Washing Machine Lid Switch Repair?

If your washing machine will agitate, but refuses to spin out, you more than likely have a bad lid switch. A lid switch, when working properly, tells the washing machine when the lid is closed, thus allowing the washer to spin out. A faulty switch will signal that the lid is still open, even though it isn't, and the water will not spin out. Repairing a lid switch is easy for the average do-it-yourself person with some instructions from internet sources, especially videos. These switches will run anywhere from $20-$60 depending on the machine and are found at your local appliance repair centers.


Your washing machines filled up with water and quit?

Simplest solution is on the lid. There should be a small plastic pin sticking out that closes a switch when the lid is closed. This shuts the agitator off when you lift the lid. They can come off or break. The switch it closes can go bad also. After that, it could be several things deeper in the washer. If you feel capable of doing it, the switch should be easy to change. Unplug the washer. The switch is right under the edge of the top. Should be one screw holding it in on the edge of the top. Take the screw out, cut the two wires going to it and wire them together. Try the washer. If it works, problem solved. Get a new switch, wire it in. If it doesn't work, put the old switch back and call the repairman.


Where is the lid switch located on a Kenmore washer model?

"Kenmore" is a brand name for Sears, not a manufacturer. Your washer was most likely made for Sears by Whirlpool. You can tell by the first 3 digits of the model number, ie: 110.9764882 would be a Whirlpool since "110" is their manufacturer's code. The lid switch is typically just under the top of the cabinet to the right of the opening where you put the clothes in. There will be a slot there that corresponds with a plunger on the lid itself which actuates the switch below. For more help see www3.sears.com for a complete breakdown of your model.


Why Frigidaire stackable washer and dryer not washing or spending?

check your electric supply. maybe you dont have the full 240v to the unit. if only one "phase" (120v) the dryer wont tumble and washer wont run. only the dryers heater uses the full 240. if only the washer is out after checking power, check the lid switch if its bad washer will only do what it would with lid open. These are the most common problems

There is a safety switch on all washers and dryers to stop accidents. It turns off power when the lid is raised. Most likely the switch needs adjustment if the machine goes into normal cycle when you lift the lid. Locate switch and adjust to make it less sensitive. First turn power off, remove plug.
