Hello all,i have a Roper washer model number RAX7245KQO its just over 10 years old.It goes through the wash cycle ok,but just before it drains and/or spins it stops completely.I thought this info might help you guys with my issue.If i lift the lid and have the washer knob turned out/on i can hold down the lid switch and it will start spinning and draining,but as soon as i close the lid it will stop.I've searched the videos here which are very helpful,i believe i could change the lid switch,but do you guys think that sounds like my issue?I'm ok with trying that,but unsure if it could be motor or clutch/transmission related,as i've never attempted working on a washer before.Thanks to anyone who could chime in with their opinion,i appreciate it ! Jeff.

This is almost certainly the lid switch, and it is a repair you can do. Just take your time Here is the part Part number: AP3100003
and the video will show you how to do this Good luck, you'll be fine.

Yes it is difficult sometimes getting the cabinet back on. I tilt it from the front, and open the lid to see that the front lip goes like it should.
Glad you got it fixed, good luck with your washer!
