Mode shifter coil is open...so there is no spin...sometimes... The whole assembly is about $100.00...is there a process to follow to change this? And Do I need to change any seals in the process? Can the coil be removed from a new assembly and then just replace the bad coil? Thanks, Dave D. :)

You would have to remove the complete mechanism from the cabinet and turn upside down. The problem with the mode shifter is a little thermal fuse (made in China) inside the coil housing. Hopefully later models have this problem solved.
