Kenmore Washer Repair – Massillon, OH (110.24622300)

A Kenmore washer at a home in Massillon, OH filled with water but failed to agitate or empty, with no motor sound. We found the lid switch had failed, preventing the wash cycle from starting properly.

The Problem

The customer reported their washer filled with water but failed to agitate or empty. There was no motor sound during what should have been the wash cycle.

Diagnosis

We tested the lid switch and confirmed it had failed. The lid switch is a safety mechanism that prevents the washer from operating when the lid is open, but when it fails, it can prevent operation even with the lid closed.

The Repair

• Work performed: Replaced the faulty lid switch
• Result: Washer now agitates and drains properly through complete cycles
