It sounds like the timer is advancing but a specific component might have a grounded connection. Where in the cycle is the operation getting stuck, and does the cycle knob continue rotating all of the way around or does it stop just before the off position?
Hello Michael,
Thank you for the response.
If I rotate the knob while the machine is unplugged it starts on the cycle the knob is set at when plugged back in, but doesn’t proceed to the next operation even though the knob advances.
I just tried setting the knob on the final spin cycle before the Off position and plugged in the machine. Spin cycle started. The knob advanced to the off position and stopped advancing. The spin cycle continued until I unplugged the machine.
I suspect that the ground is in the lid switch. I have raised the lid during an agitation operation and while spinning, and neither stops the machine as it formerly would. And as before the push/pull on the knob itself does nothing to interrupt power.
WilliamM further advice please!!!
