Hello Sonny, You will want to make sure that you are getting power to the water valve. You should have 120 vac to which ever side of the valve that is supposed to call for water. If you are getting power then you would need to check the screens on the valve to make sure that they are not clogged. IF clogged clean out if not clogged replace valve.

Xin T for Model Number LSR6132HQ1

My washer (Whirlpool LSR6132HQ1 top loading) will stop in mid of agitation. I have to wait a few hour or switch to a diffent cycle mode to get it start again. It seems getting worse and happens more frequent. It is still able to finish whole cycle (agitate, rinse, spin, drain), just always stops and need to manual start again. It is not load related, it stops with just one handtowel as well. I am wondering if it is a bad or loose lid switch? How could I still make it start again by just waiting some time? Any other suspect area/parts I may need to check?
