The washer worked great last weekend. This morning, I ran a load and came back when it was finished to find suds still in the basket noticing a burning smell. Thinking I put in too much detergent, I restarted it back half way. After refilling with water, it agitated but when it was time to start the spin (after the normal 5-10 second wait), the normal noise was made but there was no spin. I lifted the lid and closed it then the spinning started. The smell went away but I've successfully done 4 loads since but I have to be right there when the agitating stops.

What can I do to fix it??

Even though it starts spinning after I lift the lid, you still believe it is the lid switch??

With a neutral drain washer transmission, the timer must interrupt power briefly to allow the transmission clutch to engage. Watch the washer during the spin period after it has agitated for a while, if no power interruption, you have a bad timer.

I have a similar problem with my Roper (Not sure of the model number right now) my washer works fine up until it comes time for it to spin either after the wash cycle or the spin cycle. I then have to rush to the machine, lift the lid, count to 3 and close it, then it spins fine. Any ideas?:confused:
