How can I bypass the lid lock assembly
Chris Boyle Profile
Hi Jake, Thank you for your question. The easiest way to bypass the lid switch assembly, PS3497627, is to use a thin magnet. The magnet will cause the washer to think that the lid is closed. Before bypassing the lid lock assembly on your washer, unplug it from the electrical outlet and turn the water off. Then, using a putty knife, release the clips securing the top panel and open it. The lid lock assembly should be on the underside of the lid panel. Place the magnet where the lid switch comes in contact with the cabinet. Then put everything back together and turn the water on and plug the washer back into the electrical outlet. If the washer is still not working correctly, try repositioning the magnet. If you need to place an order for a new lid switch assembly, customer service is open 7 days a week and anyone will be happy to assist you. Please feel free to give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you!

Why is my washer shaking violently?
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello Mike, thank you for reaching out. This issue is most often caused by an unbalanced load or worn-out suspension rods that support the drum. We would suggest checking the suspension rod kit, part number PS11703288. We hope this solves your problem!

Washing machine will not advance through cycles what's my problem
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello Tommy, thank you for the question. Start by checking the lid lock, part number PS3497627. Modern washers require a confirmed locked signal before advancing into agitation or spin, if the latch mechanism or its internal switch has failed the washer will pause indefinitely waiting for that signal. Inspect the strike for any visible damage and confirm the latch clicks firmly when the lid closes. If the washer is stalling specifically before the rinse phase the water inlet valve, part number PS11757114, may be failing to open and allow fresh rinse water in. The washer will wait until the tub reaches the correct water level before advancing. If the washer is stopping before spin the tub may still contain water from the wash cycle. A clogged drain pump or blocked drain filter prevents the pressure switch from confirming the tub is empty, halting all progress. Listen for the pump running during the drain phase and inspect the drain pump filter for any coins, debris, or small clothing items. We hope this is what you were looking for!

Defective lid latch - Cabrio Washer
97 of 124 people found this instruction helpful.
  • William from Wakefield, RI
  • Very Easy
  • 15 - 30 mins
  • Nutdriver, Screw drivers
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 inform ation 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.

  • Really Easy

Well, first investigated and found loose nut on drive clutch. First take off the two screws with nut drive then cover off using a screwdriver blade to snap off the cover. Then socket ratchet to take off the nut on drive clutch. take off belt by slowly rotating the drive gear. two screws that hold the electronics to the upper drive clutch and put aside, so you can snap off the cover for drive clutch on upper part with screwdriver and off the parts come and install whole unit back as took it apart. Line up the new upper clutch so that is position as was before. (Using parts diagram helps a lot as www. partsselect.com has for you or Maytag.com.) Then put the electronic part board back on and the gear and nut. Make sure it is tight by several attempts to make sure it's snugged up good and then slowly roll belt back on the pulley and motor drive. Put your cover guard back on with two screws and done.
