[FONT=Arial][SIZE=3]Hello, [/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Arial][SIZE=3]I overloaded my washer apparently and while spinning it was making this really loud shaking noise. I ran after it and as soon as I went to hit the button,:eek: it stopped on it’s on. I removed all the clothes and turned the knob to the spin cycle and nothing happened. I started the washer cycle from the beginning and it is agitating fine, but when it gets to the spin cycle it does nothing. What the heck have I done??? Please Help! How can I fix this problem? Can I fix it?[/SIZE][/FONT]

Probably a bad lid switch, part # AP3100001

How do you open this machine and change this part? Is this a job my husband could do? He’s pretty good at the basics, with intructions. Or is this a job for the repair man?

This part is not too difficult to replace yourself. He has to remove the washer cabinet to access the lid switch. The disassembly instructions attached.
