Washers Shift Actuator
This component contains the optical tachometer and the synchronous motor that shifts the machine between agitate and spin modes. In the sensing phase, the control board monitors the tachometer signal to calculate drum inertia; if the sensor is faulty or the arm is stuck, the board stalls. Replacing the actuator restores the critical feedback loop required for the machine to progress past the load-weight calculation.

Lid Lock Assembly
The sensing algorithm requires the lid to be securely locked before the motor can perform high-torque pulses for load weight determination. If the internal solenoid fails or the lock switch contacts are oxidized, the control board will wait indefinitely for a 'lock confirmed' signal. A new lock assembly ensures the safety interlock is satisfied, allowing the cycle sequence to advance.

Water Inlet Valve
Modern sensing routines often include a pulse-fill sequence where small amounts of water are added to calibrate load resistance. If the solenoid in the water valve is mechanically seized or electrically open, the machine will wait for water that never arrives. Replacing the valve assembly ensures the pressure transducer receives the necessary hydraulic signal to terminate the sensing routine.
