Kenmore Washer Repair – Uhrichsville, OH (110.29522801)

We responded to a washer repair call in Uhrichsville, OH where the customer reported the lid wasn’t closing all the way, then it just dropped with a snapping sound and everything stopped with the washer full of water. Our diagnosis revealed a failed lid switch that needed immediate replacement.

The Problem

The lid wasn’t closing all the way. Then it just dropped but there was a snapping sound and everything stopped with the washer full of water. The clothes are currently out but the water is still in it.

Diagnosis

The lid switch had failed. This safety component prevents the washer from operating when the lid is open, and when it breaks, the machine stops mid-cycle as designed to prevent potential injury.

Maintenance Tips for Kenmore Washers

• Keep the lid and lid switch area clean of detergent buildup that can interfere with proper closure
