Easy Repair, Great website to help me find the perfect part.
The part was exactly what I needed and was the easiest to replace - It took 5 minutes! Thank you for helping me figure out what was wrong with the washer and what part I needed for my washer. This saved me a ton of $$$! I didn't have to buy a new washer or even pay a repairman!
Here is the video tutorial I watched to fix it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2xVnnqhBu0

Tub will not drain or spin. Lid switch has continuity. How can I tell if hose is clogged or lid switch is defective. Please advise.
For model number HTWP1000M0WW
Hi Ray, Thank you for the question. You can remove the hose and run water through to see if there is a blockage. You have already tested the switch for continuity. I suggest testing the timer. It might not be sending it to the next cycle to spin and drain. Hope this helps!

The washer operates and agitates correctly until it gets too the spin cycle , the water drains out completely but does not spin, I lift the lid a little and close it i can hear the switch clicking and the motor trying to rotate about 1/16 th of a turn but that’s all.
For model number WDSR2120J6WW

When the door open the machine drains and keeps going with the process, it does not spin but water is drained and refilled. Isn't supposed to completely stop when the door open?
For model number GCSR2090H9WW
Hello Fernando thank you for writing .
Yes it is usually coming to a stop once you open the lid. So you should check the lid switch for defect, you can do this with a multimeter. Part Number : PS5135698 is in the list of compatible items for your model. Hope this helps . Please contact us anytime.
