did you plug the lid switch back in?


Whirlpool Washer Lid Switch Part # 3949247

I never unplugged it. I thought that it might have been the problem, after reading so many other posts, but my tought was this: if the tub will agitate with the lid open and then prevent to go into spin until the lid is shut up, then the least it should do do is agitate (if it was a lid switch).
Thanks,

did you reconnect the capacitor?

Yes the capacitor was reconnected, nothing else was diconnected except the power, the water inlets/outlets.

Go back in there and check all your connections. your timer connection may have come loose. Seen it!

yes jw is right check all the connectors, may have came loose when replacing the coupler depending how you is disassembled.
