Sorry to be off topic but does someone know of a method to get back into an instagram account?? I stupidly lost the password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me!
@Orion Malik Thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and Im in the hacking process now. Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
Replacing the timer is certainly an option, but so it fixing the problem with the timer. The timer can be opened up and then just clean the contacts. Inside the 'timer' (which is really a motorized switch) is just a clock motor and an assembly of leaf springs. The contacts get burnt from all the Off/On activity. An emery board or sandpaper will work if you don't have the proper contact cleaning tool. Once a washer/dryer is ~8+ years old, new parts become hard to come by. We just fixed our own timer this evening. $230 for a New timer, problem though is that the normal appliance stores say the part is not available. 4 used ones on eBay $50 - $120 and 1 old, NIB timer for $230!?. Husband and I fixed ours in about two+ hours. This video is just fine but if the timer Motor is still working, there is no need to replace the timer assembly, just open it up and clean the contacts. What do you have to lose? Enjoy!
Thank you so much, I'm 90% sure you're on the right track for my machine, it just quit working mid cycle. Every position works except for the final rinse/spin. Well I guess I know what my next project is! 🙃
If anyone happens to find this, before you pull your timer out check if your lid switch is clicking. Found another video about replacing it so I decided to check mine and nope no click, luckily a screwdriver shoved in the hole did make it click and let me finish this load. Bonus new switches are $20 instead of $200+ for a used timer.
I have a compact washer with buttons and the time is on a screen, but, my machine drains first time and not second time I can get it to finally drain by blowing in rinse hose. I already installed a new pump. Any ideas please..
Thank you so much for this video. My 25 year old Whirlpool quit when it was time to Rinse and I searched that problem and your video came up. That was exactly the problem. Ordered the new $100 timer control and just installed it and it's working perfectly! I really appreciate your taking the time to film this. June of 2024
Thanks Mike B. I was excited that this is almost identical to my washing machine. Then you brought out the REPLACEMENT part. I wanted a home fix...which is what I got; but, let me describe my problem more. Like you, my machine did not go into the rinse or spin cycles; but, the timer DID continue until the next space on the dial, I followed your instructions to take off the timer dial. I used a can of compressed air to spray it out a little in the holes on the back and beneath the the dial. I reattached the ground wire to the metal part of the cover and plugged it back in. I set the dial on "spin" and popped out the knob. It immediately went into the spin cycle. Thank you for the helpful video. I hope this helps others as well.

Thanks for your comments and of course this video. The replacement timers are quite expensive for such an old mechanical style of unit. The cleaning of the timer with compressed air sounds like a plan and very likely the fault of our Inglis. Now twice, the timer stops without draining the drum. Works after manually starting it again where it was last. Appreciate the advice. Thanks.
Thank you so much for this video -- you gave a clear explanation & I was able to fix the machine & get on with my weekend (and all those loads of kids' laundry)

Hello I enjoyed your demonstration. Can you please show how to remove the front of the admiral washer? The water comes out very dirty and we think it needs to be cleaned on the inside. Thanks
I knew my experience custom building my PCs would come in handy ;) I just have to figure out if it's really the timer but that's my gut after watching/reading the comments. Will let ya know if I can figure it out without buying new stuff (because really, I'd probably buy both a new washer/dryer but didn't plan that on doing that yet).
I watched this video and thought I had a bad timer or water inlet valve. After some checking it turns out I had a bad FloodSafe hose from the cold waterside. When it went to rinse it received no cold water and just sat there. Luckily the fix was inexpensive and this video did help me to eliminate the items that were working fine. -jz

Great video - both this and the one on the lid switch. My question is, how to determine if it's the lid switch or the timer that needs replacing? If it helps, I have a KitchenAid washer, model KAWS850LQ1. Mine stops at rinse, but if I manually advance the timer knob about 1/8" it will often (but not always) finish the cycle. Thanks.
Branton Lachman Hey Branton, thanks for checking out the video. Great question & the symptoms led us to the lid switch first...I tested the lid switch and found that to work as it should.

@@DIYwithMichaelBorders Aloha guys Ive replaced both the lid switch and the timer on my 80 series and still the washer stops after filling the rinse mode. If I advance the timer manually it finishes the cycle if not the timer eventually times out sometimes draining the rinse water but wont spin.
FlyFishingMolokai Thanks for watching, have you verified your drain hose is clean and clear not allowing any blockage of drain water. Also, how is your water pressure coming into the washer? Is the water coming into your washer the same pressure or speed it was the day you purchased washer... or has it slowed down? Your screens inside water valve may be clogged. If you clean your screens, which are right inside where are your Hot and cold water lines connect to the washer are...& it doesn’t fix the problem, you will need to replace your water valve.

I 'fixed' my LG front loading washer which was stuck on rinse and wouldn't drain and move on to spin cycle. Unplug the washer. On this particular washer there is a small panel on the front lower left. You have to pop it open with a butter knife. Inside is a small black plastic plug on the left and what looks like a larger black plastic dial on the right. These are filters that probably need to be dealt with. Be prepared with towels and a bucket or large bowl since the washer is full of water. First the small black plug and pull it out gently. It is attached to a flexible tube. Point it a your bowl or bucket, remove the black cap and let the water drain. There will probably be some sand or guck. This is slow, so once it drains clear you can plug it back up, push back in place and deal with the filter on the right. But you might want to the water in the washer come out this slow way because when you begin to remove the filter on the right side the water in the washer will gush out. It's much easier to deal with if your washer is on a pedestal with a drawer underneath so you can position a bowl to catch the water. So remove the filter on the right side. In my case it was clogged with two bobby pins, a whole cloth napkin (that I hadn't seen in years) and a whole lot of lint. Put it back together. That did the trick for me. Side note: another fix - if LG washer shows error code LE - unplug, wait 90 seconds. Rotate drum manually to left 4 times then manually to the right 4 times. Plug back in. This resets something and has worked for dozens of people.

Michael Weber Thanks for watching & yes it is. The internal design of the timer assists in coordinating the washing machine through its cycle. At any point, any one of those internal mechanisms inside the timer wear out or fail, the timer will no longer be able to continue guiding the washer through all of its cycle. In other words, the timer guides the washer through wash, rinse, and spin...but can stop at any point during that full cycle if any of the internal timer parts fails. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the video. I have a very similar washer that I think might be having the same problem. One thing I want to try before I buy a new timer, though, I have read that there may be a sock or something stuck in the drain. I read there should be a plate on the back near the outlet hose that I can remove and check the drain but I can't find it on mine. Since you have such a similar model, I was hoping you could tell me how to check the drain to see if it is clogged?
Tobias Vargrim Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your experience Tobias! To gain access to the internal parts that the hoses connect to, you will need to remove entire washer shell/case. You will then be able to remove hoses to check & see if anything is clogging! Keep us posted!

Good video, but in my case it ended up being the lid switch. The plastic broke at the screw holes and the washer thought the lid was open. Had I bought the timer it was $87... Lid switch only $10!!! #Winning

Our washer stops about once every couple months at the end of the wash cycle. After turning the knob, open and close the lid.. About 20 to 30 minutes later it starts running again and finishes the cycle. And is good for another few weeks

It's been my experience that a defefective lid switch or loose lid screws are the most common causes. The timer won't advance if the lid switch isn't closed. Very seldom would be a timer problem be the cause of this problem.
Bob McDonald Thanks for checking out the video Bob! In our case, the poor Timer called it quits 😲. After replacing Timer, Washing Machine was back up & running.

When replacing the first part (silver in this case) dial, can it only go on one way? I mean could you replace it incorrectly where the indicator mark is not aligned correctly or do the grooves make it so it can only be replaced in one position? I'm talking about the piece that is underneath the button. Also, is this the only possible thing that could be causing the washer to stop mid cycle?
Annony Mouse Thanks for checking out the video Annony Mouse! Great question. The knob assembly is designed to fit on the housing in only one position. This is to prevent any confusion in regards to the position of Knob and position of Timer. To answer your 2nd question: No...and I’m so glad you asked! At any point the “Lid Switch” becomes faulty, it will not allow the cycle to spin. This is a safety feature built into the Machine to alleviate water flying ALL OVER THE HOUSE with the washer lid open 😱...That definitely would be a lengthy clean up! With this said... once the lid switch fails... the cycle no longer allows the washer to enter the spin cycle. Below is a link to a video that runs you through the step-by-step process on how to replace your “lid switch” and get the washer back up and running properly. I always recommend replacing the “Timer” and the “Lid switch” since both parts can cause this issue and in most cases both parts have a life expectancy of five years. Keep me posted on your progress.

I have replaced the timer and lid switch and the washer still stops at rinse cycle. Anything else I need to replace? I’m totally lost now. I have a Kenmore 70 series.
C McNabb Thanks for watching & sharing your experience! After reading your comments & understanding that you have already replaced your lid switch and your timers, an additional part it may be is your water intake valves. These valves can clog over the years of operation and in the event that they clog...your water intake will obviously slow down and or stop completely. As of now it’s still sounds like your water is coming in and out of the machine just fine however as the screens inside the valves gather more and more grime in debris... it can definitely lead to the timer, lid switch, & cycle duration being interfered with. Below is a link to a video that shows the step-by-step process on replacing the part that has the valves. Definitely check it out! th-cam.com/video/DiPFZSMiBn8/w-d-xo.html Keep us posted!

Would you know what's going on with my machine if it stops working when the dial gets to "Pause Cool Down" feature, is it something serious? I am able to switch the dial to Spin and that works but every time I start a new cycle it just stops at Pause Cool Down. I have a Kenmore washing machine, Any suggestions are appreciated!
Yana Ilyaguyev Thanks for watching & sharing your experience! This is common with Kenmore washers more than others. This is signs of a faulty section within your Timer & once the cycle gets to the point of cool down, it doesn’t know to continue due to the dead spot in Timer sequence. We recommend replacing old Timer with new Timer. This should ultimately fix your hick-up & allow washer to complete a full cycle efficiently & effectively. Let’s start there! Keep us posted!

Just purchased a new Crosley washing machine..nothing fancy.. It will fill with water, drain, but will not rinse or spin. I have noticed that the lid-lock light does not come on when it starts. Once it drains, the light goes back to wash.. If I manually set the machine to rinse & spin, it will work. What could this be?
Tanna Weaver Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your comment and experience. If you are experiencing same issues as in this video, it's possible that your timer has begun to fault. It's also very possible that your Lid Switch has begun to fault. The lid switch can be tested and replaced cheaper. Attached is a video how to change lid switch. Keep me posted!

So my whirlpool top load washer will start fill, but then its like it can't switch over, it makes this weird clicking noise, & it usually eventually turns over, but its getting worse & taking much longer to click over. Is this due to a bad timer? It seems like every thing I've read about faulty/bad timers say that it just stops, but mine continues to make a clicking noise like its trying to move on but its stuck or its having a hard time pushing through.
Ashley Y Thanks for watching & sharing your experience! Is the ticking sound coming from the actual Timer itself? You are experiencing 1 of 2 issues... 1. Your timer is wearing out and beginning to work intermittently during the cycle...can lead to stop & go ticking... replacing your timer may get rid of this issue. 2. Your lid switch is wearing out and beginning to work intermittently. Once your wash cycle gets to the spin portion, your lid switch verifies that your actual lid is closed. It then sends an electrical signal to the timer to continue the cycle and begin spinning. If your lid switch is not working properly, the timer will not continue to the next stage of the cycle... this is a safety feature that does not allow the machine to spin with the lid open...which alleviates the machine throwing water all over your house...not good 😮. Replacing your lid switch is both repair friendly and cost friendly. Below is a link to our video changing lid switch. th-cam.com/video/1hTRc-_PnP8/w-d-xo.html We highly recommend replacing both parts at same time.

How do you know if the timer is bad ? I also made sure the filter are clean and that cold is connected in the right spot. Someone said it could be the little button that tells the machine if the lid is open or not , how do I check that. Because I cant afford to buy parts I dont need. I have an admiral washer and dryer. The dry doesnt always get warm . I was told if it was the heating element that that would just go out completely it wont get hot only some time it one way or the other. Sorry I'm a single lady and learning to be a diy. Gal. Appreciate any advise you may have and thank you
Thanks for checking out the video Tammy, great question! The Timer controls the “Cycle Flow” and continues to move the cycle through the steps. As the internal parts of the Timer begins to wear out...you see the washer stopping at either “Drain or Spin”... The Lid Switch is also a key part in the cycle...once you lower the Lid/door...you will hear a click. This click secures the electrical current and sends a message to the Timer to begin the Cycle. Also...once the cycle gets to the spin portion, the timer re-communicates with the lid switch to verify that the lid is closed for safety purposes...example: you do not want the washer to be spinning with the lid open...water will fly everywhere 😱 I recommend purchasing both the timer and the lid switch as they work together to move the washer through the cycle.

Hi thanks for the awesome video. Very thorough and easy to follow. Need your help or anyone in this comment section. Had an issue with the washer just stopping when it's suppose to go into the spin cycle. Tried it on low-med-high load. So I bought a timer. That didn't work, so I replaced the lid sensor. Not that either. So I am stuck trying to figure out how I am going to proceed to the next step. Any help would be greatly appreciated
p funk Thanks for watching, glad it helped. How is your water flow? When you start your cycle, your water comes into your washer through the valve. Over time, this valve clogs up decreasing the flow rate. This can cause your exact symptoms.

@@DIYwithMichaelBorders hi wow ty for responding. Yes the wateflow comes out through the valve. Does not seem to be any clogs. The water flow is perfect.
p funk Thanks for the reply. The next step is to verify your Drain Hose is clean & clear. A dirty and clogged hose will not allow the water to be drained efficiently...causing water pressure buildup which may cause the washer to stop mid cycle. 😎👍🔧🔩
I changed my shift actuator and lid switch and my machine still stopping on the rinse cycle have to manually set it to drain and rinse and push the start Botton for it to complete. I guess it may be the timer

Excellent video. My 18 year old Fridgeraire suddenly stopped draining and spinning. On the regular cycle it stops at a point, then doesn't progress through the cycle. I think it is not draining and when it stops at a particular point- it makes this noise, as if it's trying to move onto the next part of the cycle which comes from close to the timer area. If I move the timer a bit ahead, it continues to agitate but it still never spins. I have tried the other delicate cycle and there, it goes through the cycle but never spins at all. The knob will move from start to end without spinning - all it does it agitate. You can hear it want to do something and you hear some clicks but it won't spin. At the end of the wash, there is always a lot of water left - I am not sure if it is partly draining though since the water is about 6 inches deep always - to the same level at the end of the cycle each time. It must be partly draining since I expect if it didn't drain there would be more water? Any help in the comments from anyone would be appreciated!
Good morning, we are drinking our morning coffee answering any and all questions for the DIY community. Your symptoms are definitely in-line with a faulty Timer however, also in-line with a faulty Lid Switch. Our recommendation is to replace the Lid Switch first as it’s a more price friendly part. Below is a link to our video showing replacement of Lid Switch. th-cam.com/video/1hTRc-_PnP8/w-d-xo.html If replacing this part does not fix issue, it is time to replace your Timer. You may want to purchase both parts so you have the Timer handy if the Lid Switch replacement doesn’t fix issue. If Lid Switch fixes issue, you can return Timer...or you can replace both parts at the same time. New parts are always a great asset to the continued life of the unit. Please keep us posted, we are looking forward to hearing back from you. We DIYers need to stick together!!!!! 😎👍
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders Thankyou so much for your reply..but my washer is a front load washer so will it still be something similar to the lid switch for front loaders? I did a lot of research for my model and is the lid switch the same as "washer door lock and switch assembly?
@@AtheneNike1 Thanks for the reply, with front load, it’s possible that your door lock mechanism is faulty. This can be figured out by listening to the door lock mechanism after starting the cycle. If you hear the door lock mechanism make a clicking sound after the cycle starts, it is locking door & working as designed.
Thanks for watching & the lid switch & timer are the two parts that cause this issue. If it’s not the lid switch, it will definitely be the timer. Keep us posted, enjoy your night. 😎👍🔧🔩
hi... i have a maytag washer.. it wont drain the water. i know the lid switch works the tub will spin slowly. i replaced the belt thinking it was slipping and there was oily or rubbeize on the floor.. i thinking the motor not working right it cover in some grease i guess the motor is bad, now it washes great and once the water is out it spins.. what esle can i do?
Terry Sansom Hi Terry. Thanks for checking out the video. It is very possible that the belt was the main problem. As you mentioned, the belt can begin to slip as it ages and stretches out. Replacing the belt was a great choice. As far as the motor, is it making any unusual sounds or grinding noises. Have you noticed any change in tone with the washer? Any unusual, grinding, loud sounds can be an indication of the motors inner parts beginning to fail...but as you mentioned it's running great now. Keep me posted.

my Whirlpool washer will fill up with water but that's it, it will not agitate, drain water or spin, when you select your wash cycle it will fill with water and you can hear a humming noise coming from where the timer is and that's it. I had a washer full of clothes and water.
Thanks for checking out the video. Most of the time you run into your symptoms...your timer has faulted and is no longer receiving and sending the correct signals to all connected parts which in return, stops the cycle at random locations...NO FUN. I would try replacing your timer. Also, I recumbent replacing your lid switch as well because that acts as a safety precaution and will put a hold on the cycle near the rinse/spin portion once it fails. The lid switch is very inexpensive and takes 10 minutes to replace. Below is a link to my new video on replacing Lid Switch.

DIY With Michael Borders thank you so much I appreciate your speedy reply. I have an older whirlpool that yesterday would not drain or spin yet the rinse works fine. So I'll try these solutions tonight now that I don't have such a wet area to deal with. Again, many thanks
I have the same problem, will rinse but won't drain and go into spin, I heard the drain pump could be clogged most likely with a sock, checked mine but it was clear, so they say I need a new pump, ebay has them new for 5 to 20 dollars so no biggy, only I can't get my pump off the motor due to rust, it's also an older machine, whirlpool, any suggestions, if I cut it off will I still be able to put a new one on?
Jo W Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your comment and experience. That's no fun...rust is a pain! I recommend spraying rust eating solvent on rust areas. WD-40 is another option and let it sit and work into the rust overnight. I ran into rust issues recently...annoying haha. Keep me posted. Please Subscribe to the channel that would be awesome thanks again 😀👍
I discovered the washer stopped working ON the rinse cycle. It doesn't want to agitate either when I restarted the washing cycle. I do hear a humming sound when go go through the different modes. It does fill with water. Is it possibly the timer?
Chris Z. What’s up Chris Z. Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your experience. You are experiencing 1 of 2 issues... 1. Your timer is wearing out and beginning to work intermittently during the cycle...leading to the stop & go... replacing your timer may get rid of this issue. 2. Your lid switch is wearing out and beginning to work intermittently. Once your wash cycle gets to the spin portion, your lid switch verifies that your actual lid is closed. It Then sends an electrical signal to the timer to continue the cycle and begin spinning. If your lid switch is not working properly, the timer will not continue to the next stage of the cycle... this is a safety feature that does not allow the machine to spin with the lid open...which alleviates the machine throwing water all over your house...not good 😮. Replacing your lid switch is both repair friendly and cost friendly. Below is a link to my video changing lid switch Keep me posted!

We have a maytag washer and I did laundry as usual, so I left for work and came back hours later and the cycle just completely stopped at the spin portion so my clothes were just sitting in a pool of water. So I unplugged it and tried to reset it, but now my washer won't even turn on, let alone drain the water. I did unplug it for a minute and it did turn on, but only in the "sensing" portion of the cycle (the first step). It won't do anything but just sit there. I'm really frustrated and unsure what to do...
Hannah King Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your comment Hannah...so sorry you’re having trouble. Something has failed and we need to pin-point which part. Try toggling the cycle knob a tiny bit forward past the point that the wash cycle stopped...then push knob in and see if it starts the cycle again. If it does, it can be the “Timer” that has failed which you see in this video. The other option “however more likely if the cycle stoped at Spin” is the Lid Switch. The lid switch is very easy to replace and pretty inexpensive. I recommend purchasing your replacement parts from: repairclinic.com Either way, I would purchase both parts and replace them because the Lid Switch is pretty cheap and very easy to install. I have attached a video that shows the Step-By-Step on how to replace Lid Switch. Your washing machine is very important and we can definitely fix this together. Keep me posted on if it starts running after you move that knob slightly past where it stops...as I mentioned before.

Well this video is younger than my new washing machine but this is the exact problem. I have done the diagnostic cycle and the calibration cycle and this is more descriptive of my problem than anything else I have done to figure out this washing machine .. good thing it was free. 2020 is killing me! ☹️
Tabie Wade Thanks for checking out the video. The Timer controls the “Cycle Flow” and continues to move the cycle through the steps. As the internal parts of the Timer begins to wear out...you see the washer stopping at either “Drain or Spin”... The Lid Switch also is a key part in the cycle...once you lower the Lid/door...you will hear a click. This click secures the electrical current and sends message to Timer to begin the Cycle. Also...once the cycle gets to the spin portion, the timer re-communicates with the lid switch to verify that the lid is closed for safety purposes...example: you do not want the washer to be spinning with a lid open...water will fly everywhere 😱 I recommend purchasing both the timer and the lid switch as they work together to move the washer through the cycle. To order parts, Go to: repairclinic.com Keep me posted! Please subscribe to the channel and ring your TH-cam bell 🔔. 😎👍
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders that may be a big part of the problem because the lid switch appears to be broken. Thanks for your reply it clears things up a bit.
How would the water valve tie into everything? Not sure how it is that the normal cycle works fine on the wash portion of the cycle but then hang on the rinse portion of the cycle??
mclc432 Thanks for the question. The water valve has a screen inside each hot and cold connection point where your water lines secure themselves to the machine. Over the years, the screens gather dirt and grime and lead to a degraded water pressure entering the machine...weeeellll.... unfortunately this can trip your cycle and cause your cycle to stop. Hope this helps! 😎👍🔧🔩
I have a GE that does agitate but doesn't rinse/spin/drain. The timer makes noise and that's it. If I move the switch back to agitate it will once again wash. Does this sound like the timer is bad or can the pump be bad? The noise is definitely coming from the timer though and not the pump. Thanks you for any hep
I figured it out, I had a piece of towel lodged in the pump. It was very difficult to hear the pump turning on and off while trying to work with the timers typical noise in the foreground. When I removed the front panel it was clear as day when starting and stopping the machine. I figured I'd post in case someone else ever has the same issue and stumbles along my post. Thanks for your help
Water Detecting Croatia Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your comment and experience.

Why don't they sell the metal push to release spring clips that are stuck into the end caps of the control panel, separately? Ours are rusted and one broke and now i have to buy the whole endcap, just to get the spring? Or do you know if they do sell them individually? Thanks. Sorry,,was mistaken. I found a sears schematic that shows the clip separate. But come on,,,16 bucks a piece? Insane.

@@DIYwithMichaelBorders Thanks Mike. Yeah, I've delt with repair clinic. They are helpful. Always the way it is,,the specific appliance you have they never show. I'm working in a Kenmore elite,by whirlpool and one of the metal clips was rusty and broke when I opened it. Dryer too. They're making a fortune on clip sales. 16 bucks a piece? Crazy. Thanks for the write back,, I'll bell y'all. Thanks.
My washer seems to be having issues draining on certain cycles. In addition, recently when I have put it on spin after it has ran to get rid of the excess water, it will sometimes thump and shake like crazy. Do you know what the problem could be or what I could like for? Thanks!
Erik Adamson Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your experience. You are experiencing 1 of 3 issues... * Drain Pump * Lid Switch * Timer...which is mentioned in this video. 1.

Great video I have same problem and in researching this I see alternative issue with the lid switch may be needing replacement. Did you diagnose that before buying a replacement part? Thank you.
Karuna Rockwell Thanks for checking out the video. The symptoms led us to the lid switch first...we tested the lid switch and found that to work as it should.

The problem I'm having is mine stops agitating during the rinse and smoke comes up around the drum. After I turn it off and let it sit and cool off, it finishes just fine. Any ideas? The water inlet valve does need replaced, but I wouldn't think that's causing this. It is an early 90's Amana. I replaced the belt a year ago, when I thought that might have been where the smoke came from. The belt was still intact, but worn.
Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your comment and experience Sassy Frassy! Its very possible that the belt is begging to wear out and stretch...its kinda hard to really inspect the belt and its tension when installed...since you have already replaced the belt, it should definitely last longer than a year... right haha...one would hope! Kind of a bummer if the belt has already worn out...You might need to put a new belt on it...unfortunately.. Its also possible that you are experiencing a Drain Pump beginning to malfunction. As you know, that Drain pump is an electrical unit that spins ext rely fast...and can seize over time.

Michael, For some reason I haven't been getting my notifications. Thank you for responding. It had been shutting down during the rinse cycle, but now it shuts down during the agitation of the wash cycle. I've started shutting it off after it fills, let it sit an hour then it seems to run through the cycle fine. I can hear a rattle sometimes. Could it be the bearings getting too hot? When the belt was replaced, my daughter got ahead of me and had it back together and put back in place before I mentioned wanting to inspect the bearings. I didn't want to pull it back out. It's in a really tight place.
Thanks for watching....the old timer finally stopped shifting the wash cycle to the rinse portion of the cycle. Easy fix! Works great! Please Subscribe to the channel that would be awesome thanks again!
Susan Francis Washing Machine problems are no fun because of how important they are to us! Since your Cycle is not filling and rinsing, it’s very possible that it’s your Timer which is shown in this video. In addition to that, below is are two video links that shows a possible blockage in the Water Inlet Valve & Hose...we ran into this. Once the cycle got to the point of filling up with water and rinsing, it stopped...and that was because of the clogged Water Inlet Valve & Hose. Check this video out below 😎👍 1. Clogged Water Inlet Valve th-cam.com/video/DiPFZSMiBn8/w-d-xo.html 2. Clogged Water Hose th-cam.com/video/DwJLd7xwaUM/w-d-xo.html
My washer stops after after rinse and won’t drain in that cycle. I can turn the timer to spin and it will drain and spin, just not in the same cycle. Confused if this is a timer or lid switch problem. Kenmore 80 series top load model.
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. You can test lid switch with volt meter. If you do not have a voltmeter, we recommend replacing lid switch first as it is the more friendlier price & replacement process. If that doesn’t work, it is time to replace your Timer. Please keep us posted, us fellow DIY’ers need to stick together! Enjoy your day. 😎👍🔧🔩
Hey mate, I changed my water pump for my Simpson Esprit 650 but it seem to drain on a smaller load but had something heavier it doesn't seem to drain. So could it be the Timer exactly how you changed your one? I have a feeling it is since I already changed the water pump.
Thanks for checking out the video! Usually when you run into load differences that alter your drain performance, it deals with the clutch. What might be happening is your clutch is beginning to slip with heavier loads. At the opposite side of the spectrum, your clutch is still performing great with light loads. Below is a link that might help...its both the exact model but still might help. Keep me posted!

I have a LTE6234DQ1 Whirlpool DOUBLE STACKABLE COMBO UNIT. First the dryer kept running and wouldn't shut off on it's own. So I replaced the dryer timer the first time I tried to use the washer it wouldn't drain out. It Haas a directdrive pump and it worked ok before I changed the timer on the dryer (yes it is the correct one) . I have also now changed the washer timer thinking the excessive heat may have damaged it. Still not working lid switch sounds ok. All wires in correct place. Any suggestions?
Rick Yost Thanks for watching & we hope the video helped. It’s very possible that your Lid Switch has failed. In most cases, a failed lid switch will still make that normal clicking sound however the internal parts and electrical sensor that sends that electrical message to your timer informing it that the lid is closed....has failed. A new lid switch may solve your problem. We really enjoy making these helpful videos for our fellow DIY’ers. Many more DIY videos to come! 😀 Let us know if you have any questions.

Lid switch tested ok. I got it working now . Blew through the hose for level control switch and pulled off the violet wire on the dryer timer and reconnected it thinking it wasn't making good contact. Now it's working fine. What ever it was it's fixed now. Thanks for your input.
Hello again! I read your comment just now, and as I was editing a reply, somehow I seemed to have lost your comment! How odd.. thanks for replying back so quickly in the morning whilst having your coffee! I have a font loader so I am assuming that you instead of a lid switch for a top loader it is the same as the " washer door lock and switch assembly", for a front loader. Also a very strange thing- this morning for no reason, without me filling the small tub for the fabric softner a moderate amount of fabric softner just reappeared on it's own in the little dispensing unit - it was light blue and clean - almost as if I had added some of it just then....I have been overdoing the softner off late- so could it just be a blocked drainage pipe? I'm guessing back pressure is needed for this to happen but maybe it just happens if you leave a lot of water ( currently six inches deep) still in the machine....
Thanks for the reply, door lock mechanism is very possible. Once you turn the machine on and start the cycle, if you hear a clicking sound near the door area, your door lock mechanism is working as designed.
So my washer won't drain, spin, or rinse it just swirls the water and clothes around for a few minutes and stops... what should I do? Are the parts expensive?
Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your comment and experience LaKayla! Its very possible that your Timer needs to be replaced...as mentioned in this video. Its also very possible that you need a new Lid Switch...I have added a link below to a video that shows the step by step process showing how to replace the Lid Switch. I recommend going to RepairClinic.com to purchase both the (Timer) part and the (Lid Switch) part. Both parts are very cost affordable and easy to install. After replacing both the Timer and Lid Switch, You should be good to go! Keep me posted! Please Subscribe to the channel and turn on your TH-cam notifications that would be awesome thanks again!

So I replaced the water valve assuming that was the problem. On the normal cycle only hot water comes out. When I switch to cold it just stops. Switch it to hot and it’s coming out. However it proceeds to wash and once it hits rinse it won’t proceed further. What could that be?
Thanks for watching, the valve screens being clogged are the most common cause however since you have a brand new valve and screens, it’s possible that your cold water shutoff valve is not fully open.

I have this same problem and I saw a video about items stuck on the drain pump. I went through the steps and sure enough found baby's wash cloth in there. Got that out though I have the problem fixed but not yet. Could that problem cause the time to work? Saw some videos about resetting the motor but did not seem to be for my older Whirpool Estate washer. I do not want to go buy a new times just to find out I have another problem. Please advise
thafunkhouse Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your comment and experience. If you are experiencing same issues as in this video, it's possible that your timer has begun to fault.

marcel pilich Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your comment Marcel. After replacing your Timer, you will begin a wash cycle at the very beginning. In the even that you have a load of cloths already in the washer that has been through 1/2 the cycle...but then stopped due to failed Timer...it's best to just re-run the cloths through a full wash with new Timer.

Hi, can you help me? After a power outage while the washing machine was running (right before it hit rinse), it continously stops there. It washes well, rinses a few times, stops at the last rinse and doesn't drain.
Luluta lulu Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your experience. You are experiencing 1 of 3 issues... 1. The power outage may have sent an electrical surge through the system & possibly failed a part... * Drain Pump * Lid Switch * Timer...which is mentioned in this video. There are a lot of electrical wiring that feeds inside to all the parts & again, it’s possible that an electrical current went through your system during the power outage that exceeded normal electrical range...thus failing a part... in my opinion this is very unlikely so what I recommend is...unplug in your washing machine completely from the wall and let it sit for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, Plug the washing machine back in and run a test cycle to see if you experience the same issue. If you do, then let’s figure out the next part to focus on...below are the next steps! 2. Your timer is wearing out and beginning to work intermittently during the cycle...leading to the stop & go... replacing your timer may get rid of this issue. 3. Your lid switch is wearing out and beginning to work intermittently. Once your wash cycle gets to the spin portion, your lid switch verifies that your actual lid is closed. It Then sends an electrical signal to the timer to continue the cycle and begin spinning. If your lid switch is not working properly, the timer will not continue to the next stage of the cycle... this is a safety feature that does not allow the machine to spin with the lid open...which alleviates the machine throwing water all over your house...not good 😮.

My side load LG was stuck on "rinse". Motor was making a noise, but no spinning. There was water leftover. Got the OE code. New pump and pressure switch. No obstructions whatsoever. Yet, it still hangs on the "rinse" cycle. I can't figure it out
Jason Ricci Have you replaced your Door Switch / Lid Switch? Below is a link to our video that shows how to perform an EMER drain, you may find this helpful in the mean time. th-cam.com/video/NDOGVtlUDss/w-d-xo.html Keep us posted! 😎👍🔧🔩
heyo . My washer is an Edison by Whirlpool model SM 8525147-A, and it would do this thing where it would start in the fill up cycle, do an agitation cycle, then it would drain and then start to rinse, but at that point it would just keep filling and filling and filling and draining all the water through. I would also hear a grinding buzzing like plastic gears grinding coming from the timer knob. That's what told me that my timer was broken. Well, that and if I advanced it one or two clicks it would resume the wash cycle as if nothing happened. After searching hopelessly online and coming up dry on the model number I got frustrated and undid the side screws and opened the control panel, and I saw the timer model number 8542050. I went to the internet and entered the number, 8542050 and BLAM! Pages of listings for the timer! I WAS SO HAPPY!!!! So, don't make my mistakes, folks: If you can't find the parts for the model number, LOOK AT THE NUMBER ON THE PART ITSELF. That'll get you there 10 times outta 10. Also, knowing that I can crack my machine open and fix it myself is a very empowering experience. I recommend everyone tinker with their machines as long as they have down the basic fundamentals of appliance repair. You'll learn a lot! Oh, and @DIY With Michael Borders, you don't need to undo the 1/4" screws holding the plastic straps. They're there to hold the control plate and let it fold up and back to expose all the wiring and tubes at once. I learned that as I was pulling her apart. Happy Tinkering!

Johana Sandhoval Hi Johana, thanks for checking out the video. This is not uncommon...you can be experiencing one of these items. 1. You can possibly have a clogged drain hose...possibly a sock is stuck in the rubber hose. 2. Belt may have snapped. The belt spins the water pump to drain tub...if it snaps, it won't drain. 3. Water pump failed...the pump might not be pumping water out. 4. Lid Switch may have failed. Its possible that the lid switch failed and not sending correct signals to timer to spin / drain properly. Keep me posted, please Subscribe to the channel that would be awesome thanks again 😎👍
I have a 70 series Kenmore washer that will only go into the rinse and spin cycles by manually turning the knob which woks only some of the time. My lid switch has been bypassed so it's not that. My hose is clean so i don't think it's that. Does this issue sound like a timer problem? The timer goes all the way through the cycle but when you lift the lid that washer is full of water. Right know i can force the spin cycle by turning the knob to spin and forcing it on. Need some help!!
Robert Louis Thanks for watching Robert! We appreciate you sharing your experience. After reading your comment, two things come to mind! 1. Although you mentioned you can manually bypass Lid Switch, it’s very possible that bypassing it, it’s not realigning the Timer back to its electronic setting. You may need a new Lid Switch. Below is a video that shows step-by-step process of replacing Lid Switch! th-cam.com/video/1hTRc-_PnP8/w-d-xo.html 2. Your Timer has faulted & no longer guiding the wash cycle through its proper stages. Replacing your Timer may fix your issue. In our opinion, we recommend replacing both parts at the same time. The parts can be purchased at ( RepairClinic.com )... this is an awesome appliance website with great low prices. Keep us posted! Again, we recommend replacing both parts as they are both tied to your continuation of the wash cycle stages. Keep us posted!

I don't think it's the lid switch because it was already bypass when i purchased it used 3 years ago. I took the front of the washed and even though the pressure tube looked clean I blew in it server times from both ends and then put everything back together. My wife just did the 1st wash load and it worked great although I think this is just temporary. Time will tell.
Hi Michael, My whirlpool washer as of lastnight filled up with water and began it's wash cycle then completely stops before the timer reaches the rinse cycle reading. The timer and and everything just stops and the machine remains filled with water. No sounds, no humming nothing. If I push the knob in and advance the timer to the next cycle it just repeats itself. The only thing it's doing is agitating and nothing else. Do you think this could be the timer?
Christopher Stephens What’s up Christopher, thanks for checking out the video. Great question & the symptoms led us to the lid switch first...we tested the lid switch and found that to work as it should. This then led us to the timer. After replacing the timer, problem solved.

Haven't tested it yet. New lid switch is $27.50 so I will definitely try that before buying a new machine. PartSelect has a good video for changing the lid switch. Looks like even I should be able to do it.
Frank Blangeard Very cool, it is a friendly repair for sure and won't harm the bank account. If that doesn't work, next I'd try your timer. I'd also verify that you have sufficient water pressure entering the washer through the lines. There is a screen "similar to the screen on sink faucets". That clogged over time and interferes with the water coming into the washer . Please Subscribe to the channel that would be awesome thanks again 😎👍
Already fixed. Another video showed me how to unscrew the two screws holding the lid switch and pull the switch out form under the top. I then used duct tape to permanently close the switch. For some reason the switch wasn't closing and that was the problem. But now that safety feature is gone so I will need to remember not to stick my head into the machine when it is spinning.
Frank Blangeard Haha so true! Thanks for the update! That's great news! It might even be a good idea to buy a new lid switch down the road to have on hand! 😎👍
Thanks for watching. Great question and in that case, we would replace Timer first. While replacing Timer, we recommend also replacing your Lid Switch.

Great video. I have this problem on a Kenmore Series 90. I’ve replaced the timer, the lid switch, the control board and the water level switch. It still stops! Any ideas??
David Thanks for watching David, we appreciate you reaching out to us. This happened to a friend of ours...replaced several parts & still had the same symptoms as you are currently having. We did some more inspections on his machine & found out that slow water flow...aka...water hose blockage was causing issue. We replaced Water Valve & all works perfectly normal.

The problem with my washer is it just stops before it hits rinse and does not advance. It fills with water, drains, but just stops when it hits rinse at the dial. I have replaced the timer and bypassed the lid switch but I still have the same problem. Any suggestions? It is a Whirlpool Ulitmate Care II

We have a Samsung top load washer that was working fine until started to stopped in the spin cycle and leave the clothes too damp, also I notice that is changing it self the size of the load for example: I put medium load but switch to extra large all the time. Hope you can help us to fix this problem, we have no more than a year since we buy the set that's why we want to try get fixed before have to spend on a new machine. Thanks in advance!
Jez Iz Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your experience. Definitely important that we get this figured out together...from the symptoms that you have mentioned lead me to the Timer or the Lid Switch. The Timer controls the “Cycle Flow” and continues to move the cycle through the steps. As the internal parts of the Timer begins to wear out...you see the washer stopping at either “Drain or Spin”... The Lid Switch also is a key part in the cycle...once you lower the Lid/door...you will hear a click. This click secures the electrical current and sends message to Timer to begin the Cycle. Also...once the cycle gets to the spin portion, the timer re-communicates with the lid switch to verify that the lid is closed for safety purposes...example: you do not want the washer to be spinning with a lid open...water will fly everywhere 😱 I recommend purchasing both the timer and the lid switch as they work together to move the washer through the cycle. To order parts, Go to: repairclinic.com Attached below is a video showing the step-by-step process on how to replace your lid switch...it’s very easy and both parts are very inexpensive.

Mabbio Thanks for watching Mabbio! We have seen this in the past. There will always be a small amount of water left over in your machine after each cycle however the water will not be visible to you. Water remaining in tub after cycle can be caused by a clogged Drain Hose not allowing all the water to exit washer. It’s also possible that your Drain Pump itself is wearing out & no longer strong enough to push all water out of Machine. We recommend checking your Drain Hose first.

whirlpool washer bought used. lid switch activated by arm attached to lid inside the machine. I hear a click. The only action is a filling and draining of water at the same time no matter where the timer is placed. bad timer?
john rbaugh Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your comment and experience John. You're experiencing a syphoning problem. It's very possible that the hoses aren't properly installed. 1. The drain hose might be extended too far down into the home drain 2. During hook-up, the drain hose might be sealed off or clogged. 3. Your actual home drain is far below the 30" line and anti-syphoning clip hasn't been installed correctly. The drain hose coming out of bottom of washer should extend up to a level of 30" or higher when exiting home drain. Keep me posted.

Thank you so much, you saved my ass !
Replacing the timer is certainly an option, but so it fixing the problem with the timer. The timer can be opened up and then just clean the contacts. Inside the 'timer' (which is really a motorized switch) is just a clock motor and an assembly of leaf springs. The contacts get burnt from all the Off/On activity. An emery board or sandpaper will work if you don't have the proper contact cleaning tool. Once a washer/dryer is ~8+ years old, new parts become hard to come by. We just fixed our own timer this evening. $230 for a New timer, problem though is that the normal appliance stores say the part is not available. 4 used ones on eBay $50 - $120 and 1 old, NIB timer for $230!?. Husband and I fixed ours in about two+ hours. This video is just fine but if the timer Motor is still working, there is no need to replace the timer assembly, just open it up and clean the contacts. What do you have to lose? Enjoy!
Thank you so much, I'm 90% sure you're on the right track for my machine, it just quit working mid cycle. Every position works except for the final rinse/spin.
Well I guess I know what my next project is! 🙃
If anyone happens to find this, before you pull your timer out check if your lid switch is clicking. Found another video about replacing it so I decided to check mine and nope no click, luckily a screwdriver shoved in the hole did make it click and let me finish this load. Bonus new switches are $20 instead of $200+ for a used timer.
@@dontcallmebrave thats crazy ty this was my problem.
Will do that!! Thanks
I have a compact washer with buttons and the time is on a screen, but, my machine drains first time and not second time I can get it to finally drain by blowing in rinse hose. I already installed a new pump. Any ideas please..
Thank you so much for this video. My 25 year old Whirlpool quit when it was time to Rinse and I searched that problem and your video came up. That was exactly the problem. Ordered the new $100 timer control and just installed it and it's working perfectly! I really appreciate your taking the time to film this. June of 2024
Thanks Mike B. I was excited that this is almost identical to my washing machine. Then you brought out the REPLACEMENT part.
I wanted a home fix...which is what I got; but, let me describe my problem more. Like you, my machine did not go into the rinse or spin cycles; but, the timer DID continue until the next space on the dial, I followed your instructions to take off the timer dial. I used a can of compressed air to spray it out a little in the holes on the back and beneath the the dial. I reattached the ground wire to the metal part of the cover and plugged it back in. I set the dial on "spin" and popped out the knob. It immediately went into the spin cycle. Thank you for the helpful video. I hope this helps others as well.

Thanks for your comments and of course this video. The replacement timers are quite expensive for such an old mechanical style of unit. The cleaning of the timer with compressed air sounds like a plan and very likely the fault of our Inglis. Now twice, the timer stops without draining the drum. Works after manually starting it again where it was last. Appreciate the advice. Thanks.

I watched this video and thought I had a bad timer or water inlet valve. After some checking it turns out I had a bad FloodSafe hose from the cold waterside. When it went to rinse it received no cold water and just sat there. Luckily the fix was inexpensive and this video did help me to eliminate the items that were working fine.

I have the same exact problem. May I ask how you fixed it? I changed the hoses and that didn't fix the issue.
Great video - both this and the one on the lid switch. My question is, how to determine if it's the lid switch or the timer that needs replacing? If it helps, I have a KitchenAid washer, model KAWS850LQ1. Mine stops at rinse, but if I manually advance the timer knob about 1/8" it will often (but not always) finish the cycle. Thanks.

Hey Branton, thanks for checking out the video. Great question & the symptoms led us to the lid switch first...I tested the lid switch and found that to work as it should.

Thanks for watching, have you verified your drain hose is clean and clear not allowing any blockage of drain water. Also, how is your water pressure coming into the washer?
Is the water coming into your washer the same pressure or speed it was the day you purchased washer... or has it slowed down?
Your screens inside water valve may be clogged. If you clean your screens, which are right inside where are your Hot and cold water lines connect to the washer are...& it doesn’t fix the problem, you will need to replace your water valve.

So go buy a used washing machine if that falls inline with your “budget.”
I 'fixed' my LG front loading washer which was stuck on rinse and wouldn't drain and move on to spin cycle. Unplug the washer. On this particular washer there is a small panel on the front lower left. You have to pop it open with a butter knife. Inside is a small black plastic plug on the left and what looks like a larger black plastic dial on the right. These are filters that probably need to be dealt with. Be prepared with towels and a bucket or large bowl since the washer is full of water.
First the small black plug and pull it out gently. It is attached to a flexible tube. Point it a your bowl or bucket, remove the black cap and let the water drain. There will probably be some sand or guck. This is slow, so once it drains clear you can plug it back up, push back in place and deal with the filter on the right. But you might want to the water in the washer come out this slow way because when you begin to remove the filter on the right side the water in the washer will gush out. It's much easier to deal with if your washer is on a pedestal with a drawer underneath so you can position a bowl to catch the water. So remove the filter on the right side. In my case it was clogged with two bobby pins, a whole cloth napkin (that I hadn't seen in years) and a whole lot of lint. Put it back together. That did the trick for me.
Side note: another fix - if LG washer shows error code LE - unplug, wait 90 seconds. Rotate drum manually to left 4 times then manually to the right 4 times. Plug back in. This resets something and has worked for dozens of people.

Is it common for the other cycles to work normally if the timer seems to have failed on one of them?
Michael Weber
Thanks for watching & yes it is. The internal design of the timer assists in coordinating the washing machine through its cycle.
At any point, any one of those internal mechanisms inside the timer wear out or fail, the timer will no longer be able to continue guiding the washer through all of its cycle.
In other words, the timer guides the washer through wash, rinse, and spin...but can stop at any point during that full cycle if any of the internal timer parts fails.
Hope this helps. Please subscribe to the channel and turn on your TH-cam notification Bell 🛎 that would be awesome thanks again!

Thanks for the video. I have a very similar washer that I think might be having the same problem. One thing I want to try before I buy a new timer, though, I have read that there may be a sock or something stuck in the drain. I read there should be a plate on the back near the outlet hose that I can remove and check the drain but I can't find it on mine. Since you have such a similar model, I was hoping you could tell me how to check the drain to see if it is clogged?
Tobias Vargrim
Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your experience Tobias! To gain access to the internal parts that the hoses connect to, you will need to remove entire washer shell/case. You will then be able to remove hoses to check & see if anything is clogging! Keep us posted!

It's been my experience that a defefective lid switch or loose lid screws are the most common causes. The timer won't advance if the lid switch isn't closed. Very seldom would be a timer problem be the cause of this problem.

When replacing the first part (silver in this case) dial, can it only go on one way? I mean could you replace it incorrectly where the indicator mark is not aligned correctly or do the grooves make it so it can only be replaced in one position? I'm talking about the piece that is underneath the button. Also, is this the only possible thing that could be causing the washer to stop mid cycle?
Annony Mouse Thanks for checking out the video Annony Mouse! Great question. The knob assembly is designed to fit on the housing in only one position. This is to prevent any confusion in regards to the position of Knob and position of Timer.
To answer your 2nd question: No...and I’m so glad you asked! At any point the “Lid Switch” becomes faulty, it will not allow the cycle to spin. This is a safety feature built into the Machine to alleviate water flying ALL OVER THE HOUSE with the washer lid open 😱...That definitely would be a lengthy clean up! With this said... once the lid switch fails... the cycle no longer allows the washer to enter the spin cycle.
Below is a link to a video that runs you through the step-by-step process on how to replace your “lid switch” and get the washer back up and running properly. I always recommend replacing the “Timer” and the “Lid switch” since both parts can cause this issue and in most cases both parts have a life expectancy of five years. Keep me posted on your progress.

C McNabb
Thanks for watching & sharing your experience! After reading your comments & understanding that you have already replaced your lid switch and your timers, an additional part it may be is your water intake valves.
These valves can clog over the years of operation and in the event that they clog...your water intake will obviously slow down and or stop completely.
As of now it’s still sounds like your water is coming in and out of the machine just fine however as the screens inside the valves gather more and more grime in debris... it can definitely lead to the timer, lid switch, & cycle duration being interfered with.
Below is a link to a video that shows the step-by-step process on replacing the part that has the valves. Definitely check it out!

Would you know what's going on with my machine if it stops working when the dial gets to "Pause Cool Down" feature, is it something serious?

Yana Ilyaguyev
Thanks for watching & sharing your experience! This is common with Kenmore washers more than others.
This is signs of a faulty section within your Timer & once the cycle gets to the point of cool down, it doesn’t know to continue due to the dead spot in Timer sequence.
We recommend replacing old Timer with new Timer. This should ultimately fix your hick-up & allow washer to complete a full cycle efficiently & effectively.

So my whirlpool top load washer will start fill, but then its like it can't switch over, it makes this weird clicking noise, & it usually eventually turns over, but its getting worse & taking much longer to click over. Is this due to a bad timer? It seems like every thing I've read about faulty/bad timers say that it just stops, but mine continues to make a clicking noise like its trying to move on but its stuck or its having a hard time pushing through.
Ashley Y
Thanks for watching & sharing your experience! Is the ticking sound coming from the actual Timer itself?
You are experiencing 1 of 2 issues...
1. Your timer is wearing out and beginning to work intermittently during the cycle...can lead to stop & go ticking... replacing your timer may get rid of this issue.
2. Your lid switch is wearing out and beginning to work intermittently. Once your wash cycle gets to the spin portion, your lid switch verifies that your actual lid is closed. It then sends an electrical signal to the timer to continue the cycle and begin spinning. If your lid switch is not working properly, the timer will not continue to the next stage of the cycle... this is a safety feature that does not allow the machine to spin with the lid open...which alleviates the machine throwing water all over your house...not good 😮. Replacing your lid switch is both repair friendly and cost friendly. Below is a link to our video changing lid switch.

How do you know if the timer is bad ? I also made sure the filter are clean and that cold is connected in the right spot. Someone said it could be the little button that tells the machine if the lid is open or not , how do I check that. Because I cant afford to buy parts I dont need. I have an admiral washer and dryer. The dry doesnt always get warm . I was told if it was the heating element that that would just go out completely it wont get hot only some time it one way or the other. Sorry I'm a single lady and learning to be a diy. Gal. Appreciate any advise you may have and thank you
Thanks for checking out the video Tammy, great question! The Timer controls the “Cycle Flow” and continues to move the cycle through the steps. As the internal parts of the Timer begins to wear out...you see the washer stopping at either “Drain or Spin”...
The Lid Switch is also a key part in the cycle...once you lower the Lid/door...you will hear a click. This click secures the electrical current and sends a message to the Timer to begin the Cycle.
Also...once the cycle gets to the spin portion, the timer re-communicates with the lid switch to verify that the lid is closed for safety purposes...example: you do not want the washer to be spinning with the lid open...water will fly everywhere 😱
I recommend purchasing both the timer and the lid switch as they work together to move the washer through the cycle.

Hi thanks for the awesome video. Very thorough and easy to follow. Need your help or anyone in this comment section. Had an issue with the washer just stopping when it's suppose to go into the spin cycle. Tried it on low-med-high load. So I bought a timer. That didn't work, so I replaced the lid sensor. Not that either. So I am stuck trying to figure out how I am going to proceed to the next step. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks for watching, glad it helped. How is your water flow? When you start your cycle, your water comes into your washer through the valve. Over time, this valve clogs up decreasing the flow rate. This can cause your exact symptoms.

@@DIYwithMichaelBorders hi wow ty for responding. Yes the wateflow comes out through the valve. Does not seem to be any clogs. The water flow is perfect.

Thanks for the reply. The next step is to verify your Drain Hose is clean & clear. A dirty and clogged hose will not allow the water to be drained efficiently...causing water pressure buildup which may cause the washer to stop mid cycle.
😎👍🔧🔩
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders I checked those also no clogs in the drain hoses.

I changed my shift actuator and lid switch and my machine still stopping on the rinse cycle have to manually set it to drain and rinse and push the start Botton for it to complete. I guess it may be the timer

Excellent video. My 18 year old Fridgeraire suddenly stopped draining and spinning. On the regular cycle it stops at a point, then doesn't progress through the cycle. I think it is not draining and when it stops at a particular point- it makes this noise, as if it's trying to move onto the next part of the cycle which comes from close to the timer area. If I move the timer a bit ahead, it continues to agitate but it still never spins. I have tried the other delicate cycle and there, it goes through the cycle but never spins at all. The knob will move from start to end without spinning - all it does it agitate. You can hear it want to do something and you hear some clicks but it won't spin. At the end of the wash, there is always a lot of water left - I am not sure if it is partly draining though since the water is about 6 inches deep always - to the same level at the end of the cycle each time. It must be partly draining since I expect if it didn't drain there would be more water? Any help in the comments from anyone would be appreciated!
Good morning, we are drinking our morning coffee answering any and all questions for the DIY community.
Your symptoms are definitely in-line with a faulty Timer however, also in-line with a faulty Lid Switch.
Our recommendation is to replace the Lid Switch first as it’s a more price friendly part.
Below is a link to our video showing replacement of Lid Switch.
th-cam.com/video/1hTRc-_PnP8/w-d-xo.html
If replacing this part does not fix issue, it is time to replace your Timer. You may want to purchase both parts so you have the Timer handy if the Lid Switch replacement doesn’t fix issue.
If Lid Switch fixes issue, you can return Timer...or you can replace both parts at the same time. New parts are always a great asset to the continued life of the unit.
Please keep us posted, we are looking forward to hearing back from you. We DIYers need to stick together!!!!!

@@DIYwithMichaelBorders Thankyou so much for your reply..but my washer is a front load washer so will it still be something similar to the lid switch for front loaders? I did a lot of research for my model and is the lid switch the same as "washer door lock and switch assembly?
@@AtheneNike1
Thanks for the reply, with front load, it’s possible that your door lock mechanism is faulty.
This can be figured out by listening to the door lock mechanism after starting the cycle. If you hear the door lock mechanism make a clicking sound after the cycle starts, it is locking door & working as designed.
anything I should check after the lid switch before replacing the timer? Anyway to bypass the timer to make sure it’s the problem?
Thanks for watching & the lid switch & timer are the two parts that cause this issue. If it’s not the lid switch, it will definitely be the timer. Keep us posted, enjoy your night.

hi... i have a maytag washer.. it wont drain the water. i know the lid switch works the tub will spin slowly. i replaced the belt thinking it was slipping and there was oily or rubbeize on the floor.. i thinking the motor not working right it cover in some grease i guess the motor is bad, now it washes great and once the water is out it spins.. what esle can i do?
Terry Sansom Hi Terry. Thanks for checking out the video. It is very possible that the belt was the main problem. As you mentioned, the belt can begin to slip as it ages and stretches out. Replacing the belt was a great choice. As far as the motor, is it making any unusual sounds or grinding noises. Have you noticed any change in tone with the washer? Any unusual, grinding, loud sounds can be an indication of the motors inner parts beginning to fail...but as you mentioned it's running great now. Keep me posted.

my Whirlpool washer will fill up with water but that's it, it will not agitate, drain water or spin, when you select your wash cycle it will fill with water and you can hear a humming noise coming from where the timer is and that's it. I had a washer full of clothes and water.
Thanks for checking out the video. Most of the time you run into your symptoms...your timer has faulted and is no longer receiving and sending the correct signals to all connected parts which in return, stops the cycle at random locations...NO FUN. I would try replacing your timer. Also, I recumbent replacing your lid switch as well because that acts as a safety precaution and will put a hold on the cycle near the rinse/spin portion once it fails. The lid switch is very inexpensive and takes 10 minutes to replace. Below is a link to my new video on replacing Lid Switch. Keep me posted and please subscribe to the channel that would be awesome!
th-cam.com/video/1hTRc-_PnP8/w-d-xo.html&lc=z12wirlhpvavj1ypy04ci3tozofnyd3avp00k
So how did you decide the issue was with the timer? Was it a loose dial or how exactly did you come to the conclusion of where to start?
Thanks
Steven Wilson Thanks for checking out the video. The symptoms led me to the lid switch first...I tested the lid switch and found that to work as it should. This then led me to the timer.

DIY With Michael Borders thank you so much I appreciate your speedy reply. I have an older whirlpool that yesterday would not drain or spin yet the rinse works fine. So I'll try these solutions tonight now that I don't have such a wet area to deal with. Again, many thanks
Steven Wilson Very cool. Please keep me posted 😀👍
I have the same problem, will rinse but won't drain and go into spin, I heard the drain pump could be clogged most likely with a sock, checked mine but it was clear, so they say I need a new pump, ebay has them new for 5 to 20 dollars so no biggy, only I can't get my pump off the motor due to rust, it's also an older machine, whirlpool, any suggestions, if I cut it off will I still be able to put a new one on?
Jo W Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your comment and experience. That's no fun...rust is a pain! I recommend spraying rust eating solvent on rust areas. WD-40 is another option and let it sit and work into the rust overnight. I ran into rust issues recently...annoying haha. Keep me posted.

I discovered the washer stopped working ON the rinse cycle. It doesn't want to agitate either when I restarted the washing cycle. I do hear a humming sound when go go through the different modes. It does fill with water. Is it possibly the timer?
Chris Z. What’s up Chris Z. Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your experience. You are experiencing 1 of 2 issues...
1. Your timer is wearing out and beginning to work intermittently during the cycle...leading to the stop & go... replacing your timer may get rid of this issue.
2. Your lid switch is wearing out and beginning to work intermittently. Once your wash cycle gets to the spin portion, your lid switch verifies that your actual lid is closed. It Then sends an electrical signal to the timer to continue the cycle and begin spinning. If your lid switch is not working properly, the timer will not continue to the next stage of the cycle... this is a safety feature that does not allow the machine to spin with the lid open...which alleviates the machine throwing water all over your house...not good 😮.

We have a maytag washer and I did laundry as usual, so I left for work and came back hours later and the cycle just completely stopped at the spin portion so my clothes were just sitting in a pool of water. So I unplugged it and tried to reset it, but now my washer won't even turn on, let alone drain the water. I did unplug it for a minute and it did turn on, but only in the "sensing" portion of the cycle (the first step). It won't do anything but just sit there. I'm really frustrated and unsure what to do...
Hannah King Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your comment Hannah...so sorry you’re having trouble. Something has failed and we need to pin-point which part.
Try toggling the cycle knob a tiny bit forward past the point that the wash cycle stopped...then push knob in and see if it starts the cycle again. If it does, it can be the “Timer” that has failed which you see in this video.
The other option “however more likely if the cycle stoped at Spin” is the Lid Switch. The lid switch is very easy to replace and pretty inexpensive.
I recommend purchasing your replacement parts from:
repairclinic.com
Either way, I would purchase both parts and replace them because the Lid Switch is pretty cheap and very easy to install. I have attached a video that shows the Step-By-Step on how to replace Lid Switch.

How would the water valve tie into everything? Not sure how it is that the normal cycle works fine on the wash portion of the cycle but then hang on the rinse portion of the cycle??
mclc432
Thanks for the question. The water valve has a screen inside each hot and cold connection point where your water lines secure themselves to the machine.
Over the years, the screens gather dirt and grime and lead to a degraded water pressure entering the machine...weeeellll.... unfortunately this can trip your cycle and cause your cycle to stop.
Hope this helps! 😎👍🔧🔩
I have a GE that does agitate but doesn't rinse/spin/drain. The timer makes noise and that's it. If I move the switch back to agitate it will once again wash. Does this sound like the timer is bad or can the pump be bad? The noise is definitely coming from the timer though and not the pump. Thanks you for any hep
I figured it out, I had a piece of towel lodged in the pump. It was very difficult to hear the pump turning on and off while trying to work with the timers typical noise in the foreground. When I removed the front panel it was clear as day when starting and stopping the machine. I figured I'd post in case someone else ever has the same issue and stumbles along my post. Thanks for your help

Why don't they sell the metal push to release spring clips that are stuck into the end caps of the control panel, separately? Ours are rusted and one broke and now i have to buy the whole endcap, just to get the spring? Or do you know if they do sell them individually? Thanks. Sorry,,was mistaken.

The problem I'm having is mine stops agitating during the rinse and smoke comes up around the drum. After I turn it off and let it sit and cool off, it finishes just fine. Any ideas? The water inlet valve does need replaced, but I wouldn't think that's causing this. It is an early 90's Amana. I replaced the belt a year ago, when I thought that might have been where the smoke came from. The belt was still intact, but worn.
Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your comment and experience Sassy Frassy! Its very possible that the belt is begging to wear out and stretch...its kinda hard to really inspect the belt and its tension when installed...since you have already replaced the belt, it should definitely last longer than a year... right haha...one would hope! Kind of a bummer if the belt has already worn out...You might need to put a new belt on it...unfortunately..
Its also possible that you are experiencing a Drain Pump beginning to malfunction. As you know, that Drain pump is an electrical unit that spins ext rely fast...and can seize over time. Keep me posted

Michael, For some reason I haven't been getting my notifications. Thank you for responding. It had been shutting down during the rinse cycle, but now it shuts down during the agitation of the wash cycle. I've started shutting it off after it fills, let it sit an hour then it seems to run through the cycle fine. I can hear a rattle sometimes. Could it be the bearings getting too hot? When the belt was replaced, my daughter got ahead of me and had it back together and put back in place before I mentioned wanting to inspect the bearings. I didn't want to pull it back out. It's in a really tight place.
what was wrong with the old timer? just stopped working with age? or battery?
Thanks for watching....the old timer finally stopped shifting the wash cycle to the rinse portion of the cycle. Easy fix! Works great! Please Subscribe to the channel that would be awesome thanks again!

Susan Francis Washing Machine problems are no fun because of how important they are to us! Since your Cycle is not filling and rinsing, it’s very possible that it’s your Timer which is shown in this video. In addition to that, below is are two video links that shows a possible blockage in the Water Inlet Valve & Hose...we ran into this. Once the cycle got to the point of filling up with water and rinsing, it stopped...and that was because of the clogged Water Inlet Valve & Hose. Check this video out below 😎👍
1. Clogged Water Inlet Valve

2. Clogged Water Hose

My washer stops after after rinse and won’t drain in that cycle. I can turn the timer to spin and it will drain and spin, just not in the same cycle. Confused if this is a timer or lid switch problem. Kenmore 80 series top load model.
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. You can test lid switch with volt meter.
If you do not have a voltmeter, we recommend replacing lid switch first as it is the more friendlier price & replacement process.
If that doesn’t work, it is time to replace your Timer. Please keep us posted, us fellow DIY’ers need to stick together!

Hey mate, I changed my water pump for my Simpson Esprit 650 but it seem to drain on a smaller load but had something heavier it doesn't seem to drain. So could it be the Timer exactly how you changed your one? I have a feeling it is since I already changed the water pump.
Thanks for checking out the video! Usually when you run into load differences that alter your drain performance, it deals with the clutch. What might be happening is your clutch is beginning to slip with heavier loads. At the opposite side of the spectrum, your clutch is still performing great with light loads. Below is a link that might help...its both the exact model but still might help. Keep me posted! Please Subscribe to the channel that would be awesome!

Don't forget to check if your cold water is turned off that was the problem with mine I just replace the hose and forgot to turn the water back on
I have a LTE6234DQ1 Whirlpool DOUBLE STACKABLE COMBO UNIT. First the dryer kept running and wouldn't shut off on it's own. So I replaced the dryer timer the first time I tried to use the washer it wouldn't drain out. It Haas a directdrive pump and it worked ok before I changed the timer on the dryer (yes it is the correct one) . I have also now changed the washer timer thinking the excessive heat may have damaged it. Still not working lid switch sounds ok. All wires in correct place. Any suggestions?
Rick Yost
Thanks for watching & we hope the video helped. It’s very possible that your Lid Switch has failed. In most cases, a failed lid switch will still make that normal clicking sound however the internal parts and electrical sensor that sends that electrical message to your timer informing it that the lid is closed....has failed. A new lid switch may solve your problem.

Hello again! I read your comment just now, and as I was editing a reply, somehow I seemed to have lost your comment! How odd.. thanks for replying back so quickly in the morning whilst having your coffee! I have a font loader so I am assuming that you instead of a lid switch for a top loader it is the same as the " washer door lock and switch assembly", for a front loader. Also a very strange thing- this morning for no reason, without me filling the small tub for the fabric softner a moderate amount of fabric softner just reappeared on it's own in the little dispensing unit - it was light blue and clean - almost as if I had added some of it just then....I have been overdoing the softner off late- so could it just be a blocked drainage pipe? I'm guessing back pressure is needed for this to happen but maybe it just happens if you leave a lot of water ( currently six inches deep) still in the machine....
Thanks for the reply, door lock mechanism is very possible. Once you turn the machine on and start the cycle, if you hear a clicking sound near the door area, your door lock mechanism is working as designed.
So my washer won't drain, spin, or rinse it just swirls the water and clothes around for a few minutes and stops... what should I do? Are the parts expensive?
Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your comment and experience LaKayla! Its very possible that your Timer needs to be replaced...as mentioned in this video.
Its also very possible that you need a new Lid Switch...I have added a link below to a video that shows the step by step process showing how to replace the Lid Switch. I recommend going to RepairClinic.com to purchase both the (Timer) part and the (Lid Switch) part. Both parts are very cost affordable and easy to install. After replacing both the Timer and Lid Switch, You should be good to go! Keep me posted!

So I replaced the water valve assuming that was the problem. On the normal cycle only hot water comes out. When I switch to cold it just stops. Switch it to hot and it’s coming out. However it proceeds to wash and once it hits rinse it won’t proceed further. What could that be?
Thanks for watching, the valve screens being clogged are the most common cause however since you have a brand new valve and screens, it’s possible that your cold water shutoff valve is not fully open.

I have this same problem and I saw a video about items stuck on the drain pump. I went through the steps and sure enough found baby's wash cloth in there. Got that out though I have the problem fixed but not yet.
Could that problem cause the time to work? Saw some videos about resetting the motor but did not seem to be for my older Whirpool Estate washer. I do not want to go buy a new times just to find out I have another problem.

How do I know what position/step the new timer is in?
marcel pilich Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your comment Marcel. After replacing your Timer, you will begin a wash cycle at the very beginning. In the even that you have a load of cloths already in the washer that has been through 1/2 the cycle...but then stopped due to failed Timer...it's best to just re-run the cloths through a full wash with new Timer.

Hi, can you help me? After a power outage while the washing machine was running (right before it hit rinse), it continously stops there. It washes well, rinses a few times, stops at the last rinse and doesn't drain.
Luluta lulu Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your experience. You are experiencing 1 of 3 issues...
1. The power outage may have sent an electrical surge through the system & possibly failed a part...
* Drain Pump
* Lid Switch
* Timer...which is mentioned in this video.
There are a lot of electrical wiring that feeds inside to all the parts & again, it’s possible that an electrical current went through your system during the power outage that exceeded normal electrical range...thus failing a part... in my opinion this is very unlikely so what I recommend is...unplug in your washing machine completely from the wall and let it sit for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, Plug the washing machine back in and run a test cycle to see if you experience the same issue. If you do, then let’s figure out the next part to focus on...below are the next steps!
2. Your timer is wearing out and beginning to work intermittently during the cycle...leading to the stop & go... replacing your timer may get rid of this issue.
3. Your lid switch is wearing out and beginning to work intermittently. Once your wash cycle gets to the spin portion, your lid switch verifies that your actual lid is closed. It Then sends an electrical signal to the timer to continue the cycle and begin spinning. If your lid switch is not working properly, the timer will not continue to the next stage of the cycle... this is a safety feature that does not allow the machine to spin with the lid open...which alleviates the machine throwing water all over your house...not good 😮. Replacing your lid switch is both repair friendly and cost friendly. Below is a link to my video changing lid switch

Did this, still getting a humming noise once it gets to the rinse cycle, every other cycle other than rinse works
Oh my gosh this just happened to me! 67 yr old woman & gonna give this a shot! Do you have suggestions where to buy parts?
My side load LG was stuck on "rinse". Motor was making a noise, but no spinning. There was water leftover. Got the OE code. New pump and pressure switch. No obstructions whatsoever. Yet, it still hangs on the "rinse" cycle. I can't figure it out

heyo . My washer is an Edison by Whirlpool model SM 8525147-A, and it would do this thing where it would start in the fill up cycle, do an agitation cycle, then it would drain and then start to rinse, but at that point it would just keep filling and filling and filling and draining all the water through. I would also hear a grinding buzzing like plastic gears grinding coming from the timer knob. That's what told me that my timer was broken. Well, that and if I advanced it one or two clicks it would resume the wash cycle as if nothing happened.
After searching hopelessly online and coming up dry on the model number I got frustrated and undid the side screws and opened the control panel, and I saw the timer model number 8542050. I went to the internet and entered the number, 8542050 and BLAM! Pages of listings for the timer!
I WAS SO HAPPY!!!!
So, don't make my mistakes, folks: If you can't find the parts for the model number, LOOK AT THE NUMBER ON THE PART ITSELF. That'll get you there 10 times outta 10.
Also, knowing that I can crack my machine open and fix it myself is a very empowering experience. I recommend everyone tinker with their machines as long as they have down the basic fundamentals of appliance repair. You'll learn a lot!
Oh, and @DIY With Michael Borders, you don't need to undo the 1/4" screws holding the plastic straps. They're there to hold the control plate and let it fold up and back to expose all the wiring and tubes at once. I learned that as I was pulling her apart.
Happy Tinkering!

My repairman came in and removed the back cut and retied some wires together and my washer was fixed. 10 mins.
hi my washer mashine does wash, spin n drain, but when its done the clothes are still soaking wet
Johana Sandhoval Hi Johana, thanks for checking out the video. This is not uncommon...you can be experiencing one of these items.
1. You can possibly have a clogged drain hose...possibly a sock is stuck in the rubber hose.
2. Belt may have snapped. The belt spins the water pump to drain tub...if it snaps, it won't drain.
3. Water pump failed...the pump might not be pumping water out.
4. Lid Switch may have failed. Its possible that the lid switch failed and not sending correct signals to timer to spin / drain properly.
Keep me posted, please Subscribe to the channel that would be awesome thanks again 😎👍
I have a 70 series Kenmore washer that will only go into the rinse and spin cycles by manually turning the knob which woks only some of the time. My lid switch has been bypassed so it's not that. My hose is clean so i don't think it's that. Does this issue sound like a timer problem? The timer goes all the way through the cycle but when you lift the lid that washer is full of water. Right know i can force the spin cycle by turning the knob to spin and forcing it on. Need some help!!
Robert Louis
Thanks for watching Robert! We appreciate you sharing your experience. After reading your comment, two things come to mind!
1. Although you mentioned you can manually bypass Lid Switch, it’s very possible that bypassing it, it’s not realigning the Timer back to its electronic setting. You may need a new Lid Switch. Below is a video that shows step-by-step process of replacing Lid Switch!
th-cam.com/video/1hTRc-_PnP8/w-d-xo.html
2. Your Timer has faulted & no longer guiding the wash cycle through its proper stages. Replacing your Timer may fix your issue.
In our opinion, we recommend replacing both parts at the same time. The parts can be purchased at ( RepairClinic.com )... this is an awesome appliance website with great low prices.
Keep us posted! Again, we recommend replacing both parts as they are both tied to your continuation of the wash cycle stages.
Keep us posted! Please subscribe to the channel and turn on your TH-cam notification Bell that would be awesome thanks again Robert! 😎👍🔧🔩
I don't think it's the lid switch because it was already bypass when i purchased it used 3 years ago. I took the front of the washed and even though the pressure tube looked clean I blew in it server times from both ends and then put everything back together. My wife just did the 1st wash load and it worked great although I think this is just temporary. Time will tell.
Robert Louis
😀 very cool. Thanks for the reply! Keep us posted! Let us know if you have any additional questions! 😎👍
Thanks Mike for taking the time with your reply!!!
Robert Louis
Our pleasure Robert! A house with a failed washing machine can be stressful. 😎👍
I have a electrical back board so how do I fix it .
Hi Michael, My whirlpool washer as of lastnight filled up with water and began it's wash cycle then completely stops before the timer reaches the rinse cycle reading. The timer and and everything just stops and the machine remains filled with water. No sounds, no humming nothing. If I push the knob in and advance the timer to the next cycle it just repeats itself. The only thing it's doing is agitating and nothing else. Do you think this could be the timer?
Christopher Stephens
What’s up Christopher, thanks for checking out the video. Great question & the symptoms led us to the lid switch first...we tested the lid switch and found that to work as it should. This then led us to the timer. After replacing the timer, problem solved. Try your lid switch first...there’s a few videos out there that will show you how to test it. Below is a link to our lid switch replacement. Again we would check Lid Switch first & get that replaced if it has failed.

Isn't the problem much more likely to be the lid switch?
Frank Blangeard Frank, thanks for checking out the video. Lid switch is definitely a possibility. Have you tested your lid switch?
Haven't tested it yet. New lid switch is $27.50 so I will definitely try that before buying a new machine. PartSelect has a good video for changing the lid switch. Looks like even I should be able to do it.
Frank Blangeard Very cool, it is a friendly repair for sure and won't harm the bank account. If that doesn't work, next I'd try your timer. I'd also verify that you have sufficient water pressure entering the washer through the lines. There is a screen "similar to the screen on sink faucets". That clogged over time and interferes with the water coming into the washer . Please Subscribe to the channel that would be awesome thanks again 😎👍
Already fixed. Another video showed me how to unscrew the two screws holding the lid switch and pull the switch out form under the top. I then used duct tape to permanently close the switch. For some reason the switch wasn't closing and that was the problem. But now that safety feature is gone so I will need to remember not to stick my head into the machine when it is spinning.
Frank Blangeard Haha so true! Thanks for the update! That's great news! It might even be a good idea to buy a new lid switch down the road to have on hand! 😎👍
So is it the timer if I can switch it to spin/drain and it will go? Our washer stops at rinse but you can switch to spin/drain and it will run?
Thanks for watching. Great question and in that case, we would replace Timer first.
While replacing Timer, we recommend also replacing your Lid Switch. These two parts work together during the cycle and cause make a huge improvement to your machine’s overall performance if replaced and brand new.
Below is a link to a video showing replacement of Lid Switch.

Lid switch, motor coupler, bad clutch timer is the last thing to check.

Great video.
I have this problem on a Kenmore Series 90.
I’ve replaced the timer, the lid switch, the control board and the water level switch. It still stops!
Any ideas??
David
Thanks for watching David, we appreciate you reaching out to us. This happened to a friend of ours...replaced several parts & still had the same symptoms as you are currently having.
We did some more inspections on his machine & found out that slow water flow...aka...water hose blockage was causing issue. We replaced Water Valve & all works perfectly normal.
Below is a link to our step-by-step video that shows replacement of Water Valve. This may solve your problem.

The problem with my washer is it just stops before it hits rinse and does not advance. It fills with water, drains, but just stops when it hits rinse at the dial. I have replaced the timer and bypassed the lid switch but I still have the same problem. Any suggestions? It is a Whirlpool Ulitmate Care II
inebriatedbum Thanks for checking out the video. Turn off water supply...Disconnect your warm/cold water hose...clean filter and see if that helps. Keep me posted. Subscribe to the channel that would be awesome thanks again
Thank You! Turns out it was a faulty water inlet valvue. I noticed it was humming which it didn't do before I replaced the timer. Working great now!
inebriatedbum Awesome thanks for the update! This will help future viewers as they read through the comments and see what others have run into. Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience 😀👍
inebriatedbum faulty water inlet valve
We have a Samsung top load washer that was working fine until started to stopped in the spin cycle and leave the clothes too damp, also I notice that is changing it self the size of the load for example: I put medium load but switch to extra large all the time.
Hope you can help us to fix this problem, we have no more than a year since we buy the set that's why we want to try get fixed before have to spend on a new machine.
Thanks in advance!
Jez Iz Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your experience. Definitely important that we get this figured out together...from the symptoms that you have mentioned lead me to the Timer or the Lid Switch. The Timer controls the “Cycle Flow” and continues to move the cycle through the steps. As the internal parts of the Timer begins to wear out...you see the washer stopping at either “Drain or Spin”...
The Lid Switch also is a key part in the cycle...once you lower the Lid/door...you will hear a click. This click secures the electrical current and sends message to Timer to begin the Cycle.
Also...once the cycle gets to the spin portion, the timer re-communicates with the lid switch to verify that the lid is closed for safety purposes...example: you do not want the washer to be spinning with a lid open...water will fly everywhere 😱
I recommend purchasing both the timer and the lid switch as they work together to move the washer through the cycle.
To order parts, Go to: repairclinic.com
Attached below is a video showing the step-by-step process on how to replace your lid switch...it’s very easy and both parts are very inexpensive.

My machine has buttons. It continued the cycle once I emptied out all the water and the clothes but there was still some water in the machine.
Mabbio
Thanks for watching Mabbio! We have seen this in the past. There will always be a small amount of water left over in your machine after each cycle however the water will not be visible to you.
Water remaining in tub after cycle can be caused by a clogged Drain Hose not allowing all the water to exit washer.
It’s also possible that your Drain Pump itself is wearing out & no longer strong enough to push all water out of Machine.
We recommend checking your Drain Hose first. Below is a link to our video that we uploaded recently. Definitely check it out!

Or, you can share your machine Serial # with us & we can look up the replacement parts you need.
Hope this helps. 😎👍
whirlpool washer bought used. lid switch activated by arm attached to lid inside the machine. I hear a click. The only action is a filling and draining of water at the same time no matter where the timer is placed. bad timer?
john rbaugh Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your comment and experience John. You're experiencing a syphoning problem. It's very possible that the hoses aren't properly installed.
1. The drain hose might be extended too far down into the home drain
2. During hook-up, the drain hose might be sealed off or clogged.
3. Your actual home drain is far below the 30" line and anti-syphoning clip hasn't been installed correctly. The drain hose coming out of bottom of washer should extend up to a level of 30" or higher when exiting home drain.
