whirpool washer model LSQ9244EQ0
Thank you for your question.
I am sorry you are having a problem with the washer. I recommend turning the timer to a spin cycle and pull out on the knob. If the washer drains, the motor is not the problem. Seeing as you have already replaced the timer I suspect the problem is with a defective pressure switch. If the contacts in the switch are defective the washer could fill and nothing else. To see if the pressure switch is the problem unplug the washer from the wall. Then open the console, as you did when you replaced the time. Now look for the pressure switch. The pressure switch is the part that has the clear hose attached to it. Once you find the part, remove the wires. Then get a piece of insulated wire and strip the insulation off both ends. Push one end of the wire into the backside of the pressure switch connector where the violet wire is and the other end where the tan wire is. Then make sure that the bare wires do not touch anything metal and plug it in. then start the wash in a wash cycle. If the washer agitates, the pressure switch needs to be replaced. The part can be ordered from our parts website: Sears Parts Direct .
When you are installing the pressure switch, make sure all the water is out of the tub before connecting the hose and wires.
I hope this is helpful. Please reply below with more details if you need further assistance.

Thank you for your question and I understand your concern.
If your washer agitates but quits running when it reaches the drain and spin cycles then it likely has a broken lid switch. The lid switch is located under the main top and when the lid is lowered at short little plunger located under the bottom of the lid will protrude through a small opening in the top and strike the lid switch. If the lid switch has failed the washer will not run at all in order to drain and spin. If your washer will drain water; it does not have a broken lid switch. If it drains but won't spin would likely indicate a worn clutch or a broken brake release lever.
I added a YouTube video showing how to access and replace the lid switch. I also added another video showing how to access and replace the clutch.
The lid switch is part #3949247 and the clutch kit is part #285785 which can be ordered from Sears PartsDirect

Betty: The videos worked for me. Did you try both videos? Both videos will show how to remove the cabinet. Reply with the model number if you’re not able to get either video to work.
