Washing Machine Issues
a) Potential causes include:
 A damaged lid switch (found on the top part of the washer): Confirm if it’s the lid switch that has a problem
by closing it to listen if there is any noise coming from it. If there isn’t, call a washing machine repair
expert to fix it.
 A problem with the transmission: It may cost you $400-$500 to fix the issue since you’ll have to hire an
expert.
b) The washer is clogged
Sources of clogging may be debris, dirt, or pieces of fabric. Check the pump for foreign materials and
remove them if any.
