Well, it sounds very much like your lid switch has failed, which if it has is a good thing because it is a cheap and easy repair.

To determine this you need to unplug themachine, remove the two screws holding your console to the cabinet (they may be behind trim pieces which can snap off) and then flip the console up and back.

This will expose a plastic electrical connector going into the cabinet. Disconnect this and use a jumper wire to connect the two outer terminals on the connector coming from the console. Then replug your machine, move the dial to the spin position and engage. If the machine spins the lid switch is your problem.

Any problems, search 'lid switch' on this forum and there are loads of discussions and instructions.

The part is

Replacement parts for WHIRLPOOL LSQ9544KQ0 | AppliancePartsPros.com

and you can search elsewhere on this forum for instructions of how to take the cabinet off and replace it.

Good luck and let us know what happens.

I did go and purchase a new machine for the mear reason it is 9 years old and from what i was told they last anywheres from 10 to 12 years,, I appreciate this site so much.. I will be back.. Thank you again
