Ok so I bybassed the switch for now but definitely have to reorder a new one, We let the water drain and spin out, maybe 3 or 4 minutes to do so and the tub seemed to be moving back n forth quite wildly, more then I'm use to seeing and a smell of hot motor or wires which could be where I bypassed the switch. I told wifey that we'll only do what we absolutely have to do until I get the new part in and even then I'm tempted to just pack it up and head to the laundry mat. Thanx for your help and any other advice you can give me then I'm all ears. Jason :)

I popped the top of the lid switch, it looks a little melted in there and a spring is loose with only one end attached, gonna have to order a new one but wondering if I can cob this up in the meantime

I unplugged the plugs again and everything looks good, no bent plugs, it just fills and nothing else.

Yup, I checked everything I could think of, there's only 2 plugs to unplug and plug back in so I double checked all that. The motor and pump went back nice n easy so I don't think I bent anything, Where is the motor receptacle and how do I check that? I double checked all the obvious plugs and everything seems to be in nice n tight. Not sure what else it could possibly be. The grinding noise was happening with the lid opened or closed so a faulty lid switch might be the issue too but I'm not sure.

Check the motor receptacle, make sure a pin didn't get bent over. Also, if you removed the cabinet, did you remember to plug the lid switch back in? Motor won't work at all with open lid switch.

I was looking for more info and several people mentioned that there washer was humming but not doing anything, mine isn't making any noise at all. Thinking that something isn't fully plugged back in.

Well I was quite shocked at the speed of the delivery. Ordered the parts yesterday, early afternoon and it came in the mail today. After a few cuss words I had the whole shabang apart and the new pieces back on and followed the directions backwards to get everything put back on and now it wont spin or drain. Is there something I missed? It was a severe pain to get it all back together the hardest part was lining up the shroud and getting that back on. I'm hoping for maybe a loose plug or something simple like that. I'm gonna pull it back out and try to see if I can find the problem. Thank you for your help and have a happy new years. Jason
