Originally, the machine filled and agitated, then stopped. The lid switch had come apart, we discovered when we opened the cabinet. When the pole hit the switch, it sort of "fell down" under the top. My friend put it back together, used a tiny amount of heavy duty glue to hold it together, screwed it back on and we left it to dry. Later we went and tried the switch to see if it was working again, and nothing. No power at all. The appliance guy I talked to said something about the clear tube running from the switch under the top, and said if that part failed, it would shut the machine down. Does that make any sense?, given the way it first acted?
Thanks for answering. I really appreciate the education. I cannot afford to call a repairman, so I am trying to figure this out myself. Betty Hinks
