I have a stackable Maytag washer/dryer unit. After the washer fills up with water, it will not go into the next cycle and start washing. It has done this before, but by closing the lid harder...it would start washing. I need to know what part I need in order to have this fixed. I called a repair man and he said it would be cheaper to purchase another unit...I don't want to do that. I have a handyman that diagnosed the problem before I called the repair man, but he didn't know the name of the part that is needed. He thought a trigger...but there is no such part. Could you help me with the name of the part that I would need?:)

Thank you so much...could you please tell me the name of the part? I looked under switch assembly and lid switch...but could not find a part by that name. What would you suggest?

Thanks...our "handy man" will be here in the morning and I will get him to check this and see what he finds. Thank you so much for your help...I will let you know what he finds!

I think you need a repair manual, and we can no longer link you to Maytag service library as they have closed it to general public use.

I suggest you locate a service manual which can probably be downloaded for a nominal fee. The problem with your lid switch may just be the fuse, so check that out first.
