Washer Does Not Complete Wash
Washer Does Not Complete Wash Cycle
Washer stops at Spin cycle. Will not finish cycle. Some times you can force it by manually setting the dial to Drain and Spin. Sometimes it takes several tries to get it to go. The lid lock light will come on solid and it will click to lock the lid. Then it starts flashing, unlocks and stops. After several tries it will lock and continue to finish the cycle.
