Susan G December 17, 2012 Can the machine work without the lid lock? I did not know that I had a lid lock when I purchased it.
1 Answer Hello Susan, Every washer has a lid lock or a lid switch of some type. This is a safety for the unit to stop agitating or spinning and must be installed on unit. Read More...
John December 15, 2012 for Model Number 3949247 The machine stops when it get"s to the rinse cycle. It does not drain or spin in any other setting. What could the problem be?
1 Answer Hello John. You will need to test and see if the lid switch is bad on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Anna November 24, 2012 for Model Number rax724bwo Will this lid switch assembly work for my Roper washer?
1 Answer Hello Anna, If your correct model number is RAX7245BW0, no that part will not work. While it operates and mounts the same, it cannot work because the electrical connector on the far end from the switch will not plug in. The part number you need is 285671. Read More...
Emily November 18, 2012 for Model Number Roper RAS8244LQ0 The washer agitates then it sounds like it is spinning but it does not drain all the water from the clothes. I have read some of the issues the others are having like I am and it sounds like I need to replace the lid switch. Can you confirm with the model I have?
1 Answer Hello Emily. No, it is not the lid switch if the motor runs during spin. It sounds like the drive block or the clutch on the unit is bad and will need to be replaced. Remove the inner tub and see if the drive block WP389140 is stripped out on the unit. Read More...
Oscar W November 16, 2012 for Model Number LA5380XS I have a top-loading Whirlpool direct drive washer which does not drain. When the washer reaches the drain portion of the cycle it simply shuts off, doesn't drain or make any noise. I was able to drain the water out of the tub by putting the end of the drain hose into a bucket on the ground. I also noticed that the washer continues to operate even if the lid is raised. What is my problem? Thank you, Oscar
1 Answer Hello Oscar. You eill need to check the lid switch W10820036 on the unit and see if it is bad. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Jenk November 12, 2012 for Model Number LSR6232JQ1 My washer recently started stopping halfway through the agitation cycle. When I go and just bang one time on the lid it will continue where it left off and complete the entire washing sequence. If I put something heavy on the lid, it will complete the entire washing sequence without any manual intervention (me banging on it). Is a lid switch something that slowly goes out over time? For example, will it get to a point where me banging or putting something heavy on the lid will no longer work? And will replacing the lid switch solve my problem? It's nothing more than a nuisance/headache at this point, but I don't want to get "stranded" with a washer full of water and wet clothes when it decides it's going to quit for good.
1 Answer Hello Jenk, Based on the information provided it sounds as if though the lid switch 3949247V is making intermittent contact. Check to make sure that the lid on unit is not loose where it will slide a little causing intermittent contact. Also check the plunger WP358684 to make sure that is not damaged. If these things check ok replace lid switch. Read More...
Tim October 28, 2012 Hello, My Roper does not switch on at all. Power was checked and is OK. Water was added manually and it still does not turn on. I have read that the lid switch could be the problem. This washer will turn on and fill when the lid is open,(when working properly), so why is it possible that the lid switch would prevent the washer from any power if when running properly I do not have to have the lid closed until the spin cycle? If it is a faulty lid switch, does it stop all power to the washer? Thanks!
1 Answer Hello Tim, If the unit normally will fill with the lid open, the issue is most likely with the pressure switch or the timer. This is the kind of issue that needs specific troubleshooting with the wiring diagram. Since we don't have the model number, we are in a tough position. If we could please ask you to re-post with a model number, we can go into detail and assist you in restoring normal operation. Read More...
