My washer will not complete the cycle. After agitating it will not drain or spin. I looked under the machine after draining then hooked it back-up and it worked one time, but then I had the same problem it stops after agitating and will not spin or drain. Is it likely that the timer has gone bad? If it is the timer what is the best way to check it with an Omh Meter?

Thanks, Mark :confused:

Was thanked: 2 time(s) in 2 post(s)
Is the motor trying to run in spin, or just dead?

The motor is quiet or not running when in the spin cycle, but working while in the agiatate cycle.

Thanks,
Mark

I would say lid switch is bad,,, push down on the lid where the switch is.... you can open cosole and check switch for continuity when closed...

bambiblaster, Thank You! After further disscuion with my wife I found-out that the wash machine was normal until about a month ago then it would go through all the cycles with the lid-up.....even the drain and spin cycle. After about 3 more weeks then the spin and drain cycle would not complete and only the agaitate cycle and fill cycle would work. So this is more reason to believe the lid switch is bad. What do you think? Also when I took off the lid switch I may have gotten the 2 wires mixed-up. There is a purple and gray wire that conect into both ends of the switch. Can you tell me specifically which one goes to which end.
Whirlpool model # LA6058XTNO

Thanks, Mark
