 I ran the Automatic Function Test on this machine and it indicated a fault: it was the turbidity sensor failed to detect clean water. I removed the sensor because the Samurai told me to check to see if it was all gunked up because the sensor works by beaming light through the water. The sensor I pulled out seemed clean, so I figured something internally went wrong with it. I bought a new sensor, and installed it. Now the machine runs for about 20 minutes of the heavy wash cycle and  then trips the GFCI outlet that the machine is wired from ( I know that it should not be wired this way, but I didn't wire this house and it ran fine for years). If you reset the GFCI it will run another 20 minutes or so, then trip again. I checked to see if I could have installed the sensor incorrectly but it only goes in one way, same with the wiring harness to it. Any help is appreciated.
