Eric I understand, I did find the schematics and had power all the way through..the timer came in yesterday I installed today. I'm a little embarrassed by the outcome. When I initially tinkered with it I had left the harness to the motor loose(didn't clip correctly) so after I had jumped the lid switch as the machine started working the harness must of came loose. After I installed the timer nothing happened so after further investigating I noticed the harness :mad: but now all is working and I have an extra timer for future breakdowns or diagnosing:cool: It did need the lid switch though so thanx for your patience and help.

Another few questions. Do you know which wires are the hot and ground for the motor? And is there an easy way to test the motor since I have the panel off already? That timer is over a hundred bucks. Do you think it's worth fixing? Thanx in advance

Eric Eric please help!!! So the washer was working fine for a couple days after bypassing the lid switch and this morning it stopped agitating and spinning again :( ... The lid switch arrived today and I replaced and still nothing.. I did notice that even with the power off I can hear some ticking from timer I believe. What else can I try?

Tell me about it. All she wants is a front loader and I keep telling her that according to the reviews they aren't worth it
