Troubleshoot A Crosley Washer

While not a well-known brand of washers and dryers, Crosley manufactures just over a dozen clothes washers ranging from super-capacity top loaders to Energy Star-certified front-load models. Since the washer is easily one of the most used appliances in the modern home, it is likely you will encounter problems with your Crosley washing machine at some time. There are some items you can check to troubleshoot your Crosley. Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions


1. Confirm the power supply is working and securely attached. The plug should fit securely in the electrical outlet. Check that the power is on, the circuit breaker has not been tripped and that no fuses have blown in the fuse box. Reset the circuit breaker if it has been tripped and replace any damaged fuses.


2. Confirm that the water hoses are tightly attached to the hot and cold water faucets and that they are turned all the way on.


3. Close the door or lid, depending on your model. Check to make sure nothing is hindering the lid or door from closing firmly. As a safety feature, the washer will not operate if the door or lid isn't closed securely.


4. Allow the washer to cool for 30 minutes if it has suddenly stopped mid-cycle. If a Crosley washer motor overheats, it will automatically turn off and cool down before resuming the wash cycle.


5. Move the washer or adjust the leveling legs to keep it firmly on the floor to prevent thumping and vibrating.
