Installed new DC98-01877B drain pump relocation kit and ran the 'rinse/drain' cycle once and was satisfied that things were in order. Later in the day, washed a full load, again everything was fine. Next morning, (xmas day) started another load but this time washer just filled and drained at the same time, nothing else worked. Any suggestions will be appreciated!

Sometimes if the washer is filling and draining at the same time it can be a siphoning problem. Is the drain hose from the washer looped up as high as the top of the washer?

[surfboss]

Yes, the drain level is about same as height of the washer (top load). Am thinking of removing the new wire harness, putting back the old harness and splicing the longer black and yellow leads to the pump motor.

It is worth a try. Let me know how it works.

Washer belongs to my niece who was away for 2 weeks. She called in a repair guy who told her mother board was bad and replaced it today, works.
