Sears Kenmore Washer Lid Switch
BySears Kenmore Washer(model#110.23034101): Washer will fill with water then stop and not do anything, also when you put it spin, nothing happens. Found the lid switch bad.
What you do to check it is to get a volt/ohm meter and put the the meter on the ohms setting, then put the meter probes in the black & red connectors from the lid switch, then push the lid switch down, if your meter reads 0-1 ohms then its good, if the meter reads nothing at all its bad.
Here’s the lid switch for this model:

I think that I am having a similar problem. Last night I tried doing a load and was shot an F3 error code on my Kenmore Elite series. I canceled that load, tried restarting it and was shot a F4 code, again canceled and tried once more with no codes. I came back to find the washer filled with water and doing nothing.It looked like it made it through wash cycle but not quite to the stage that it adds the softener. I tried setting to the drain/ rinse setting and nothing happened. From looking up the error codes it F3 is Lid switch failure and F4 is recirculation switch failure. But the more reading I have done it sound like the Lid Switch, but knowing nothing of washing machines i’m not quite sure. Also is there an easier way of draining the washer other than scooping it out by hand?
