Thank you for your video. The washer would spin sometimes and other times not. I went to take the switch out and the clip broke, so I have to get a new one. Cleaned the switch and was able to wedge it in and connect it to get my clothes spun out. It worked. Will wait on new part before I do any more laundry. Really appreciate your help!

Yes, you can use a piece of insulated wire stripped on both ends and jump the two wires that aren’t green. Then put it on spin.

You can test whether your switch is working by removing it from the cabinet, plug the switch in, select spin and pull the knob out then move the black part of the switch with your finger until it clicks. The machine should start spinning if the switch is operating correctly. Thanks for watching!

Yes it does. The switch is real easy to replace but you must raise the lid to do it. There is a stiff wire that actuates the switch when the lid closes. If it is bent too far down it won’t engage the switch. If it is installed correctly you will hear the switch click as the lid closes.

Im so thinking this is what wrong with my washer. Its just like this one. The only thing is it spins sometimes and sometimes more than not. I have to shake it and play with the lid. When it works I can hear this clunk and then it spins. When I dont hear it then it doesnt spin. Sometimes it starts to spinbut, then stops. Does that make sense? Do you think this is my problem? 😢

Slow dow, the washing machine is a champ! I got mine second hand, have had it for about 8 years, AND I live in an old house that the washer and dryer are outdoors on a covered patio (definitely not in a climate controlled area, but until this issue, it keeps washing!.It’s tough AF!
