It won't drain water out or spin.....Hit YouTube search for Whirlpool won't drain or spin ...

First video says lid switch , take it out it has split , put a zip tie around it , reinstall .......everything works now.

I look like a genius to the war department !

Back to the couch !

Feel free to come visit me. It seems things are breaking faster than I can fix them. In the past few months, washer, dishwasher, coffee pot, truck, recliner, wife's sewing machine, my sewing machine, my serger. Last year, major water leak in front yard (cracked main water line), water pump on truck, rotors on truck, after I replaced the water pump the bypass hose burst. Yes I was too freaking lazy to change it when I changed the pump. :(

YouTube is your friend when it comes to fixing things !

Had the same thing happen to me last year. Six months later the fix gave out and broke again. At that point I just removed the switch and spliced the wires together. Other than having to remember that it won't stop spinning if I open the lid, problem solved permanently.

Bingo.

 

I loved sticking a pencil in the lid switch as a kid & watching the spin cycle. The parental units have a newer one now, and the switch is hidden under the top. Last time I was up there, I wound up doing a wire-nut bypass on it. The infernal machine wouldn't even *fill* if the lid was open.

 

Of course if things get too bad, there are always a million appliances available on Craigslist for cheap.

I had two (!!) compact fluorescent bulbs burn out this week.  :drama:
