Why does my washing machine unlock itself in mid-cycle?

The washer seems to function fine in the gentle cycle. However, in the normal or heavy cycle here is what happens: The machine begins as it should, it locks washes, initially spins. It is right after the rinse cycle that it unlocks itself (the lid can be raised and the light goes out). It pumps but will not spin. I have tried using a very light load, unplugging to reset the machine and nothing works.

Sorry but I think you will have to call the repairman on this one. Hope it is still in warranty.

Testimonial: "Sadly, it is out of warranty by about a month."

Washer heavy duty cycle issue

Lid Switch Assembly

If the washer stops mid cycle the lid switch assembly might be defective. This is a very common problem. The lid switch assembly can fail either mechanically or electrically. Test any electrical switches with an Ohm meter for continuity. The switches should have continuity according to their design.

Water Inlet Valve

If the washer stops mid cycle the water inlet valve cold water side may have failed. Most washers have a cold water rinse and so if they can't fill with cold water they just sit indefinitely waiting for the cold water to enter. If there is cold water to the water inlet valve and the cold water works in other parts of the cycle - or to make warm water - the valve is not the problem.
