Kenmore Washer 110.25852400 lid switch symptom


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi, the subject is ~15yo. Its been working fine.

it stopped mid-cycle today. I had no idea why -- tho I'd just messed with the cycle knob because i wanted to restart after having forgotten to put soap in.

so i assumed a reset of some sort, or fried something somehow.  In the course of trying things I happened to lean on the lid -- it started! lean off, it stops, lean on you know.

by putting weight in the center of the lid forces the white metal to bow/sink/snap down changing the geometry of the lid and i presume the lid switch plunger.

Does this sound like a failing soon to be dead switch. I'm hoping for some consensus before I buy the part, dis-assemble/install and find out no, you need <fill in the blank> 

tx real app people!

Switch is likely broken. Additional pressure is closing the broken switch. Replace switch.
