I have replaced the pump on my combo waasher/dryer. The drain hose is clear, fills and agitates, but when it gets to the spin cycle I get no spin and no drain...what else should I trouble shoot?

Does the motor run when it comes to the drain/spin?

Where do I check that or what should I listen for...when the machine stops the agitation I hear nothing else...is that when I should hear a motor?

Sounds like the problem is a bad lid lock switch (#50 on the diagram). You have to remove the washer front panel to access it. - The lid lock Part number: AP2108159

Judy,
The lid lock is a safety device. When it comes to the spin/drain, the power goes through the lid switch. It can be tested for continuity.

Besides the switch there is a kind of lock motor which should lock the lid to supply back feed to the timer and start the pump and spin. The failure of this part is one of very common issues and I suggest just to replace it. In the worst case, if it would not fix the problem, you can just return the part (if you ordered it from APP).
Gene.

Gene. :confused: Would this be why there is no continuity in the wires on the pump...I tested the plug that comes out of the pump and the meter never moved or does the switch run power to the pump? Shouldn't I have continuity even though the switch is bad?
