How to open Dexter Laundry WCAD door?
If the door of your Dexter Laundry Washer won't open, check the following: * **Door Rod:** Ensure the door rod from the solenoid to the lock assembly is long enough to allow the lock assembly to disengage. Adjust the rod if necessary. * **Gear Motor:** Check the door lock motor to ensure it's not stuck or binding. Replace the locking motor if it doesn't move freely.
What to do if Dexter Laundry Washer machine will not accept coins?
If your Dexter Laundry Washer isn't accepting or counting coins, check these areas: * **Coin Acceptor:** Look for blockages or damage in the coin acceptor switch. Clean, adjust, or replace it as needed. * **Power Supply:** Check circuit breakers, voltage, power leads, and power connections. * **Door Closed Safety Switch:** Verify the door closed switch at the door hinge is working correctly. * **Door Handle Closed Switch:** Ensure the single door closed switch on the left side of the door handle closes when the handle is vertical. * **Control Breaker or Fuse:** Check the breaker or fuse for continuity and replace if necessary. (Use a 1.5 amp fuse for T-300 through T-950 models, and a 2.5 amp fuse for T-1200 and T-1450 models.) * **Main PCB:** Consider replacing the main PCB.
How to reduce excessive vibration in Dexter Laundry WCAD?
If your Dexter Laundry Washer is vibrating excessively, consider the following: * **Mounting System:** Check the strength of the mounting structure (concrete or base) and ensure mounting bolts are tight. * **Drive Belt:** A worn drive belt can cause vibration and noise, so inspect it. * **Loading:** Small loads can contribute to imbalance and increase vibration.
Why Dexter Laundry WCAD door does not lock?
If the door on your Dexter Laundry Washer isn't locking, try these steps: * **Check Display:** See if a Door Lock Error is displayed. If so, follow the tests in the fault code section. * **Door Locking Motor:** Make sure the motor is receiving 120VAC from the main relay PCB. If it is, replace the solenoid. * **Door Switch:** Check for continuity through the door latch switch when the door is closed. Adjust or replace the door switch if there's no continuity.
Why hot water does not enter tub in Dexter Laundry WCAD?
If hot water isn't entering the tub during the wash cycle of your Dexter Laundry Washer, check these items: * **Water Valve Coil:** Check the coil continuity at the terminals and replace if there's no continuity. Also, check for 120V power from the main relay PCB. * **Water Inlet:** Check the water inlet screens for blockage and clean them if necessary. * **Water:** Ensure the water is turned on and operating. * **Wiring:** Check the black or white wires at the Molex plug on the PCB at the main controller and at the relay PCB. * **Pressure Switch:** Check pressure switch continuity between terminals. If there's no continuity, check the pressure switch hose for obstructions. If the hose is okay, replace the pressure switch.
Why there is no cold water to tub in Dexter Laundry WCAD?
If cold water isn't entering the tub during the wash cycle of your Dexter Laundry Washer, check the following: * **Water Valve Coil:** Check the coil continuity at the terminals and replace if there's no continuity. * **Water Inlet Screens:** Check the water inlet screens for blockage and clean if necessary. * **Water:** Make sure the water is turned on and operating. * **Wiring:** Check the black or white wires at the Molex plug on the PCB at the main controller and at the relay PCB. * **Pressure Switch:** Check the pressure switch continuity between terminal contacts. If there's no continuity, check the pressure switch hose for obstructions. If the hose is okay, replace the pressure switch.
What to do if water comes in but level does not rise in Dexter Laundry Washer?
If water enters your Dexter Laundry Washer but the level doesn't rise, examine these potential causes: * **Drain Valve:** Check for blockages, the drain valve motor and gear train functionality. If there is power but the drain valve doesn't close, replace the valve. Also, check for power to the drain valve and inspect the (brn/yel) circuit for power if none is present. * **Wiring:** Check the black and white wires at the Molex plug on the main PCB controller and at the main relay PCB.
How to fix water leakage around loading door in Dexter Laundry WCAD Washer?
If you notice water leaking around the loading door of your Dexter Laundry Washer, consider these solutions: * **Door Adjustment:** The door may need adjustment due to wear or abuse. Check the tightness around the perimeter using a dollar bill. Adjust left to right tightness using shims at the door lock or hinge side. Center the gasket to the tub opening before tightening the door to hinge bolts. Chalk may help show the contact point with the tub front. If the gasket is deformed, worn, or damaged, replace it.
Why no hot water in detergent dispenser of Dexter Laundry WCAD Washer?
If there's no hot water in the detergent dispenser of your Dexter Laundry Washer, check the following: * **Water Valve Coil:** Check the coil continuity at the terminals and replace if there's no continuity. Note that 120V power is only on for 20 seconds in the wash bath. * **Water Inlet:** Check the water inlet screens for blockage and clean the screens if necessary. * **Water:** Ensure that the water is turned on and operating. * **Wiring:** Check the black & white harness.
What to do if Dexter Laundry WCAD machine does not turn?
