BooshieDaddy & ronnie2042 I would like to pass this along. I found a web sight for the testing and repair of the Drive motor switch (my centrifugal switch), it also has prices, parts diagrams, and prices for my LSQ8512KQ0, which is the Ultimate Care ll, same guts as yours, I believe. Since the coupling is alright, that probably means the gearbox didn't bind. The prices are ridiculous, I added up just the one page for the motor and gear box and it came to like $500.! You wouldn't want to build one at home! The switch is $55., the gear case $143. and the drive motor is $111.83. On some of the models you can't buy the switch separately, you have to get it with the motor. They have a place where you can enter your P/N and find out though. The other neat feature is you get step by step instructions for everything, removing case, water pump, ect...It's www.repairave.com/washerrepair_wpl_motorswitch.asp, hope this helps....

The symptoms you describe are typical of a broken lid switch. The lid switch is located under the washer top on the right hand side. It is activated through a slot by a small plastic piece on the lid called a "lid strike". Make sure the lid strike is still installed and not broken. Make sure the lid switch itself is not loose, as well. There are two mounting screws along the washer tub opening that hold it in place. If the screws become loose the switch will not make contact with the lid strike when the lid is closed. If you need to replace the switch or lid strike, the parts are available at searspartsdirect.com. Just type in your model number and look under the "Washer Top and Lid" heading on the next page. The lid switch is listed as item number 22 (part #3355806) and the lid strike is listed as item number 16 (part #358684). Both parts combined will cost you about $30. If you have further questions and/or require additional assistance, please let me know. I hope this helps you.

i also had the same problem, and it ended up being the coupler. It was not hard to replace, it cost me about 19.00. I didn't follow full recomende instructions. I tipped the washer backwards. Removed the drain pump and the motor itself. Then I removed the old coupling and placed the new one. The washer is working like new...
