Our not-too-old Whirlpool washer won't drain or spin...just holds the
water and will agitate if the dial is moved back. Any ideas? Please
help us think fast...if we can't fix it we're liable to buy a new one
this weekend.

Hi,

No model# posted....but if the lid switch or lid switch probe is broken
on some WLP washers the washer will fill and agitate but will go dead
in the drain and spin modes.
