Jenk for Model Number LSR6232JQ1 My washer recently started stopping halfway through the agitation cycle. When I go and just bang one time on the lid it will continue where it left off and complete the entire washing sequence. If I put something heavy on the lid, it will complete the entire washing sequence without any manual intervention (me banging on it). Is a lid switch something that slowly goes out over time? For example, will it get to a point where me banging or putting something heavy on the lid will no longer work? And will replacing the lid switch solve my problem? It's nothing more than a nuisance/headache at this point, but I don't want to get "stranded" with a washer full of water and wet clothes when it decides it's going to quit for good.
Answer Hello Jenk, Based on the information provided it sounds as if though the lid switch 3949247V is making intermittent contact. Check to make sure that the lid on unit is not loose where it will slide a little causing intermittent contact. Also check the plunger WP358684 to make sure that is not damaged. If these things check ok replace lid switch. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Wednesday, November 21, 2012
