Question about Whirlpool LSB6200PQ Top Load Washer

Washer stopped in the middle of a cycle

My whirlpool LSB6200pq has stopped in the middle of a cycle. I read another forum and and it pointed to a bad timer. Does it need to be drained first and then restarted? I have replaced the pump before because of a leak so I ruled that out. Could the drain hose be blocked? Thanks for your asssistance

I wouldn't be so quick to replace the timer as those rarely go bad. Start simple and check the lid switch. On whirlpoos they sometimes shift position and dont always close when the lid is closed

My Whirlpool Toploader washer model LSR8233JO1 stops at rinse cycle after draining. I have to manually advance it to the spin cycle and sometimes it won't spin.

Dawntm,
It is possible that you have a timer issue since you say you are having to manually advance the timer. There is a small motor mounted on the timer that normally advances the timer and for some reason, possibly a burned contact, it is not advancing from that point. You might need to call in a repair tech. Hope this helps!

Machine will start off in the wash cycle and adds water to the tub and agitates it, but won't drain the water out.

Your lid switch is likely faulty. If it does not click when you open and close the lid, it is bad. Access to the switch is gained by sliding a putty knife under each end cap to release clips and hinging the timer console up and back.

Hi, I'd like to help diagnose your problem but I may need a bit more information. Based on what you stated, I assume you have a top loading WHR washer with an electromechanical timer... the kind that you turn and it clicks. Anyway, you stated that the washer stopped in the middle of the cycle and that simply opening and closing the lid would fix it for a while. I suspect that your lid safety switch may be cracked and isn't being actuated by the plunger on the lid. If this is the case, the washer would function properly until it reached the point in the cycle where it should spin. Then it would stop at that point in the cycle. This makes sense that opening and closing the lid might "fix" it for a while. Also, if the switch got bad enough that opening / closing the lid didn't work anymore, you could rotate the timer dial just past the spin area and the cycle would continue. Have you noticed the clothes are wetter at the end of the cycle?

Anyway, check the lid switch first and then repost if you rule it out.

Good luck.

Will agitate, but won't drain or spin. Control timer seems to stop at that point of the cycle.

Sounds like a bad timer to me. Try a different cycle like permanent press or any other cycle to see if you have the same problem
