Washer sounds like it keeps running after final spin

After finishing all it's wash cycles, it sounds like it keeps running. It's motor sound that could be the pump but doesn't sound like it's from there necessarily . It will stop for a few seconds if I turn the agitator, but then continues until I unplug it. When I plug it in again the noise starts up after a short while. Tried recalibrating.

Last night the washer ran through the wash cycle then shut off without entering a rinse. After that I tried to do a rinse and spin cycle, but the pump wouldn't stop running so unable to fill th tub. Then tried to start a new washing, but the pump just kept running and wouldn't allow it to fill. Gave up and went to bed.

Hi @bob10087

Please confirm the full model number of the washer?

The reason for asking is that there are 4 WTW4816FW models i.e. WTW4816FW0 → WTW4816FW3 and they're not all exactly the same as far as parts and how they're wired.

Hi @bob10087

Could be a sticking pump relay on the control board.

Try disconnecting the power to the washer for about 5 minutes and then reconnect the power and check if all is OK.

If it is OK, and the pump is not starting at the beginning of a wash or rinse cycle, try performing the diagnostic tests on the machine to see if they show what's wrong.

Here's the tech sheet for the washer.

Go to p.2 Activating the service diagnostic test modes to see what to do.

If there are any errors, there's a Fault code/error display method table on p.3 that shows how to interpret the status lights to know what the code is.

On p.6-p.7 the codes and their possible causes are shown.

If it not OK, and the pump still turns on when the washer is started on a wash or rinse cycle, see the wiring diagram for the pump motor operate circuit on p.17 of the tech sheet linked above.

If you find the problem and it is a faulty part that needs replacing, here's the parts list that is useful.

Locate the wanted part in the list and note the manufacturer's part number for the part, that is shown with it. Search online for the part number only, to find suppliers that suit you best.

Search on YouTube for (insert wanted part number) replacement, and if you're lucky, you might find videos that show how to replace it.
