Washer Will Not Spin Unless Lid Is Opened And Closed Appliance Repair Troubleshooting Questions › Category: Washing Machines › Washer Will Not Spin Unless Lid Is Opened And Closed 0 Vote Up Vote Down Anonymous asked 8 years ago I have a kitchenaid superba KAWS850JQ0. The machine spins for the initial rinse cycle, drains and fills. But will not spin for the spin cycle unless I open and close the lid. I have replaced the lid switch and the timer. Any other ideas?
