My washer runs thru the cycles but when it goes into the spin cycle it doesn't spin. Would this be the lid latch????

Answer Hello Jim. You will need to check the lid switch and see if it is bad and needs to be replaced on the unit.

How do you install a new latch in this paticular washer. Part number AP5263307

Jeff for Model Number wtw4950xw2

Answer Jeff, To install the new latch you will need to raise the main top. To do this you will release a spring clip on either side of the front between the main top and the front panel. You will also need to raise the console which you will use a flat blade on either side under the endcaps to release the spring clip. Lift the console. Disconnect the wiring of the latch and take the screws out of the old latch that are holding it in place. Install in reverse.

Kenmore top loading washer does not respond. There is power at the outlet and the lid switch. Noticed a magnet that it slides in and out. A small piece of plastic is broken. No lights come on what should I do?

Geo for Model Number 110-21102010

Answer Geo, If there is a piece of plastic broken on the latch and the unit fills with water but does nothing else, then you would want to replace the latch W10404050.

lid lock LED flashes as error code. Also had F7 E1 basket speed sensor fault and F7 E7 unable to reach target rpm fault. Cleared these and F7 E1 returned along with flashing lid lock LED. Replaced lid latch no change. will bad shifter/speed sensor set lid latch code or is control board bad?

Al for Model Number 110.26002010

Answer Al, There is a check that you will want to do. Tilt the unit back and pull the cover off from the pulley. Check for the screw holding the pulley on is tight. If the screw or nut us loose then you will want to tighten back up but you will want to use loctite to help keep it in place. In the case where this happens the unit will still agitate but will have problems spinning.

When I start my washer, the lid locks and tries to start sensing, but stops right away and clicks a few times as if it unlocking and locking the lid then the lid lock light starts flashing and nothing happens after that. The lid stays locked, I cannot lift it but the lid light is flashing. I have to unplug or reset washer. Could it be the lid lock sensor even though the lid stays locked or could it be the water hose sensor? Thanks Maureen

Maureen for Model Number Whirlpool WTW4950XW

Answer Maureen, Did or do you not have any error/fail codes ? Check for a loose connection or loose wire terminal in the J15 connector of the wire harness, this is the lid switch / lock circuit to the control. There are other possibilities, and your best bet would be to use the tech data sheet, and conduct the diagnostics, automatic and manual test modes so you have a better idea of what the control is seeing or not seeing.

It was working the washer suddendly stopped and the lights are off and the lid switch was locked and my clothings stayed inside. I used the knife to open the door lid. When I plug again apears for 1 second lid switch led and it got off. Do I buy lid switch or electrical panel.

Edison for Model Number WTW4800XQ0

Answer Edison, You will want to verify power to the control board and check all electrical connections before replacing any parts. You will want to check the lid switch to make sure that it is reading properly. It does sound like it may be a lid switch issue but you will want to check unit first.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

I tried to start my washer I turned it on and the lid light and sensor light came on. The sensor started to sound then the lid light went out and the sensor light stayed on the washer stopped. That's all it does, I unplugged the washer for an hour thinking the timing was off and replugged it back in and tried to start the washer again same thing happened. Do you think it could be the lid switch that's not working? Please help me
