Either the machine does not "know" or the clutch/brake switch is bad. Either way it is a safety switch

There are various ways through which you can know when your clutch is bad. When you are having troubles shifting gears, this might be a clear indication of a clutch problems.

I don't know. I don't particularly want to either. Please, just assume the outcome is bad and don't experiment.

You may want to check your motor on the washing machine. It may have a bad short.

There could be, but some times they break down because there old!

Slipping of the clutch and a peculiar smell are the first signs of a clutch that is worn out.

i love you so much

It won't run properly and you may as well change the motor.

Two negative effects are the noise and the vibrations; caused by the speed.

It is important to know the signs of a bad car part. If an AC clutch bearing going bad, the biggest indication would be the trouble driving with the AC on in the car.

Yes you could, but it's usually not allowed by plumbing codes. Another point: Sometimes in Britain the outlet from a washing machine is joined to the under sink waste. I lived in a house with this arrangement once, and every time the washing machine was on you got bad smells from the drains, so I wouldn't recommend it.

The clutch will be very loose and it will be hard to come out of any gear.

The clutch pedal will have more play in it before catching. A good clutch catches near the floor, while a bad clutch must travel further for the clutch plate to meet the flywheel. If the pedal travels close to the top of it's path, then the clutch is probably wearing low.

when a clutch goes bad the bike will not be able to go top speed or let the rpms get to high in any gear because the clutch is engaging when it is not the right time hope that helps

It's a self adjusting hydraulic clutch. If it needs adjustment, it's probably either a bad clutch or a faulty clutch master or slave cylinder.

May be a wigwag problem - one of the coils went bad. Not joking - google it- I had this problem.

no it is hydraulic.dont know what your problem is but check clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder operation,if ok may just be a bad clutch

the water calve could be going bad or you could have a siphon happening from the drain line.

How do you know if your fly wheel is bad

Possible causes: Motor is bad (can you hear the motor run?) Belt the from the motor to pulley/drum is worn or broke Bad timer or control unit

Turn on ac and watch clutch on front of ac compressor. If clutch doesn't engage then AC relay is bad. Or you can follow the schematic on the side of the relay and use a volt meter to test it.

it may bind when using the clutch, it will squeal when not using the clutch, and stop when you do. You may also feel or hear a constant grinding like noise, this is the bearings going bad.

BAD RELAY answer bad switch bad relay and most likely, bad clutch

After you have located the clutch slave cylinder, have someone depress the clutch pedal. You should see the piston of the slave cylinder extend somewhat. If it does not, either the slave cylinder is bad, or the master cylinder, or, there is not enough brake fluid in the system for it to operate properly. Check the level in the master cylinder. If the slave cylinder is leaking profusely, it is probably bad.

There can be good or bad washing mashines but some can break down!!

With the car in gear, if you push on the accelerator and the car won't move, or moves very slowly, that could be a bad clutch. If the car will come up to speed eventually, but the engine revs up without much acceleration, it could be the clutch. Take a look at this page about how the clutch works; http://www.howstuffworks.com/clutch.htm If the clutch plate is worn, there will be little or no friction and the…

Yes, but looking really does not mean it is bad but- if you see hardly any clutch material its bad, if there is a burned plate, its bad. Some times it is not the clutch plate but the pressure plate springs or the throwout bearing.

bad point: it is not a summer fabric. This means that it will not let your body breath and will leave sweat patches underneath your arms. Also, it expands when you put it in the washing machine- if 100% polyester. :) hope I answered your question. Sorry don't know any good points. :( sorry hopefully someone else will be able to answer that.

clamp the line to the slave cylinder and mash the clutch pedal. if the pedal gets hard to push,the slave is bad. if the clutch pedal goes down slowly with moderate pressure,the master cyl is bad clamp the line going to the slave cylinder. meant to say that in the previous answer

There is no adjustment on that year. You either have a worn out clutch disc or a bad clutch slave cylinder. Could be a bad clutch master cylinder too.

If the clutch is bad, you would be able to hold the fan and start the car. The fan will not spin if the clutch is bad. If the clutch is good the fan spins at a high speed.

Possibly the clutch is shot too. It's not unusual. That's the guess. In order to make a more detailed diagnosis, I'd have to know more. There is also the "throw out bearing", that might be bad too.

Sounds like you have broken the 'clutch return spring' in the transmission or if it's hydraulic you may be out of clutch fluid (leaking)

Put a liguid level gauge on top and adjust the feet until it's level. Bad shaking when rinsing? Stop the washer and redistribute the clothes around.

Buy Affresh, it is sold at most supermarkets. 3 large tablets to a pack. I placed 2 tablets in the washing machine and ran thru the washing cycle using HOT water. If you have time you can let the machine agitate for about 5 minutes and stop the cycle letting the Affresh work by soaking for about an hour and than turn the machine back on. This will disolve the built up soap scum causing…

bad clutch, bad pressure plate, throw out bearing, air in the hydraulic lines...etc

If the clutch disengages properly then the compressor should not be running. Most likely the clutch itself is bad instead of the compressor.

It's a hydraulic clutch so its self adjusting. If your having problems the clutch itself may be bad or your slave cylinder may be going bad.

Hydraulic clutch? Maybe a bad rear seal in the clutch master cylinder

YOU CAN'T. The clutch is either worn out are the clutch slave cylinder is bad.

A/C fan clutch is bad. A/C fan clutch is bad.

there is not adjustment for the clutch, you need to replace it if is bad.

washing only cleans so much and sanitizing kills all the bad bacteria and bad germs on there

bad clutch cable, or not enough oil on the clutch plates.

Sounds like the clutch is slipping and needs to be replaced - if cable was stretched clutch would not disengage and vehicle would creep in 1st gear and shifting would be difficult

After you engage a gear and let out the clutch and accelerate the car wont move faster but the RPM's will move up. Also in some rare instances when a clutch disk material separates from the disk its self you wont be able to start the car or even change gears.

It is an air pressure switch that closes an electrical switch to stop the water. The hose going to it may be cracked or loose, the diaphragm in it may be bad or the electrical switch is bad.

The throwout bearing is bad. the throwout attaches to the clutch fork and presses into the clutch pressure plate when clutch is depressed. You will need to replace this and complete clutch assembly. Make sure that you have the flywheel turned while clutch is removed.
