Should there be some resistance in that contact - or dirt, or a bad relay, that may be enough to cause what you describe. When everything is pristine, even a low-pressure 'grip' is enough. But a few uses, and a bit of glaze on the clutch, and you are back to slipping. > Peter Wieck > Melrose Park, PA Hi Peter, Regarding your clutch magnet/solenoid hypothesis, I cannot find any electrical connections to the transmission or to the clutch and drive system. Yesterday I filled up the washer to the max and put it to the test. This time there were no problems. There is something intermittent going on. Eventually it will fail again and I'll remove the cover and see what exactly that clutch disc is doing. Thanks for your reply. -- David Farber Los Osos, CA |

There was never any automatic turn off. I've read many posts and watched many videos about Whirlpool direct drive machines with spin failures however there was not one mention about an out of a balance switch. If I ever locate one, I'll let you know! Thanks for your reply. -- David Farber Los Osos, CA |

| "Peter W." <peterwieck33@gmail.com>: Sep 09 12:03PM -0700 True story: Al Rashid Mall, Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia, main sewer pumping station: This is a 800,000 square foot mall including the likes of Marks & Spencer, Victoria's Secret and so forth. One evening, the pumping station clogged partially, causing it to trip the overflow alarm. Now, this is a modern station, built in 2001, with all the safety equipment, including explosion-proof lights, motors and controls, exhaust fans, methane and CO detectors and alarms and so forth - and all were determined to be functioning at the time of the incident. a) Worker arrives at the manhole access, puts the alarm on silence, and removes the cover. Apparently, he silenced the panel without looking at the faults: He had also silenced the gas alarms, b) He did not activated the exhaust fans, c) He did, apparently, identify what he thought was the clog, as he radioed to the central station to that effect, d) He climbed down into the pit - and was very quickly overcome by the fumes. e) Dispatch, not hearing from him, sent another tech, who, upon reaching the pit, also went in apparently to rescue the other - and was also overcome. f) And a third. g) It took a supervisor from dispatch over 40 minutes to reach the pit at that point, turn on the fans, and reactivate the gas sensors. Three people died. The Darwin Award people refused to use this story - for reasons not stated. Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA |
