I was considering using some wire which probably would have worked but it would have rusted, then it occurred to me to double two zip ties x 2. BINGO ! We're back in the saddle! In the future, we'll be able to encase the whole switch in carbonite. It will be safe in there and never fail again. : )
This worked very well for me. Thank you for explaining so well and easily.

Thanks so much for this simple fix! I was already planning to replace my 20-year-old washer and dryer because the dryer started sounding bad a couple days ago. Tonight at 11:00 PM the washer didn't drain. I have company arriving from another state tomorrow and I was already exhausted from trying to finish a DIY room remodel. Two plastic coated twist-ties and I have a temporary fix. Wonderful!

Interesting. I didn't consider it a temporary fix. Didn't Scott say the zip ties were actually stronger than the original glue? I hope it goes another few years!
Thank you! Like another commenter, I'm a 61 year old disabled woman with some tools and zip ties who, after bailing buckets full of water out of a half washed load of laundry, decided to look for a video. Thank God, yours was the first to pop up...and voila! My biggest obstacle was getting the holes to line back up to reinsert the screws (that was 10 out of the 15 minutes it took.) You don't know the gratitude and relief I feel right now...listening to the rinse and spin cycles kicking in! Thank you SO much.

Here I was watching all these other guys talking about a sock in the pump, a bad pump, bad timer switch, etc. I did a short inspection and it didn't seem to be as described by others. Scott, when you said "it doesn't spin and doesn't pump" that was the key to my situation. And it's the easiest to check. Took out the two screws, and sure enough, there were two pieces; and upper half and a lower half. Squeezed them together with my fingers and toggled the switch and I could hear the click. Went and got the ziptie. BINGO!!! You are correct! And made me look like the hero to my wife!!!!!LOL! I actually gave you the credit you deserve!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!

Hawaii's lifestyle is laid-back, no rush, no worries environment, but cost of living is high. I only been to the Big Island once. Beautiful but the volcanoes can cause problems with air quality. I enjoy the people and environment in Hawaii, but also miss jumping in the car and driving for miles. It's called Rock fever, being closed in and isolated. Enjoy your adventures!
You are my hero. My washer was holding my sheet captive and refusing to drain. This was such as easy fix!

Thanks for this. My issue was slightly different but you gave me the confidence to tackle the repair. With the lid open I did get the spin cycle when I depressed the lid switch with a screwdriver but when I closed the lid I could not get the spin cycle. So I figured that the lid switch was still functional. When I took it out I noticed that the portion that is depressed seemed a little stiff so I depressed it a number of times, cleaned it up externally and still put the zip tie around the switch since that seemed to bring everything in a little tighter. Put it back in and it worked. May not get another 20 years on the machine but this saved me a bunch of hassle (and money) around Christmas. Thank you very much.
Awesome! Thank you! Thank you! Even I was able to follow your instructions and fix in in a few minutes as I am the least handyman guy on the planet.
GREAT help! My washer would wash, agitate for a while, then stop. Then, after what seemed time for something to cool down or reset, it would agitate again when I restarted it...but never to the end of a wash cycle. I thought it HAD to be the timer, but the same thing after replacing. Was ready to call for help, when I saw this. Why it worked for some of the agitation cycle (3 or 4 minutes, and never near the end of a cycle) is what stumped me. Perfect solution! Thx

Def. gonna try this because I've always had to press down on the lid of my washer to get it to advance cycles. Thank you!!!
I watched this video and did exactly like you did and my washer is working again. Thumbs up!

Very good👍
Thank you very much. i didn't even think to look at the switch. I was preparing to replace either the pump or front panel and control system. Thanks to your video it was 2 zip ties and I'm done. Thanks again.
Sharing your video now! Just fixed it before my husband could come home from the store 💕

Thank you so much for taking from your time to upload this video! We had this issue and thought is was a coupler problem but it turned out to be much simpler than that. Wish I would have seen your video sooner. It should have many more views than it does now!!!!!
Thank you sooo much!!! Having 6 children in the house and the washer not working is a major problem! But thank you for this excellent fix!!!may God continue to bless you!

Thanks so much, That’s great news😊
Thank you. Many more years to come for that old washer. What a great video! much appreciated.
You win the internet today because I just fixed my Mom's 1000 year old Whirlpool using your ziptie method. Great suggestion about getting a pliers on there. I used a flathead between the pliers and the tie lock to lever in a couple more clicks. Literally a 5 minute job like you said. Thank you for being at the top of my search and for your simple, succinct example. =)

First name is Baron, but you're not the first or likely the last to switch them around. =) Btw, my Mom says thank you! =D My step-Dad was amazed at how quickly I fixed it but I told him I was just standing on the shoulders of giants. =) Thanks again for your vid. You helped me be their hero today.
