Whirlpool Washer Repair – Canton, OH (LSQ9211KQ0)

A Whirlpool washer in Canton, OH wasn’t completing its spin cycle, leaving clothes soaking wet at the end of each load. The washer would wash but wouldn’t spin the water out. Our diagnosis revealed failed safety components that were preventing the spin cycle from engaging.

The Problem

The customer reported that their washer will wash but won’t spin the water out. The machine would complete the wash portion of the cycle normally, but clothes remained saturated with water at the end.

Diagnosis

Testing revealed that the lid switch had failed and was not properly signaling that the lid was closed and locked. Additionally, the spring in the back of the tub had broken, which affected the tub’s ability to maintain proper positioning during the spin cycle.
