The trouble started when the washer went into the spin cycle.
There was a continuing "clunk, clunk, clunk" sound as if it
were trying to start. After a Sears service call, I was told
the problem was the control panel, so I ordered one and
replaced it, only to find out that was not the problem. I've
checked the lid switch and that's OK. It will also occasionally
stop in the middle of a wash cycle, accompined by a humming
sound. Almost always, I can raise and lower the lid a number
of times (10 to 20 or so) and the spin cycle will start. Also,
after unplugging it for half an hour or so, and letting it
"cool", it will operate properly until the spin cycle starts.
Any help would surely be appreciated, as this process of
elimination could get expensive. Of course there's always
the option buying a new one, but that's why I'm writing this.

Thanks Again....J
