Tub will not drain or spin. Lid switch has continuity. How can I tell if hose is clogged or lid switch is defective. Please advise.
For model number HTWP1000M0WW
Hi Ray, Thank you for the question. You can remove the hose and run water through to see if there is a blockage. You have already tested the switch for continuity. I suggest testing the timer. It might not be sending it to the next cycle to spin and drain. Hope this helps!

When the door open the machine drains and keeps going with the process, it does not spin but water is drained and refilled. Isn't supposed to completely stop when the door open?
