Washer does not drain and spin as it should. I replaced the belt this morning, but it sounds to me like there is a problem with the timer starting the spin cycle as it should.
For model number WTW4950XW2

Hi Neal, Thank you for your question. If the washer is not draining or spinning, the issue is likely the lid switch and you will need to test it with a multi-meter to see if it is working correctly. Set your multi-meter to Rx1, and touch the probes to the terminals. You are testing for continuity and should receive a reading of zero. If your test results do not match those above, you will need a replacement lid switch. We hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day.

Hi Lisa, thank you for reaching out. Based on the description, the issue is with the control board, part number PS3653306. The electronic control board manages the washer's functions such as filling, washing, draining and spinning. We would recommend checking the board to fix the issue. We hope this solves your problem!

Lid Lock light blinking, machine will not start
A detailed Service Technician Service Manual is hidden inside the machine on the front panel. It is hidden by the bleach dispenser input. It gives a list of fault codes and instructions for calibration after repair, resetting fault codes, and a manual test mode for stepping the machine through each mode on command. The Tachometer failed which would not let the machine come up to maximum spin speed. The tachometer is part of the solenoid actuator that shifts the transmission. It is not specifically called out in the manual. Any failure causes the lid lock light to blink which gives the appearance of a lid lock failure

Defective lid latch - Cabrio Washer
The instructions that came with the part were worthless. Essentially, unplug, put in new part, plug it back in. I spent a considerable amount of time on the internet and finally found a video showing how to open the top. Unlike other models, it is held down by clamps in the back rather than clips in the front. Once finding this information the installation was simple. Remove the clamps and the back of the console, slide the top forward and lift, remove and replace the lock and reassemble. You don't even have to remove the hoses.
