Check Washer Control Magnet

If the washer is not spinning, the next check is of the washer control magnet. Washers use a control magnet, an electrical-mechanical component, to enable the gearcase to shift into the spin cycle. You can easily check the control magnet by using the volt/ohmmeter set on the RX-10 scale. With the volt/ohmmeter on RX-10 scale, connect the probes to both terminals of the control magnet. NOTE: When checking a suspected faulty control magnet, remove the wires from the washer wiring harness to avoid an inaccurate reading.

With the volt/ohmmeter probes connected to the suspected control, a reading at least mid-scale or 100-180 ohmsshould be indicated. If no meter deflection is registered, the control magnet is faulty and will have to be replaced.

To check for proper voltage to the control magnet, set the meter on the 150 A/C scale and place the probes on the wiring terminals of the control magnet. Set the timer dial to a spin cycle, and you should get a reading on the volt/ohmmeter of 110-125 volts. A reading of 110-125 volts means electricity is available from the timer, through the lid switch, to the control magnet. Remember, in this check you are measuring voltage from the timer to the wires that connect to control magnet. The resistance check above is used to check the coils of the control magnet.

If voltage is available and the washer still does not spin in the cycle, the problem is probably in the washer gearcase or superstructure assemblies. A factory-trained technician should be called if you diagnose a malfunction in the gearcase.

Washer not Spin Repair Procedure

Unplug the washer power cord from the washer receptacle before servicing washer. Exercise care when moving the washer from its original position, or the washer legs might damage the floor.

To Replace Lid Switch

Locate lid switch and remove, with hand tools, the screws that secure the lid switch to the washer top. Remove the wiring harness wires from the terminals and remove the faulty lid switch.

Install the replacement lid switch by mounting in the same position as the faulty lid switch. Follow closely the installation steps and instructions that are provided in the replacement lid switch kit. If no installation steps are provided, reverse the above steps.

To Replace Washer Control Magnet

Remove screws that secure the washer back panel with hand tools. Locate the control magnet and remove the harness wires and screws that secure the control magnet to the washer gearcase. Next, remove the control magnet.

Install the new part control magnet by mounting in the same position as the faulty magnet that was removed. Follow instructions that are provided with the part. If no installation steps are provided, reverse the above steps.
