Mabe lms19500xsbb washing machine thermo actuator problem

Hello friends and good day, I tell you, this time I have a problem with the washing machine mentioned in the title and it happens that it does its functions correctly but when it reaches the point that it must centrifuge the water it does not do it correctly, because if it expels the water with the pump but only the agitator rotates, and thoroughly checking I have noticed that the thermostat is connected together with the drain pump, which seems illogical since the thermostat is activated and makes the basket disconnect, therefore only the agitator moves, does anyone know if it is normal for it to be connected to the pump?, according to my logic it tells me that it must be deactivated during centrifugation to be able to couple the basket and drag it, it should be mentioned that the transmission change was made because the original was broken, but an exact one was installed, (the problem I had before), I'm stuck there because I don't know what else to do. This is the washer panel This is the wiring of the lower part This is the thermal actuator connection This is the thermo actuator in question , I put something between the lever and the plunger to simulate and fool the board Update Here you can see the position of the actuator lever, in red, I have placed a paper mattress to lift the clutch and do the washing, in yellow, I tried to turn the piece around but it has position and does not fit when I give it the turn, the yellow arrow, shows the free clutch, therefore when the pump is turned on, the thermo actuator is activated leaving that "lever" in that same position and would not allow the basket to be squeezed correctly.

Something is not well armed, look let me go to the workshop and there is a washing machine the same and then I tell you that it is poorly armed, right now and on Sunday I do not work, it would be for Monday, but if a colleague comes forward, well that good for you greetings

To see my dear, I think it is missing a spring and the actuator piece is wrong, I leave this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khcEz5n3rBw get the whole piece, the actuator holder, lever and wearing spring, between the lever, good luck with that

Master
If you look closely, the accessory of the actuator holder is much different from the video that happens to you, I think that the one that has your washing machine brings another type of actuator or is for another model of washing machine, since you said that you changed the new transmission, Did you bring that accessory? because it's so much different, regards

Woauuuuuuu takes me out of the loop, why do you say that the old transmission already had that same problem? and when watching the video, the accessory that your washing machine has with respect to the accessory of the actuator of the video is much different, buy the accessory just like the one of the video and solved the problem, greetings

Okay, I'm going to find out what happened to the plastic parts, because it wasn't me who made that change, but I'll check and notice

Thanks lusangor I consulted that information a couple of days ago and my doubt is that the thermo actuator is operated together with the drain pump by sliding the basket at the time of centrifugation and in my opinion it should be the opposite: deactivate it when you are going to spin to drag the basket and perform the cycle correctly, I also mention that when the wash is activated the basket is hooked and nothing moves inside just turn the motor and slide the pulley and return to the same (the heat actuator is activated to release the basket), it is as if he did the opposite of what he should do.

It works like in this video. Click on the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2hK76pafu4

Lusangor, again thanks for your response, the "lever" is horizontal, as soon as I can send you a photo so you can see it well, the thermo actuator is identical but it is installed vertically and to release the clutch lifts but not to fit the basket but to release it, that's why I think it does the opposite of what it should do

I already updated the question with an image of the clutch "lever" so you can take a look

Master Won't you have the piece that should be hooked on the clutch teeth upside down? That's why maybe the spinning process does the opposite, greetings

Thanks for the answer fermin007, just yesterday I could think of that, I checked it and I realized that the piece has only one position and cannot be turned upside down, I still don't understand why the function is not correct or, I also thought about that the thermal actuator is to work in reverse ?, (but it does not seem very consistent), I am even thinking of adapting a solenoid as a last resort

Hello friends, I commented that the fermin007 solution was indeed correct, the original piece was searched, the change was made and problem solved, the team is washing normal and working very well, thanks for your answers I think I answer the question
