Whirlpool Washer LSN2000JT2 Won't start or doesn't start

The Washer Lid Switch is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool washers. It is an electronic component located inside the washer lid that detects when the lid is open or closed in order to activate the necessary functions during the wash cycle.

Symptoms of a bad Washer Lid Switch include: 

• The wash cycle will not start even when the lid is closed
• Error codes displayed related to the lid being open 
• Inability to advance through cycle selections
• Flashes or other improper lid switch behavior

Causes of a bad lid switch can be normal wear and tear over time. Moisture exposure may also contribute to internal component failure.

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

The Lid Strike is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This small yet essential component ensures that the washer lid is securely latched, allowing the machine to operate safely and effectively. The lid strike interacts with the lid switch, enabling the washer to detect when the lid is closed and allowing the washing cycle to proceed.

Over time, the lid strike can become worn out or damaged due to regular use, accidental force, or misalignment. A faulty lid strike can prevent the washing machine from recognizing that the lid is closed, thereby hindering the operation of the machine.

Symptoms of a bad lid strike include:

• The washer not starting or stopping mid-cycle
• Error messages indicating the lid is open when it is closed
• Difficulty in latching the lid securely
• The lid strike appearing broken or misaligned

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