Hello Allen. Based on the information you provided, you will need to order and replace the lid switch assembly WP22001682 on the unit.

Patti, If the unit is not filling with water the first thing that you will want to check is to make sure that the inlet valves are not clogged. If the screens get clogged then the unit will not fill. Also check to make sure that the water valve is getting 120 vac when the unit is supposed to call for water. If no power getting to the water valve you will want to check wiring to make sure that there are no breaks and if that checks ok then the check timer.

Hello Nik, You need to put the VOM on ac voltage and verify voltage to the wall receptacle. This sounds more like the lid switch WP22001682 than the timer WP22001026. True, the timer is a constantly changing on/off switch, but if the unit is unresponsive, the issue is most likely the lid switch. If the unit never fills, you could have a bad water inlet valve WP22002360. There is also the possibility of a bad pressure switch WP208201.

Ksam, You will need to check a few circuits at the timer and water temp. switch, with a multimeter. At the timer, you'll need to unplug the power cord, select the rinse cycle and pull out the timer knob, You should read a "closed" circuit between SW (blk) and 5B (blu) ibn the rinse setting on all three cycles. At the water temperature switch with any "cold" rinse setting You should read a "closed" circuit between terminals 7T (wht) and 3 (ylw) and 7T (wht) and 4(orng). You also want to disconnect the air tube from the water level switch and make sure it is not clogged with debris, by blowing in it.
