My whirlpool washing machine, model sm-8525493, will fill with water and then stop. There is a weird smell for a little bit as the a whirring sounds emanates from the machine and then nothing. It stops trying to work. We thought it might be the lid switch which seemed to work but then it filled with water again and then just stopped again. (The first time it did this it wouldn't even do that). Help!

i had the same problem and found a piece of trash in my valve. The valves are controlled by a solenoid and are very sensitive.

Try resetting your water level control. If that doesn't help then set the water level control to the lowest setting and observe if level exceeds that setting. If so, you may possibly have a faulty water level control, or an obstruction in the air dome or water level control hose. This can be a tricky 1 to diagnose for a novice.

check hose to water level switch, if it has had an out of balance situation it can loosen or detach hose. replace hose firmly back on switch or replace hose if that doesn't work.

Remove the pressure switch hose and blow into it. Is it hard to blow through?
In the bottom right rear of the outer tub there is an air dome where the other end of the pressure switch hose is connected. The air dome can become clogged and prevent the pressure switch from working properly.
Also inspect the hose for any cracks splits or pin holes.
To access the air dome remove the cabinet shell as follows:
I will skip console removal as is seems you already know how...
With the console lifted;
1. You will find a lid switch connector (white in color). Unplug the switch from the connector.
2. There will be two brass colored clips. Place a flat blade screwdriver straight down into the opening on top of the washer and into the groove of the clip. Push the screwdriver down and away from you and the clip will release.
3. Open the lid of the washer and place your hand under the front rim of the opening (DO NOT grab the wash tub). Tilt and slide cabinet forward to remove.
In the bottom right rear of the outer tub you will find the air dome.
