Signs it has failed

  • Won't spin

How we confirm it first

The switch is tested with a meter; the striker on the lid is checked.

What the repair involves

Replaced under the top panel.

Why it fails

Lid switches and strikers wear from constant use; detergent and water dripping onto the switch area corrode contacts.

How to make it last

Wipe up spills around the lid and avoid slamming it.
