My first thought is the lid switch

On this machine i can't be certain but you flip up the top and pop the clips to tip the case forward so that you can replace the broken switch.

HOW DO I CHECK TO SEE IF THE LID SWITCH IS GOOD AND HOW WOULD I CHECK THE TIMER WHAT WOULD I NEED

This is the correct lid switch for your washer, not the one JW posted.

WHIRLPOOL 3949238 Lid Switch Assembly, AP3100001




Can you hear the lid switch click on and off as you open and close the lid?


If not take a look at it to see if it's broken. Unless you have a ohm meter.
If you have a meter ohm it out.

Yeah I was just guessing about the lid switch because I could not get the model number to come up at 3 different sites and I REFUSE to go to SEARS parts site.

[paliothatsme]

WHAT WOULD I SET THE OHM METER AT AND WHAT NUMBERS WOULD I BE LOOKING FOR
THERE IS NO CLICKING SOUND ON THE LID SWITCH JUST PUSHES DOWN NO CLICKING JUST SMOOTH
HOW WOULD I LIFT THE LID OF WASHER

[viking351]

check the pressure switch. if its not working you won't get a spin. the lid switch can be checked by jumping the connections and seeing if it works.
good luck

[paliothatsme]

OK BUT THE PRESSURE SWITCH IS?
AND HOW WOULD I JUMP THE SWITCH?
AND WHERE WOULD I SET THE DIAL ON THE OHM METER
AND THERE IS NOT CLICKING SOUND ON THE SWITCH

[jumptrout51]

The pressure switch has nothing to do with it. The lid switch is bad or the timer is bad. Verify the lid switch first.
Set the ohm meter for continuity.

The top does not pop up. You have to flip the controls up. You will see the lidswitch quick connect. The dang water pressure switch aint got a dayum thang ta do with it not spinning. Check this out:

They changed the way the Lid Switch Controls the Motor

110.24932200 = Lid Switch only stops Spin
110.24932201 = Lid Switch Stops Agitate & Spin
110.24932202 = probably Agitate & Spin

Check to see if opening the Lid will stop Agitate,
If YES, Lid Switch is good.
