Lid will not stay open for loading & unloading.

It sounds like the pressure rises too high.
Did you set the pressure correctly? Does it unload at the right pressure?
If not, there's a problem with the load/unload system and the inlet valve stays open
call IR for more help

need new hinges

Sounds like trunk lid struts are faulty

Hi rcdrivertim,

I believe the problem is the Lid Switch. Find it here:
http://www.appliancecarestore.net/whirlpool-amp-kenmore-genuine-washer-lid-switch-.html

If the Lid switch does not work, the machine will not switch over to cycling, thus not work.

You could always test the Lid switch by switching the attached wires to continuity, also known as bridging.

Hope this helps :-)

If this answered solved your problem, please accept it. If it did not, please comment and I will help you further.

Hi...Tape jam inside your Camcorder ...fi you look careful on the side of the door tray look for a little hole it release manually the door but carefully remove the tape.. it possible the tape is unroll around the mecanism see if you cant release the pinch roller inside it a little black roiling rubber,it holding the ribbon tape

The safety switch that the lid engages when you close the lid is bad, it won't spin but will wash fine. Next your pump could have a clog which you should clear, third your external drain could be clogged.

You have a bad pully cam or brake

If there's a loud thumping noise during the spin cycle, the load of clothes has probably gotten unbalanced. Open the lid, redistribute the clothes in the washer, then re-start it. Repeat these steps if necessary.
