Washer finishes the wash cycle but wont drain or spin. Moved the switch to the rinse cycle and agitates and will fill with water.. at the end - no spin no draining - lid switch does click but I am having trouble getting access to the switch itself to check for continuity.... Washer is model 110 91512210 ... any way to get just the lid off without taking the whole thing apart?
Thanks
Lid switch is most likely the problem, if lid switch is visible under lid on right side then this is older design and common problem switch.
if you have console frame covers on front sides, snap off from top, a screw is at bottom front corners of console, remove and pull console forward and fold back. If lid swich is hidden then you will see it at left on top of cabinet with console folded back. a 5/16 screw holds a green ground wire to cab. remove and switch will unclip with lid up. If lid switch was visible under lid then you need to remove 2 brass clips holding cabinet on top of base to back, pry with screwdriver to unclip. undo harness connection on cabinet top, this is your lid switch connection. sw body is held by 2 phillips screws, harness tube held by clips on underside of cabinet top. ground wire with 5/16 screw present at sw body. New versions of this switch have metel shield attached.

Same problem machine won't go into spin cycle. I need to know how to get to the switch. Do I need to take the back off. My switch is on the right hand side. I thought I could flip the top up like a stove top. Nope. I stuck my finger in the hole and it shocked the hell out of me. 2 parts came off a silver piece...i guess its the guard to keep water out of the switch area and a grey piece with a spring on it...it looks like the piece that triggers all the action. Please help me get the top off so I can see what the problem is. Im a single mom and all the repair stores are saying up to $150 no less than $100 for labor and parts. I wanna fix it myself (Cheaper and more affordable for me)
