This assumes that you have a basic Kenmore / Whirlpool top load, direct drive, neutral drain (it doesn't spin until the pump removes most of the water) machine.

First, see the Sears parts site for your washer:
http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/index.action

Enter your model number(110.######) and you'll see a list of major sub-components with diagrams and parts.

It sounds as if your Lid Switch is broken.

Following is a Whirlpool PDF of the operation and maintenance of top load, direct drive washers with a section on how to by-pass the switch.

https://secured.whirlpool.com/Service/SrvTechAdm.nsf/2cd44500d572193285256a45004fd9d6/f7e2147fa98b28cf85257122007475cb/$FILE/L-55.pdf

Follow the first couple of sections of the following

ILLUSTRATED DESCRIPTION OF REMOVING CABINET THRU TRANSMISSION.

http://www.american-appliance.com/catalog/newsdesk_info.php?newsPath=16&newsdesk_id=137

for how to tilt the console back, use a short insulated piece of wire between the two outermost pins on the lid switch and try the spin cycle.

If the washer works, follow the instructions on removing the cabinet to get at the switch and the Sears site to see exactly where the switch is to replace it.

Bosch Avantixx6 VarioPerfect problems

If your Bosch Avantixx6 VarioPerfect washing machine is beeping and the light is cycling through the spin cycles without any other noise or action, it could indicate a potential issue with the machine. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:
  1. Check for error codes: Some Bosch washing machines display error codes on the control panel when a problem occurs. Look for any error codes or error messages that may be displayed. Refer to your washing machine's manual or the manufacturer's website to understand what the specific error code means and how to address it.
  2. Check the door/lid: Ensure that the door or lid of the washing machine is securely closed. If the door is not closed properly, the machine may not start or may display an error. Open the door and close it firmly, making sure it latches properly.
  3. Check water supply: Ensure that the water supply to the washing machine is turned on and there is an adequate water supply. If the machine doesn't detect sufficient water, it may not start or may display an error. Check the water inlet hoses and the water supply valves to ensure they are properly connected and not blocked or kinked.
  4. Power cycle the machine: Turn off the washing machine and unplug it from the power source. Wait for a few minutes, then plug it back in and turn it on. This power cycle may help reset any temporary glitches or errors in the machine.
  5. Contact customer support: If the issue persists and you are unable to identify the cause or resolve it on your own, it's recommended to contact Bosch customer support or a qualified appliance repair technician.

My defy Daw 365 front loader washing machine doesn't start. The prewash indicating light stays on and the "door" light stay on. how to solve this problem

If your Defy DAW 365 front loader washing machine is not starting and the prewash indicating light and door light are staying on, there could be a few potential causes for this issue. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:
  1. Check the door: Ensure that the door of the washing machine is securely closed and latched. If the door is not closed properly, the washing machine will not start.
  2. Check the water supply: Make sure that the water supply to the washing machine is turned on and that there is adequate water pressure. The washing machine will not start if there is no water supply or insufficient water pressure.
  3. Check the filter: Check the filter located at the bottom of the machine for any clogs or blockages. A clogged filter can prevent the washing machine from starting.
  4. Check the power supply: Make sure that the washing machine is properly connected to a power source and that the outlet is functioning. You can try plugging another appliance into the same outlet to confirm that it is working.
  5. Restart the machine: Try unplugging the washing machine from the power source for a few minutes, then plug it back in and try starting it again.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, it may be a problem with the control board or another internal component of the washing machine. In this case, it may be necessary to contact a professional technician for repair or replacement.

Hello Mohiddin,
The most probable cause of your troubles is the lid switch, the washer will fill and agitate with the lid open but the lid must be closed for it to spin(yes i know the lid is closed but if the switch is defective it doesnt think it is closed)

Hope this helps
Good luck,Gene

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
There is likely to be a problem with either the door solenoid/lock or the 'door closed' sensor requiring attention I suggest BUT get in touch with your vendor/supplier/manufacturer's service desk as (I presume) it is still under guarantee/warantee!!!
If this has assisted and/or clarified the situation for you please consider a 4 thumbs up on our rating.
Thanks and good luck!
