Good for you. :smile:


My washer had a balance problem so the spin cycle was making it move all over. I was clueless, so put a wooden wedge under a slight space. It is sort of resolved, for a time, anyway. It still is leaving the clothes too damp. Prolly waited too long.

Yes. I am doing a happy dance.bigsmile bigsmile bigsmile bigsmile bigsmile bigsmile
Any advice captain why my washer won't spin on the damn dry cycle?


maybe it's broken
Oh gee thanks Mr. Maytag


lol, yes, either the timer has a bad set of contacts, or the lid switch is bad, this stops the spinning when you open your lid. Depending on your machine, raising the lid may also stop other functions, open the lid, look for the little slot where the actuator pin on the lid makes contact. gently depress the spring loaded actuator arm in the slot (say things like, you're ugly, or that color looks terrible on you, lol j/k) with a toothpick, you should feel a little resistance and hear a definite click, if thats working, it's the timer

And congrats Cap! drinker
