My Whirlpool Washer model LSN2000JQ1 washer wont drain or spin

I understand that your Whirlpool washer is not spinning or draining. While you are waiting for an expert to respond, I have attached some helpful links below that may provide information to assist you with your question. Have a great day!

Thank you! These are the links I found and was hoping they might be able to let me know whats happening now.

Thank you for your question.

I am sorry you are having a problem with the washer. If the washer would not make any noise until you bypassed the lid switch we know at the least the lid switch is defective. If the switch was good, you should have heard the same hum you did with the lid switch bypassed. If you are not getting a good connection, the wire will heat up and not provide the motor with enough voltage to run. I have found a video that shows how to bypass the lid switch. Click

to watch the video. If the washer does not run after bypassing the lid switch, please let me know. If you have a volt ohmmeter and feel comfortable making live voltage checks I can give you the check to diagnose the washer.

If you do not feel confident repairing this problem yourself, then you can have it repaired at your home by a Sears technician. Here is a link for the website:

I do have an volt ohmmeter, and do feel comfortable checking the voltage. What should it be at?
--I did bypass with a wire and heard the humming noise, and yes the wire did get very hot quick! Let me know what I should do! Thanks for your response!
