Estate Washer won't stop

Won’t your Estate washer stop? The most likely cause is water siphoning from the tub. Check that the drain hose ends 30 to 36 inches above the floor in a standpipe or laundry tub, is not sealed around the standpipe, and is not pushed too far down the drain. Improper drain hose placement can make the washer keep running as it repeatedly fills and drains. If the washer drains normally but the washing machine won't stop, a defective control board is the next likely cause. Inspect the board for burn marks or shorted components, though it cannot be easily tested. A faulty main control board can cause the same washer stuck on cycle problem. If both boards appear normal, test the timer with a multimeter and the wiring diagram, then replace it if defective. These checks apply to Estate top load washers and other models with similar controls. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement drain hose, control board, main control board, or timer for your specific washing machine.

01 - Water siphoning from tub

If the water is siphoning from the tub the outlet end of the drain hose is likely lower than the water level in the tub. The drain hose should terminate between 30 inches to 36 inches (77 centimeters to 92 centimeters) above the floor, depending on the model, in a standpipe or laundry tub. If the drain hose is sealed at the top of the standpipe or excess hose is pushed too far down into the pipe, siphoning can also occur.

02 - Estate Washing Machine Control Board

If the washer can successfully drain the water from the tub then a defective control board could be responsible for the washer not stopping. The control board cannot be easily tested, but you can try to inspect it for signs of burning or a shorted-out component to help determine if the part should be replaced.
