My washer will not go into spin cycle. Would this be the door switch? Thanks.

Answer Hello Brian. You need to check and see if the lid switch 22001682 is bad on the unit. If so, it will prevent the unit from spinning properly.
How do I remove the top of the washer to replace the lid cover switch assy ?
Jim for Model Number 100.82873100
Answer Hello Jim. Disconnect the power to the unit. Remove the two screws in the back corners of the control panel securing the control panel. Pull the control panel forward and flip it backwards. Next unplug the lid switch and remove the two brass colored clips securing the cabinet to the back wall using a flat blade screwdriver to pry them out. Pull on the front of the cabinet and slide the cabinet off the frame of the washer. You can now access and replace the lid switch 279347. Reinstall in reverse order.
It washes but will not progress to next cycle of rinse and spin, manually move dial to next cycle nothing happens. What can be the problem?

Answer Hello Ivee. Check and see if the lid switch 279347 is bad on the unit and needs to be replaced. If so, it will cause the issue you are having with the unit.
The original lid switch has 2 terminals the one I received has 3terminals. The original lid switch isn #2-05415 the new switch #279347. The switches look identical except the terminals.

Answer Hello James. Look on the old switch. You will see some markings by the terminals. You will match the letters by the terminals to the letters on the new switch and install the wires onto the new switch 279347. You can also test the new switch off the machine, and the two terminals that read open without the switch pressed is the two the wires will attach to. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html
Machine works great when I leave the lid open. it washers. drains, spins. but when I closed the lid , the machine wont do anything. It is like a reverse switch.

Answer Hello John. On the end of the switch where there is two spades, you will need to remove that wire and hook it to the other spade. You have the switch 279347 wired wrong.
Do I have to remove the top to replace the lid switch? I can't seem to get it lined up to screw it back in?
