Hello everyone!

My Whirpool AWM 5043 – 400 washing machine randomly stops working mid cycle. If I manually then go and rotate the knob, the washing machine continues.

Here you can see the washing machine while stopped mid cycle:

If I rotate the knob towards B, the washing machine continues its program cycle.

If anyone could give me some insight, I would be more than helpful.

Thank you in advance!

I was wondering if one was pre wash, which is a short cycle that stops at the end. Letter A always used to be pre wash.

If it stops during rinses it usually has a problem with filling or draining. What does it do when it stops and does it have any water in the drum?

And what does it do when you move it on and it starts again?

When it stops it has water in the drum and if I move it on and starts again the water drains through the hose.

I’d suspect problems with draining. Check the pump filter.
