Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Washer Lid Latch Assembly (Part Number: OEM15789930)

1 Answer

Callie, It sounds like the calibration cycle may have been interrupted or there is another issue with the unit. You will want to try to put through another calibration and if it does the same thing then check the door switch to make sure that it is working properly.

Jeramie for Model Number 7EWTW1300YMO

I have a whirlpool washer, when started is senses then the lid lock light flashes and it stops the process then after about ten mins it starts filling with water like it should. then it stops on the spin cycle and wont do anything. so i push the start button and the lid locks then the lid lock light flashes and you can hear the drain pump kick on and drain, but it will not spin and the lid lock light continues to flash and nothing happens.What is the problem?

Jeramie, This issue sounds like it could be caused by a faulty latch assembly. Even if the door latches the unit is not see that it is and this could be a faulty enable switch in the latch. The best option would be to put the unit into a diagnostic mode per the tech sheet located in the control panel. Look for any stored error codes that would tell what may be causing the issue and follow the steps for testing that part, which would also be on the tech sheet.

Jeff, Most likely the issue is not the lid latch as the unit would not agitate. This issue sounds more like it would be the actuator that is causing this issue.

Hello Gregory, Use a putty knife/paint scraper to release the spring clips between the main front and the main top about 3 to 4 inches from the sides and the top will raise up.
