Maytag neptune washer

lid switch is bad

my matag neptune front load washer keeps shutting off durning the wash cycles,and the letters LP keep appearing.Any idea as to what is wrong and how to fix it?

Is your door lock light on when machine is in use? I am having the same issue as you and I believe it is because my door is not locking during use.

If motor is not gaining speed during spin check the capacitors.

Most noises from a washing machine occur during the spin cycle. If you hear loud thumping during the spin, the load of clothes may have become unbalanced. Stop the washer and redistribute the clothes, then re-start it. Repeat these steps if necessary.

it sounds like there is either an obstruction in the pump, or the load is getting off balance during the spin cycle. two things to try, fill the washer with no cloths in it, when it starts to agitate, stop the cycle and put it in drain/spin cycle. the water should be out in under a minute. its hard to see because the door locks, but you can hear a difference in the pump when its out, or after 60 seconds, press cancel and open the lid to check. if the waters out in that time, the pumps ok. then run it through the spin diagnostic with a load of cloths. make sure the cloths are wet, and a normal load you wash. this will check to see if the load is getting off balance, and shutting down during the spin cycle. let me know if you still have the problem. good luck, shane

It will not spin while washing, it's more of a rocking back and forth. As far as the spin cycle. If it's not reaching full speed I bet you'll notice that it's not doing the full cycle because the load is bouncing around and cause the washer to shut off. take some of the clothes out and watch it spin the water out.

Hope it may help you;

If there's a loud thumping noise during the spin cycle, the load of clothes has probably gotten unbalanced. Open the lid, redistribute the clothes in the washer, then re-start it. Repeat these steps if necessary.

you def have a direct short somewhere, try remiveg the 3 screwsfrom the top of hte console and tipping foward you ll see a cintrol boardand some wiring look for the "arcing" mark or wire off causing short.
