1 Answer Hello Jose. If there is power to the board, but it does not come on, you will need to replace the board in 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...
Carol July 14, 2013 for Model Number Kenmore 110.26901691 I looked at your Q & A section and did I catch that right, that the lid switch assembly needs to be replaced if the water does not spin out of the washer? I just wanted to make sure the problem couldn't be something else before I order the new part and if it could possible be something else I'd like to order all parts at one time. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Carol. You need to check the lid switch and see if it i sbad or broken. If so, it will cause the issue. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Julie February 26, 2013 for Model Number 11082172820 First of all, if my machine stops various times mid cycle, do I need a lid switch assembly or a switch assembly kit/lid? Second, what part number do I need? It says the parts shown are not compatible. Is my machine too old to get a part?
1 Answer Julie, You would want to test the lid switch W10820036 to make sure that it has continuity when closed. If not then you would want to replace the switch. Read More...
Greg December 15, 2012 for Model Number Kenmore 80 Series Washer I ordered and received a new lid switch part number AP310001. Using the same ohm meter as I was directed to use to determine if my old switch was defective, it appears that the new one is also defective. I want to determine if my test process is correct. I set the meter to RX1, put the black test wire into the hole marked: -com and the red into the +V-(ohm symbol)-A hole. The switch connector has 3 wires. I touched the other end of the red and black wires to the outside 2 connector wire and got a reading of about 35. I understood that it should read "0" Is the new switch defective? If not, where should I look next to see why my washer motor still doesn't work with the new switch installed? The tub fills with water, but agitator and spin function do not work. Thanks!
1 Answer Hello Greg, Set the test meter to the resistance setting RX1. Touch the leads together to make sure the meter reads Zero. Zero is another term for "continuity". When you are not touching the leads together it will read OL, (this means overload. In other words, too much resistance to give a reading [no continuity]). Now you are testing from black wire to black wire. It should read open until the switch is activated. When it is activated, it should read Zero again, (or the resistance of the meter leads. This will sometimes be .02, .03, etc...). Read More...
Mike December 02, 2012 for Model Number 11023912100 When I activate the lid switch, the machine sounds like it wants to start spinning, but does not move. Is this a lid switch problem or something else?
1 Answer Hello Mike, It sounds like you may have a bad clutch assembly. If the unit agitates but will not spin this would be a clutch 285785 issue. Read More...
Johnnierocket October 29, 2012 for Model Number 110.21882001 I just watched your video for replacing a lid switch on a Kenmoore washing machine. This was very informative and I decided to buy the part from AppliancePartsPros.com. The only thing I would like to know is, how do you get the water out of the machine if the lid switch is not working and it stops part of the way through the cycle? I guess it really doesn't matter, since the area that contains the water does not move and can stay there in place. Just thought I would ask though.
1 Answer You are right Johnny, you won't have to move the tub. Once the new part is installed you should be able to get the water to pump out by setting the timer. Hope this helps! Read More...
Jabc August 26, 2012 for Model Number 110-24642300 My machine will only fill in with water and won't do anything else.
