Ardel for Model Number MAV5057Aww Just started a load and washer working OK. Opened lid to toss in one item; closed lid...and nothing. Believe it is the lid switch and that it just fell off or ??? (because when I poke a screwdriver in to see ifI can bypass the safety to see if washer will work, there is nothing at all there.
Answer Hello Ardel. Yes, based on the information you provided, it sounds like the lid switch is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Make sure the outlet for the washer has power. 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 Read More...
