What a fricken, stressful, big pain in the arse!!!! Seriously...?? Ive been doing some looking around just in case I need t replace my washer...but what a nightmare. It's either HIGH praises for a recommended machine or it's absolutely HATED!! Ugh!! I was almost ok with having to get a new machine since mine is 10-12 yrs old but now I'm just hoping it's an easy fix to avoid having to pick out a new machine.

I'm pretty sure it's the lid switch (top loader Kenmore, 800 series)...I had been able to hit it a few times in the corner and get it work but this past week, my trick stopped working...So I have an appt. for Thursday to have it checked.
