Tappan Washer won't stop

If your Tappan washer won't stop, keeps running, or is stuck on a cycle, check the drain hose before replacing any parts. Water siphoning from the tub is the most common cause, especially if the hose outlet is below the water level, sealed tightly at the standpipe, or pushed too far down the pipe. Position the drain hose 30 to 36 inches above the floor in a standpipe or laundry tub, according to your model's requirements. If the washer drains normally but the washing machine won't stop, the control board may be defective. Inspect the Tappan washing machine control board for burn marks or shorted components, although it cannot be tested easily. A defective main control board can cause the same washer-not-stopping problem. If both boards appear sound, test the timer with a multimeter and the wiring diagram, then replace it if it fails. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement control board, main control board, or timer for your specific Tappan 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 - Tappan 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.
