know lid switch is good as it was first replaced part
Have the same problem, know lid switch is good as it was first replaced part and original was testing questionable. Installed new one and still nothing no noise or anything even at different settings. Is the water level sensor the next logical change? Or is there a way to test it?
Update (11/06/23)
I checked the pump, it is clear, changed the knob to multiple positions but only get water to flow out. I will take apart again and inspect further for wires on the motor or capacitor. There is no noise from motor at all, there is no attempt to do anything, I have unplugged and plugged back in, I will have the model number this afternoon after I leave work. I did not see a thermal anywhere and if that was the case the machine being down for two days should clear the thermal unless it’s a manual reset I am missing or a thermal fuse and it is blown, I have replaced the coupler before so inspected that, what are some symptoms of the water level sensor failing and could that prevent it from spinning or draining for what ever reason?
Es esta una buena pregunta?

Hi @dustinlebla8279,
What is the model number of the washer?

The model number is 110.20902990 serial number ck 1975114 type 111. I have replaced the lid switch with a brand new part and have depressed it with tool to be sure it was made, the switch has continuity so should be good, I have checked the pump and there is nothing clogging it, the motor is free and spins, the coupler is connected and I have replaced it once before so I am familiar with that. All of the connectors appear in good condition, the water level is currently low as I have drained the water out before proceeding.

@dustinlebla8279 Hi again, as you are getting water in then I am saying the 120v power is ok. I do not have a wiring diagram so even though the wires are colored I could not tell you where to look for lost power. The motor is not only reversable but probably two speed so there are many wires to it from the timer. You say you checked the lid switch to see if it closes, so thinking this you must have a multi meter.

The water level switch must be satisfied for the machine to agitate. So the level switch has to be closed from the pressure of the water pushing air to its diaphragm, as there are different levels on some machines the power has to go thru it and thru the lid switch to the timer motor and controller. Then to the motor. With the top of the washer laid back you should be able to follow the power thru from the hot wire to the controller. it is rare a motor is faulty as well as the controller. With the water coming up to the set level it waits for the lid switch to close and run the timer motor and operate the controller if it is pulled out. It is possible the tube from the water box has a hole in it and the water level switch remains open but then you would get water filling up over the tub.

Some of these washer also has a pause setting that would stop things but I think this is about two minutes. Again it is an older washer and although most are made in the same factory all could have a bit of different cycle and control. I am at a loss on this one but with caution I would follow the power from the terminal where the main plug comes in and make sure the neutral, hot and ground look good then simple using the case frame look for 120v along the circuits down to the motor leads from the controller. All else would be water valves and water temperature which would not stop the motor. However be careful. I can not find a wiring diagram but there may be one glued to the inside surface of the covers.
Had to make a few posts as my comments were long
