NO start condition -
Pull the knob to start and nothing. No click, nothing.
I’ve got it narrowed down to a support switch $56.00 or the timer $188.
Is there a way to bypass the support (start) switch to confirm this is the problem?
Is there a test I should be running?
Can I bypass my switch with jumper cables, duct tape and bailing wire?
If it’s the timer I may purchase a new washer.
HELP!
My clothes aren’t washing themselves!
Did you check for 120 VAC at the wall outlet?
The support switch (#2 on the [B]diagram is just a metal mounting plate for all parts in the control panel.
If the power to the washer is correct, remove the front panel and check the lid switch (#388 on the [URL="http://www.appliancepartspros.com/partsearch/model.aspx?model_id=229935&diagram_id=20080925)). Make sure it’s engaged properly when the lid is closed.

Gene,
Thanks for the response.
I did check AC voltage - plugged my dryer into same outlet and it works so it has power.
I replaced the lid switch probably three years ago. BUT - when it failed - teh washer would fill and timer would run but it would not spin /agitate. So I suspect the lid switch isn’t the issue.
I’m at work so canr’ just run over and check it.
Thoughts?

Sounds like the problem is a bad timer, but without the wiring diagram I can not tell you how to test it. If you do have the wiring diagram and can post it, it may help.
Gene.
P.S. Appliance Parts Pros price for this timer is just $110.38 compare to $188 you posted earlier.
Can the timer be bypassed/jumped to determine / validate that it’s faulty?
I just did a pretty extensive GOOGLE on the wiring diagram and came up empty.
Any timer is just an assembly of a few switches operated by a special timer motor. You can not do any tests or bypass anything without the wiring diagram. Check inside the control panel for the tech sheet.

Y’know Gene - God Bless you!
It just occurred to me that my wife told me a month or so back that the washer "never stopped" it just kept spinning and spinning.
Told me it’s done this a "few times".
What else could it be but the timer getting ready to go "toes up"?
I’m going to order one up!
Thank you so mouch for the assistance. I appreciate it!
