Hi,

We have a Whirlpool washing machine (Model# from top of lid:
LSR8233JQ0), that has recently begun acting strangely. It seems to
mostly work ok, but when it gets to the rinse and spin cycles, it
pauses, and doesn't begin the rinse and spin cycles.

I found that if we push down on the switch (inside the hole) that is
normal depressed when the lid is closed, that it continues on.

I don't know if there's anything else in the washer that would stop it
from going to the rinse and spin cycles, so I'm thinking/hoping that
it's just something with the switch, and am looking for comments on this
and also advice re. how to fix it.

Thanks in advance,
Jim
