Question Replacing a washing machine in a Newmar Class A motorhome

[Jim]

@Jim - You'll know when it's time because you'll be tired of the nuisance.

I think it's time then!

I think it's time then!

It will sure be easier with your passenger seat out for repair. Otherwise, seat will have to be removed again, or two machines will have to be lifted over the newly-upholstered seat (don't recommend). After much research, lowest price and best availability was Camping World.

How heavy is the washer? Can I haul it out by myself? May not have time to find some help before the seat returns.

 

[GlampDaddy]

It's 146 pounds, but the Whirlpool is heavier and has to be removed. Check your health insurance policy for co-pays for hernia repair before attempting.

My OEM has worked almost flawlessly but on our last trip we noticed when the wash cycle is finished we get the code "end" but the door is still locked. We have to turn the machine off to unlock the door. We can live with that nuisance.

And so it begins!

Hush!!! You know, the whole time I was writing that post I kept telling myself don't jinx it.

Your options are now 1) start shopping for your new Splendide, or 2) start shopping for your new coach!

I am confident you're not talking to me or are you? If you are, STOP! Yep, that was yelling at you.

DUDE!! I’m not the one locking your washer door. Go yell at the guilty party !!

Thanks, it sounds better than what @GlampDaddy suggested about buying a new coach.

my washer had that problem that wouldn't spin dry clothes...then I found error code..meant door not latched...cleaned all around door latch...closed door hard..without slamming and has worked every time since..that was a year ago

Doing bedding today and got the A.10 code, thanks @Jim. But it just means check the filter, so using a kitchen knife pop the bottom cover panel off, pull the filter out of the lower right, rinse it and proceed with laundry. Not surprised as doing bedding typically produces a labrador puppy. Not a big deal to fix.

Did mine yesterday, small German shedder in there. Did the clean cycle per instructions, wife happy

So I've been battling my washing machine for the past 1-2 hours. The cause? ME!

I crammed a comforter in that I know really won't clean but I tried. The problem is it ripped open during the wash so some of the stuffing came out. I didn't realize it traveled down to the drain plug. The issue I had was so much water was still in the washer I didn't know how to get it drained as the drain tub isn't enough capacity for that amount of water. I had an idea...cut the bottom of a solo cup out and hold it up to the drain and divert it into my biggest pot. That worked, I got the water out, I still ended up filling the drain pan but that's soaking up into a towel now. Now that I got the drain plug out you can see what was in it. This is what causes the A 10 error code and in no way requires replacing the washer/dryer. You just have to know how to use and clean these things. As soon as I pulled this out the machine started spinning again and is happy. There is an occasion where the machine may need to be opened up to pull something out of the drain tube per online. Socks etc. have found there way out. In the picture below, that white 4 pronged thing spins. If it doesn't spin because of a clog you get the A 10 error code.

We've had the same... I haven't found debris in the filter.

I think the error occurs when the water doesn't drain within a certain period od time. Clogged screen, weak drain pump...or overloaded machine... Switched to lighter loads...and seems to work. Wasn't looking forward to getting it out to replace the pump.
