The washer works but wont go into a drain cycle. I check the drain housing on the motor it is not blocked. I think its the motor switch that changes the direction. Does sound right ?
For model number Whirlpool LSQ8511KQ0
Hi Sean,
Thank you for your question. If the washer is not draining, there are some parts that you will need to check to see which ones are causing the issue. You will need to check the lid switch, the direct drive water pump, the direct drive motor coupling, the clutch assembly and the lid strike. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Is this part the relay switch.?
For model number 11029522801
Hi Jack, thank you for your question. This would be your driver motor switch. I believe that sometimes it is referred to as the relay. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.
