Kenmore washer fills and runs, but no agitation. Drains, but no spin. Makes squeaky, clicking noise. All I have researched says "coupler".
I checked the motor coupler and it is fine. I bypassed the lid switch (wire connecting 2 outer 'prongs' of switch outlet) but washer still ran - same manner as above.
Used a multimeter on the lid switch but got 0 for open and closed...confusing me as I thought that says 'bad' switch...but the bypass worked...
Could it be that the switch is in fact broken, even though with the bypass the washer ran (incorrectly)? I may be doing something wrong with meter...
So - what to check next - cam shaft?

Thanks again, Brian Brian, Sure sounds like a bad motor coupler ? Did you actually remove the pump and motor, and physically remove and check the coupler pins and rubber bushing for damage ? Based on the information, your lid switch is fine. You may have tested it incorrectly with the meter. Here's a post from our forum, that may help you understand better. http://forum.appliancepartspros...continuity-ohmmeter.htmlGood luck, :cool: :cool: :cool:
