causing the washer to stop. A failed lid switch assembly can also interrupt operation, especially if the washer thinks the lid is open. Next, inspect the control board for burned or shorted components, which can disrupt voltage to key washer parts. A defective rear drum with bearing may produce loud noise before the washer stops, while a failed door lock motor and switch assembly can stop the cycle if the door is not securely latched. These are common reasons a washer stopped mid cycle or a machine stops with water in it. Test switches and electrical components with a multimeter only after reviewing the wiring diagram and following proper safety precautions. Enter your model number to find the exact ARDO replacement part for your specific 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 - ARDO 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 - ARDO 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 - ARDO 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 - ARDO 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 - ARDO 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.
