either the lid switch is bad or the transmission is faulty. The Whirlpool and their subsidiaries brand(s) are well known for faulty or broken lid switches which break from the users either dropping or slamming their lids. The weight combined with force,breaks the switch and will keep them from agitating,draining or spinning.

Why is your washing machine not washing properly?

Your washing machine may not be washing properly due to clogged filters, low water pressure, imbalanced load, or a malfunctioning motor or pump. Additionally, using too much or the wrong type of detergent can also affect the washing performance. It would be best to troubleshoot these common issues before seeking professional help.

Does a washing machine need a magnet to operate?

The answer is both yes and no.It actually depends on the kind of washing machine in question.The problem is the motion.A washing machine need some kind of an engine or motor in order to move the cloths back and forth. This can of course be done manually.If we rule out manual washing machines, and also only count in electrical ones then these can be made in two different ways.The motor causing the tumbling or the motion in the washing machine can be made with both permanent magnets like NeoDym, or with purely electrical pulses creating strong electromagnetic fields.Most motors in washing machines made today are made without magnets. It is cheaper to make purely electrical motors where the electricity provides the magnetic fields needed. By electronically rotate the magnetic field around the axis, this will force the motion of the motor. It would use less electricity to make the motors with NeoDym magnets but it would also cost more to produce.As a conclusion: We can not make an electrical washing machine that operate without magnetic fields, but magnetic fields does not have to be made by magnets.

You would like to direct drain the washing machine to the adjacent laundry tub should you tap into the existing drain before or after the trap for the laundry tub?

......before, but I would not recommend direct drain. The washing machine hose must extend up above the flood rim of the washing machine before entering the drain. If not, there is a possibility of sewage backing up into your washing machine.
