Seags83 May 29, 2013 for Model Number LTE5243DQ3 Hello there. We have a 7 year old Whirlpool Heavy Duty Twin LTE5343DQ3 model washer/dryer combo. The washer washes fine but the clothes are still very wet/damp when the spin cycle finishes. A small bit of water is left at the bottom of the bin. Any ideas of what could be the problem here? I will order from your site. Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Seags83. You need to check and make sure the drive block is good and the motor coupling is good on the unit. Either will cause the issue you are having. If both are good, then you will need to replace the clutch in the unit. Read More...

Marco October 02, 2012 for Model Number Whirlpool LTE5243DQ6 My washing machine dryer combo (Whirlpool lte5243dq6) will fill with water, but wont start to wash/agitate..I am thinking that it could be the lid switch. But to keep me heading in the right direction, what are some other possibilities? Thanks!!
1 Answer Hello Marco, The most likely causes are the lid switch WP3355806 and the pressure switch WP3362987. Of course the timer is also in the circuit. Read More...

Bill May 13, 2012 for Model Number 11098752793 Can I remove the font panel of the washer to replace the washer lid switch or do I have to pull the unit out of the closet to get at it from behind?
1 Answer Bill, You won't have to move the unit out of the closet, but you'll need to remove the top of the washer, to access the lid switch. " 1. Remove the Transition Panel by removing the three(3) screws. Tip the panel down and lift it out. 2. Release the two washer top retaining clips and slide the washer top forward off the unit. 3. Remove the two(two) washer Front Panel retaining 5/16 " screws. Then remove the Front Panel brace and remove the Front Panel." You should have access to the lid switch, and can disconnect the wire harness and replace the lid switch assembly WP3355806. Thanks Read More...
Eric October 02, 2011 for Model Number Whirlpool LTE5243BWO I have a Whirlpool washer/dryer combo unit that will not spin and drain. The machine does fine until it comes to the spin and drain cycle and then just stops. I have clothes and water in the machine now and am thinking it might be the lid switch. Does this sound correct? I believe the Lid Switch part number for my machine is AP2947199. Will this part work for my machine? Also, How can I gain access to replace the part. Does the front panel come off? Or does the top have to come off? Is there a way to rig the machine to get my water out and clothes to spin before I buy a new part. I really don't want to deal with draining the machine by hand. Thanks for your time, Eric
1 Answer Hello Eric. Yes, it sounds like the lid switch WP3355806 based on the information you provided. Hope this helps. Read More...
