Your shouldn't have to remove the lid all the way. You should be able to replace the switch by just propping it up after it's out of the spring clips.

My model is Sears Kenmore 97962, my lid lock is broken, how can I find the parts to prepare? Thanks

97962 is not the complete model number; it's missing the manufacturer's prefix and the version suffix. SearsPartsDirect lists several laundry center models that start with 417.97962. One parts list is here: https://www.searspartsdirect.com/model/hegp8tulfg-000582/kenmore-41797962700-laundry-center-parts .The lid lock assembly for this washer is shown on the lower cabinet/top diagram as part 50, https://www.searspartsdirect.com/product/26x50rk2z5-0026-417/id-134101800 .

I hope this helps.

Washer Dryer Stacked Combo won't start and didn't drain properly.

Hello Joshua, thank you for your post!
From my understanding your Frigidaire laundry center is not starting and did not drain properly. It is possible that this could be a miscommunication within the laundry center and a reset may help clear that out for you. In order to reset your laundry center you would need to disconnect power from it for at least ten minutes. If that does not help your laundry center you may need to seek assistance from a professional technician for proper repairs. I hope this is helpful and if you should need further assistance please feel free to reconnect. -Matt

Ran one load of laundry in washer, started another and the unit just beeps 3times and I push to reset but lid won't lock or start cycle. I tried moving dials to wake up machine but got no luck

My GE top loader has a little "finger" on the lid , when lid is closed it depress a switch inside a little hole , Now YOU with a wood pencil you turn machine on and press the little switch inside the hole, it may have dropped too low for the "plunger". the washer should start. now tighten the screws for that switch.

If the motor is running and it won't drain or spin, then the motor coupler has failed and needs replacing. Here is a link to the part.
Here is a video to show you how to replace the coupler. If you could post the model number that is located on the unit I can get you the service manual to help you a little better.

One of the three things that tumble the laundry in the dryer is loose--it is making alot of noise--how do I tighten it

Hi,
I think you are talking about the large ribs that prevent clothes from just sliding in the drum.
They are available as a spare, so are usually screwed in from outside the drum.
To fix your problem, turn off and unplug dryer.
Remove back pannel screws holding the lid on, and slide back the lid.
Rotate the drum by hand internally untill the faulty blade is at the top. You should be able to see the screws that need tightening.
Replace parts when finished.

GE WSM2480TBAW Spacemaker Laundry, Won't Drain or Spin

Hi,
you need to remove the slanted panel between the washer and the dryer. There will be 2 screws holding the top of the washer to the cabinet. Locate the screws on the back edge of the washer top along with the 2 brackets that hold the top.
Once the brackets have been removed, the washer top panel will pull toward you and lift off of the cabinet. You will be able to see the lid switch and test it. If you are testing the lid switch for continuity, remamber to activate the switch while testing. If the switch shows an open circuit, replace the switch.
Please let me know if this hhelps you at all or if I can assist you further.

Thanks
Vic
