KitchenAid KAWS677EZ0 direct-drive washer Parts

On the KitchenAid KAWS677EZ0 direct-drive washer, the main parts are the basket and tub (where clothes wash), the agitator (moves clothes through water), and the controls that run the cycle. Your washer also includes features like a self-cleaning lint filter at the bottom of the basket; see the KAWS677EZ0 owner's manual for the full parts-and-features diagram.

Common washer parts (and what they do)

• Basket: Holds the laundry and spins to extract water
• Tub: Holds the wash water around the basket
• Agitator: Circulates clothes for cleaning (some models have an upper section that can click during wash)
• Water inlet valve / mixing valve: Brings in hot and cold water and blends temperature
• Drain system: Pump and drain hose move water out during drain
• Drive system: Motor and drive components that agitate and spin
• Lid switch: Helps the washer stop spinning when the lid is opened

To reset your KitchenAid KAWS677EZ0 direct-drive washer, stop the cycle by pushing in the Cycle Control Knob, then restart by closing the lid and pulling the knob back out. This clears many “stuck cycle” situations caused by a paused timer or an unseated control setting.

Quick reset steps (KAWS677EZ0)

• Push in the Cycle Control Knob to stop the washer.
• Turn the knob to OFF.
• Wait 1 minute.
• Close the lid fully.
• Turn the knob to a new cycle and pull out the knob to start.

If it still will not start or seems “stuck”

These checks fix the most common non-start and mid-cycle stop issues on this style of washer:

• Confirm the timer dial is lined up; turn it slightly to the right, then pull to start.
• Make sure the washer is plugged directly into a working outlet (no extension cord).
• Check the home breaker or fuse.
• Verify both water faucets are fully on.
• Straighten kinked inlet hoses and clean clogged inlet screens.

What “reset” means on this washer

KAWS677EZ0 uses a mechanical timer and lid switch logic, so “resetting” is usually just re-seating the timer position and restarting correctly.

Symptom	What to do	Why it works
Knob pulled out but nothing happens	Turn timer slightly right, pull to start	Timer dial may not be aligned on a contact
Washer stops during Permanent Press	Wait about 2 minutes	A built-in pause is normal
Won’t agitate or spin with lid open	Close lid firmly	Lid switch must be engaged

Why it matters

A proper reset prevents unnecessary part replacement and helps you separate a normal pause (like Permanent Press) from a real power, water-supply, or control issue. For model-specific operating details and cycle behavior, use the KAWS677EZ0 owner's manual.
