Donald for Model Number LSQ8543JQD Our Whirlpool electric washer has been in service for about 11 years. Recently, the washer will go through the wash and agitation cycles and then stop before the rinse and spin cycles. Oddly, if we lift the door and use a screw driver to push down on the grey tab beneath the lid (and above the lid switch) the washer revives and moves through the rinse and spin cycles. Does this sound like a lid switch issue?
Answer Hello Donald! Make sure that the lid is seated properly and that the lid strike WP358684 is not defective and activates the lid switch. If all is ok, replace the lid switch part number 3949247V. Thanks! Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Thursday, February 2, 2012
