Customer Questions and Answers for Lid Switch Assembly by Whirlpool

Robert, You will want to check to make sure that there is power getting to the motor when it is supposed to be agitating. If there is power to the motor but not running then the motor would be the issue. If there is no power then the timer would be the issue.

Stephen, we'll need the full appliance model number from the model/serial number tag plate to determine the correct lid switch for your washer. Please obtain this information and repost for further assistance. Thanks.

Hello Jim, If you read any resistance in the water level switch, (pressure switch),with the machine empty, it will need to be replaced. If the reading drops to zero when the hose is removed, blow back into the tub through this hose to clear any possible clogs. This design also has a fuse in line with the water valves. There could also be a lid switch, timer, or water valve issue. These will have to be tested.

Hello Mike. Yes, when the fuse blows the manufacturer recommends replacing the lid switch assembly with the fuse.

Kevin, If you're sure the lid switch assembly WP22001682 is properly installed and adjusted, and the lid hinges and lid actuate the lid switch plunger, then the next step would be the timer WP22001638. Since the motor runs when the timer is advanced, it's not likely the issue. But a loose or damaged timer cam switch or contact can cause the type of scenario you're describing.
