Kenmore Washer 110.20692000 (11020692000, 110 20692000) Won't start or doesn't start

The Lid Switch Assembly is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This safety feature is designed to prevent the washer from operating when the lid is open. It ensures that the spinning cycle can only commence once the lid is securely closed, protecting users from potential injuries. 

Over time, the lid switch assembly can fail due to normal wear and tear, accidental damage, or from being tampered with. 

Symptoms of a bad Lid Switch Assembly include:

• The washing machine does not start or stops suddenly during the cycle.
• The washer does not spin, even though it fills and agitates.
• The machine operates regardless of the lid's position, indicating a bypass or failure in the safety mechanism.

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

The Capacitor is an OEM part for Whirlpool washers that starts the motor by storing electrical energy and releasing it when the washer begins its cycle. This part ensures the washer operates smoothly from the moment it starts, providing the necessary jolt to the motor that enables it to begin its various functions, including spinning and agitating. 

Causes of a bad capacitor can vary. Electrical surges can harm its internal components, while wear and tear over time may result in a reduced capacity to hold a charge.

Symptoms of a failing Capacitor include:

• The washer failing to start.
• A humming noise when the washer is supposed to begin its cycle 
• The washer starting but then quickly shutting down due to insufficient power to the motor.

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.
