Danby Washer won't stop

When your Danby washer won't stop, the most likely cause is water siphoning from the tub because the drain hose is positioned too low, sealed tightly in the standpipe, or pushed too far down the drain. The hose should end about 30 to 36 inches above the floor in a standpipe or laundry tub. If the washer keeps running but can drain the tub normally, a defective control board is the next likely cause. Inspect the board for burned areas or shorted components, but remember that control boards are difficult to test. A faulty main control board can cause the same washing machine won't stop problem. Less commonly, the timer may be defective and can be checked with a multimeter and the wiring diagram. Always unplug the washer before inspecting or replacing parts. Enter your Danby washer's model number to find the exact control board, main control board, timer, or other replacement part that fits your specific 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 - Danby 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.
