Customer Questions and Answers for Washer Lid Switch by Whirlpool

Keith, there will be two blue wires on the timer WPW10199989 that would need to be tested for 120VAC when the timer is set to an agitation or spin. If there is not 120VAC at both, the timer has failed. If there is voltage, the next step would be to unplug the unit and inspect the drain pump for clogs, and the capacitor WP8572717 for signs of swelling or degrading. If the capacitor looks good, drain pump is clear, and the motor coupling 285753A is not worn or broken, it would be likely that the motor WP661600 has failed.
